I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

GravatarI think we should wait for the general's report.

GravatarJust in case the pony is around the next corner, donchano?


GravatarThe surge is working.


Gravatarno home run for you!


GravatarMustn't be hasty.


GravatarOne of those 2012 candidates will be Petraeus. Bill Kristol has been whispering in his ear for months about it.


Gravatarbye for now


GravatarFrance 0 - Italie 0

très bon match


GravatarMaybe they need to change their name to the Wanker Society

I doubt it. Bush has eighteen months to turn on him, and then he loses his base of troo B-leeverz.


GravatarNot. Good. Enough.


GravatarPeace is symbolic


GravatarThis 2040 election year promises to bring the Iraq War to the forefront. The ticket of Jenna and Not Jenna Bush, and their slogan, "No Islamic hoo hahs" threatens the campaign of....


GravatarOne of the best Presidential Welcome Wagon gestures you can do is to present your successor's first days in office with a custom made foreign war.

The Bush family observes this protocol religiously.


GravatarWell, there is only one person who's able and willing to state that troops will be withdrawn immediately upon his inauguration and that without any exception, the 'war' is illegal and must stop.

You know who.


GravatarFrance 0 - Italie 0

France deserved to win even though Henry stank up the joint.

Think Progress had a piece about it earlier this week...


GravatarYou know who.

Ron Paul?

Gravatar"The real question we face is what the 2012 candidates for president think about when we should withdraw from Iraq."

assuming a dem wins in 2008, they'll have to be 80k or less remaining by the end of 4 years, or they'll be one-termers.


GravatarWe'll leave when the oil is gone.

You forget that they're old fashioned girls will use their married names:

Jenna Bush Hagar Schwarzenagger Gabor McCain Bush and notJenna Bush-Rice announced today....


GravatarBush will now call his next little adventure, the bombing of Iran, "Operation Clearer Path Forward."


GravatarAll I can think of is all those goddamn dollars being spent on this catastrophe.


Gravatarmore on the invention of the screw (from below):

In 1513 a German clock maker developed the first screw. The first screws were made out of brass or steel wire. The threads were hand cut using a file. The screw head was made by striking and flattening one end of the wire. A slot was cut in the head using a file. Manufacturing processes improved the screw, but the basic design has been around for almost 500 years.


GravatarDoes anyone know how much oil is leaving Iraq now? I can't believe it could be very much.

I'm telling you, his name was Threadius Driver.

Die for no god damned reason.

Dubyah 'pree-shee-ates it though, so your family can take shitloads of comfort in that.

fourlegsrgood, gots pitchfork


And they weren't ever our dollars.


GravatarYou know what the way forward is?

To send chimpy to the Hague and announce to the world that he's an insane war criminal who completely fucked up in Iraq, withdraw all the troops and throw ourselves on the mercy of the world, and beg for everyone's help in cleaning up the mess.


GravatarI'm off again to go be some-what productive.

Later.


Gravatar"A clearer path forward." That's good writing.


GravatarDoes anyone know how much oil is leaving Iraq now? I can't believe it could be very much.

Probably not.

It doesn't matter, it becomes more valuable as time goes by.

Money in the bank for the Oil Corpse.


GravatarI'm off again to go be some-what productive.


Productivity is overrated.


GravatarI'm telling you, his name was Threadius Driver.

Nope. Phillip S. Head.


GravatarON that sad note, I'm going to go take a nap.

I should be working but my head hurts too badly.


GravatarI'm inclined to skip the screw jokes.


Gravatar"...and beg for everyone's help in cleaning up the mess.:
--fourlegsrgood,

Oh yes.


GravatarNope. Phillip S. Head.
Toonscribe


Both wrong, it was a guy named Robertson.

(Canadian joke)


GravatarWhen is China going to send around their bent-nose bulky dudes to collect their money? Probably the day after Shrub leaves office.


GravatarI should be working but my head hurts too badly.
fourlegsrgood

I recommend codeine.


Gravatar"A clearer path forward." That's good writing.

I'm sick of the word "forward"

chimpy and company have killed it for me.


GravatarBoth wrong, it was a guy named Robertson.

Robertson is just another name for flathead.


GravatarTo send chimpy to the Hague


They can even let him stay at his ranch on a house-arrest sentence, happily clearing brush until he keels over, just get him out of there.


GravatarUpdate from the earlier post.

BAGHDAD — A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives-packed Mercedes near a row of stores in the Shiite militia stronghold of Sadr City on Saturday, killing at least 15 people, police and hospital officials said.

The attack in the eastern Baghdad enclave came as at least 36 other people were killed or found dead in Iraq, including four who died in a bombing of an outdoor market in the Shiite holy city of Kufa.


Just like Terre Haute....


GravatarTo send chimpy to the Hague and announce to the world that he's an insane war criminal who completely fucked up in Iraq, withdraw all the troops and throw ourselves on the mercy of the world, and beg for everyone's help in cleaning up the mess.

I'd vote for that.


GravatarRobertson is just another name for flathead.

Erm?

smalfish,


huh, so is "Brownback"


Gravatar ...send chimpy to the Hague and announce to the world that he's an insane war criminal who completely fucked up in Iraq, withdraw all the troops and throw ourselves on the mercy of the world, and beg for everyone's help in cleaning up the mess. -fourlegsrgood, gots pitchfork

I like it.

Meanwhile, a musical interlude.

He told us we were on our own for three days and we invited everyone from the neighborhood over for a keg party. I think he was deliberately setting us. Entrapment!

Yeah, but it comes in flat and round.


GravatarOh, isn't that Nanette Fabray? She was a classical singer in her younger days.


Gravatarsheeeeeeeeetsssssssss


Gravatar2012 is five years from now. My head cannot stand to read about the "war" in Iraq that much longer. Something must be done.


GravatarSheets, already

I did. Weird that you mentioned it. Not my face, but took my head hair down real close. I kinda like the fuzzy feel to it.


GravatarYou know who.

Ron Paul?


Dennis Kucinich?

Trouble is, we didn't build all those massive, spiffy military bases just to occupy the place for a couple of years.


GravatarRobertson head has a square hole and is driven by a special power-tool bit or screwdriver. The screw is designed to maximize torque transferred from the driver, and will not slip, or cam out. It is possible to hold a Robertson screw on a driver bit horizontally or even pendant, due to a slight wedge fit.

Gravatar"It is time to chart a clearer path forward."

More like: "It is time to thrash around in Iraq for another five years and THEN chart a clearer path forward."

Institute of Peace -- in the best tradition of the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, etc.


GravatarUnfortunately, Duncan, you are probably right. 2012. What a sickening thought.

Well, we lived through this during the Vietnam war, so I guess we can live through it -- oh, wait. We can't. The country is too ideologically unstable this time around. It will fall apart into geographic factions, ushering in an American version of the Warring States periods in Chinese and Japanese history.


GravatarThe United States faces too many challenges around the world to continue its current level of effort in Iraq.

This is almost enough to convert me to "stay the course." Immoral as our occupation of Iraq is, the side benefit of keeping us from casually stomping through the world carelessly breaking other people may be worth it. Is anybody in favor of ending endless wars?
