First we had “Friedman Units.” Now we have….

3 MONTHS = “BOEHNER EXTENSION”
3 MONTHS = “BOEHNER EXTENSION”
3 MONTHS = “BOEHNER EXTENSION”

Plan B would be a great name for a rock band.

While I think that there should be a cut in funding and a timeline, I also think that it would be foolish to pull out of Iraq without thinking about the repercussions and alternatives for this war. I think that for Iraq to escape chaos insitutions and funding need to be in place to address and prevent further poverty. We got into this mess without any foresight, we need to exit with a plan.

If the original principle of why we are fighting this war is as important as Bush claims, the $340 billion already spent and the further $100+ billion to be spent should be redirected toward plans to fight poverty and develop the country to prevent another Afghanistan. According to the Borgen Project, just $19 billion annually can end starvation and $15 billion provides water and sanitation all over the world. If ending terror is the goal, the Millennium Development Goals to end poverty is the way to to go for our leaders.

Bush’s Plan B will be to continue more of the same: committing money our country doesn’t have, borrowing it from China, who sits on the sideline smiling at the debt we incurr with them, bleeding us slowly until ??????

Osama’s plan was for us to do JUST WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW: getting us bogged down in an unpopular middle east war pitting us against Islam, and BLEEDING us dry economically until we are toast. That’s Osama’s statement he has made publicly, and Bush fell for it.

A 28% approval rating (that’s 72% DISAPPROVAL) shows that the American people want this war to end NOW.

Plan ‘B’? I think we are somewhere in the midst of plans ‘F-U’. Evaluation in the fall will only produce plan ‘V’ for victory. An emergency funding bill and a draft of plan ‘W’. Plan ‘W’ is an emergency funding bill and a back to the basics of plan ‘A’ plan and a planed emergency funding bill that was planned.
If we stay this course and continue to do this over and over again we can prove the sanity of this policy and eventually get a different result.

Thatâ€™s the George Bush plan – everything he touches is ruined, and they call in someone else to clean it up, fix it, and pay for it.

Plankton made it all the way to Plan Z before he finally was able to destroy Bikini Bottom….

Let’s hope that Boehner and his ilk are a little bit smarter than a one-celled phytoplankton… but that may be too much to wish for.

I find it very hard to believe that all of a sudden accountability and paying attention to the administration of the EXIT part of the war has to be more articulate than the beginning, and subsequent past chapters. Does Rep. Boehner think that just because the American people are now getting angry that they haven’t been paying attention?

Plan B is to keep buying time until Jan 2009 and then blame the new democratic president for losing the war.

why doesn’t anyone point out that “the Fall” does not, I repeat, does not necessarly mean September. By definition – the “Fall” means any time from September 21 through December 21!!
So folks- who wants to bet that there won’t be any “success or failure” report coming our way until the latest date possible!
Remember– we are all in school folks and the lesson right now is: Stall 101 and 102!!!!!!!!!!!

Plan A is the known unknown strategy and policy where success can come from the Sunnis, the Shiites, the Kurds, the north, the south, or maybe east or west as long as freedom is on the march and we fight them over there as unknown known enemies so that the Iraqis stand up while we stand down. Plan B is change the words used in Plan A to sound like a new old strategy and policy that depends more on holding the Iraqis responsible for the failures while maintaining the known unknown strategy and policy where success can come from the Sunnis, the Shiites, the Kurds, the north, the south, or maybe east or west as long as freedom is on the march and we fight them over there as unknown known enemies so that the Iraqis stand up while we stand down. Hope that clears it up.

Sounds like they’re getting a little worried. Well they should be. From the Republican’s perspective “Plan B was to make Plan A work.” Not a chance in hell thats going to happen.

I say we dump Plan B (RU 486) in the water supply. That should solve to problem after a few years.
