Comments on: Bush: Iraq’s Resurging Violence ‘A Very Positive Moment’ http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/27/bush-iraq-positive/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:43:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: batteries http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/27/bush-iraq-positive/comment-page-3/#comment-5284362 batteries Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:55:26 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2008/03/27/bush-iraq-positive/#comment-5284362 I long ago stopped taking what GWB says as worthy. The latest violence is the first real test for the Iraqi forces and will show if we can exit with any dignity or have to remain so we can continue to attempt and hold this fragile country from completely falling apart. This can also fall into McCain’s platform of more troops being sent. I don’t know if the American people can stomach it, or if the military can support it but the <a href="http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/xd187.htm" rel="nofollow">dell xd187 battery</a>,<a href="http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/inspiron-1501.htm" rel="nofollow">dell inspiron 1501 battery</a> increased violence plays into both the warped view that Bush has now and the glorified battle mentality of McCain.

It was almost as if these crooks did their level best to show everyone that they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery! So far the fact they've got away with such heinous crimes for me qualifies as a wonder of the world! So we've long since past the point where anything that's said now is of any relevance at all. In fact I believe the best response would be to completely ignore anything this evil wretch says. Bush and his cohorts deserve nothing less than a firing squad.

Bush has his head where the sun don't shine but that doesn't matter because it's full of poison and sawdust anyway. Four thousand young and not-so-young Americans have died in the past five years. I forgot the latest figure of the seriously wounded. I'm not sure how many kids are without a parent because of this. We are, if McCain is elected, headed for a three trillion dollar war. For what? What have we <em>gained</em>? We have got to take our country back so that we can withdraw from this horror in a way that doesn't leave the Iraqis up the creek without a paddle.
