Graham: We’re ‘Kicking Ass’ In Iraq, Political Reconciliation Likely ‘Within Weeks’
Graham: We’re ‘Kicking Ass’ In Iraq, Political Reconciliation Likely ‘Within Weeks’
Yesterday, prominent Iraq war proponents were featured at a panel at the American Enterprise Institute, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a vocal supporter of President Bush’s escalation.
Graham cheerfully explained that in his eight visits to Iraq, he has never come back as optimistic as after his most recent one. Graham claimed political reconciliation is on the horizon and is now “all over the country.”
Within the next weeks, not months, there will be a major breakthrough on the benchmarks regarding political reconciliation. And after the last two weeks of being a reservist, you could see Sunnis and Shia and Kurds taking a second look at Iraq.
Watch a compilation of Graham’s remarks:
Using lofty phrases like “the surge has worked” and “the people are war weary,” Graham conveniently dodged empirical evidence to back up his assertion of reconciliation at “breakneck speed.”
Graham has placed himself at odds with every observer — including the Bush administration — of the Iraq war, all of whom see little to no political progress in Iraq:
Gen. Petraeus: “[T]angible political progress…has not worked out as we had hoped.” [9/7/07]
White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten: “[D]isappointment is the right word for…the Iraqi federal government.” [9/5/07]
Government Accountability Office: Iraqi government “has met only one of eight political benchmarks.” [9/4/07]
Congressional Research Service: “[T]he Iraqi government is in essential collapse.” [9/6/07]
National Intelligence Estimate: The government “will become more precarious over the next six to 12 months.” [8/23/07]
With Shi’as composing 75 percent of Baghdad today and 85 percent of the Iraqi national police, there is no near prospect for political reconciliation.
Despite these realities, Graham concluded his remarks at AEI — to loud applause — proclaiming that the United States is “kicking their ass,” a statement sure to make Bush proud.

September 7th, 2007 at 3:45 pmThrough the Looking Glass… Darkly
September 7th, 2007 at 3:45 pmThis could be a perverse example of a Republican actually using the war to divert attention from tabloid like scandals that are breaking. I’ve seen his name in several places lately and he really needs to appear macho right now.

September 7th, 2007 at 4:01 pmOver four years ago people like Graham were saying it’d be a cakewalk, it (insurgency) probably wouldn’t last six months (wasn’t that DR?). Like the boy who cried wolf these delusional people have no credibility. Why do people continue to believe these rosy predictions?
September 7th, 2007 at 4:01 pm26 = Oklahomophobic. (Tough word!)

Apparently Osama agrees with you. If the interpretation Shep Smith is reading is correct, Osama’s massage could have been written by the regular lib posters here. It’s pretty much word for word the lib line. He even likes your hero Noam. Libs parroting Osama’s line, imagine that! ;)
September 7th, 2007 at 4:02 pm30,
And that would make you Osamophobic.
September 7th, 2007 at 4:03 pm29
I believe the correct term is Oklahomosexual.
Oklahomophobic is the alter ego.

Osama also wants everyone to convert to Islam, not going to happen anytime soon. So I guess the right won’t be able to celebrate any sort of alliance between the left and Bin Laden.

Huh, not even a 1% chance? Not even that? The TP Wise Ones have now declared that there is no chance whatsoever…huh…I had no idea the TP staff was composed of Iraqi politicians.
Next thing you know, TP will post a war poll and get the number backward. NOOOO, that cant happen.

Not really despite your deliberate obtuseness. Osama doesn’t like all of those things he talked about, not because he thinks people should leave free, but because he sees them as interfering with Islam. He would prefer a world wide Islamic theocracy. I dislike corporations for lying cheating and stealing. A little different.

History is against you.
The Judeo-Christain world is on the decline.

I can only imagine: “Would you like to come over to my place for a Gannon, should we meet for a Craig in a public bathroom, or maybe you could Foley me on my cell phone? I can hardly wait, Mr. Pee!”
Yup. Most gays are Progs, right, leftup right? Keep dreaming. Remember, “family values.” ; )

Heh, heh, heh I was just about to ask how TP would spin this to be pro-prog and there was toastie’s comment. Excellent cherry picking, bud. I knew you’d be in the running for best avoidance. ;)
September 7th, 2007 at 4:36 pmRE: “Within the next weeks, not months, there will be a major breakthrough on the benchmarks regarding political reconciliation.”
There’s a big scoop that’s been slowly making the rounds on the blogs. I first found it at-
http://mensnewsdaily.com/ 2007/ 09/ 03/ iraq-peace-talks-draw-to-a-close-in-finland/
and then at-
http://cernigsnewshog.blogspot.com/ 2007/ 09/ irish-ex-terrorists-try-to-broker-iraq.html
It’s beginning to gain traction, albeit still mainly in the blogosphere. MSM has yet to pick this up with any enthusiasm. CNN International had this on 9-4-
http://edition.cnn.com/ 2007/ WORLD/ europe/ 09/ 04/ iraq.finland/ ?iref=mpstoryview
A Sunni-Shia peace agreement borkered by an ex-IRA commander and now Sinn Fein MP. Of the Sunni & Shia participants Martin said “”They are power-brokers, they are people with enormous influence in that country. There’s no doubt whatsoever that the message that they bring back from Finland to Iraq is important…”
This is fascinating to say the least! Most fascinating is #5 of the ‘12 point plan’–
“End international interference.”
WOH!
September 7th, 2007 at 4:36 pmI’m not sure where the Bush Admin is in all this, but my belief is most likely at arms length or better; for the simple fact that any Bush Admin involvement will doom any efforts to failure. Especially if there’s no profit or influence for Bush cronies!

I think you spelled some words incorrectly there. You should try typing more carefully! :)
September 7th, 2007 at 4:36 pmLOL Mr. P has hijacked Geralds name to be as stupid and inflammatory as possible, then flames himself. I also like how he and Dean pretend to be different people, including talking about sending emails to each other.
get a life.
Please pay careful attention. Osama is a religious zealot, who wishes to impose a one world religion. Progressives believe in a diverse world view. And that everyone should be free to worship as they choose. The two ideologies regardless of any similarities aren’t compatible.
September 7th, 2007 at 4:36 pmLooks like SOMEONE’s got a case of the MONDAYS! ;-)

My comment was off topic, but really now, look at this whole thread and tell me what the topic was?
It’s clearly Friday and school is out for the week.
Osama should be caught, skinned, and made to swim in salt water for the sh*t he has done. But Bush should be next in line.
The 9/11 tragedy belongs to Osama and the Iraq tragedy belongs to Bush.

You are the type of trash that couldn’t stand 5 minutes in a real debate on the facts around the conflict in Iraq. You are also the type that would most likely be dropped in 5 seconds in a real fight.

September 7th, 2007 at 4:50 pmIt’s racist to advocate Islamics attacking as many caucasians as possible. You do admire 9/11, don’t you (rhetorical question, heh)?.
Comment by Dean CT — September 7, 2007 @ 4:45 pm
Yes it is, and I’ve never advocated “Islamics attacking as many caucasians as possible.” I also don’t admire 9/11, but I do feel that (at least assuming the official story is true), the U.S. brought it on itself.
If you want to disagree with me, that’s fine. But don’t put words in my mouth that I never said.

I think it’s worse than that. At least that would require interaction with other humans. Mr. P seems to be one of those sociopaths that can only interact through an anonymous screen.
Sad and pathetic twisted loser. We all know how that story ends, with Mom cleaning the walls and crying where did she go wrong.
