I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
what, they have steroids in Iraq now?
my bad, wrong part of the SOTU
There are no good choices left - thanks to Commander Bunnypants. US forces will be in Iraq for 2 to 5 years no matter what, even if it's under a UN umbrella as Kerry proposes. The SOTU promise of a pull-out, like all other Dubya promises is an apriori impossibility (yet no one, no one has called him on this). Any electoral process in Iraq is going to be one bloody helleva mess. American forces will essentially be left hunkering down trying to dodge the grenades Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds will be lobbing in each other's direction.
Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Whose stupit idea was this invasion of Iraq anyway?
I mean "stupid"; I'm not that stpit.

Eat dead burnt bodies... I say, kill! (there's much more) I could do the whole Alice's Restaurant bit... it's timely and now...just subtract the draft that is soon to come.
Read it as you will... and do some good searches.
Killing the bold text And moving onward.
"More than 600 Iraqi security and police forces have been killed since April." - CNN
My God.
Next in line for the soundtrack of our lives...
There's somethin' happening here...
what it is ain't exactly clear...
Grammar police should be shot. So dont do it to yerself. The iraqi elections will never happen. Polling sites will be blown up. Those who have guts enough to go to one will soon loose their resolve once they hear the bombs going off. In the end Sistani will be in charge and there will be more and more civil war as America pulls people out by helicopters from the roof of the American Embasy...er, tallest building in the Green Zone. There will however be bases in the desert where we will try to keep the Iranians or Syrians from swooping in for the oil. Maybe we should back a UN sanctioned invasion by Kuwait?
/fripfrappinxvsgq&*!!! blogger - I deleted the first take on this, erased it, it shouldn't exist.
AAaaargh! freaking double posts!
Tena, Billmon just did a quadruple post. Check it out if you don't believe me. So don't feel bad.

The question "Should President Bush do [X]?" exists in a one-to-one correnspondence with the question "Will President Bush do [X]?", where the answer to one is the opposite of the answer to the other.
The real question is what will Sistani do.
Why ask what Bush will do?? He will do whatever Rove tells him......is there any evidence that Bush can reason coherently and make decisions in any responsible way?
This fuckhead ought to be dragged out of the White House and thrown into a prison...
I've suspected that one reason why attacks are down on American troops is because they've totally withdrawn from their constabulary duties.
This was so obvious, but without any pundit before us, perhaps *ADORABLE* we say it first:
Iraqi Rent-a-Constabulary = ARVN
And maybe a question might be if we pull out and Sistani more or less holds the reins with a couple others (very likely very soon) is there anything he can do about the violence (assuming the violent are some of the foreigners brought in and unwilling to leave, or members of rival factions who do not trust Sistani)?
These coordinated attacks: Does this mean that there are some foreign groups involved in them?
Richard Clarke says it's Al-Qaeda or other foreign fighters, for the first time. I think we can now call Iraq a "free-for-all." God help our military, and God really help the Iraqis when we pull out.

"....I mean, I'm sitting here on the Group W bench, 'cause you wanna know if I'm moral enough to join the army and burn women, kids, houses, and villages after bein a litter bug"
No. And no.
What a nightmare. Thanks, GW!
I can't wait to tell my grandkids horror stories about 1999-2004 (the Dark Years). I can only hope that their faces will register shock and disdain for these awful selfish people and their devil-may-care destruction of this country.
Where the hell were out troops while this was going on?? I guess this is Donald Rumsfeld's idea of stability: sacking police stations and killing innocent people by the dozens. If you think what's happening now is bad, just wait until we cut and run on June 30
Quagmire Accomplished!
so this anti-midas touch of george's, we have to make it a meme. seeing george is always assbackwards, i say we use sadim touch.
Pull out NOW. My son turns 16 this weekend...I don't want him to carry the label 'Draft Dodger' the rest of his life.
I thought Tet was last week.
Seriously, they fought for over an hour and the US forces never made an appearance. I suppose it was pay-back for the attack on Gen. Abizaid a few days ago.
US out of Iraq.
Surrender now. Kerry knows how.
well, ah think we are welcomed in Iraq
"Beyond the Euphrates began for us the land of mirage and danger, the sands where one helplessly sank, and the roads which ended in nothing. The slightest reversal would have resulted in a jolt to our prestige giving rise to all kinds of catastrophe; the problem was not only to conquer but to conquer again and again, perpetually; our forces would be drained off in the attempt."
Emperor Hadrian AD 117-138
