The easiest way to withdraw our troops & get out of this mess in Iraq
There IS no easy.

We simply got ourselves into another mess, thanks to Bush and Cheney's lies, and there is no easy way out, now that we're in there.

No one is going to vote anytime soon on any major form of withdrawal because politicians are more concerned with how we'll be perceived if we "abandoned" what we set out to do. Some of them also worry that thousands of Iraqis might be left out for slaughter if we left. We are in this unwinnable mess over our heads because Bush made this about "freedom and democracy", once he failed to come up with his imaginary WMD's.

Do you wanna know why this coward of an incompetent president, George W Bush, is so stubborn about "staying the course"?

It's not because he gives a shit about our troops. It's not because he cares if thousands more Iraqis die after we leave, either. It's not because he gives a rat's ass about freedom and democracy in Iraq. He knows damn well that any form of a withdrawal points the finger of blame right where it belongs.....right square at him...and he's not man enough to accept that. He'd rather see thousands more innocent people die, including his own people, than to take an ounce of blame upon his own shoulders. That's why there will be no withdrawal or about-face under his tenure, unless there's some kind of an all-out congressional revolt. He'll do anything to "stay the course" in order to avoid being branded the failure that he is.

When it comes to Iraq...when it comes to our "mission" being a failure...when it comes to a single additional person dying over there....the buck falls right on his feet where it belongs.

George W Bush is one sick FAILURE of a human being and an embarrassment to all mankind in the most pathetic kind of way.

1. We are not leaving.
It's from where we will conduct operations in Syria and Iran.

2. Remember Jerry Bremer?
He used to head the Coalition Provisional Authority. Last January, a few days BEFORE the SCHEDULED date, in a quiet and discreet ceremony, he turned the country over to a handful of pre-approved Iraqi "officials." Seemed pretty easy to me!

3. The Mess In Iraq
The Bush Crime Syndicate as well as the GOP are chicken hawks and thieves. Just as long as their love ones are not asked to pay the ultimate price and serve their country; sending people to their deaths means absolutely nothing to them. These guys are not americans, they are 21st Century NAZI's plan and simple.

4. Bush And Cheney Are Military Geniuses.........
they intended from the start to make Iraq a 'quagmire' with no way out. This is exactly what they wanted. A perpetual war with no end. This is exactly the position they wanted to put us into.

"Mission Accomplished"

5. It doesn't even go that deep--it's all about $$$
They (the people that *count*) are making a killing.

Read the Bush empire by Kevin Phillips--this bush family has financed itself with weapons sales since WW1

He was installed in office to take the money and run.
