Oh, yes! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaaha!
Oh, this is SUCH a treat! The Retreaticans are imploding in Washington, civilian Retreaticans are making excuses for them and sticking to... er... with their leader, who is 'staying the course'. How many times have we heard that?
Bill O'Liely/Hannity/Novak/Coulter/Cheney/Rumsfeld ALL deriding the left for wanting to set a timetable and get the flock out of Vietn... er... Iraq.
Cut and run is what they said we wanted to do, although no one on the left ever said anything like that.
Well, NOW what are the Pukes gonna say?
Oh, lordy; this is SWEET!
From the BBC
Senator John Warner, chairman of the Senate armed services committee, offered a bleak assessment of the situation and talked of the need for new options to be considered when he returned from a recent visit to Iraq.
He suggested that events there were drifting and that the time was coming for bold decisions to be made.
"In two or three months, if this thing hasn't come to fruition and if this level of violence is not under control and this government able to function, I think it's the responsibility of our government, internally, to determine: is there a change of course that we should take?" he said. (can you say, "October surprise"? I knew you could!)
Sen Warner's comments are anything but routine, the BBC's Justin Webb reports.
While he did not specify what the decisions might be it is being suggested that he might have been preparing the ground for the White House to give up waiting for Iraqi Prime Minister Prime Minister Nouri Maliki to establish order.
That is a decision which could lead to a timetable for the return of US troops or an acceptance that a single Iraqi nation is no longer viable, our correspondent says.
We could, if we wanted to, now make a case for RoveCo planning on doing exactly what they SHOULD have done years ago, but didn't. All of those lives wasted; killed or maimed kids - for what? For fucking nothing, that's what.
Perhaps we're leaving because Iraq is running out of people to enforce whatever law there is over there. From further down in the same article:
In another development, US officials said that about 4,000 Iraqi policemen had been killed performing their duties over the past two years, with another 8,000 injured.
THAT is an understatement if you start adding up the frickin' BUSLOADS of cops that have been abducted then subjected to 'intense' interrogation and then killed. Oh, yeah; this time, we didn't do it.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!
It's just too bad that so much of our blood and our treasury went to make Halliburton and other croneys rich.
I wonder: will there be a monument erected for the last warfighter to die for Bush's greed?
I'm betting not.
