Congress pulling the plug on Iraq would be the best outcome for Bush...

[European Socialist]

because he could blame the bloody aftermath on someone else. How come the evil genius Rove doesn't see it.

[Neocondriac]

1. We......err.....they....

are building bases in Iraq. WE AREN'T LEAVING....EVER!!!!!

[donsu]

6. right! the bushgang never planned to leave and will not leave unless

forced to. they are not building the largest embassy in the world in the Green Zone for nothing. that embassy will be where they rule the mideast from.

[Avalux]

2. They can't pull the plug.

They're in a catch 22 - they can't admit defeat and they can't win. What a pickle they've got themselves in! :rofl:

[Breeze54]

5. Not sure why your laughing...?

:rofl: ????

I don't find it funny with Total US KILLED IN IRAQ.....2082

NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS, AT ALL!

Gheesh.....

[Avalux]

7. I'm laughing at Bushco's quandry.

I want them to bring everyone home now - but I know they won't because it goes against every step they've taken over the past 5 years. They know that if they admit a mistake and pull out of Iraq, the neocon plan will be stymied, their base will turn against them and it won't make any of us go to their side.

Best case scenario - we win Congress back in 2006 and force their sorry asses to do what we say.

I wasn't laughing at this war or those who've lost their lives, sorry if you took it that way. :hi:

10. Appreciate the

explanation.

I understand what you are saying.
I say take back both houses and IMPEACH the CHIMP!
I think Bush & Co. would all look good in stripes!

[spindrifter]

3. Plus, what would

H*burton, Bl*ckwater and all those other profiteers do? leave with their backpacks of cash?

[endarkenment]

4. That is exactly how they played vietnam.

Read the fascist rewrite of that history. Everything was going just fine until the Democratic congress pulled the plug in '75 and sold out the brave vietnamese people to the evil commies.

You know what? I don't care. I didn't care then and I don't care now. We americans have a moral responsibility to end our illegal and immoral war against and occupation of Iraq. If the price of ending that war is a further slide into fascism at home here, that is a price I am willing to pay, that is a price we all must accept. Our first ethical obligation is to stop the harm we are doing to others.

[cliss]

8. Your post

is printable. I absolutely agree with you. No matter what the outcome, no matter how high the price, we really need to get out of Iraq.

We must stop harming others. This country will fall if we don't take care of this immediately.

[Jacobin]

9. That is how this will end

And you are right. Dems will be blamed for 'losing the war'.

Fine, blame away.

The public knows now that its another unwinnable quagmire.

[Yupster]

11. That's fine with me as long as we

get the Iraqis who have worked with us and their families out of the country before we leave.

It's reprehensible to train them to fight our way. Our very, very expensive way, and then cut off their money and wish them luck.

We trained the Cambodian Army to fight, and fight they did. They fought until they didn't have fuel to fly a helicopter or drive an ambulance, and they still fought the Khmer Rouge right into Phnom Penh. Then when they gave up they were summarily executed if they ever fought on our side.

The Iraqis deserve better than that.

If we're gonna leave, we have to take them with us because the guys who will take over once we leave will do what the Khmer Rouge did to our allies, but they will do it live on tv.
