"More Troops!"

[Hubert Flottz]

The King has spoken...



Peace On Earth...

1. Bush's Legacy

Is the "Noble Cause" that Bush has on his mind in Iraq now. Bush's Legacy is not worth killing, OR, dying for the way I see it.

Bush ran Away from the meatgrinder in Vietnam.

2. What would happen if all our troops put down their arms and walked away

from Bush'sWar?

We cannot wait for congress and the appointed one to come to their senses and face reality.

[QuestionAll...]

3. all they have to do is talk shit about the commander in theif

like that Wabati (sp?) guy and they get to come home.

[Junkdrawer]

4. Not to worry...James Baker sez it's OK if it's only "temporary"...

and the Senate agrees...

[Hubert Flottz]

5. Dead is never "temporary"...

I have never met anyone who has survived death yet! Near Death Maybe, but never death.

I'll bet you that James Baker won all kinds of battle decorations, so he should know about everything there is to know about war, like George does...another GOP "Expert"?

6. been reading various articles about "the surge"

something is missing. Yeah, it's a very quiet rabid gorilla sitting in the corner and no one has asked the question.

assuming bush increases the troop levels, and we "surge" into Iraq. (call it the surge and amaze plan as opposed to shock and awe?)

ok so we surge into Iraq - then what?

we shocked and awed into Iraq with no plan for what to do next. How is surge and amaze any different?

[Hubert Flottz]

7. I think the "Surge" was in oil company profits in the past 4 years...

and the pResident doesn't want ANYTHING to rock that love boat! So Saddle up Sarge, for the Surge!

American soldiers and taxpayers invest ALL the blood and money in Iraq and Exxon/Halliburton/Bush reaps the rewards! = Bush's "Noble Cause"

[radfringe]

8. true

but to my original question - what's the plan for after the surge?

so we send 20-30k more troops into Iraq, then what? sit around waiting for a cakewalk pagent? take a shower in the flowers? wave at all the people greeting us and thanking us for liberating them from ourselves?

this sounds like "shock and awe part 2"

[Hubert Flottz]

9. He's buying another year in Iraq so his pals can loot and plunder!

Time is money in Iraq!

10. If a sledgehammer doesn't work against flies, try a bowling ball.

Same moron, same logic.

[Hubert Flottz]

11. The time for the massing of manpower in Iraq was the invasion.

30,000 troops won't stop anything there now. 300,000 might have then. All Bush is doing now is selling his daddy's bombs and bullets to the government, helping Halliburton and the other the other "Contractors" keep fleecing the taxpayers and helping Big Oil steal Iraqi oil and he needs more security to pull that off!

Whatever happened to all that oil the neocons said was there to fund the war? Did it evaporate?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. But, it makes it look like he's "doing something".

The "stategery" isn't about the war, or even Iraq, it's about politics. As usual.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. "it's about politics"

And cash!

[radfringe]

14. I'm proposing a snappy name for the "surge"

can't just call it the surge... needs a better, catchier name

invasion of Iraq was dubbed 'shock and awe'

so I'm proposing we call the surge plan "awww and shucks"

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Surge and Dirge, GOPers...

Bush wants to play the death march, for the our great Constitution...

There may soon come a time, for a new revolution?

[spanone]

15. When Congress convenes they should put an end to this insanity. I don't think they will.

and they will be blamed for their complicity right along side the almighty junior.
