Oh, I can tell the difference between an insurgency and an invasion just fine, thank you very much. And I don't hold blockheaded opinions of your sort, Bruce m'boy, now or ever. It's part of seeing to it that I am not a putz, nor likely to become one. When Bruce's opinions add up to rose fertilizer, don't expect me to share many of them.

You, Bruce, cannot hold a even a slightly lowered estimation of my intelligence except through great efforts of intellectual dishonesty. And what a waste of time that is. It is, I reckon, driven by the sorry ideology you find a satisfactory chart for your life's road. I would not find it so; leftist anti-right-ism is rooted in jealousy towards the talented and well-advised. The thoughts of invidious, collectivist, thieving shitbirds have no part with me, and I don't mind saying so.

You think I'm on the wrong road? You've never shown two important things to sustain that: where my road is "wrong," nor where your road is in any wise righter. What's more, I doubt you have anything to offer on either. Hemipygian. And all your gratuitous sneers cannot change any of that. You are simply not, and never shall be, superior enough to get that kind of thing done. I do not yield to the misguided.

Be sure and tell Petraeus he's wrong, next time he calls you for advice and consent. :rolleyes:

Having massively reduced the Iraqi standard of living in his seven months, then Bremmer cut out of town - secretly. Leaving a massive insurgency in Iraq that killed most of the 4,400 American soldiers. Your right. It took a very long seven months to create that insurgency.
