Happy Christmas War is over (new window)

About damn time if ya ask me...

/Now, we got 70,000 spare jobs around somewhere?

bigpeeler: And just in time for Obama's re-election campaign to begin. Go figure.

Make up your minds! Do we give Bush credit for setting this final withdraw years ago, or is this an Obama publicity stunt. You can't have both.

Cool. When are we gonna leave Germany?

The last American troops crossed the border from Iraq into Kuwait early Sunday, ending the U.S. military presence there after nearly nine years.

Now there's a well-constructed lead.

Not only can we credit Bush for this and scold Obama for trying to take credit, this is also a terrible thing that Obama has done that will make our country less safe.

/you'll hear all of this in under an hour if you tune in to talk radio on Monday

This is bad news.... for Obama.

ShawnDoc: Weaver95: does this mean the GOP is going to go ballistic first thing Monday morning?

How could they go ballistic? The withdrawal of occupation forces is being done as per an agreement signed during the Bush Administration. The GOP would never attack Obama for something done by his predecessor.

Don't count on it. I'm sure somebody will find something wrong with it. And don't forget FOX News. It's just a matter of time before they start spewing out their usual wharrgarrbl.

Just ducking in and out before the weapons grade stupidity starts flying around. No matter who ended it, the end of something like this is always a good thing.

Would you do it all over again? Was it worth Tenet lying and getting Powell to go on national TV to talk about WMD's so we could spend $800 billion and lose thousands of lives to kill Saddam and keep France and Russia from violating the terms of the oil for food program? I hope so, but how the fark would I know?

War will never be over.

It's far too profitable.

That's OK. Just as soon as Bachmann, Santorum, or any of the other guys except for RON PAUL get elected as the next Republican president, we're going to be right back over there in 20 more wars because SHARIALAWISLAMTERRISTS judging from the last debate.

As much as I dislike RON PAUL, the farking Dominionist retards farking scare the shiat out of me. I really hope RON PAUL gets the nomination. Otherwise, if we get a Republican president, I'm going to Canada, Mexico, or Costa Rica.

Old news.

Morning?

No snark. Welcome home, each and every one of you.

Go?

Indeed. Their typical body language resembles that of an Angry Bird played by an 8 year old tweaker. Their umbrage is gold plated and monogrammed. I'm just waiting for cancer to be cured so I can hear them accusing Obama of making doctors homeless.

I'm glad we're out of there. Once we went in it was our responsibility to stabilize the place. That's been done as well as is realistically possible. If we stayed longer, it would have been to protect US contractors. Hell, no! Any politician complaining is being squeezed by a lobbyist. Screw 'em!

Bullshiat.

There's 16,000 folks manning a "U.S. Embassy" that had more concrete poured into it than the friggin' Pentagon, as well as several other spots in Iraq. 5,000 of them are mercs.

The "war" isn't over. The occupation isn't even over. We're still going to blow $3.5 billion a year to keep a "U.S. Embassy" open in a single country, run by the State Department.
