Repubs are suggesting that all we need is about 6 more months of war...

[mopaul]

...hmmm, they all seem to use that timetable while simultaneously saying there should be no timetable...why six months i wonder?

don't cut and run just now they say, wait about 6 months at least huh? could it have anything to do with the elections coming up?

what could possibly happen to change disaster into sunshine in six short months? it's all about saving face at this point, foolish pride and stubbornness. all while soldiers and innocents die.

i don't believe this 6 months shit anyway, it's just words to confuse the stupid, of which there are so many.

1. They said at the beginning we would only be there one year. n/t

[Burma Jones]

2. What, to top 3,000?????

This isn't some sort of baseball statistic you fuckheads.

[Swamp Rat]

3. What they mean is: in six months the saturation bombings will begin.

I think Bushler is gonna follow Tricky Dick's Scorched Earth plan.

4. Election time!

and as soon as the Bush Media Machine has broadcast the "timetable" for a few days, all the little Dittiots will be walking around chirping it. I am reasonably sure the pullout was on Rove's calendar all along to coincide with the mid-terms.

5. The next election has always been their timetable

If you look at every touted benchmark, it is scheduled by Bush etal onto Iraqi government. These 'milestones' are then pushed as 'historical events' and 'tremendous progress/success' all thanks to Bush etal and GOP that give a rubber stamp.

When it starts falling apart and goes to shit, they've already maximized it and are praying American's short-term memory stays short (and easily distracted).

6. Guard all of your young, blond women! In about six months

there will be a rash of abductions and disappearances - all of young, blond women. By the time it is all sorted out, the Republicans will be back in power and people will be saying, "Remember the War in Iraq?" "Yeah, whatever happen to that?"

7. It's Time The Dems Get Out In Front Of This And Make Sure The....

american people know what the Repugs are pulling. Let the facade fall - just like it did on the SC - and announce that the Repugs are playing politics with their children, husbands, wives, relatives, friends (the troops in Iraq)and are pushing out any pullout to coincide with the '06 elections and risking more deaths to their loved ones in the interim.

Expose them now - make it tough for them to pull this crap. Let the blood of any deaths that occur between now and a *Co - Repug - Rove - arranged pullout be on *Co's - Repugs - Rove's hands.

10. DLC type Dems are too busy posturing their hawkish stances

to consider how the Republicans are now co-opting the Out Now movement with their latest effort. Hillary&cru will be sitting there braying 'stay the course' and 'must succeed' so that nobody can claim that they are soft on our phony warnterra while the Republicans are busy with their pre-election Mission ReAccomplished illusion.

We (our pitiful Democratic leadership) ain't too swift in the maneuver business of the culture wars. Always getting outflanked and snookered. Can't think one freaking step ahead of the game. Brilliant.

9. The war keeps the Bushco sham economy afloat.

And keeps the Carlyle groupies and Halliburton in the chips.

The "GOOD ECONOMY" is a mirage(fata morgana)...

If you think things got bad after the Clinton economic bubble busted, wait till you see how bad they get when the Bushco bubble pops! And POP it will! Bush would have loved to have had all that Social Security money invested in the stock market when it comes crashing down, but it wasn't in the cards! Still the superbankers stand to do pretty well when the bubble finally pops.

You don't know, how many GOPers I've heard say, "this war is good for business." I don't think the trade-off of 2100 American kid's lives was worth it, but the Wall Street gangsters DO! The party of "Family Values" don't value anyone else's families but their own. Your investment of the Love, Time and Money in your lifetime's effort of raising your kids, don't mean NOTHING, to Bushco and his still faithful 30%! As long as, it ain't their kids getting blown up in Iraq, they think everything is fine and dandy.

11. Like a heroin addict...

"One more fix...PLEASE...just give me ONE MORE...and I'll go straight...really...but just one last time!!!"

The GOP is addicted to war and giving pain and grief to others.

12. six months = long enought to get GWB a blow job . . .

so we can impeach him . . . it's really, REALLY hard finding someone to go down on a crazy person . . .
