1. Petraues need not concern himself with such a question

Junior Officers, Captains and Majors will be Generals when our troops start coming home in any realtistic numbers if bush has his way. Ignorance, arrogance, death, destruction, lack of justification for war - all conservative values.

2. I'm sick of the runaround these guys are giving. Isn't the surge or lack of

one all about when the soldiers come home and this illegal occupation ends?

[BOSSHOG]

3. the surge is nothing more then a device

to give bush six more months and then they'll be another scam for another six months and then eventually bush will be on his way to Paraguay. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing. He wanted to land on an aircraft (as a passenger) while many Americans would then think of him as manly. That mission accomplished. And as for george dubya bush, that is all there is. And conservatives in America do not care one iota about our kids dying because they are too busy being too proud to admit they have been wrong from long before day one of this fiasco.

I know I blather on Sis, but I'm blind with rage about what "conservatives" do each and every day to so many institutions in America.

I still break out in song every time I see one of your wonderful and informative posts.

4. So basically..

The chart shows that when/if troops are taken out of Iraq, the number of troops remaining will be less.
Amazing what they can do with color printers and tax dollars these days.

7. Welcome to DU!

I don't believe this guy can keep a straight face pushing such a pile of bollocks. He would have made a great salesman.

6. I've seen that chart before! Ronald Reagan used it!

That's the chart he used to show the effect his proposed tax cuts would have on the deficit! I'm positive!

It looked JUST like that!
/:sarcasm:

And we all know how accurate THAT chart was, don't we? (*cough*tripled the national debt*cough)


Cleek's found another use for the chart, but much more fun:

8. K&R 02/01/05 "CNN" -- -- Larry King Live - Interview with President Carter

02/01/05 "CNN" -- -- Larry King Live - Interview with President Carter
Partial Transcript "KING: Do you support the Iraq war?"

CARTER: "No, I haven't supported it from the very beginning. In fact, I wrote a major, I thought it was a major editorial in "The New York Times" a few months before we invaded Iraq pointing out that it was an unnecessary and unjust war and the editorial was repeated on full page ads in a lot of other newspapers.

So, I've always been against the war. But once we got there, obviously we need to give our young men and women our absolute and full support, so I'm not in favor of an immediate withdrawal. I think we ought to decide as a nation that we will turn over as quickly as possible not only the military responsibilities to the Iraqi people but also let them manage their own economic affairs.

I don't think we have any idea now of turning over their oil supplies and let them handle who gets to manage the oil, like even France and Russia and I hope we'll back off and let them run their own political affairs.

But, what I believe is that there are people in Washington now, some of our top leaders, who never intend to withdraw military forces from Iraq and they're looking for ten, 20, 50 years in the future...

KING: Why?

CARTER: ...having major American military board -- well, because that was the reason that we went into Iraq was to establish a permanent military base in the Gulf region and I have never heard any of our leaders say that they would commit themselves to the Iraqi people that ten years from now there will be no military bases of the United States in Iraq.

9. Getting into the mind of B*sh and Betrayus:...2+2=5...actually the hypotenuse

of the perpendicular occlusion of the compound fracture = a paraplegic or perhaps a few million harmlessly maimed human beings to say nothing of the million dead innocent Iraqi's who of course do not exist. To prove a point I have this exhibit.... this parrot is not really dead, if you hold it thus...if you pin its feathers just so. We did not cause this mayhem, if mayhem in fact exists, for oil if oil in fact really exists. We are bringing this country If this country actually exists, freedom and wonderment. Let me sum up; Lie+lie+lieX2 to the billionth=truth. of course it is all relative when you look at life through a rose colored martini...to have an arm or not to have an arm or a life, an arm or leg or arms and legs not to mention the innocent Iraqi's who again do not exist as proven by this dead parrot exhibit where you must assume the parrot is really alive. Am I making any sense here?

10. When we've stolen all their oil. That's when they'll come home.

Simple!!

11. So the chart means absolutely nothing.

There's no time line, just an ever decreasing amount of soldiers until it flatlines. Those could be 25 year intervals. And the American public is going to look at that official looking chart and say, "see Martha, Bush is going to bring all the troops home soon. I hope our boy Waldo is back by Thanksgiving". :eyes:

They lie, then lie upon that lie and then lie again. The lies never stop. :banghead:

MoveOn was correct. Betrayus IS a Bush ass-kissing political hack! :grr:
