Hilary and Nancy's statements are obviously outdated, the underlying assumptions in the decisions are invalid, so we can discount them.

Last December, is relevant. ( the Harry Reid Statement) Quoting from TFA:

"If it's for a surge, that is, for two or three months and it's part of a program to get us out of there as indicated by this time next year, then, sure, I'll go along with it,"

So, you're saying we'll be out of Iraq by January 2008?
That should get more press, shouldn't It?

"Bush Announces Troops Out Of Iraq For New Years Eve 2008!!!"

Break out the Champagne boys, we're gonna have a party! With everyone out of Shitville, Iraq by NYE, NEXT YEARS SUPERBOWL PARTY is going to be one to remember!

But til you're home then guys and gals, we'll hoist a few for ye!

Let's do some math... We fucking WON WWII in 3 years, didn't we?

A lot of things change. The idea of killing more kids on behalf of the Iraqis who don't want us there is Just Plain Dumb.

Wanna way out? Give every Iraqi who can hold it a rifle and crate of ammo, some grenades, some other surplus shit, a SAW or 3 for the village, tell them to form Neighborhood Watches, and clean up the mess. Good Luck, May Allah Be Merciful, and GOODBYE!

If they deserve Freedom and Liberty, they'll have the tools, and they can earn it for themselves. That way they'll appreciate it. Cause they don't seem to care now, and I'm unsure why anyone would want to see the pointless loss of life continue.

Or do you think BUILDING A WALL around Bagdhad is going to work? How'd that go for Berlin?

Sure. With massive civilian casualities, the complete destruction of the opponents' infrastructure, and the invasion of all neighboring countries.

And nukes, too.

I'd go for that in Iraq and surrounding countries. Sounds like a plan. Get off this "limited war" crap. It rarely works.

We didn't build the wall in Berlin. Go read some history. It was our opponents at the time, the USSR.

Now, firebombing Baghdad would certainly eliminate the problem ...

What's to develop?

Oh, and the point is "Walls Don't Work".

But that aside, I see troop increases, but Bush didn't say ANYTHING about having the troops back by Superbowl 2008?

WTF?

1. The question isn't pointless at all. You are simply attempting to avoid answering it, because it will point to the truth of my point.

It's quite simple - as politicians, they have made public statements about policy.

Generally, you expect elected officials - when they change their minds about their support for a certain policy - to find a record of it in the public media.

I doubt you'll find any contemporaneous public record of those Dems changing their mind until after it leaked that Bush wanted to increase troop strength.

This clearly points to partisan reasons for their decisions, not decisions based on what's really best, or even effective.

You realize this (perhaps subconsciously) and therefore you will do anything to avoid the question.

2. Your casuality figures are bogus.

3. I corrected my UtopianRanger comment.

4. How in the world did a discussion about "Walls" get into this?

There just MIGHT be a staffer prepared to answer that question. They might have PDFs or something. It's what we pay them for , isn't it. Contact their offices. What else can I suggest?

Hey, as an exercise, let's do this:

Let's say that I stipulate it. It's PARTISAN. Ok.

SO?

What's your fucking point? The Dims can have balls, and play hardball sometimes too?

Are you actually suggesting that "Bi-Partisinship" actually EXISTS outside of some bullshit speech?

You cannot be that naive.

That aside. Who CARES? Let's leave aside the potential legal issues of how we got here.

BUSH FAILED.

Every decision he and his staff made just fucked shit up. I guess, unless you're a US or UK oil company signed on to this weeks agreement. Hmmm... Maybe THAT"S why it's time for Law N Order. They're done making money building bases, it's time to make money building oil wells.

From their point of view, I guess it doesn't suck all that much.

But hey. Back to the point.

From where Joe Twelvepack sits, EVERY promise made has been unfulfilled, and we got FRIENDS over in the sandbox.

So, Bush has HAD HIS CHANCE AND FAILED.

Why continue supporting a failure?

Do you advocate giving the kid who can't pass the test a "C" just to keep his self-esteem up?

Isn't that a proper analogy for this situation.

400 MILLION DOLLARS for Iraqi Civilians.
5 BILLION DOLLARS for operations.
21,000 Troops. In Harms Way.

Just to keep Bush's flagging self esteem up.

It's would be easier for him to feel like a man if he loosened up , got a case of bourbon, some blow, and a few whores to tell him how wonderful he was. Like Kennedy did...

Man could he party.

Where were we.

4. How in the world did a discussion about "Walls" get into this?

We're going to spend a shitload of money putting a wall around the city, so that we can keep the cleansed zones clear. Might be knock down buildings, razor wire, no-mans land variant. But how do you keep Baghdad clear, should you actually succeed in clearing it, once it's cleared.

I'd bet 10 bucks on it, just for fun at the office if someone would take the bet.

Call it a hunch. And it ain't gonna work either.

Did the commission that went to Iraq recommend more troops? Are the generals over in Iraq recommending more troops?

In the beginning of this fiasco we call the Iraq War everyone thought that we needed more troops, except the "yes men" under Bush and Rummy. So a few years ago, when it mattered, the democrats also pushed for increasing troops.

So fast forward, the generals are now saying they do not want more troops if what I have been hearing is correct. The Iraq commission did not recommend more troops, so it stands to reason that the democrats would not want more troops... hell, the American people do not want more troops sent to Iraq either, and we pay their wages.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/30/AR2006113001052.html

So while I am not pleased with what I hear from democrats by and large on the subject of Iraq, their message does not seem inconsistent. It is only a fool that keeps on a failing course expecting that success will be had by being unyielding. If some of the Dem leaders have changed their position, that makes them much more astute than the village idiot calling the shots that continues to throw good after bad, no matter what.

Bush didn't exactly ASK, did he?

Sure, he's under the 2003 Iraq AUMF. But, then again, I did see Durbin saying that all the preconditions of that AUMF were either fulfilled or unfounded.

IF Bush's money for Iraq were to dry up, say by recinding the AUMF, then things could get interesting,

I musta missed this over the last few days. I hope you do not think that I want to see a draft because it will better a few of us. That's not my ploy.

I only want them to announce the news of a draft, because I know it is controversial enough that it will act as catalyst that formulates a rebellion.

My hope is that the many will one day get mad enough to take back their government from the few.

If they ever announce that there's actually going to be draft, I'll be one of the first ones in the streets to throw tomatoes and eggs at the politicians.

No, my point was quite clear. You and others are accusing Bush of taking the actions he has for reasons of self interest. His, and his "class". That's called partisanship. And you bemoan, castigate and decry his lack of intelligence, morals and motivations for doing so.

Yet, even when you admit that "your side" is doing exactly the same things, for exactly the same reasons - it's ok.

There is a name for that, yah know.

If building a wall around Baghdad is part of Bush's speech last night, it's news to me. I didn't watch it, nor have I yet read it.

When I do, and it's part of his plan, and if it interests me enough to respond to it, I will. My only current observation is that you made your "walls" comment before the speech, so it was likely based on incomplete information.
