surge
or escalation. whatever. no matter, the Prez will call for more troops into Iraq tomorrow. finally the Dems are showing some spine in opposing this pointless political move on Bush's part, and they got a lot of support from the GOP too - plus 61% of the public, and most of the military. nobody thinks it will work, also included is the usual pr surge (4th one,no?). the main mission is to quell Bagdhad - good luck with that one:

Lmao! Are you still clinging to that fantasy? The democrat led House has already given itself a day off for a football game, and the "first 100 hours" are now going to start later in the session than the real "first 100 hours". It's like the runner controls the time clock and is going to decide how long it took to circle the track. You thought the republicans were corrupt?...
The dems don't have the courage for even the little things so a big thing like Iraq is only going to incite some more empty rhetoric from them. Wake-up time. |

Operation "Enduring Stupidity" continues until Bush is either forcibly removed from office or his term expires; whichever comes first.
This fool is not qualified to be commander - in - chief of a boy scout troop, let alone the entire US military as the actionable failures of the past 5 years so plainly show. |

I can't believe we in the USA have had to deal with this dimwitted bully of a president for 6 years already. I am not looking forward to the last 2. Of course Albed does have a point about both parties being corrupt.

Unchanged Melody
by George W Bush and the far-Righteous Brothers Oh, Iraq, my darling, I've hungered for your oil, a long lonely time. Time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much, Are you still mine? I need your oil. I need your oil. God speed your oil to me. Lonely soldiers flow to the sea to the sea, to the open arms of the sea. Dying soldiers cry wait for me wait for me, I'll be coming home, wait for me. I need your oil. I need your oil. God speed your oil to me. By: Justin Frank and posted on the huffington post today. |

I know a song too:
I'm Such a Coward That Combat 10,000 Miles Away Scares Me It's an instrumental, interspersed with chicken clucks and pig squeals and a baby bawling it's head off. . Last edited by albed : 11-01-07 at 02:09 PM. |

You're the coward. A big, fat, ridiculously obvious one. Cowardly in your constant, clipped, yappy little insults and attacks on the credibility of others so that you not once have had to truly rise to the task of reasonably defending your 'own opinions,' and ridiculous in your labeling others as parrots when you never once have shown any single affirmation of a thought which deviates from a one-dimensional, ill-conceived and fundamentally dishonest plan which you fanatically intone like the name of an omniscient God. Cowardly in your inability to show any kind of motivation at all in fact other than the urgent, paranoid need to have other people protect your pimpled ass, and ridiculous because you refuse to admit that the effort itself has backfired utterly and left you, and the whole wide fucking world, more vulnerable than before its inception. Cowardly most of all in your utter lack of empathy, and most ridiculous in your pathetic fantasy that in spite of this you might still manage to pull off the illusion of intelligence, thoughtfulness, credibility, or even a basic grasp of reality. |

My ex-girlfriend's son just got out of the army.
He spent 2 years in Iraq. Had a relatively safe job; unloading / loading cargo planes. He says he is considering re-uping, but is waiting to see if they will up their bonus offer for it. I ask him what if he rejoins and they decide to change his job? He said he wouldn't like that too much. He has been out for 5 months now and has received 6 letters from the army wanting him to rejoin so far. He's still enjoying the new harley sportster he paid cash for the same day he got home and still has some savings left. He will probably sign back up and go back to Iraq when he is broke. To him it is just a job; a job that pays pretty well considering his limited education. |

“Any troop increase over here will just produce more sitting ducks, more targets,” said Sergeant Ronn Cantu, who is serving in Iraq. wonder if we will see this on any of the so-called news channels? |

It's the Wall Street Journal, Dix. Not as conservative as Forbes, but definitely not a liberal rag. They blogged the quote because it was said, you posted it here because you agree with it. News is only propaganda when it's used as such, and in this instance you were and the WSJ was not, hence my sarcasm.

CBS interview with Nancy Pelosi, wherein Bush's "new plan" is revealed to be a continuation of the Tinkerbell strategy: wishing will make it so.

Lincoln had many setbacks throughout the Civil War until he found the right man....General Grant. Bush had many setbacks throughout the Iraq War until he found the right man....General Petraeus. hmmm....wonder if any of our resident geniuses will admit they were even a tiny bit wrong. doubt it. P.S. Merry Fitzmas everyone!! |

the bush admin taking credit for the surge is like an arsonist taking credit for putting out the fire he started.
