Then there's no reason to presume that all hell will break loose if we leave.

I mean, no big whip.

2. Their fragmented logic is torturous
things are going great, we have and are succeeding and we have to stay at least another six months. Fuck that. If all hell breaks loose, so be it. It is now and will always be bush's failure.

8. See the message bush's general is telling us.
IS____The surge is working and we'll bring the troops home next summer.

So this is to ...stop the democrats from trying to end the war.
Stop them from...bringing the troops home
And giving a boost in the November 08 election to the republicans.

Because if he brings a couple hundred or maybe even a thousand home, the republicans think the public might be stupid enough to vote republican because bush is ....ending the war.

Do they think we are stupid...he wants to finagle public opinion. Making them think he will bring troops home and therefore he is the one to end the war and not congress.

All the time trying to build up the republicans.

9. These thugs could care less if civil war broke out after we leave
Actually they would encourage it just as they have been doing for years now. Iraqis didn't fall for it though.

What Bush and his minions are worried about is that someone will be digging up the fresh mass graves from the occupation for the camera crews.

Believe me on this one.

11. I only bring this up because it worries the hell out of me
Edited on Mon Sep-10-07 03:39 PM by NNN0LHI
Every time I think about it I can see the black and white images of the German citizenry being forced to look at what their government had been doing in the Nazi death camps during WW II.

600,000 is a lot of dead Iraqis. And we know it is more than that.

12. We need the reminder
And we need to be forced to see what the millions of Iraqi refugees go through, too. Where are the pictures and films of people on their exodus? They have to be out there.

Kucinich talked about the refugees he saw on his recent trip to Syria. When he spoke about it on Tucker Carlson's program last week, even Carlson's usual approach to interviewing was shut down cold. Their situation must be horrific.
