Iraq returns to Normal

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

Wasn't there a scheduled pullout of U.S. soldiers about this point of time? I heard the other day they're stopping some sort of pullout of some 50,000-100,000 forces or something.

In other words, the terrorists are making a stand when we pullout.

What I'm trying to say, forestool, is that we should stay until we've ridden Iraq of these terrorists so we can safely pullout. The Generals have been saying for YEARS, that if we pullout troops on a schedule, the terrorists will accelerate activities.

No, no... we must elect Obama and get us out of there. The place must be in chaos. We must have more ammo to blame on Bush. We must guarantee the whole thing is a failure. Then the libs plan will be complete. Then they can send us back in to clean it up and deem Obama our hero.

They're not terrorists. They are the Mahdi army; they shiites who want us out and are fighting the government that doesn't represent them. the major reason why any success of the surge can be claimed is that they were under a cease fire since last summer. well, they got tired of being shot at, but not being able to shoot back. so their game is back on.

we haven't pulled out yet, don't get your hopes up.

It looks like Sadr realizes he can only cause trouble for a week and then standdown...


Any group can cause enough trouble for a week before a full response is brought about... :shrug:

He probably doesn't want a full scale war, but his followers need a little action now and then to prove they aren't pVssys. If they didn't get some now and then, they would follow a new leader that would give them what they want.

What I find absurd about your whole take on this is, when there was success in the surge you were silent. A few skirmishes pop up and you're ready to jump on it claiming the surge is a failure. There are always setbacks. There will be times where violence erupts. Sort of like in Washington DC. But you operate with a political ignorance that has an agenda and not interested in what's best or the truth.

we haven't pulled out yet, don't get your hopes up.

Are you saying Obama is lying?

You don't have to be a veteran for me to like you as long as you are bashing President Bush! Here's what you and the President need now and again if only to wake you up from your geezer naps.

You obviously didn't read the post about the geezer Marine! Guess he was between naps when he kicked the pizzant in the nuts. Which makes me wonder, how many times in a tenth of a second did that young man's scrotum swing back and forth?

Wait a second, it was a pVssy masquerading as a young punk! Kinda like some of the posters trying to pose as thoughtful intellectuals.

Read, annoyhingboytoy and get an education. Education can help you overcome your ignorance. Education can't cure stupid, however

Basically all this says is you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

So, we're the bad guys?

You obviously didn't read all the posts about the former Marine.

It struck me as a bit out of the ordinary that you fixated on the motions of the teenager's genitals as it appears that you do.

Thank you for your paternal advice regarding my education, however I really feel it applies more to you than to others, especially the last sentence.

Of course we are. As long as Bush is calling the shots we are the evil America. Now put Gore, Hillary or Obama in charge, do the same thing and all is good. Kill them all. It's only morally right if a liberal is calling the shots.

 

[forestal]

To them we are.

No Brainer here...

a) What you know is from some silly newsdork hiding in the greenzone begging a translater to make sense of a local news channel.
b) Al Jazeera's spin on the situation which is always grounded in....fiction.
c) The ever-knowing Liberal Blogosphere.

which boils down to: You really have no clue what is going on over there.

What can be deduced is that: Moslems are killing Moslems...
(which is a crusader's happy place)
Keep handing out the weapons then...and ignore 95% of the news.


If history is any indicator:
We invade to liberate a people...
We spend years supervising and building infrastructure...
We train the authorities to take over...
We endure climate, bugs, viruses, and ignorant taunts of peasants...
And after spending billions of dollars, we wave goodbye and push the helicopters off the flat-tops.


It would be a nice break from this pattern if we simply handed over the weapons and let them exterminate each other.
