http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19723307/
then I'll be one of the Americans to stand up and say I DONT WANT THEM PULLED OUT YET!:mad:
CALLS FOR PEACE AND APPEASEMENT IN A TIME OF TERROR AND MURDER
ARE THE BECKONING"S OF COWARDICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:
Those Troops Took the same oath I did :
"I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." they knew the day they stood in the Meps station
and got their physical, took their ASFAB test, and swore in that they just commited themselves VOLUNTARILY!!!
Surrender , appeasment& Cowardice has never been nor will it ever be in the Creed of any of our 5 distinguished branches of service!
so lemme ask you something ,
Have you EVER served in a forward deployed Combat unit
of any branch of service ? based on your remarks and posting's
I'm guessing no! the closest you have gotten to ANY kind of combat
was late night hours spent playing warcraft !:rolleyes: :mad:

No surprise here Tink. What did you expect the commie dems to do? Actually stand up and support America and freedom. The Democrats have only supported winning a war when we were fighting Germany in both world wars. They never supported winning the war in Korea or Vietnam because we were fighting their friends the communists. They won't support America in war or in peace. We are too capitalist for there taste and we need to be punished for not giving all our wealth to the rest of the world and apologizing for being rich. We also should tax our corporations to the point of bankruptcy. Yeah we all knew the dems would stap our troops in the back in Iraq just like they did in Korea and Vietnam.

Ok tink, so we have a few turncoats in our ranks. Senator Joe Lieberman a Democrat supports the war so there is one Democrat who stands up for America. We used to have a lot of pro American Democrats back in the 50's & 60's but they are all gone and they were nearly all from the South.

If you had to choose, which is more important to you personally, for Iraq to suceed and establish a stable Iraq or for U.S. troops to get out of Iraq?
5/15-16/07
Succeed 34%
Get out 46%
Both 16%
Unsure 3%
Even with this loaded question, the numbers are in favor of withdrawal.

Contrary to what you’ve read in the newspapers, we are not debating whether to ‘change course’ in Iraq. We are debating whether to accept defeat in Iraq. Contrary to what you’ve seen on television, there is no way for us to ‘end the war.’ If we retreat from Iraq, the war will not just continue but expand. The only difference is that a battlefield on which we are now killing our enemies will be transformed into a base from which our enemies can safely plan to kill us. Yes, it’s disappointing that the American-backed government in Baghdad has not yet met its ‘benchmarks’ for enacting political and economic reforms. Iraqi politicians have failed to pass laws dividing oil revenue among the country’s main population groups; excluding fewer Ba’athists from obtaining government jobs; and scheduling provincial elections in areas where Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds are competing for power. But let’s get serious: Passing such laws is no longer our primary goal in Iraq. What is? Preventing al-Qa’ida (and/or Iran’s radical mullahs) from defeating us on what they call the ‘central front’ of the global war being waged against America and the West. Should they beat us in Iraq, they will be seen as giant killers. Recruits will pound on their doors. What would our enemies do next? No need to guess. Al-Qa’ida leaders have vowed that after they ‘expel the Americans from Iraq’ they will launch a ‘jihad wave to the secular countries neighboring Iraq’

Whec and Ihatton:
You guys need to understand something about Geer: He is here for comic relief, he said so in a post last fall. His sole purpose is to practice manipulating folks. You are not going to get him to believe this or that, because he does not believe anything. He is just argueing to see if he can win the arguement. He really has no political position, he only argues. Watch him carefully from the sidelines as he argues with someone else; he will take any position to see if he can goad them into making a fool of themselves... and then claim how smart he is. He reminds me of the sig line of the penguin: something about wressling with a pig, and realizing the pig enjoys the mud... That is why I have him on my ignore list. And if the rest of us would do that also, he would go away... because what he wants here is attention (just like tinker). Take that away, and he will go away... And we can have some discussions that lead to intelligent resolutions.
As far as congress voting to leave Iraq:
1) The dems are scared to the point of pooping in their pants that they will inherit the war in 2008... They have NO idea how to fight a war, because all they know how to do is kiss up to goofy misfits to buy votes.
2) Bush will veto any of their congressional bills anyhow, and there are NOT 60 votes in the senate to over-ride a veto... and everyone (except geer and Tinker) knows it. Well, Geer probably knows it also, but Geer will argue anything just to argue... that is the only thing he is here for.
SOOO Looks like nothing more than posturing to me... :cool:

Concerning Iraq:
IMO the best solution to Iraq would be to divide it into 3 countries for the three ethnic groups. Then there would be no excuse to not 'get on with life'. And since the Kurds re so friendly to the USA, we need to build our military presence in the Kurdish region. Then if the others do not like things, they can fight it out on their land... We just sit back and watch (carrying a big stick if they get too loud).
Those folks over there remind me of a bunch of spoiled kids in grade school who will not listen... So how do you deal with the playground bully???

Who gets the oil? They all three do, in their regions... And they can learn to get along with each other, or fight it out (like they are doing now).
As for Turkey: They want into the EU bad enough that they will play along if they are told to make peace with the Kurds.
Personally, I would like to see a Kurdish country that included a little of SE Turkey, a little of NW Iran, and a slice of N Syria (all the way to the Med Sea). Nice country, large enough to be a formidable force to recon with, and a GREAT place IMO for the USA to have a permanent presence in the ME (and I am sure we all know that the US WILL have a permanent presence there).
You may ask where do I get the idea of re-drawing the lines in the ME? It has been done repeatedly by super-powers in the past, study your history books.
Ah yes, the playground bully. Yeah he beats you up and takes your lunch money (or your new coat until the teacher tells him to give it back). But why does he do this? Because he craves the POWER over other folks (in reality he usually has in inferiority complex and takes it out on others)! And IMO a geopolitical bully like Saddaam (or that idiot in Iran) is really no different. And what do you do with a playground bully in grade school? The proper authorities must deal with him or everyone is miserable. In the case of geopolitical playgrounds the USA is the police-person of the world, so we get the wonderful (not) duty of dealing with idiots like Saddaam (and the problem of cleaning up the mess).
I will tell you this though: I would much rather live in the country of the police-person than the country of the bully! Which one would you rather live in?

Not to mention it is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. We joked about going back on a vacation there sometime if everything ever settled down. The mountains and meadows are absolutely stunning in Northern Iraq, some of which I have never seen the likes of anywhere else.

Contrary to what you’ve seen on television, there is no way for us to ‘end the war.’ If we retreat from Iraq, the war will not just continue but expand.It has been expanding since day one.
The only difference is that a battlefield on which we are now killing our enemies will be transformed into a base from which our enemies can safely plan to kill us. Perhaps you missed the National Intelligence Estimate that was released this week.
"Iraq has strengthened al Qaeda which will seek to leverage the contacts and capabilities gained in the war." "Al qaeda association with al Qadea in Iraq (AQI) helps to energize the broader Sunni extemeist community and recruit and indoctrinate operatives."
Yes, it’s disappointing that the American-backed government in Baghdad has not yet met its ‘benchmarks’ for enacting political and economic reforms. Iraqi politicians have failed to pass laws dividing oil revenue among the country’s main population groups; excluding fewer Ba’athists from obtaining government jobs; and scheduling provincial elections in areas where Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds are competing for power. But let’s get serious: Passing such laws is no longer our primary goal in Iraq. Ah, you should let Bush and Condi in on your novel hypothesis. They seem to feel, as does most of the rest of the world that a stable, functioning Iraq government is critical to success in Iraq.
Perhaps you know something they don't.
Recruits will pound on their doors. That is already happening and has been happening for years.
What would our enemies do next? No need to guess. Al-Qa’ida leaders have vowed that after they ‘expel the Americans from Iraq’ they will launch a ‘jihad wave to the secular countries neighboring Iraq’ Al-qaeda makes up a small portion of the insugency according to military estimates. If the U.S. is expelled it will be because of the Sunni/Shia civil war quagmire.
According again to the NIE, "Al Qaeda has regenerated key elements of its Homeland attack capability, including a safehaven in the Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas. (FATA)"

Professor geer, perhaps you could all enlighten us with one of your Manhattan Project sized "efforts" to better solutions to the war. You know so much.:rolleyes: Oh let us know, oh commie one. What is the better way?:pHmmmm.............. Deja Vu all over again.
I could have sworn you asked and I answered the very same question a few days ago.
Possibly your memory could benefit from an increase of vegetables to your diet.

Yes Mr Geer the almighty of knoweldge: You always know when someone is wrong, tell us what is right... (if you can)... :D
BTW Geer: I know what the NIE brief was about, do you?Yes.
Let us have your analysis and let's see if it bears even a scant relationship to the real NIE.

Contrary to what you've read in the newspapers, we are not debating wheter to 'change coarse' in Iraq. We are debating whether to accept defeat in Iraq. Contrary to what you've seen on television, there is no way for us t 'end the war'. If we retreat from Iraq, the war will not just continue but expand. The only difference is that a battlefield on which we are now killing our enemies will be transformed into a base from which our enemies can safely plan to kill us. Yes, it's diappointing that the American-backed government in Bagdad has not yet met it's 'benchmarks' for enacting political and economic reforms. Iraqi politicians have to pass laws dividing oil revenueamong the country's main population groups; excluding fewer Ba'athists from obtaining government jobs; and scheduling provincial elections in areas where Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds are competing for power. But let's get serious: Passing such laws is no longer our primary goal in Iraq. What is ? Preventing al-Qa'ida/mullahs from defeating us on what they call the central front'of the global war being waged against America and the West. Should they beat us in Iraq, they will be seen as giant killers. Recruits will pound on their doors .Would would our enemies do next ? No need to guess. Al-Qa'ida haved vowed that after they 'expel the Americans from Iraq' they will launch a 'jihad wave to the secular countries neighboring Iraq'. Clifford May

Even more pitiful is that you forget your own posts. http://www.abestweb.com/smilies/rotflol.gif

That is a clever bit of writing.

Yeah good job addressing his points(/sarcasm). Maybe its because deep down you know how stupid pulling our troops out of Iraq would be. Even the democrats in congress only dangle the possibility of troop withdrawal to sucker mindless appeasement driven schlubs like yourself into voting for them. The Iraqi government has achieved more of their benchmarks than the newly elected democratic congress achieved in their promise of a first 100 days of action.

What I find interesting about these 'high minded liberals' is what would happen if one (or more) of them were on the business end of a terrorist rifle (not the trigger pulling end). Wonder if all that hot air they keep pumping out would stop the little high velocity bits of lead coming their way?
In Geer's case, he just may have enough hot air to scare a bullet away... :D probably melt it. But multiple bullets... no, we would have to find another goofy liberal to laugh at.

Hell, I think Geer's parents sent him to Karl Marx Academy for gifted young Marxists. He is a true believer in the cause and nothing not nothing will convince him that there is ever anything wrong on the Socialist side (liberal Democrats). He is very dedicated to the cause as good as any Communist Commissar I have ever seen He has a robotic stance to defend the cause to the bitter end. James called him Robotech I think. Something like that anyhow.

You wound me sir.
The Karl Marx Academy is nothing more than running dog criminal capitalists who betrayed the revolution.
I am a proud graduate of the Mao Tse-tung School for Advanced Revolutionaries and Herbal Medicine College.

I expect the Iraqi government needs that month long August vacation to rest up after such a flurry of non-success.
Too bad our troops don't get a vacation from being shot and blown up while defending the Iraqi government.

You make a good observation of Geer and his dedication to argueing.
But as I posted in another thread: Geer has no loyalty to anything but Geer. He starts arguements just to argue and see if he can goad someone into making a fool of themselves, then Geer toots his horn about how great Geer is.
Reminds me of a seasoned trial lawyer (or a politician). They are only interested in promoting themselves. And they have no scruples about how they do it.
I would not be surprised but when conservative gets back in style, Geer will argue with liberals. Geer is all about winning arguements, NOTHING MORE.
