67 percent:

Number of citizens around the world who “think US-led forces should leave Iraq within a year, according to a BBC World Service poll of 23,000 people across 22 countries. Just one in four (23%) think foreign troops should remain in Iraq until security improves.”

    Because he is the Codpiece Commander Guy and works for NeoCon Corporation, not the US citizens. Guess you kinda forgot that, huh?


  4. Jake D. says:

    23% of 6 billion ain’t bad.


  5. Marie says:

    No matter. The decider has decided. We’re there forever, like it or not.
    The man fires or disregards anyone and everyone who disagrees with him — as for the public opinion, his attitude is “I don’t care.”

    He even is on record as saying that as a civilian, he isn’t taking any instruction from a military man — this despite months of stating he and we should await the “Petraeus report.” This, despite that Petraeus is his fall guy.
    There is a madman in the White House and no one is doing anything about it.

    4.4 billion smart, informed people. Too bad one ignorant moron thinks he’s “The Decider.”

    Georgie: In the case of U.S. policy, the American people are The Deciders. This will become painfully clear for the Republicans in the 2008 elections. It will make the public spanking the Republicans took in 2006 look like a pancake breakfast.


  8. Duque de Alva says:

    In agree we should leave Iraq, b ut screw the world.
    We should withdarw from everywhere and mind our business!
    Onlt the Stalinist Left cares what Muslims and Chinese think.
    As for Europe, they have their own problems.
    Honestly, who cares about this!


  9. Marie says:

    #7 Snidely,
    I can only hope the Dems win in 2008 but they are sure doing all they can to enable Bush to dump all the mess in their laps.
    They must know the majority f the country is damanding that they take charge, yet they are bullied into submission by the White House.
    IF the Dems win the White House in 2008, I will have great sympathy for the person, there will be a mess of crap on the front lawn, and everyone will be criticizing the way in which the shit is cleaned up.

  15. Jay Randal says:

    Yeah, but Bush butt will not pull the troops out as long as he is President, nor will Hillary Clinton as President pull them out. It’s all about Iraq’s OIL, so the entire American citizenry are being screwed over, so Petroleum Cartel CEOs can make more profits.

    So you are an isolationist. Do you really think that this country could survive on it’s own without dealing with the rest of the world? Where would we get our consumer goods? Certainly not from the United States since our manufacturing base has shrunk to next to nothing.


  21. Tweedster says:

    Duque, care to define Stalinist? Or is that just your insult of the day?

    Aside from the fact that what happens in Iraq has worlwide implications, and the fact that we happen to share the planet with the Muslims (a religion, not a nation) and the Chinese (one of our biggest trading “partners”), and our standing in the international community does have importance. As demonstrated by the incompetent and dangerous planning that has gotten us into Iraq, we cannot hope to force countries to bend to our whims. We need to operate with some measure of consensus and build allegiances with other nations – not destroy them.

    You’re obviously too ignorant and short-sighted to acknowledge this, and the fact that you think we can just pull out of everywhere and mind our own business is laughable. BTW, “our” businesses operate in every corner of the globe – and do you think that they will sacrifice profits to “withdraw” into an isolationist America? That notion seems really anti-capitalist…are you the Stalinist you speak of?

    Get real.


  22. Duque de Alva says:

    Why do you Leftards want America to come under UN control?
    You guys are a bunch of traitors!

    You got that right. Coming down off a meth night is hell on wheels.


  26. Duque de Alva says:

    Tweedster,
    You’re a Stalinist.
    Stalists belive in an Internation order and one world government.

    The American companies you speak of are traitors.
    They view themselves as global not America.
    America if we withdraw from the world will lead to a collapse of the Internation system.
    Coutries will fight each other.
    Thus forcing companies to withdarw to safe havens.
    Thus America can become self-reliant.
    Why do you Leftists want a global system?
    Hmm?
    Why are you all traitors?


  27. Tweedster says:

    Anyone claiming the title of Duke really has no place weighing in on anything other than issues regarding inbred nobility.


  28. hellinabucket says:

    #9. FDR had a big mess left by Hoover and he cleaned it up. The current mess will be huge so true vision is needed to get thru. The republicans (with the exception of Paul) have the same fumbling ideas as the current occupier of the WH but there needs to be a clearer voice from the other side to not only open the eyes of us all, but to show there is a better way.

    I don’t know who that is right now.


  29. toasterhead says:

    Other countries do what they want.

    Unless we’ve bribed/threatened their leaders to do what we want. Or at least what our corporations want.

    It’s only you Leftists that care what foreigners think.

    I’m pretty sure there are a large number of conservatives in the import/export and international finance businesses who would disagree with you.

    We should withdarw from the global system and let the rest of the worlf fall into anarchy!

    How would this help the U.S. economy and security, exactly?

    Since you care so much about global opinion, leave America traitor!

    Hmm. No. No, I think I’ll stay in the country I love and try and make it better. Thanks!

    bilbo,
    “Do you really think that this country could survive on it’s own without dealing with the rest of the world? Where would we get our consumer goods? Certainly not from the United States since our manufacturing base has shrunk to next to nothing.”

    It would be painful at 1st, but America can become self-reliant.
    We can rebuild our Industrial base if we have to.
    We can develope alternative energy if we have to.
    What prevents us is the greed of the Traitorous Corporations and Leftists that believe in a Gloabal Village system.

    If we mind our business no more war.
    If an Isolationist political party were to form, it would win in a landslide


  34. Tweedster says:

    When did I claim to support one world government?

    Wait, I didn’t. Then again, problems of complexity could never hope to be solved by someone with your simplistic view of reality.

    Do you even know how and why these traitorous companies have been able to dessert America for lands with no labor regulations and lower taxes? The actions and policies of the United States government!

    You aren’t even coherent Dookie. GO back to your duchy already.

    If an Isolationist/Nationalist government was in charge they would get away with it.

    Many of the CEO’s of these Traitor corporations are Leftists.
    They are enabling a globalist system by using capitalistiuc means to achieve Stalist ends!


  41. Duque de Alva says:

    You Leftists are hypocrites.
    You’re anti-War but want to get into the world’s business.
    If we withdarw from everywhere and leave the UN we won’t have war.

    I tried to read this but it made absolutely no sense.

    Bush doesn’t listen to the world, US citizens, generals or soldiers. And he still thinks the “future will be kind to him”. He better move into his library where he can surround himself with the false history of his failed presidency.

    Really? You don’t actually believe the crap you’re spewing here do you? Somehow the US having a presence in various parts of the globe and being a member of the UN is responsible for the world conflicts?

    You’re an idiot, Joker or not.


  46. Tweedster says:

    Dookie, from the sounds of it, it seems like you advocate the withdrawal from Iraq, meaning you are in complete agreement with 67% of the world’s population.

    Wow, I’ve wasted maybe 15 minutes trying to debate a simpleton.

    Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction at 7 p.m. local time. He had been on the lam for almost two days after failing to appear in a Redwood City courtroom Wednesday to surrender his passport.


  50. Tweedster says:

    Is anyone actually surprised by anything anymore? Bush needs to remain steadfast in his denial of the situation until he and his cronies in Big Oil and Defense have looted our coffers for all they can grab. U.S. opinion is irrelevant to him, and the world opinion is something he hasn’t pretended to care about ever.

    We should mind our business and take iof ourselves.

    Not too many things in life can truly offend me, but you’re hastely approaching my tolerence threshold.
    Suffice it to say, his “kid” has loving parents that will take care of him. Only in your deranged sense of reality do you consider his condition “deformed”! I can only wish that you’d received a fraction of his parental love and care, so you wouldn’t be so darned bitter, angry and lonely.
    Now, care to actually discuss the topic set forth via thread, or is you abnormally small brain not able to process such a request?


  69. Tweedster says:

    Dookie – Your attempts at “reform” is pretty pathetic as they’ve gotten nowhere. Why don’t you get off of TP and begin constructing your platform and mission statement and recruit members for your isolationist party. It shouldn’t be tough, considering you predict a landslide victory.

    When you fail at that you’ll always have someone else to blame…just like you do on this thread.

    Comment by Jake D

    You thought that? Really? “Ignore Lists” are for those (say for example…Joker) who intentionally derail the thread (aka Troll) in order to discuss something other than the topic of the thread (this one happens to be about 67% of the world’s pop. wanting the US out of Iraq).
    Usually (in Joker’s case anyway) by attacking poster’s personally, their children, their handicapped children (see? they really have no moral fiber) or just posting incredibly stupid things such as (in the case of Mr. P) “HEYYYYYYOOOOOO” over and over, ad nauseum.

    So no, Jake. Ignore lists are definitely not for sissies….oh wait, unless you meant those ON the ignore lists are the sissies for refusing to discuss the topic’s at hand or even be relatively civil in a public forum. Is that what you meant? My bad.

    DemoKK-Rat Toy Soldier,
    Americans will not be upset at Jeans made in America!
    Americans will not be upset at Helpdesk based in America speaking proper English.
    Americans will love having safe toys made in America!
    Our wages will be higher and the econmy booming by having manufacturing and IT in America.

    I see you have a Leftist Elistist Globalist mindset.

    You’re a traitor that you’d prefer to have American Jobs done overseas.
    Thanks for proving my point toy soldier!


  89. Jake D. says:

    Good, I’m glad to know that “Ignore Lists” are not for sissies anymore . . .


  90. Hillary Whacked Vince says:

    No matter who Bush went to war with, the left would oppose it. If we actually did invade Packistan to get your boy Bin Laden, you would be against it. If we invaded the Saudis, you would oppose it.

    The left hates war even if it means protecting America and her interests. You people should be tried and executed for treason. Public hanging for those who aid and comfort our enemy.

    We could get Hillary to take you all to Ft Marcey Park.


  91. The Joker says:

    So as we see DemoKKK-Rat Boy Scout supports outsourcing our jobs to India and China.

    What jobs will e left for Americans traitor?


  92. Democrat Soldier says:

    Pres. Bush killed William H. Lash III!

    It’s true! William H. Lash III supposedly “shot himself”, but we all know that Pres. Bush ordered his assassination!

    See! I can pretend to be as nutty as Poster #87 oviously is! ;-)

    SGT Higgins,
    Why not a poll asking the world whether China should get out of Tibet?
    Like a true Leftist you care about the Global village crap.
    If your a real soldier, not a paper pusher you should care only about America.
    Not the Global Village!

    You might want to ask your savior Pres. Bush that questions. Seems he’s hemorrhaging jobs about as fast as he did in 2001, despite how much his “tax cuts helped the economy” (or so the lie goes).

    Los Latinos original? Ellos fue los Romanos – mis antepasados, porque soy italiano. Pero nosotros somos muy abundantes, y somos felices compartir el nombre “Latino” con nuestros amigos en América latina. (Entonces, eres agradable para la palabra “América” también).


  98. Joker says:

    DemoKKK-Rat Boy Scout,
    I’m not a Bush Supporter and only believe in Tax Cuts for those under $100,000.
    However tax cuts had no negative or positive effects on the economy.
    The problem is globalization ans a Free trade policy pursued by bothe DemoKKK-Rats and RepubliKKKans over the last 40 years.

    The Chickens are coming home to roost!

    America must go back to self-Reliance and Isolation!


  99. toasterhead says:

    Hey how about China’s occupation of Tibet?
    Why no Leftist outrage over that?
    Hypocrisy!

    Comment by Duque de Alva — September 7, 2007 @ 11:05 am

    I’ve expressed outrage over that many times, my Latino friend. As well as China’s occupation of East Turkestan.


  100. SGT Higgins says:

    SGT Higgins,
    Why not a poll asking the world whether China should get out of Tibet? —– Why the F*ck are you asking me, “Why not a poll…”? Stick to the topic.

    Like a true Leftist you care about the Global village crap. —– I’m a Republican, just not a wingnut. And I happen to agree with, oh say, roughly 67% of the ‘Global Village’ as you so afectionately refer to it.

    If your a real soldier, not a paper pusher — We’re all ‘real’ Soldiers…even those of us who push paper.

    you should care only about America. — That’s pretty narrow-minded, even for you.

    Not the Global Village! –Hey, my kids, and grandkids gotta live on this rock well after I’m gone.

    Toasterhead,
    Ok you’re an Italian who knows your Latin.
    Good.
    You just won points in book!
    That means your a real Italian.

    However there are Leftists on this board who denied Italians are Latin.
    Why is that?


  102. The Joker says:

    SGT Higgins,
    I’m not a Republican so you’re on my target too.
    If you’re a Republican why do you post on this website full of Stalinists, America Haters and Muslim lovers?

    Also the only poll I care about is the one where Americans want out of Iraq!
    I don’t care what the rest of the world think?
    They’re manipulated by the Global Leftist Press.
    Hence no condemnation of China’s occupation of Tibet and or Russia’s genocide in Chechnya.

    Comment by The Joker — September 7, 2007 @ 11:22 am

    Yes – your twisted logic has successfulyl convinced me that not only am I Latin, but I’m also Latino. Not just because of my Italian heritage, but because I’m married into a Cuban family. If that doesn’t make me Latino by osmosis, I’ll have you know that I can also merengue (not that that’s hard), cook some mean picadillo y maduros, AND I’m chronically late for everything.

    Thanks to you, I have fully embraced my adoptive Latino heritage and wear it with pride.


  105. Jason M. Hendler says:

    Again, this question is asked without the appropriate qualifiers. I challenge the liberal media to ask the question:

    Should US forces pull out of Iraq within the next year, if it would result in Iraq collapsing into genocidal civil war and emerging as a haven to Islamo-fascist terrorists?

    I am certain the polls would NOT show support for that. These days, since Bush himself has now seen enough progress to speculate there will be troop withdrawals in the future, it is no act of political courage to call for troop withdrawal, as witnessed by Bubba Clinton finally voicing an opinion, now that the writing is on the wall.

    What, you haven’t seen the bumperstickers?

    That’s how Lefties express their outrage….They don’t actually do anything to Free Tibet, they just express their moral vanity through their bumperstickers.

    Remember, for most Lefties, it’s all really about making themselves feel superior.

    The people of Tibet are merely props in that fantasy.


  108. barfly says:

    “Should US forces pull out of Iraq within the next year, if it would result in Iraq collapsing into genocidal civil war and emerging as a haven to Islamo-fascist terrorists?”

    As opposed to the Mesopotamian Wonderland that will soon arise from the current civil war being refereed by American forces.


  109. barfly says:

    “Remember, for most Lefties, it’s all really about making themselves feel superior.”

    And for righties, its all about scaring you so badly you soil yourself. Ted Nugent is the perfect feces-caked mascot for you guys.


  110. The Joker says:

    “Thanks to you, I have fully embraced my adoptive Latino heritage and wear it with pride.”

    Well Latino is the Spanish/ITalian word for Latin so you are Latino just being an Italian.
    Either way glad to have you re-embrace your Latin heritage.
    Welcome back Hermano Italiano!

    Hopefully more Italian-Americans re-embrace their Latin culture and reject the Anglo-Celtic culture imposed on them.

    and Us Hipanics and Italians can stand as a united Latin/Latino Community!


  111. toasterhead says:

    Comment by Jason M. Hendler — September 7, 2007 @ 11:34 am

    Wow, that’s not a loaded question or anything.

    Let’s see the Liberal Media tackle these gems as well:

    Should the Democrat Congress pass a minimum wage raise that also mandates the killing of every baby under 18 months by stuffing them in a blender?

    Should Congress ban warrentless wiretapping, but only in cases where the suspects are confirmed members of a terrorist cell and attack is already in progress and they have already kidnapped a school bus full of children?

    Should the government build a fence to stop illegal immigration, but build the fence entirely out of a paste made from ground-up bald eagles, spotted owls, and polar bears? What if we add some puppies and kittens?

    Should the government stop global warming, if it is determined by a panel of scientists that the only way to stop global warming is to punch you repeatedly in the face?

    Yup – those poll results will truly show where the world’s sentiments lie!


  112. barfly says:

    “That’s how Lefties express their outrage….They don’t actually do anything to Free Tibet, they just express their moral vanity through their bumperstickers.”

    Like what? Attacking China militarily, boob? That worked so well in Iraq.

    I would wager that most of the care packages and donations that our troops receive come from conservatives. I would also bet that the majority of donations to help Iraqi children also come from conservatives.

    In fact, we already know that Republicans give more to charity than do Democrats…..probably because Republicans see charity as an individual responsibility where Democrats see it as the job of the government.

    Exactly my point. They will send a GI a toothbrush but demand till the ends of the earth that the GI must stay there and die for whatever because someone told them some bad things and the world is scary.

    And please link that data you have on Cons being more charitable to the GIs. Otherwise, stuff it.

    A recent poll in the US found that 40% want all troops brought home next year and 26% want our troop levels decreased by next year. So it looks like the entire world agrees that we should get the hell out of Iraq. But, of course, the entire world is wrong and Bush is right.

Remember, everyone, there’s really no arguing with an hysterical moron like the Duke. He’s got nothing but racist bile and hate to offer and his goal is to derail any meaningful discussion around here. Get it? Let’s just ignore the hysterical duke.
