Oh sorry, I accidentally gave you my comic book. Oops, the NIE will be out really soon, I swear.
January 30th, 2007 at 12:02 pmThe NIA will say what ever heir presadente Cheney want’s to be said…..Impeach, now
January 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pmIt’s immaterial what the NIE says…since the decision to escalate….oops, ’surge’…oops, ‘augment’…has already been done decided by the Deciderer hisself.
Congress needs to get busy and start impeachment proceedings, or an increasingly frustrated and furious American Public is going to take matters into their own hands and storm the White House during the next anti-war rally.
January 30th, 2007 at 12:14 pmYes, but hasn’t the troop surge already been initiated? Was this all not part of the plan, from the start? To stall NIE until after SOTU was always the intention. Negroponte isn’t fooling any American citizen who is paying attention. Nor will his just reward be denied him.
January 30th, 2007 at 12:16 pmI bet it won’t say this:
Arabia, Iran cooperating on crises
By ABDULLAH SHIHRI, Associated Press Writer 39 minutes ago
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia and Iran are working together to try to calm the crises in Iraq and Lebanon, the Saudi foreign minister said Tuesday, despite Washington’s efforts to isolate Tehran and limit its influence in the Middle East. The mediation is an unusual step by two rivals, Saudi Arabia and Iran, that compete for regional influence.
So, has Bush united two former enemies?
January 30th, 2007 at 12:20 pmIf this were put into programmer parlance:
If
extent to which the Iraqi government and political leaders can establish effective national institutions that transcend sectarian or ethnic interests = great Then
If willingness of Iraqi security forces to pursue extremist elements of all kinds = High Then
If the extent to which extremists, most notably al-Qaeda in Iraq, can be defeated in their attempts to foment inter-sectarian struggle between Shia and Sunnis = high Then
If extent to which Iraq’s neighbors stop the flow of militants and munitions across their borders. Then
I think that progress is possible in all these dimensions, laying the foundations for success.
If you were a betting person, and these if statements were executed, what is the likelihood of getting progress to be possible????
January 30th, 2007 at 12:22 pmThe administration just needed a few more days to make some edits
January 30th, 2007 at 12:41 pmHey, John. How are those beheadings going on?
January 30th, 2007 at 12:59 pmRock on!
It will be read like an Olde Tyme announcement: “Hear Ye, Hear Ye. The Deciderist himself hath proclaimed the Y’all can kiss his ass. The die is cast and the ball is rollin’ and there is nothing any of you retreaterists can do….Ha! And this time, this time plan on being in the winner’s circle….unless you are part of the Democrat group. The timeline for success is two years.”
