February 28th, 2007 at 10:13 pmFrist!
February 28th, 2007 at 10:16 pmGen. Petreaus is infor a Friedman. - - This isn't the Iraq War - it's the Mulligan War.
February 28th, 2007 at 10:21 pmYeah, he's in for a Friedman -- until the next Friedman comes along.
February 28th, 2007 at 10:27 pm'Friedman units' That's hilarious! Those words are now officially part of my vocabulary.
How many Friedman units did it take for a majority of Republicans to realize that things aren't going just fine and dandy in Iraq?
Really slow learners I know.. This is acually a trick question
..the answer is:
1 Fridman unit x infinity= Time it takes for Repubs to pull their head out of their arse.

February 28th, 2007 at 10:50 pmBWAHAHAHAHAH!
Call your F'in Friedman and raise you a lame duck!
Yeah, he’s in for a Friedman — until the next Friedman comes along.
Or until Friedman says six months for the 5th time.
February 28th, 2007 at 11:19 pmThat's hilarious:
"...or face a Vietnam-style collapse in political and public support that could force the military into a hasty retreat."
Actually, that happened about six months ago!
February 28th, 2007 at 11:31 pmYeah, General Betrayus is pretty believable compared to the Joint Chiefs.
February 28th, 2007 at 11:40 pmIn 6 months the General will say the next 6 months is critical, then the next 6 months, then the following 6 months, then Bush will leave office. Then the next president might say 6 months more, then another 6 months, so on and on till Americans surround the White House to demand that it ends.
March 1st, 2007 at 1:46 am1 Friedman unit = 6 months.
1 Warner unit = 3 months
1 McCain units = It's going to be a cake walk or/and we will be there a long,long time.
Just for the record;we (Bush,et.al) never had/have any intention of leaving--too much oil and tax payer moolah for the MIC..

Assuming "infinty" to be some transfinite ordinal, say, aleph null, I suggest that T="Time it takes for Repubs to pull their head out of their arse." is actually equal to the larger quantity
Infinity X 1FU
(transfinite multiplication is noncommutative).
:-P
