The first reason why they become concerned local citizens is because they don’t want to be killed, because they’re in a middle of a war that they’re losing. And so the first and only deal that we give them is we will agree not to kill them.

We aren’t paying these guys to come over dell inspiron b120 battery,dell inspiron b130 battery to our side; we certainly aren’t arming them. What we’re doing is promising not to kill them in the first instance. Now, that happens on a local basis.”

Typical neocon.
He looks like he’s spent a lot of time in his youth alone in his room fantasizing…maybe playing with his toy soldiers.
Real life experience?……….not so much
Actual military service?……You must be joking!

From Mr. Rosen :
“But what’s really frightening is that, indeed, when that sectarian fighting will resume — and it will — there’s going to be nowhere to run to, because Syria and Jordan have closed their borders to Iraqi refugees; 11 of Iraq’s 18 governors have closed their borders to internally displaced Iraqis. So when the fighting resumes intensively, it’s going to be a slaughter.”

I agree with hellinabucket that the transcript is worth reading…and I applaud PBS for making it’s balanced reporting available on line in transcript form.

May I suggest a barbed wire colonoscopy?

A high colonic, maybe?

and on……..

and when the revolution starts I’ll join society again.

Until then these lying sacks are going to take us down as quickly as they can. They mean business and things are very serious.

Iraq is only their beginning. They will pull off more unless stopped.

And stop thinking Obama is going to save us. The guy is not a messiah. He and Hillary were preselected by media big business for christs sake.

Until Americans get as serious as the Kagans of the world we are just loud mouth boars like them.

Anyone notice that, when they want to prove up one of their b.s. claims about Iraq they always have to trot out the same 2 or 3 sold-out stink-tankers who obviously have no morals, no conscience, and no real qualifications.

Those guys best stay away from the bars where the generals and admirals hang out if they want to keep their teeth.

“I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.” -President Bush, 06-18-02

Bush administration Orwellian logic: The Bush administration’s Orwellian logic, particularly since the events of September 11, 2001, is clearly exemplified by the endlessly growing list of Congressional acts, programs, and initiatives–and language–which are described or employed in such a way as to convey the opposite of what they actually do or intend. Continued here…

It’s obviously too much to ask to have them to come out of their bunkers/think tanks to come on a TV show AND actually go see what’s actually happening before they open their pie-holes. (and he’s eaaten a LOT of pies)…

I think the first commenter summed it up the best:

“Crackpot realism at its finest.

It’s worth reading. Shows the delay tactics by Sadr. It talks of the real fear by the Sunnis that when we leave they will be slaughtered.
