It is time for a National Strike to get the attention of a President who has apparently been blinded by God. The public is the decider in this country.
We are truly fortunate to have a thinking man at the helm now in Iraq.
General Petraeus has already proven that the long haul, however unpopular with the Americans who want everything 'right now,' is the best bet in Iraq. The American media, also infamous for supporting the bad guys with their habit of 'down mouthing' the commander-in-chief's EFFORTS should settle down and maybe even throw some words of support toward our military leaders and troops.
Most American citizens do this every day!! Let's roll!
US electorate policy, note the first time the US could not blame bush, but the second time they elected bush, they MUST blame themselves, thus ME {middle east} policy is USA people policy.
1.) Kill all living life in Iraq - 2003 - operational
2.) Kill all in Iran - 2009 google 'operation tirrant'
3.) Kill all in Saudia-Arabia - 2012 still classified
Muslim is gone, west gets 'portable energy'.
Google 'litton bionetics', how the cia created aids and wiped out the black man in Africa, problem is that muslim are not promiscious so what worked in Africa doesn't work in ME. What works in the ME is shots to the head, poison-gas, depleted uranium.
Not since the UK wiped out a whole people, e.g. the Tasmanians have a entire populations been wiped from the face of the earth.
In 100 years we can all read about what happened to the muslim, like we read what happended to the american indian.
The good news is that in 20 years the asians will rule the world, and the white man will get his reward, as malcolm-x once said 'the white man aint' smart enough to rule the world', he may be able to murder the world, but he'll never rule the world.
Personally what I think will happen is that christian-muslim destroy each other, and asian win. The chinese must be laughing their tail's off watching the west squander their wealth, knowing that when the ME perpetual war is over that neith er the muslim nor the christian will be left standing.
....yes Bob ,,,all the way to WWIII..you numpty.
'It is time for a National Strike to get the attention of a President who has apparently been blinded by God.'
I think we can go without french fries until they get someone else to operate the Frialator, Jimmy. You go ahead and strike. WORKERS UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your Clearasil and hacky sack!
I can't stand that the right sees the left as unsupportive. I'm neither, but if the different sides would just listen to each other, they'd realize they have a common goal: the safety of our troops and the success of the war. Democrats know just as well as Republicans that an admitted defeat in Iraq would bode terribly for our country. They don't want to see us fail.
And that may be the strongest reason they don't believe sending a 'surge' of troops in the coming year is the best idea. The left doesn't see this as a war that can be won with soldiers on the ground, rather, as it should've been, the consolidation of ideas and roundtable talks. Terrorists blow themselves up because they're trying to send a powerful message that we don't listen to... short of them blowing themselves up in crowded places.
Does this mean we concede to any and all demands that they have? Absolutely not, but in the American spirit, we should certainly be sitting down with the people behind all of this conflict, and figuring it all out, since we're there. When you let someone talk, you give them enough rope to hang themselves. Right now, we're making them look like freedom fighters, by being the imperialistic country that they claim we are.
Of course, as a liberterian, I would've rather we had never gone in the first place.
First of all 'all living life', I may be just a degenerate republican, but I could of sworn that to kill life it had to be living to begin with anyway. Secondly I really hope that all that crap you posted you don't actually believe. Of course if you can find it on google it's generally true, and not just made up crap that some conspiracy theorist put up in his spare time. Because of course if the Agency had done that they probably would've kept it pretty quiet, but whatev. Hey Good Luck convincing any educated person to agree with you.
White House Policy...try this,
1. Operation SINBAD.
2. Operation TIRANNT,
3. WWIII.
Democrats know just as well as Republicans that an admitted defeat in Iraq would bode terribly for our country. They don't want to see us fail.
I think they DO want to see us fail. For short term political gain they want to see us lose in Iraq so they can point to the failure of 'Bushes war'(never mind that most of them voted for it) as a way of getting the reflexive among us to vote for them by voting against it. Never mind the consequences for the country. We won't even have an intelligent examination of that.... It is all about getting short term, domestic political power at the expense of the long term status of the USA.
' Right now, we're making them look like freedom fighters'
Well, they sure are fighting freedom.
'Hey Good Luck convincing any educated person to agree with you.'
Gee, how could anyone remain unconvinced by: 'Kill all living life in Iraq - 2003 - operational, 'Kill all in Iran, Kill all in Saudia-Arabia - 2012 still classified...the cia created aids and wiped out the black man in Africa, shots to the head, poison-gas, depleted uranium...In 100 years we can all read about what happened to the muslim,...'
I think, Bob, you need to Google thousands of conspiracy websites and take some brown acid and maybe drink a pot of espresso... Then perhaps you will be able to see that the 'truth is out there'.....
Lets just hope that General Petraeus can get a handle on this fiasco, and get the USA out of Iraq sooner rather than later.
Petraeus success will depend more on the Bush administration listening and supporting him, more than any support, or lack there of, the public can give. This administration's record of listening to military experts in very poor.
As far as this surge goes, this more of a squirt than a surge.
Even when all the troops that compose this 'surge' are finally in country (that will take months it is being reported...the true legacy of Rumsfelds disastrous 'transformation') the total levels will not even equal the high of about 165,000 of a few years ago. This does not inspire confidence.
Even in the unlikely event that Petraeus can rescue some measure of success from this abysmal mess, this administration needs to be held to atone for it's extraordinary blunders and the lives and treasure they squandered
How about that Senate! No wonder slavery went on for 100 years.
