The Iraq F*ckover

[Sweetpea]

Now that they have f*cked over iraq and have given them sovereignty, the brewing civil war will be their fault. The chaos will be their fault. The beheadings will be their fault. The lack of health care will be their fault. No electricity will be their fault. The newly recruited terrorists will be their fault.Unemployment will be their fault.Everything that goes awry will be their fault.

In this celebration of transfer, did we bring them democracy? Are they dancing in the streets today? Why isn't there a parade with Bremer as the Host of ceremonies?

[Eye and Monkey]

1. No parade. Rocket propelled grenade.

2. its the best of both worlds

not only do we give them responsibilty for the chaos in the future, we still get to bomb and kill people too!

sigh.

[Sweetpea]

3. did u notice there were no citizens at that ceremony.

[Piperay]

4. Americans will still continue

to die over there though which isn't going to set well with the people at home, anyway I wouldn't think so. :shrug: :-(

[Corby]

5. Here Comes Negroponte!

Still sticky with the blood of Hondurans and Nicaraguans.

12. How handy -- experience in terrorizing 1 country while destabilizing

another. Deja vu..

13. Hi Corby!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Corby]

17. Thanks for the warm welcome.

You're a gracious lot of subversives, aintcha?

See ya later, agitator!

[Sweetpea]

15. Welcome to DU Corby

:hi:

[cthrumatrix]

6. did you expect anything else... transfer in secrecy.

[Sweetpea]

8. I didn't have any expectations

but this one is pretty surprising.

[mopaul]

7. last week they said bush would be making a victory trip to baghdad

i wonder if it's been delayed or cancelled? the sneaky two day jump, in the middle of the night is strange. almost as if dumbass was trying to distance himself from his own glorious victory.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. They even delayed the NATO meeting

for a couple of weeks, so the chimp could stop by Iraq for the handover. I guess things didn't go as well as they planned?

[lostnfound]

10. & "despite all that America has invested in giving democracy & freedom to

the Iraqis, it's clear that some Iraqis are determined to throw it away..."

and Thomas Friedman can argue that it's a problem inherent in the Arab culture (in some poetic, pulitzer-prize-winning way)

[Sweetpea]

11. I wonder when we will find out what the roots of what is inherently

wrong in our democracy.

[Corby]

16. Pogo knows!

[Oddman]

14. Our poor kids in uniform will continue to die so bush and his buddies

can make a fortune. The taxpayers will still be paying $30,000.00 per soldier per month and up to $1500.00 per private contractor per day. How sick is this administration? My god Nixon PALES in comparison . . . absolutely disgusting . . .


A Pathetic Excuse for a pResident - Screw Him . . .

18. I am still tripping about the handover just being a passing of an

envelope

[spanone]

19. Iraq hand over: Another bush* photo-op

Now, who will be the first soldier killed under Iraqi-rule?

[Sweetpea]

20. YES YES YES

I am totally disgusted.
