In name only. Everyone knows Cheney holds the power.

 
HulkHands [TotalFark] 2008-08-07 01:32:24 PM  
Yeah, they can do this under the pretentious "time horizon"

No time lines. Time horizons.

I wonder what it's like to be unable to admit you are wrong?

Speaking of... Combat troop will be brought home, but military consultants will surely reamain. IIRC, the majority of the soldiers sent to Vietnam were classified as consultants.

Off topic, but why do you have to choose Commie, Fascist or Neutral when submitting a Politics link, but the designation never shows up when greenlit? Or am I missing something? Just curious.

 
b2theory [TotalFark] 2008-08-07 01:49:58 PM  
Make no mistake, Obama is already the acting president as far as the day to day operations of the country. This election is just a formality.

I can understand why. They have perfectly cromulent reasons.

It amazes me that someone would still consider voting Republican after the "time horizon" thing. Same old manipulative PR crap.

I'm looking forward to them bringing back the raising of the terrorist threat level to PENDING DOOM before the election. Oh wait, they haven't done flag burning yet, have they?

Wow. That was rather snippy. Just wanted to know why the designation didn't show in the thread. Prick.

I don't think it understood the article at all.

Doesn't Obama's plan call for leaving a small contingent of fast reaction forces in Iraq indefinitely? Seems like a common sense idea.

 
DarnoKonrad 2008-08-07 03:33:21 PM  
This is NOT a timeline. It's a withdraw horizon. Big difference.

 
bacccc 2008-08-07 03:35:16 PM  
WE CAN'T GIVE A TIMELINE OR THE TERRORISTS WIN!

BTW, here's our timeline.

/FU Bush ... and to the assholes who voted you into office

Quick! Step outside and run to the horizon. Let us know when you get there.

 
Hector Remarkable 2008-08-07 03:39:27 PM  
Nov. to Jan. 20th it's President-elect. Til Nov., it's President-assumed.

 
depmode98 2008-08-07 03:42:03 PM  
It was obvious to anyone that the 16 month Time Line was clearly thought up by someone who obviously has no military experience. The 16 month Time Horizon however strikes me as such genius that it could only have been concocted by the greatest military minds of our time.

 
Comrade438 2008-08-07 03:43:33 PM  
DarnoKonrad: This is NOT a timeline. It's a withdraw horizon. Big difference.

Nah; what's going to become the central theme is that thanks to McCain's steadfast efforts we're now able to withdraw in victory rather than defeat. Which, actually, doesn't sound like a terribly awful proposition. We're allowed draw down our forces in Iraq and we've supposedly salvaged ourselves from humiliating defeat. Sounds like a win for the United States as a whole. Go team ... Republicans and Democrats?

Do you know what other country had a president named Hussein?

 
vonster 2008-08-07 03:44:51 PM  
Sometimes I think he ought to lose just for being such a presumptuous douchenozzle.

 
depmode98 2008-08-07 03:45:12 PM  
Thanks Republicans for the Freedom Fries and the color coded terrorist weather alert system. Please let the door hit your ass on the way out of the White House, so people with real ideas can have a turn, instead of just taking other peoples ideas and renaming them to spare themselves the embarrassment that they didn't think of it first.

The morans voted for Vietnam Kerry.

But but..

That would be pretty funny if Obama just walked into the Oval Office and started doing the work of the President.

[Bush walks in]

Bush: "Hey, what the heck are you doing?"

Obama: "Didn't you hear? We had an election yesterday. I won. Your stuff is in the corner over there. Now if you don't mind, I have a lot of work to do."

Bush: "What?! Nobody tells me shiat around here. Oh well. Good luck. I'm glad to be rid of the damn job, to be honest with ya. Anyway, the password to get into the computer is 'iloveCondi.' Call me if you have any questions. See ya."

Search the article for the name "Obama", and let me know what you find.

/Hint: He's not mentioned in the article.
