‘You have not even seen the start of real operations.’
By on Jun 4th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
‘You have not even seen the start of real operations.’
– Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, today, arguing that “it was too early to judge whether a Baghdad security crackdown was successful because the last of five extra brigades had yet to be deployed.” Apparently the additional 18,000 troops already sent to Iraq have been conducting something other than “real operations.”

June 4th, 2007 at 10:08 pm“I have not yet begun to fight”
- Gen. David ‘Asshat Bush/Cheney shill” Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq
oops wrong story….
“I have not yet begun to fight”
June 4th, 2007 at 10:11 pmThe Story of John Paul Jones in American Revolution
km4, you beat me to it.
Petraeus, you’re no John Paul Jones (the American Revolution naval hero or the Led Zeppelin bassist).
June 4th, 2007 at 10:16 pmGeneral Betrayus.

—General Bushlicker Betrayus
June 4th, 2007 at 10:23 pmThe troops have not been conducting “real operations,” but they have been dying REAL DEATHS.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:24 pmPetraeus, Be-tray-us, wants more US troops to get slain or maimed.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:29 pmLet me know when we get close to 58,000.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:31 pmYo! Petraeus!
What’s been going on for the past 4 and a half years? Everyone playing volleyball in the sand waiting for the whole team to show up?
Better keep your mouth shut — when you open it you look like a stooge or a fool.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:35 pmJake > go to Iraq and become one of the 58,000.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:36 pmLet me know when we get close to 58,000.
Let ME know when TRAITOR Cheney has his MASSIVE HEART ATTACK.
REAL Americans will be rid of ONE of the EVIL ones.
Bush is gonna BURN IN HELL for his WAR CRIMES.
For the record…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
June 4th, 2007 at 10:38 pmIf you will.

Hell Yeah!!!
June 4th, 2007 at 10:41 pmI thought the surge was supposed to happen last February.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:42 pmLet me know when we get close to 58,000.
Comment by Jake
Why, they’re not dying fast enough for you. You are a despicable specimen of human trash. Way to support the troops shithead.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:42 pmYou Gotta Love Liberals , they always think that they know everything about something that they know absolutely nothing about : )
June 4th, 2007 at 10:43 pmFor the record, I already did my service during Korea.

June 4th, 2007 at 10:44 pmTruman:
If your namesake were alive today, these same people would claim he would burn in hell for ending WWII as well. Crazy, they are.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:47 pmyou don’t hear much about the mercenaries and other
various contractors… i’ve heard the numbers closely match
those of the Government Issue forces… at 10x the price…
the combined numbers are still unable to achieve “security”…
wonder why that is? … oh yea… planned chaos…
‘cept, i’m thinking this is more than they bargained for…
and, they were warned… … huh…
June 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pm…
So the new excuse is “the surge isn’t failing because it hasn’t started yet?” I guess it’s better than “the surge is failing because the MSM and Democrats are talking shit about it.”
June 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pmHey Tom3
June 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pmso you are General Betrayus leading the hordes of liberals to help the terrorist win ? after all you hate bush , the terrorist hate bush and your enemies enemy is your friend .
The general willing to sacrifice innocent american lives just to get a promotion is Petraeus.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pmA shameless & conscienceless human being he is.
For the record, I already did my service during Korea.
Comment by Jake
Well, we’ve heard this one before. Judging from Jakie’s definition of “veteran”, I’m thinking “service during Korea” has something to do with the typing pool at Fort Dix and zeeeero action. “During Korea” is code for “I never actually left the country.”
Otherwise, you can guarantee we’d be hearing all about Fearless Jake Behind Enemy Lines.
“Hey, the army needed typists, too!”
June 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pmJake these ppl. are goofy , they think if we just leave iraq the war would end everything would be peaceful , they have not a clue
June 4th, 2007 at 10:52 pmI knew an older veteran who actually served in the Korean War. He was stationed at the Chosen dam and was almost killed by hordes of attacking Chinese troops. He was the only survivor of his squad.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:54 pmBREAKING: Wyoming Senator Craig Thomas has died, according to his family, The Associated Press reports. CNN working to confirm.

June 4th, 2007 at 10:55 pmThe BEST thing about MERCENARIES is that if they get TORTURED or KILLED, since they are not ACCOUNTABLE to the USA,
neither do we have to CARE about their DEMISE…
Just more SCUMBAGS who went for the BIG BUCKS and got the
June 4th, 2007 at 10:57 pmTORTURE and DEATH they DESERVED…

June 4th, 2007 at 10:58 pmYou are a pussy and a coward have never fought for anything and never will because it makes you sick to your stomach and other people keep you safe , the police , the military both die so that you can spew your liberal gibberish . your life is not worth it so please
do what your mother should have done abort yourself now.
Fox News confirms:

God bless his family and friends left behind.
June 4th, 2007 at 10:59 pmSo sorry to hear about Thomas. May he RIP.
Wyoming has a DEMOCRATIC governor.
Do THEY pick the replacement for the SENATOR???
June 4th, 2007 at 11:00 pmCrazy, they are.

Comment by Marie — June 4, 2007 @ 10:35 pm
I’m the fool around here, nuncle.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:05 pmSince we’re planning on being operational in Iraq for the next 50 years, you won’t actually see the start of real operations for about the next 40 years or so. By then, we’ll have instituted the draft, and fully occupied & pacified Iraq with a million or so Americans.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:05 pmWe are in the process of stealing a country. In desperation, because we and Putin are among the first to grasp the seriousness of the situation. We’re going to fail in at least the shortrun, for lack of heart. Iraq is not uor homeland. And anyway . . . . the term “homeland” is somewhat Nazi in its origin , isn’t it? Aren’t we just america?
June 4th, 2007 at 11:05 pmSo it looks like Wyoming Republicans get to choose a replacement for Sen. Thomas, so that would mean no change in the Senate.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:06 pmGov. Dave Freudenthal, a Democrat, will appoint a successor from one of three finalists chosen by the state Republican party.
Senator Thomas was married to Susan Thomas, a public school teacher for special needs students in Arlington, Virginia. They had four grown children.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:08 pmYup, the Governor DOES get to pick the Senator’s successor…
Now we can tell LIEberfuk to take a hike over to the Rapeublican TRAITOR side…
June 4th, 2007 at 11:08 pmI wrote it that way for emphasis, so no. Now, can you answer what exactly you are “president” of?

Though Jake and the other trolls don’t know it, this thread is about the perpetual war that has gotten it’s jump start in Iraq, not a Senator who has died, sadly as that may be.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:15 pmThe Governor has to pick a successor from a list of three compiled by the Republicans.

For the record, I already said my piece on the topic — if anyone NOT on the “Ignore List” wants to discuss that, I’m right here.

You mean it can get worse with more American troops exposed in unsupportable positions? Cause that’s what it’s been about so far.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:24 pmEargy EArp
would you rather this country be the unsupportable position ? and if it became that unsupportable position would you be willing for the military to fight here , which is against the constitution ? I don’t think that you would
June 4th, 2007 at 11:29 pmHarry, just keep hiding behind the bodies of all those dead American soldiers, you cowardly f***!
Pretty liberal with our soldiers lives aren’t you. Hey, maybe you should be President.
Here’s a newsflash……
The real Harry Truman made desicions to reduce the number of dead Americans, not to increase them.
Shameless Troll.

Comment by Harry Truman
I wasn’t in the military. You have a problem with me asking you those questions?
June 4th, 2007 at 11:37 pmJake,
I have a very close uncle who served in Korea (USMC) and he’s quite the historian. Reapectfully…could you give some details or your service? (i.e. branch, company, where served?) Uncle Bill loves to hear about fellow vets. Don’t think you two would get along too well when it comes to politics though- He believes that the constitution went out the window with the Patriot Act and that Bush should be removed from office.
BTW- I talked to a person today whose brother just returned from Iraq a couple of days ago. Says his brother is going to need a lot of help adjusting to life after war- just about lost it with the “camel” running the gas station yesterday- police involved. Fallujia (sp) was pretty rough on him I guess…combine that with seriously over-extended duty and one can understand how coping could be a problem. He also said his brother feels he fought for nothing but oil. When he wasn’t involved in operations he was guarding oil fields.

You go, girl.
June 4th, 2007 at 11:55 pmWeren’t we told that the increase in troops was supposed to be a surge. A surge is something that happens relatively quickly. Otherwise it is an escalation.
So what we have here is either: 1) we were lied to again when the White House propagandists called it a surge, or 2) Petraeus is incompetent by not executing the increase in troop levels as a real surge.

Hi, Harry Truman. Wayne A. Schneider here. I was a SSgt in the USAF, and from 1983 to 1988, I was stationed at Andrews AFB, Shemya AFB, and Ramstein AB in West Germany (as the car dealer said to Homer Simpson, “The country no longer exists.”) I was a Satellite Communications Equipment Systems Specialist (i.e., repairman).
Now that all that’s out of the way, would you mind doing me a favor and answering Zooey’s questions for me? I don’t think I need to repeat them for you.
Thank you very much.

You are an unbelieveable fool if you are among the 28% who keep believing this crap.
52% of REPUBLICANS in Iowa whink we should be out of Iraq in six months. That’s to the left of Democrats in Congress. Do the two nutjobs visiting us tonight think Republicans in Iowa are liberal socialist commies (contradictions)?

I believe that the terrorist want you and I dead . in a year and a half should obama or hillary get elected being it known by the terrorist that democrats have not the stomach to fight it may very well become real interesting in this country.
It’s fun to pull their chain though.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:24 am“You are a pussy and a coward have never fought for anything and never will because it makes you sick to your stomach and other people keep you safe”
Ok, Truman, you want to set up a time and date for your a$$-whooping. I will do it. A number of other guys on this site will do it. It is up to you.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:26 ampetraeus said “the surge has not truly reached the full number on the ground….” - i see - i thought this ’surge’ started 3 months ago? - so really it’s more of a dribble
June 5th, 2007 at 12:27 amRighties are nothing but cowards. No, Jakey, you have never served in combat (notice you never claimed you had). You guys love war…as long as you aren’t fighting.

June 5th, 2007 at 12:36 amkeith your goofy , if you will do a research you will find that harry truman was a conservative troll . FDR chose Harry Truman as V.P. because the democrat party was against our envolvement in WWII before Pearl Harbor .
check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman
He used executive orders to begin desegregation of the U.S. armed forces[4] and to launch a system of loyalty checks to remove thousands of Communist sympathizers from government office.[5] He did, however, strongly oppose mandatory loyalty oaths for governmental employees,[6] a stance that led to charges that his administration was soft on Communism.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:37 amSo….HST… you are for desegregation of the armed forces? You are against loyalty oaths?
June 5th, 2007 at 12:39 amJake, since no one believes you, I’m going to give you a chance to set the record straight, and I’ll go first.
I served in the 37th Signal Battalion, 12th Signal Group first in DaNang, then at I Corps HQ in Phu Bai. Danang from Feb 69 to Sept, and Phu Bai from Sept to Feb 70. ARCOM and Bronze Star to take home.
How bout your units and duty stations. That’ll get everyone off your back for good.

I hope no one is holding their breath. “Whoopsie, past Jake’s bedtime.”
June 5th, 2007 at 12:45 amNo, HST, I didn’t serve. That does not mean you are not a hypocrite. You are all for the war but you are sitting on your a$$ doing nothing. If you are so supportive of the war you need to join, you pathetic little wimp.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:47 amGoodnight Jake , Goodnight Demwits
June 5th, 2007 at 12:47 amHarry, if you are close to WI bring it. Otherwise I am sure there is someone close by that would be happy to whip your neocon a$$. Where are you Harry?
June 5th, 2007 at 12:48 amimpeach chaney then bush bring the troops home now so the terrorist will follow and kill all the liberals so we can fight and win this war
June 5th, 2007 at 12:49 amFDR chose Harry Truman as V.P. because the democrat party was against our envolvement in WWII before Pearl Harbor .
That’s fascinating, er Harry, because it was Nazi sympathizers, America First with Chuck Lindbergh and co, Prescott BUsh and Henry Ford who wanted to keep the US sidelined while they made money off Hitler.
And as for FDR selecting Truman, it appeasr more for his hard wortk behind the scenes against war profiteers. And how does Truman qualify as a conservative when his support for the New Deal was crucial and his own presidency tried to push through an extension, called the Fair Deal.
“Do some research” - or just make it all up, eh Mr Truman? Where does ‘the buck’ stop on that?
June 5th, 2007 at 12:50 amHarry, you sick f^ck. Why do you hate the troops? You want them to be magnets for death. You want the “terrorists” to attack them instead of your soft a$$. If it were up to you righties to fight a war we would never win. The Congo would beat our a$$es.
June 5th, 2007 at 12:55 amBy the way, Harry, what is envolvement and who is Chaney? Frickin moron.

You didn’t answer my questions or offer any proof of your assertions, so I will assume they are lies.
Goodnight!

Comment by Harry Truman
Irony piled on irony. I love it when the trolls spin into a frenzy.
Spin, troll, spin!
June 5th, 2007 at 1:01 amJPark you can tell when ol’ Harry is cutting and pasting and when he is ‘doing his own research’ - ‘evolvement…Chaney’ - doing his own research there.
Hey Joke, budget priorities on this thread: education - I think Harry Truman was ‘Left Behind’.
June 5th, 2007 at 1:02 amTer, is Harry Patrick? That guy knows how to cut and paste.
June 5th, 2007 at 1:08 am**Are we supposed to believe this story about the surge just like the ones about the stockpiles of WMD’s, the yellowcake from Africa, the aluminum tubes, the drones, the meeting in Prague, the mobile weapons labs, the shack in the north, the ties to al Qaeda, the heroics of Jessica lynch and Pat Tillman, the greeting like liberators, the war lasting certainly not 6 months, the cakewalk, the war costing $1.8 billion, the plaza named after Bush, the last throes, and the few deadenders?
You are an unbelieveable fool if you are among the 28% who keep believing this crap.
June 5th, 2007 at 1:53 am52% of REPUBLICANS in Iowa whink we should be out of Iraq in six months. That’s to the left of Democrats in Congress. Do the two nutjobs visiting us tonight think Republicans in Iowa are liberal socialist commies (contradictions)?*
It great to see a bunch of retarded liberal armchair general pussies bash real veterans and a real General like Petraeus who’s served his country with honor. Good night, bitches.
June 5th, 2007 at 4:56 amHere’s an even better article to educate you about Petraeus’ war record.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ news/ main.jhtml?xml=/ news/ 2004/ 06/ 27/ wirq227.xml
June 5th, 2007 at 6:01 amIf Petraeus says anything other than ‘we’re losing’, progressives will discount what he says. To be honest, if Bill Clinton, after meeting with any and all military experts on the subject, said anything other than ‘we’re losing’ progressives would also discount him. So, why say anything at all, it looks like you’ve had your minds made up for quite a while.
June 5th, 2007 at 6:51 amfour years and we’re just getting started, eh?
June 5th, 2007 at 6:57 amthis is the slowest “surge” evar
June 5th, 2007 at 7:27 amthe surge may be slow but the death and damage to our military is speeding up.
June 5th, 2007 at 8:53 amDeflect criticism into an indefinite future. It’s the Bush admin way.
“We have not yet begun to fight!”
Bullshit.
June 5th, 2007 at 9:00 amGeneral Betrayus is nothing more than another Bush toadie. He’s going to come to us in September and say that he has all his men on the ground now so he needs another 6 months to make the escalation successful. Everyone knows that it won’t be successful. There is no way military action in Iraq will ever be successful. Most of the generals who are free to talk (meaning they have retired from the military) are saying that there is no way to be successful in this occupation (it is NOT a war). Another one spoke out yesterday.
June 5th, 2007 at 9:20 amFor the record, I’ve repeated posted my Army record from the Korean War — it’s kinda off-topic here — but if anyone NOT on the “Ignore List” wants to discuss that again, let me know.
June 5th, 2007 at 9:35 amGeepers, American public didn’t you realize that we soldiers have just been ” P L A Y I N G ” RAMBO since Feb.
We as soldiers don’t mind being blown up, worked liked slaves, not eating 3 meals a day, not showering for 5 days, not sleeping for 3 days straight, picking up body parts of our best friends, having our time extended into hell and being held hostage by Peter Pan. Would you enjoy being treated like this?
“”"the last of five extra brigades had yet to be deployed.”"”
Don’t let “Westmoreland = Petraues” fool you, after they arrive it will be more of the same, just a lot more body bags coming home.
The real problem for us is that you have Peter Pan sitting at 1600 Penn Ave., who has no “reasoning’” skills.
The USA ethical route back from Iraq are direct concert flights for all concerned. Otherwise we will keep fighting and training these terrorists by “accident”. Resulting in the spread of radicals and skills around the globe. Is this the default mission?
June 5th, 2007 at 9:36 amharry truman should go back to reading history. the charges he makes against john kerry have been totally disproven, but truman remains in the past, following the lying swiftboaters.

Comment by Jake — June 5, 2007 @ 9:35 am
Your post is non-existent, Joke, I guess that must be your Korean War record……
June 5th, 2007 at 9:49 amapologies for previous multiple posts, but TP would not put it up, so I kept re-posting.
What would all these macho super-soldier patriotic trolls do if some country from the other side of the world invaded and occupied the USA—all based on a pack of lies? Would they sit peacefully in their homes for four and a half years or would they become an “insurgent”. I hope I would become an insurgent. The ones who attacked us on 9/11 are sitting in PAKISTAN. Iraq did nothing to us. Is this a difficult concept?
