Rev,

You make a point, although a small one. In recognition thereof however, yeah, send all the members of Congress who voted in support of Bushco's Iraq invasion initiative along with him, for "back up" or whatever. That oughta' fall within the bounds of natural and logical consequences; well that and the "stupidity should hurt" concept.

We need a few airstrikes just to destroy that stuff.

Smells like 1975 all over again.

I agree that it is a good article. Sadly it's probably too long and too thought provoking for many of our board to read or understand.

I didn't read it but I'm pretty sure it's the dimwit that we left in charge.
al-Maliki got rid of the capable Sunnis and Kurds so he could put Shia allies in charge of anything important.
The Awakening movement was left fallow...this was the crew that was able to stand up to Al Qaeda.

Looks like Iran will be their only hope to save Baghdad, then we'll have a giant Iranian theocracy with ayatollahs running wild when the dust settles.

gettin worse... we have a few Marines and Army at the Embassy now... they are also calling for bombing raids in Syria...

gettin even worse, they have taken over Hussein's Chemical Weapons factory, and the leader said a while back to other terrorists "see you in New York", wonder if they were talking about having lunch on Wall Street...

This cocksucker (Dick Cheney) should be strapped to the first MOAB that is dropped in Iraq:

Between Dickhead Cheney lecturing about how to act in Iraq and Oliver Felony North chastising someone for negotiating with terrorists this whole fuckin country is starting to look more and more like an Orwell novel.

Todd

Cheney lecturing anyone on Iraq would be laughable, if wasting trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives were funny.

Next we'll have Dumbya teaching English at Princeton, Hank offering advice on how to make an intelligible post without a copy/paste, and I'll be fishing a float and jig on Monday at Reiter Ponds

Fish on...

Todd

you go to that sh!thole Todd?

I think you may just be missing the entire point of my last few posts.

Fish on...

Todd

oh wait... "things that will never happen"

got ya...

Slim Shady Cheney. Ha Ha

The last paragraph should have been the first. Would have saved me some time.

Talk of "advisors" and Green Berets now.....

That led to a bad situation the last time.

If we are discussing Iraq I'd say the best thing to make sure you do what is almost 100% the right thing to do is this.

Get George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condaleeza Rice together in a room, and listen to them discuss it. Observe the tossing around of ideas, the in depth inspection of every plan, the weighing of all possible outcomes, and see a strong consensus emerge...

Then do exactly the opposite of that.

Fish on...

Todd

Yes it does.



Yes he should have...and yes the US should have starting in 2001.

Hank, now that you have joined Glenn Beck in decrying the fact that the US ever went into Iraq at all on false pretenses designed to perpetrate the biggest fraud on US taxpayers...ever...by transferring trillions of our tax dollars into the pockets of the MI Complex, does that mean you will be holding your candidates to that when you vote next?

Or...will you vote for the same fools who defend that action while you are voting "For the Economy"?

Don't bother answering...that's a rhetorical question. Of course you will not...vote against those fools or vote for things that are good for the economy.

You'll be too busy voting GOP, straight party line.

Fish on...

Todd

Yeah...so was most everyone with an IQ over 22.

That being said...all the clowns in Congress whining about Obama's actions in Iraq the last couple days are hypocritical pieces of schit, and so are those who have now decided to feel differently because it's Obama and not Bush doing it.

Fish on...

Todd

This whole thing is a nice, warm piece of red meat for the political wranglers.
Not hard to deduct that al-Maliki created this recent mess by trying to make Iraq a Shiite state.
The Kurds and Sunnis were left out....what's happening now was predictable.
So now Kerry is going to go over there and try to teach al-Maliki how to create a unified government ?
I don't think think so....too late for that.

There was the American War
Then the 1st Civil War
Now it's the 2nd Civil War

This will have to play out and the result will be one of 3 things, just as it was after Saddam's fall.
