Sorta. When Kerry provided proof of the lies, Pickens reneged. So the money is still there, but it's no longer an award for proving the lies. It's just an embarrassing reminder of the swift boaters' dishonesty.

Yeah, I think I accused UT of using Radar as a sock puppet after leaving the party. Sorry. He convinces noone, but alienates many.

Not only will he end the ILLEGAL / UNCONSTITUTIONAL war in Iraq, he will have a Democratic Congress behind him. He will have no obstacles to prevent him from doing everything he has said he would do.

In much the same way George W. Bush had a Republican Congress for 6 years, he can pretty much get anything he wants. The only difference is Bush and Cheney wanted to fuck America and destroy it, and Obama wants to repair their damage.

now that's just ignorant. he'll have NO OBSTACLES?!? he's a fucking politician. the biggest obstacle will always be the question "will this give me more or less power?" he'll make noises about the war and change some things around but in the end he will go about he same basic plan on the same basic schedule.

Radar NO ONE who is halfway competent/connected enough to get near public office would even consider just picking the troops up, bringing them home, and saying "sorry folks, our bad". it won't happen.

NOBODY who is competent or intelligent would have sent the troops to Iraq in the first place. Obama will be able to bring the troops back without any help from anyone in Congress. As president, all he has to do is order it.

It will happen. Not only should he bring them back, he should apologize to the people of Iraq for George W. Bush starting an unwarranted, unprovoked, and unconstitutional war of aggression against them.

They will be free to determine their own destiny at that point.

It will happen.

are you really this naive in real life, or is it just your internet persona?

Not at all. They were free to determine their own destiny before we ever went there. The destiny they had chosen was to have Saddam Hussein rule them. If they wanted something else, they could have overcome Saddam and his forces without any help from America.

You guys should put both prediction on the Cellar's calendar.

I see another one of Radar's predictions on the calendar is coming up in a week and a half.

So by June or July of 2010 all American troops will be out of Iraq? I'll lay $1000 to you and only you right now to put up or shut up. UT can hold the money till then and earn the interest for the tip mug.





Psst - investors welcome.

This whole thread by Radar and his links and comments are just laughable. I don't see why you waste time responding to this BS.
