How a Freeper explains being wrong on Iraq
Edited on Sun Nov-12-06 09:13 PM by Autonomy
I'll start with the standard disclaimer: I don't usually do this, but...

I'm all for investigations, not only will we uncover the leaker of Classified information to the NYT I think in review of the history of this war to date, it appears that the Democrats sure did put a lot of bank into things going bad in Iraq. Starting with the 04 campaign season in fact, starting shortly after we had taken Baghdad. How could they possibly know things were going to deteriorate? The highly successful major combat operations were over within days, Saddam and most of his cronies were captured or killed and our Generals started to move forward with a reconstruction plan. Are the Democrats such good prognosticators that they figured out Iraq would become in John Kerry's words (Beirut) or did they use an old tried and true trick, you know the one, the same one that Ted Kennedy tried to use against Reagan, by coordinating with the KGB. Only this time those clairvoyant liberals coordinated with Al-Sadr or Ahmadnijad. Should investigations be held? Do we have terrorists in the midst of Congress?

ROFLMFAO. This is the funniest post I have EVER read! How did we know Iraq would deteriorate? Learning from history and putting 2 and 2 together is impossible; we must have caused the deterioration with a secret plan to undermine Bush by allying with terrorists!

Hey, dipshit, EVERYONE WITH AT LEAST TWO FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELLS KNEW IRAQ WOULD END UP A MESS. YOU DIDN'T NEED A DOCTORATE IN FOREIGN POLICY. YOU DIDN'T NEED ANY INSIDE INFO. I knew it was an intractable fiasco in the making, and that's why I was against the war from the beginning. Asshat. I tried to tell as many of you as I could before the war, but you didn't listen. But that couldn't be it. I must be in contact with Al Qaeda. Definitely.

1. Someone needs to explain to this idiot
that Poppy Bush and the new Sec of Defense predicted the same quagmire we did.

2. Um, even Cheney did, during Poppy's administration, in his own words.

3. Maybe they were listening when Cheney said,
“Once you’ve got Baghdad, it’s not clear what you do with it. It’s not clear what kind of government you would put in place of the one that’s currently there.... How much credibility is that government going to have if it’s set up by the United States military when it’s there?.... I think to have American military forces engaged in a civil war inside Iraq would fit the definition of quagmire, and we have absolutely no desire to get bogged down in that fashion.”

4. I thought that everybody knew that Iraq would turn into a mess.
You would have to have been a total dumb ass to believe otherwise.

5. How did he find out we were "coordinating with the KGB"?
Damn it, that was supposed to be a secret. What time is it in Moscow? I am going to call up Svetlana and give her a piece of my mind. Who leaked our super double secret plan?

6. "How could they possibly know things were going to deteriorate?"
Duh, gee....maybe by examining the history of the region and noting the other failed attempts at occupation and/or colonization.

Plenty of that sort of thing went on here, in the months before the chimp invaded.

12. I think the question we've all been asking is...
How could anyone in a position of repsonsibility and power NOT KNOW what was obvious to so many ahead of time. Of course, having a plan might have helped a little.
