No Graceful Exit..... WTF?

Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 05:04 AM by radfringe

WTF is "No Graceful Exit" suppose to mean?

No Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers moment of waltzing out of the country? Is bush talking about something along the lines of the Saigon exit?

al-Maliki is saying "No problem" to taking full control. Hey, if it's "no problem" then why the hell is the country in a "civil war" hell bent on complete and utter chaos.

well, slap me upside the head - no one imagined the need for an exit plan...

exit stage right?

How awful it must be for them to "know" it was all a stunt..and they have put their lives on the line for a stupid little man's vanity and bull-headedness.

3. How gracefully the Grey Lady spins....

Such elegant turns, such a stately pace, hardly discernable amongst the dervishes of the 24/7 cable dancers.

5. Bush also says

that "we" will stay as long as the Iraqis want us to. Most surveys show that at least 70% of them want us to leave today. Perhaps refusing to leave when requested to is where the gracelessness comes in.

6. If the Sadrists succeed in building their coalition it may not be long

before he is asked to leave by the Iraqi government. What happens domestically and internationally then when he insists the troops aren't leaving because 'the job' isn't done?

8. The entry was so graceful. It would be a shame not to continue the high quality

performance displayed up to now.

9. Just his use of that phrase in this situation pisses me off

killing and destroying going on and the idiot says no graceful exit so we can't do it. It reminds of of when we used to have a little sports car and there was no way to enter or exit that thing gracefully but enter and exit we did. When I stop and think about it compared to the way he handled this any exit would be most graceful. Bring our kids home and quit killing the Iraqi

10. Did you see Commander AWOL smirk when he said it?

Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 09:14 AM by SpiralHawk

He was smirking and smirking and smirking...

I guess that's what goes down when you and your corrupt republicon oil cronies are making Massive Profits off the oil war, and your sons and daughters are not in uniform...

Wipe that smirk off your face, you AWOL disgrace.
