There were no WMD's and it wasn't a terrorist haven [although it is now] nor is it a place for vampires to spend their tired days. Is it really true as Skip and some maintain that we are there to "enrich the pot makers and glue makers?" (Thx MD)<br><br>So, if not that, why in the hell do we stay? What do we win, if we win, which we won't? Is it all about "ein volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer"? Does Bush really think he is the annointed "leader" of this benighted country? Is it his destiny to lead Mesopotamia into the promised land? You know: the land of Bush, bullshit, and broken dreams?<br><br>Finally, it is true that the death of Saddam H. will do nothing to further the cause of the "causer" a.k.a. the "decider". All it will do is inflame the wound and spread the infection.

It says more about who the executioners are than the convicted. <br><br>It won't help Iraq.

What happened to "Stay the Course"? What happened to every other line that we have been fed. <br><br>Why are we giving the President a pass while he meets with others. He is not learning anything new. He is not hearing anything novel. He is not meeting with newly discovered experts or sources.<br><br>He is waiting. He is delaying. He is stalling. He is abdicating. For as long as he can. His speechwriters need all the time they can get. After all, it isn't easy to come up with "Surge and Release" as the new catch phase. <br><br>Personnally, I like "Ebb and Flow." But I wasn't asked. (Ebb before flow, of course....) <br><br>With the delay, Bush will now be able to build/reiterate the new catch phrase in both his "uber-speech" and the follow-up State of the Union. If there is too much time between the speeches -- if, say, Bush had given his big speech in mid-December -- the press would have calmed down well before the SofTU and his latest spin would lose momentum.Edgar Newtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-86430955310566765982006-12-29T10:53:00.000-08:002006-12-29T10:53:00.000-08:00If George Bush had consulted George Washington for...If George Bush had consulted George Washington for advice, he would have been told that all his various schemes for Iraq were "<i><b><a href="http://getting-out-of-iraq.blogspot.com/2006/12/george-washington-on-george-bush.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">founded on Malice, Absurdity, and Error</a></b></i>".Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02995427860718464314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-84061373209723088482006-12-29T08:59:00.000-08:002006-12-29T08:59:00.000-08:00My mom had a bunch of different names for what is ...My mom had a bunch of different names for what is generally called now hamburger helper but it always tasted the same.

Then a hierarchy of other special interest groups , that have enjoyed , good times , to the max with our destruction of Iraq , and Iraq`s society. <br>Bush probably took all that 'Whore of Babylon' stuff seriously , when he was going to his Bible Class Study , that his inner circle also almost all attend. <br>Dry drunk anyone.?
