Is BREAKING OUT all over the middle east .... so that's why all the other countries are withdrawing their troops from Iraq
huh Mr. President! Hip Hip hurray! We won .... can we get our own troops out now Mr. President? Whatta ya say? Everyone
else is leaving, nothing to see here, move along. You know parade time!~ Common bring um home NOW. And if not ..... then
at least have the decency to finally give them the supplies to defend themselves! You know the 'support our troops thingy'.
Talk is cheap, just like those yellow ribbons on all the SUV's running around the states. Or can we say Mission
Accomplished one more time? And maybe mean it... this time? Whatta ya say? :bounce: Well goodnight Mr. President, and remember Scarlet once said .... 'Tomorrow's Another Day'

1. They did it - they undid 40 years of USA/Brit Policy and will now allow

democracy to interfere with the Oil Business.

[whistle]

2. Not democracy, FREEDOM, there is a difference, iron rule by

...an occupying force but freedom to choose McDonalds if you want it!

3. I think the people always wish to rule them selfs and we did not do it

We are their for the bases and the oil and if we can not get all of Iraq we will take the oil from the Turks part of the country. These countries did their bow to Bush and the USA and now they see we are a paper tiger they are going back to living. Or that is how I see it. We have the Neo-cons every place running the Govt. or 'yes men' here and their and no one seems to care what we say. Or that is how I see it. I am not sure why but when the President of Fr. said they would help with one man who would stay in Europe, to me that was proof that Bush had died and did not know it.

4. The Bushite contradiction---

"Success is here, let's count those chickens" vs. "Can't bring our troops home, it would lead to a bloodbath."

Point it out and you start to get a nuanced approach.

My guess is that any election that needs an occupying army declaring a no-drive, all day curfew on a nation, and any government that needs an occupying army in order to set about the task of oppressing minorities, aren't that deeply democratic. But that's me.

5. Welcome doublethink..But How Much Would You..

Care to bet the jerk won't say that frankly he doesn't 'give a damn'?

6. How mind boggeling?

Expected to wake up this morning and have a response from The President in this thread saying in his most humble way 'Mission Accomplished, uhhhh Okey Dokey, let's bring um home' !!!! NOT. He really 'doesn't give a damn' about anything to do with Iraq but the OIL. Whata drag :(
