Of course not. His point cannot be seen down the barrel of a rifle.

We want you to be independant, but we have these "benchmarks" here that are mandatory.

09-18-2007, 04:44 PM

Exactly.
Yaaaayyyyy you voted your own government in so we can go now... waiiiit a min. we don't like these guys... (plus we have not secured this oil we came for)

Undertoad · 09-18-2007, 04:51 PM

We stay until the vote is more powerful than the mobsters.

Oh, let me put that in a way you understand.

We stay until the vote is more powerful than the mobsters, LOL!!!

09-18-2007, 04:52 PM

We don't do that here.
So it never ends I guess.

Flint · 09-18-2007, 04:52 PM

What if they keep voting for mobsters?!

09-18-2007, 04:53 PM

In truth, the min. we secure the oil fields in western hands we are out of there, except for a perimeter around the oil district.

If they throw out Blackwater, they've actually stood up. Then we should be able to blow the joint, yes?

It will never happen. They need them. They could be replaced but I somehow doubt it.

Zing!

Urbane Guerrilla · 09-21-2007, 03:58 AM

Not zing. Tw cannot zing me on his best day. He can, however, blather.

TheMercenary · 09-21-2007, 08:06 PM

The bottom line is this. Most of what comes out of Daily Kos is crap. They are a mouth piece for Soros and the Huffington assholes.

Given that, going into Iraq was a huge frigging mistake and I said so from day one to my wife as we sat in a food establishment on vacation as it went down. I was still on active duty. I remember distinctly telling my wife that they had better be sure that WMD's exist or we were going to lose a bunch of folks for no good reason. When we took the eye off the ball, Afghanistan, we began the slow spiral losing the game in the long run. We are stuck now. We have bought much of it with our blood. So here are the options, tell me what you would do:

1) Pull out, lock stock and barrel and accept the ascension of Iran into the Iraqi power struggle and impending genocide of the Suni by the Shia, and potentially the invasion of Kurdistan by the Turks and possibly the Iranians and potentially a separate genocide.

2) Stay and try to help keep the place stabilized losing more Americans in the mean time with no end in sight. All the while continuing to poor money into the pit of corruption of Iraqi officials and big business interests.

Who is lurxst? Is he George Soros? Is he a member of the Huffington Post? Or is he a random guy on the internet who put up a provocative title to attract eyes to his one out of thousands of diaries that scroll down the side of the page?

And more importantly, how was his article received? His tip jar got more than twice as many downvotes as upvotes, and only four people recommended the diary.

What point are you trying to make with that example?
