So if Bush* puts American Forces under UN Control what will the Freepers
Do/say? Will they still think Bush*'s Shit doesn't stink? That was there biggest concern during Clinton's Presidency. They don't want US troops under any authority other than US and consider it treasonous to do so. From a thread in LBN it sounds like that is just what Bush* is now contemplating for Iraq. It should be interesting to watch their heads spin like a top

2. they'll rationalize it somehow
"visionary leadership" recognizing the need for international involvement or some such tripe.

This isn't about principle. They have none.

3. Oh, they'll say it was the right thing to do
and that Bush had impeccable timing.

Their hypocrisy has no bounds.

5. Plan is not UN control ---- it is for Nato Control - we still are anti-UN
Bush needs at least a little victory over the enemy - the UN

9. NATO "control" under a U.S. Commander
I can't even imagine Bush agreeing anything else.

Even the guys on Fox are going to have a hard time selling that as a transfer of control with a straight face.

So, we will have the U.S./Brit forces still on the ground, under (effectively) the same controls, with our hand picked folks running the show.

6. WHO CARES
Why do we ask what the freepers will do? It's like asking what my Dog's reaction is going to be. Just leave the animals alone in their dirty cages and move on.

7. Absolutely- they're racist nutcases...
Turn them in to the Police when they break thelaw, but otherwise leave the bottom-feeders to their inbreed ways.

8. Actually a lot will turn on President Bush I think.
The "Black Helicopter" crowd will buy the idea that President Bush has betrayed America by letting this go forward. But the more mainstream ones will just say something to the effect of "Wasn't this what you democrats wanted?"
