Think Progress

Rep. Baird’s ‘real progress’ in Iraq.

On Friday, Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA), who recently returned from a trip to Iraq, wrote an op-ed in the Seattle Times arguing that withdrawal from Iraq “has the potential to turn the initial errors into an even greater problem just as success looks possible.” From the New York Times, an example of such “success“:

“That’s real progress,” Mr. Baird said, though he confessed he did not tell his wife about the region’s nickname, the triangle of death, and said the whole scene was a little surreal. “You have your flak jacket on, and your Kevlar helmet and you’re surrounded by guys with automatic weapons as you’re standing there, talking to the mayor. And you realize there’s a dusty old car next to you and you’re saying, ‘God, I hope that doesn’t blow up.’

  3. trueblue says:

    Wow. What safety there, Bairds!
    Just the other day I was looking at an old car in a parking lot and thought the same thing.
    Only, I was in America and it was just an old VW….
    but I totally get how the Iraqi people feel SO safe.

    /sarcasm


  4. Jim Wolf359 says:

    I hope he gets absolutley ROASTED at his upcoming Town Hall Meeting. ‘Initial errors into greater problems?” Rep. Baird, it is way beyond that point.
    Bring the Troops home. NOW!

    Hi, Zooey, how are things at TP today?


  9. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Slightly off topic but, if anyone has a few minutes you need to read Billy Kristol’s latest rumblings of a mad man in the Weekly Standard (talkingpointsmemo.com has the link for it). He’s trying to conflate opposition to the War in Iraq with Vietnam. Hint:Its our fault!


  10. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Ah yes, Frankie J with his always “insightful” comments. As in full of s**t.

    What happens if the left’s allies in Iraq lose?

    I am certain the congressmen who have recently visited Iraq can no longer play politics after looking into the eyes of the US and Iraqi soldiers and the Iraqi people who need their help.

    As for town meetings with liberal netrooters, I am sure they couldn’t care less about you basement dwelling mama’s boys, when the future of the Iraqis and the whole Middle East is at stake.

    Frank, lets put it this way. We’ve already lost. Thanks to the in-ept, corrupt, crimminal leadership in the Excecutive Branch, we now look like a bunch of Dammed Fools.
    All thats left for us to do now is to get out of Iraq with whatevewr dignity we have left and learn the lessons of this missbegotten and crimminal adventure.

  32. BairdisnowpariahwithinDemparty says:

    Here’s what Toilet Paper’s posting of even war critic Brian Baird’s admission of success in Iraq means: the progressives and liberal anti-Americans can no longer deny that Bush’s surge is working. They can also no longer deny (without being laughed at) that pulling out now means more misery for Iraqis and total US loss. They can also no longer deny (without being intellectually dishonest) that more good than bad is actually occurring in Iraq, thanks to the US military. TP realizes that they will look even more like idiots if they continue to live in their unrealistic bubble and not acknowledge that more and more Demoncrats and libs are admitting that Iraq’s turning around. Brian Baird, Carl Levin, Michael O’Hanlon–and all these converts just returned from Iraq in the last couple of weeks. Yup, for the progressives–who get off on nothing but beheadings and bombings from Iraq–it’s been a bad few weeks as they’ve been getting totally disproved.

It was Nixon’s Machivellian Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger who negotiated our withdrawl from Vietnam. It was Nixon whom drew down the Troopsa prior to that. It was Nixon and then Jerry Ford who hung Theiu and the South Vietnamese out to dry like so much Laundry for North Vietnam to take.

  71. Frank J says:

    I wouldn’t say it was a glorious surrender. This is the period of American history that the left loves. Bush pointed out how stupid they are to believe that and how they want to make the same mistake again.


  72. Jim Wolf359 says:

    And if someone did actually say it Frank then you can be damm sure he or she was not and does not speak for 99.9% of tne American Citizens. And certainly for no one here.


  73. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Frank, you claimed someone called it a “Glorious Surrender” Provide evidence or a link to such evidence. You can’t, can you Troll?

    What facts? Laughable. I haven’t change the subject. I’m talking about this sick ideology that is based on American defeat and bad news.

    Isn’t that a racist statement against Native Americans? Why can’t they be off the reservation? Are you scared of the “Redman”? Why should they stay on the reservation that your fore-fathers exiled them too?

    It was the Democrat Congress that cut off funding resulting in re-education camps and boat people. Bush was correct. I ask again why were you mad that Bush said the moonbat’s claim of a glorious surrender in Vietnam was a stupid thing to do?

    Comment by Frank J — August 25, 2007 @ 10:12 pm

    Robert McNamara writes that ” there is no evidence that the South Vietnamese would ever have been able to accomplish on their own what they failed to achieve with massive American assistance. The level of congressional funding was irrelevant … The Nixon administration, like the Johnson administration before it, could not give the South Vietnamese the essential ingredient for success: genuine indigenous political legitimacy.”[102]

    How’s that for an answer, Frank?

    Popularized by the Eisenhower administration[27], some argued that if communism spread unchecked, **it would follow them home by first reaching Hawaii and follow to the West Coast of the United States. It was better, therefore, to fight communism in Asia, rather than on American soil. **

    Sound familiar (we fight them over there…)???

    Thus, the Domino Theory provided a powerful motive for the American creation of a client state in southern Vietnam.[28] The theory underpinned American policy in Vietnam for five presidencies.[29] Another important motive was the preservation of U.S. credibility and prestige.

    And how about this little nugget of info???

    Ho Chi Minh’s guerrillas were given funding and training by *** the United States Office of Strategic Services (the precursor of the Central Intelligence Agency). ***

    Not again!!!!

    These teams worked behind enemy lines in Indochina, giving support to indigenous resistance groups. The Viet Minh provided valuable intelligence on Japanese troop movements and rescued downed American pilots.

    At home, a generation of Americans struggled to absorb the lessons of military intervention without clear motives or objectives.[108] As General Maxwell Taylor, one of the principal architects of the war noted “first, we didn’t know ourselves. We thought that we were going into another Korean war, but this was a different country.

    ** Secondly, we didn’t know our South Vietnamese allies … And we knew less about North Vietnam. Who was Ho Chi Minh? Nobody really knew. So, until we know the enemy and know our allies and know ourselves, we’d better keep out of this kind of dirty business. It’s very dangerous.”**

    Ouch, ouch, and ouch!!! Got anymore real questions, Frank?

    BTW, what’s a “moonbat”??


  86. Frank J says:

    How many Democrats voted against the Pelosi/Murtha surrender bill? I would say more than one.

    Then, of course, there’s the ridiculous term “Islamo-Fascism”. Fascism depends on Nationalism. The Mid-East doesn’t operate on Nationalism. No Nationalism=No Fascism.

    Also, applying the term “surrender” to the Vietnam debacle, or any conceivable outcome in Iraq, is simply inaccurate. People who surrender are, generally, disarmed and/or held prisoner. Heck! Even if we wanted to surrender there’s isn’t anyone to receive it.

    They’ll ban his clueless *ss for good, one of these days. What a classless dolt. Clearly, he has no meaningful statements on politics to make.

    He’s an f-in’ FRAUD!!!!


  117. RUCerious says:

    Baird is a blue dog Dem, fooled into thinking all things surgent are just ducky.
    He won’t be coming back to Congress after Nov 08, he should be polishing his resume.


  118. pete says:

    And it’s quite insane. Completely bat-sh!t crazy!


  119. Jim Wolf359 says:

    I hope you’re right ROS. He’s clueless and classless. Course he does have a lot of company in the other trolls.


  120. RUCerious says:

    I see the ARCH!bishop of Urine is at it again.
    What a dolt.

    “… And you realize there’s a dusty old car next to you and you’re saying, ‘God, I hope that doesn’t blow up.”"

    Oh yeah, the surge is working!!!


  122. upside00 says:

    RoS,

    He goes into these rants all the time and gets banned, then is back and gets even more juvenile. Maybe we can eventually get him back in his remedial psych program soon,


  123. Jim Wolf359 says:

    I wonder why Baird did the 180 that he did. This seemed to come out of the blue. Completley surprised me.


  124. upside00 says:

    Where did Frank go? Did he get tired of having his ass handed to him?

    Comment by pete — August 25, 2007 @ 11:12 pm

    No f-in’ sh*t!!!

    You’d think KKKarl would fire him for making all the rightie trolls look even nuttier than they are. They must be down to nickels and dimes in the till, if this is the best they can put on the Net…

    This is gittin’ sadder by the day!!!

    I say we give them a chance to explain themself. I realize that there are some who are just attention getters and such but manners says the chance to explain themselves should be offered.

    Or flat-out committed, before he hurts himself.


  129. ccokz says:

    I think thru this apocalyptic perspective on old cars it becomes immediately clear why Iraq is a success at the moment: its probably less probable that houses blow up. They just blow up thru cars crashing into them.

    Or whatever the author wanted to tell us with this interesting perspective on old Iraqi cars.

    The Blue Dog Dems seem to sit on the fence a lot and then decide which way to lean…..with the wind. Doesn’t seem to be a lot of moral conviction there in m y opinion.

    Comment by dbadass — August 25, 2007 @ 11:16 pm

    I give them that chance over and over again. Shuts them up every time, seeing as most of them have no coherent position to state! ;-D!!!

    I didn’t think you would. It takes a grown woman to apologize, but you are still a child, mentally, morally, and emotionally!

    Your art seems a bit simplistic but the way you vary the use of the horizontal as well as vertical is so unique. I sort of liked your Cheney Crosses period a bit more.


  135. Jim Wolf359 says:

    I just e-mailed TP about Makarios. He has got to go. I want him banned from here.


  136. upside00 says:

    Guess mr. p has lost what little grasp on reality he had. Too bad his behavior is so pathetic. Might be cute in a 7 year old.


  137. pete says:

    Annoying? Definitely. But it reminds us of what needs to be fixed.


  138. JPV says:

    There REALLY needs to be some moderators on this site. Perhaps some regulars can volunteer. With some well thought out guidelines, this could be very effective.

    I’m totally against censorship, but there is a world of difference between debating opposing views, and being called a “moonbat” or terrorist sympathizer.

    Seriously folks.


  139. upside00 says:

    Comment by Pete

    Just shows how starved for attention he is. Guess his mom didn’t breast feed him long enough and the chicks in Virginia have enough class to give his sorry ass a wide berth.

    Hope he doesn’t go Postal on his campus. That would be REALLY sick!


  140. pete says:

    I doubt that it poses any real danger. Heck, someone would have to take a wall down and use a forklift to get it out of the basement.


  141. upside00 says:

    Or maybe he is in the school library computer lab, wanking on 6 machines at once!


  142. upside00 says:

    Later! Had a long tough bike ride and need some sleep. Hang in there, but he may go like this til early in the morning, when the Mountain Dew and meth high wears off.

    Careful what you wish for. That also means no excessive nastiness towards them. Maybe there is a middle ground. Clearly some behaviors here tonight show that your concerns are valid but how can you get people to employ the manners they where taught without risking stiffling the voices of those with legitimate differences of opinion?

    AMERICA WINS!!!

    Comment by Makarios

    Wins what?

    We have already lost.. lost our dignity, respect… we are now one of the most hated terrorist nations in the eyes of others… what kind of a coward does the US look like in front of the world? I can not get past the Shock and Awe, dropping 4000 bombs in two days over Baghdad a population half of which were children under the age of 16… while the MSM entertained the masses with this and while the Bush thugs gleefully, with much enthusiasm explained this to us…The worse part is THEY KNEW IT WAS OVER LIES…. cold blod murder….
    So, Markarios you tell all of us what we are winning.

    Comment by Makarios

    You’re just parroting what Juan said about you or CT once. It’s all you know. You parrot your philosophers, without any understanding of what they’re trying to teach you. You parrot Ralph, for who knows what reason. And you parrot TP commenters.

    I accept the consequences of failing to apologize to you.

    You owe everyone on this blog an apology for your behavior since you showed up here, and especially for your behavior this evening.

    We do you think we trashed your blog? You deserved it.

    ———–

    I link to a a youtube video of Clipse (colored performers) saying that they are Virginia Gentlemen, and pete says ” They call rabid pets “gentlemen” in Virginia? No wonder the South fell.”

    And you DON’T find that racist!!!!!!


  164. Makarios says:

    You’re nothing compared to the NewsHounds libs.

  165. pete says:

    I think that it is pretty obvious I called Mr. Pus a rabid pet. And I would never click a link provided by a troll. They might lead to dirty sites, rife with disease, just like trolls.


  166. Makarios says:

    Comment by pete — August 26, 2007 @ 12:06 am

    Why didn’t you explain that earlier?

    I call BS on YOU, racist!


  167. dbadass says:

    Im with Zooey. You need to back up a bit. After you make the meaningful case for yourself you can argue your opinions as you wish but you need some cred first it seems.


  168. Jim Wolf359 says:

    Makarios, do you know the definition of CONTEXT? And how Pete was actually usuing that pharse? Think about it for a few minutes. It’ll come to you.


  169. pete says:

    I’m not in the habit of explaining myself to sick animals. However, I thought that the humans here might appreciate clarification.

    You’re full of it!

    Now you are claiming that you were only talking about me, but you clearly said “they” and “pets” in your original statement!

    They call rabid pets “gentlemen” in Virginia?”


  173. dbadass says:

    Pete has honor. There was no racist intent evident to me. Electronic text can be misleading but I’ll put my dollars behind Pete’s hand before some others.


  174. Makarios says:

    Comment by dbadass — August 26, 2007 @ 12:13 am

    It doesn’t matter what you think, it’s on record, pete is a confirmed racist.


  175. Juan C says:

    Trolls have zero credibility. I dont know whats all the fuzz about pete´s comments.


  176. pete says:

    Umm… Zooey… you don’t understand algebra…

    Just sayin’


  179. pete says:

    Mr. Pus called itself a “Virginia Gentleman”. I felt they need to opine on that. I called YOU, Mr. Pus, a rabid pet. Though why anyone would keep such a pet is beyond my understanding.

    Again, folks. Zero credibility for someone posting Saudis are not Muslims and not even knowing Newton´s classical postulation of mechanics.

    Comment by Makarios — August 26, 2007 @ 12:15 am

    Ah but it does as what and how we think defines who we are. Who we are defines our status in the group. Group status reinforces what and how we think. It’s complicated but I suggest you reflect a bit on where you fit in to your group.

    Hey, idiot. “Tully” is the nickname for M. Tullius Ciceronis. The passage you cited was taken from his Tusculan Disputations, where he describes the Tomb of Archimedes.

    If I follow yu are saying that just my thoughts don’t matter. As they are that which define me, are you saying I do not exist? If so do you cease to exist when I negate your thoughts?


  191. Makarios says:

    Comment by dbadass — August 26, 2007 @ 12:31 am

    I apologize to you, dbadass. You do exist, and, to some degree, you matter.

    Well, that’s enough fun for one night. Good night humans. You to Mr. Pus.


  193. Gregor Samsa says:

    Mr. P/Makarios/Frank J/Dr. Dog outraged because of someone’s supposed racist comment? After all the Arabophobic, Islamophobic rantshe has treated us to, under his many aliases?

    What a phony and hypocrite.

    On topic,

    The Bush administration has managed to set the bar so low, that the smallest dip in the daily carnage Iraq has become is hailed as an astounding success.

    Let’s not forget: No WMDs, no ties to AlQaeda, no nuclear program, and not even democracy in Iraq anymore now.

    With every single prediction turned to naught, I see very little point in giving the Bush cheerleaders any credibility regarding Iraq, or anything else for that matter.


  194. Zooey says:

    Goodnight, pete.

    Pee had no luck smearing you, in my opinion.


  195. Juan C says:

    Heh. Makarena is a dumbass.

    Comment by Zooey

    It is really difficult to understand why… Heh.

    Im going to sleep. I have practice tomorrow morning.

    See ya later. It was fun.


  196. Juan C says:

    They are debunking all of the moonbat 9-1-1 conspiracy theories!!!

    Maybe next show they will discover WMDs in Iraq.

    Absolutely true. I am scratching my head as to what could be going on in his head.

    Baird even starts his op-ed piece with “The invasion of Iraq may be one of the worst foreign-policy mistakes in the history of our nation.”

    Why would anyone under any circumstance stick to what is obviously an utterly failed policy is beyond me. If the current course has failed to produce any observable improvement in Iraq in four years, it is anyone’s guess how a relatively small “surge” can accomplish it.

    Maybe Baird simply wants to believe, desperately, that this “surge” will succeed -however he chooses to define “success”. He is in for a big disappointment, methinks.

  267. curmudgeon says:

    How about this for a novel approach to the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan?

    1 — Since most people in this country haven’t sacrificed anything yet(in fact, the only change for the extremely wealthy has been to figure out what to do with the windfall from their outsized tax cuts), the least Congress and Bush could do is restore December, 2000 tax rates.

    2 — Rather than hiding the financial costs of the war by keeping it off-budget and borrowing money the finance it, the Administration should show that they aren’t complete cowards and adopt a “pay-as-you-go plan.” If restoring tax rates to pre-January, 2001 levels isn’t enough to cover the costs of the war, then a bill (with the purpose clearly marked on it) can be mailed to all tax payers for their proportional share of the costs so we don’t keep adding to our national debt. For all the crying about the “death tax”, where is the concern about the “birth tax”, since every child who is born in this country inherits a debt of nearly $30,000 before they even take their first breath?

    3 — In addition, unless the United States is in Iraq purely for its own interests (which should be clearly articulated if that’s the case), then why not arrange for another election in Iraq, financed by the United States, and run by a neutral international agency? Let’s allow the Iraqi people an “up or down vote.” If the majority vote for the U.S. to stay, then maintain the status quo. However, if they vote for the U. S. to leave, then this country will honor their wishes as expeditiously as possible.

    What say you, trolls?

    Democrat Jerry Springer was elected to Cincinnati’s city council in 1971, when he was just 27 years old. He proved to be a popular and idealistic politician, though his rising political career stalled briefly when he was caught having paid a prostitute — with a personal check.

  270. Tobey Tall says:

    Rep. Baird’s ‘real progress’ in Iraq. AND THAT IS

    At the beginning of July, 23 out of the 37 members of the Iraqi cabinet voted to approve a draft oil law, sending it to parliament for approval.The minister of planning announced that he would resign if the bill passes, while a member of the parliament’s energy sub-committee didn’t wait and resigned immediately. Many other MPs expressed misgivings but, dependent on massive US military support, a government that barely governs the few square miles of the Baghdad ‘green zone’ plans to tie up Iraq’s most valuable national resources in contracts that run for decades.


  271. Tobey Tall says:

    America divided over Iraq surge

    Clinton and Obama say that new tactics are showing signs of working

    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,2156359,00.html


  272. Badger says:

    The “surge” is an inexact term. There are at least two aspects of it.
    1. An increase in the number of troops.
    2. A change in the Tactics and Strategy employed by the troops.
    The number of troops is Unsustainable. In April, the number of troops will be reduced because recruiting and training goals have not been met. Not enough people are volunteering for this all volunteer military.
    Almost everyone agrees that the change in Tactics makes sense. Gen. Petraeus has seen what we were doing wrong ( for FOUR YEARS) and has taken steps to fix it. In my opinion ,i f Petreaus and Defense Sec. Gates had been in charge of war planning from the beginning, we would not be in as big a mess as we are now.
    The question now is…is it too little too late. A strategy for democracy ,with the mistreated Shiites in the Majority, seems flawed from the start.
    The mission in Iraq keeps changing. Perhaps our only chance of “victory” is to change the mission to fit the situation, instead of changing the situation to fit the mission.

    Suspected terrorists need not be afforded Geneva Convention rights. They are not uniformed members of the military from recognized nations.

    Since they are not covered under the Geneva Convention, there can be no “abuses”.

    Better yet, lets just turn them over to friendly nations in the area for interrogation. I’m sure their fellow moslems will treat them better than us, right?

    Congressman, Rep. Brian Baird, is holding a Town Hall meeting on Monday. Now is the opportunity to express your concern about his recent comments on Iraq.

    Last March, Rep. Baird voted with the Democrats to force Bush to bring our troops home. Now he says he’ll oppose timelines to bring our troops home from the unwinnable civil war in Iraq.

    The statement is true, which can be easily determined by reading the words of the folks posting here over a short period of time.

    There can only be two choices: Either the far-left despises their own country, as indicated by their very words, or they are simply lying to get attention. So, in short, they are either traitors, or liars.

    And if someone from outside the U.S. is preaching U.S. economic collapse, and wishing death to our fellow U.S. citizens, then that makes them part of the terrorist enemy, doesn’t it?

    Either way, they should be handled accordingly.

    Furthermore, George Dubya has caused no worldwide terror. To his credit, he has taken part, with other nations, in fighting terror worldwide. And successfully, I might add.

    The problem is that the smackdowns & troll responses go through like butter while the content gets stopped. So you end up with long threads of insults like this one. It would make more sense to ban the trolls, or at a minimum ignore them, remove their garbage & have smaller threads with actual on-topic conversations. As it is now it’s not worth stating/supporting an opinion.

    btw, ever notice how on this site the initial article is usually a supported statement on something that has happened… the libs respond either favorably regarding that topic or add more links/support to what is being said, while the reps simply attack the messenger(s). Rather then mount an argument & support it they just attack those that disagree with them. That’s the first sign of being on the losing end of an issue.

    If Baird and the other sheep (my apologies to our woolly friends) in Congress have decided to “allow” the troops more time, how about allowing the troops who are already stationed there an “up or down” vote as to whether they stay or leave?

    If the intent is to support the U. S. military in Iraq & Afghanistan, this would be the least the warmongers in Congress & the White House could do.


  298. curmudgeon says:

    So was this another ten to fourteen hour stay in the most heavily fortified areas of Iraq?

    Since Iraq is just slightly larger in land area than California, and has a slightly larger population than Texas, then perhaps an extended layover at LAX or DFW would be sufficient for the frustrated traveler to submit a definitive, detailed statement about the current conditions of that entire state.

    The only difference is, you could venture out into the countryside on your own in either state and have a reasonably good chance of returning alive.

    You don’t pay for sex brassmask, because no one would except even money from a loser like you, of course unless they are a repukian male hooker like Jeffy poo.

    Brian Baird is my rep and usually is right on target. He’s having town meetings tonight and tomorrow. I’m unable to attend tonight so will be traveling down the road to one tomorrow.

    I’ll be pointing out to him that the surge is only working where the ethnic cleansing has already been successful such as Bagdad, previously 65% Sunni, now 75% Shia. I’ll also ask him where he’s planning on getting the troops and if he’ll call for a draft.

    How much longer can we surge? Its a question he needs to answer. General Pace says no longer, we don’t have the troops.
