Desquamation: Well I can't speak for all of us, but sure, I'd be alright with that... as long as you do it while in church.

Figures. The nanny-staters' goal is to eliminate religion, morality, and anyone who actually wants to lead a free, individualized life.

So, if the country has been stabalized by having the current troop level, why are they reducing it?

SchlingFo: monsignorguru: This administration has done nothing but lie, cover up and lie some more.

Any proof of this, Libtard?

Or, is this just another, "We don't like him because he's winning!!" argument?

No I'm pretty sure he's not winning actually. And yeah he does seem to lie a lot.

I've learned that pulling out early prevents bad things from happening. Littlepapasmerfs.

Now that the place has been completely destroyed old Bushy is gonna cut and run. Nice job georgie.

If I wore a tin foil hat I would wonder how it is that Al-Sadr calls time out, Petraeus gives his report and Bush decides to send 30,000 home?

To get ready for something else perhaps?

Did you even read the article?

czarangelus: Well, no crap. Funny how the jihadis and the American people both have the same enemy in the end... a few tens of thousands of people in New York and Washington DC are trying to control the lives of everyone, whether at home or abroad.

Wow. Did you really just say that? czarangelus, I'm ashamed that you live in this country. In fact, I'm ashamed that you're even a human; you make the entire species look bad. It's probably a good thing you're such a lost cause in real life, your children (god have mercy on their souls) will never rise to any kind of prominence.

Sir Charles: Bush increases troop levels:

Ridicule from Fark

Bush decreases troop levels:

Ridicule from Fark

Seriously, is there anything Bush could do that would not result in ridicule from Fark?

He could make his daughter Barbara, wearing the Leia outfit from return of the Jedi, bring me a Schlotzky's warm sandwich and a sweet tea with instructions to explain what surge and withdrawl mean to middle America.

What a pathetic joke. If Bush and his cabinet were truly committed to winning in Iraq, we're going to need to at the very least triple the number of troops there.



General Shinseki told Bush and Rumsfeld during the planning stages of the war that it was going to take at least 500,000 troops to win. But Rummy & Bush, in their infinite wisdome, determined we should instead fight the war "on the cheap". Look where that got us.

We've already paid a lot in blood and billions of dollars for this war. If they were sincere about winning, lets triple the number of troops. Either you play to win, or don't play at all, but they need to make up their minds and stop wasting America's time. If we need to start a draft to do it, then lets think, should we be in Iraq? Is it worth starting a draft to win in Iraq? Because that's pretty much where we stand now.

President Bush: either shiat or get off the pot. Your dad knew what he was doing when planning the first Gulf War when he sent over half a million American troops. You, quite obviously, do not.

SchlingFo,

You are being serious here? Surely not. Myopic moranity of this caliber is surely beyond the grasp of a true Farker.

Come clean! You're a plant from NewsMax! They've constructed (with the aid of scientists...none that bothered to actually attend college) a post so inane, absurd and outright idiotic - so perfectly stupid - as to cause a flame war that can be seen from space.

Daft cunning of them!

President Bush's alternate plan for the war was, unfortunately, held back by well-meaning aides.

What?! Only pussies cut and run.

What a coward.

AlwaysRightBoy: I got an idea, why don't you libbies as congress to do something about this guy Bushie. and his little war.

Because their entire platform is "Bush is wrong".

They don't have any solutions to any problems, and if we pull out of Iraq, they have nothing left to biatch about.

Bush to reduce troop levels by 30,000 as first sign of walking away with his tail between his legs

To all those who criticize Bush for arrogantly making wrong decisions, the idea of changing his direction should cause you to invoke the HERO tag, not imply that he is a coward. You know, kind of in a Darth-Vader-overthrowing-the-Emporer kind of way.

We all make dumb mistakes that affect others. Admitting error and making ammends is cause for congratulations, not ridicule.

/Not that I think for a moment that this is the case.

JohnBigBootay: Now that the place has been completely destroyed old Bushy is gonna cut and run. Nice job georgie.

Haliburton does constructin work, right? :D

Iraq war in BASIC:

10 input "troops"
20 print "I declare major combat operations are over"
30 "troops"="troops"-30,000
40 //watch all hell break loose
50 //stay the course
60 let troops=troops+30,000
70 if "troops"-"deaths">0 then goto 20
80 goto 50

I don't understand why you people find this confusing.

We finally are starting to see the tangiable positive results of the surge that most people though would be worthless so now we can stop the surge even though the Iraqi forces aren't ready and no political reconciliation occured ("which was the point of the surge"...."no it wasn't"....."hey screw you pal!").

We can't leave totally of course. But obviously the US needs to remove the 30,000 troops that Bush claims were the key to turning things around.

It almost makes too much sense.

I think Bush finally made me go insane.

I might drink tonight. Alot.

It's fun watching conservatards biatch about what the libtards are biatching about. Nothing but a bunch of whiney biatches.

There's no hate like POLITICAL hate. Period.

/tards

construction, even.

Christ...I've been reading the transcripts from the president's speeches again...

TrevorP: No I'm pretty sure he's not winning actually. And yeah he does seem to lie a lot.

So, denial with no proof is the only argument you have.

I thought you Ivory Tower types were supposed to be good at looking through books to support your arguments.

To think that 30,000 troops is going to make any difference? Make it 300,000-400,00 more troops and then we'll see some actual progress.

There are still retards out there that believe any of this is news? Unless Bush wants to re-extend redeployments (again) to past 15 months, we JUST DON'T HAVE THE TROOPS to keep the escalation of forces up.

Isn't Bush "telling the enemy our strategy"?

Also, lowering troop levels to where they were in 2006 is no measure of success.

Poor, stupid Bush-loving Republicans. Who the fark cares about Iraq? I farking don't. And what the fark do Republicans know about "honor"... who gives a fark if we look stupid leaving Iraq. Better than being out $1 Trillion and 5000s GIs.

The surge/escalation was planned as a temporary increase that could not be sustained longer than a year.

Do people not know this?

SchlingFo: Christ almighty, you stupid farking libs!!

You whine and cry that the Surge isn't working and that we need to bring the troops home.

Then, GEN Petraeus provides evidence and testimony that the Surge is working. You whine and cry that he's lying and that he's just a White House puppet.

Now, President Bush has said, "The surge is working. If it continues to work, we're bringing our boys home." Now, you're whining and crying about that.

There's no farking pleasing you lib panty-waists. Would you be happy if everyone who wasn't a gun-grabbing nanny stater simply killed themselves with the plethora of weapons available in lieu of using a gun?

Awesome.

actually, reading the thread up to this post, i'd say the majority of the posts have been your post, in various forms. not a whole lot of any liberals whining... some saying that this isnt news, but none of them whining. but a hell of a lot of people saying "wow liberals quit your whining".

here's a tip for both sides. stop touting the party line for a few minutes and pay attention to what's actually happening.

Shaggy_C: Wow. Did you really just say that? czarangelus, I'm ashamed that you live in this country.

That's funny, I feel the same about you. Anyone who's still loyal to the DC Cabal, whether Democrat or Republican, is no Patriot to me.

The rest of your post was vapid polemic and requires no response.

Goodfella: To think that 30,000 troops is going to make any difference? Make it 300,000-400,00 more troops and then we'll see some actual progress.

I've been saying that since the start. Of course, that would have been a helluva sell to the public.

//WTF does a guy have to do to get a little farking respect?

He's so far beyond that point. Every other week yields another high ranking official resigning or being caught in some scandal. No one who's been paying attention trusts the man. The only way he could earn back some respect is go running into Iraq with an M16 and single handedly stop the insurgency.

You say "what does he have to do to get some respect" I say "too little, too late."

Does this mean we're finally going to invade Detroit?

SchlingFo: Because their entire platform is "Bush is wrong".
