If I hear "BUSH" one more time!!!!

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Despite Obama's declarations Friday and the celebrations they have sparked on the liberal blogosphere, the Pentagon certainly seems to believe its forces may well be in Iraq after 2011.

NBC's Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszeswki reported on Friday that "military commanders, despite this Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government that all U.S. forces would be out by the end of 2011, are already making plans for a significant number of American troops to remain in Iraq beyond that 2011 deadline, assuming that Status of Forces Agreement agreement would be renegotiated.

Ummm . . . as per the Bush Administration's security agreement with the Iraqi Parliament from last year, ALL U.S. combat troops will be out of Iraqi cities and towns by June 30th, 2009.
 
Operative word is "combat." That leaves perhaps 40,000 other troops undefined.

This country has far bigger problems than Iraq....

As per the Security Agreement forged by Bush and the Iraqi Parliament. After the combat brigades have been removed, the U.S. mission will change to supporting the Iraqi government and its Security Forces. They will be calling the shots.

No big surprise there.
 
No offense but you have the inside the box views and critical thinking of a teenaged girl.

Idiocy. I'm too bored to respond but I'll clue you in on something. Potential enemies are more turned on by American pussies losing their resolve over a war that cost America literally 1/100th the casualties of WWll than thinking we were stretched. I mean what mother fucking planet do you live on? There's 305,000,000 people in this country and 150,000 of them were stationed in Iraq.

Maybe it's my imagination but Blair sent troops in with us. And both the Vice President and Secretary of State voted FOR THE WAR.

And besides who gives a rats ass if the "rest of the world"-read liberal Euro-socialists-like us or not? I don't want to be liked by those people.

Apparently they love Obama, eh? He went to the G20 begging for Europe to go trillions in hock and what did they say? Then he went to NATO and said support my war in Afghanistan with more combat troops. And what did they say? Then as he shills for his health plan what does the market do? It breaks 5% lickety split on the notion.




Quote from cgroupman:

Sorry, just had to actually laugh out loud at this one.

Bush took the U.S. from one of the most respected countries to a standing lower than ever before in our history.

He showed our enemies that he was willing to risk all of our troops for an un-needed war in the wrong place. Leaving us more vulnerable than during the Cold war. China and N.Korea were probably saying, wow, no more reserves, no more ready reserves, no more economy, if it wasn't for the fact that we need their trader, this would be a good time to. Fill in the blanks.

The point is saying that all "troops" will be leaving Iraq is ridiculously disingenuous.

By your own admission these reductions were ALREADY mandated and 105,000 troops were coming home over the next year regardless if Obama, McCain or Ghengis Khan was U.S. President.

I contend we'll have at least 30,000 troops there for years. Or whatever non-"troop"euphemism you want to tag them with, i.e.personnel, advisers, peacekeepers.....

Hence the word "combat."
Time to go workout on the track.

Being that we're on the internet,
no one but my wife and dog actually heard me though.

Now the wife wants to know WTF is going on down there, and the dog is barking.

In retrospect I probably should just have typed "LOL" instead.
 
Market doesn't trust this guy and can you blame them?

Anything is possible, especially with all the stimulus.

I wouldn't be surprised to see tough sledding from here on though.
