Iraq: out of control. More dead every week. No end in sight. America seems tired of it.
Are we gonna pull a Vietnam withdrawel?

*Checks* I'm not wearing flares and I have a fashionable hair cut that doesn't require a neck brace, chances are it isn't 1974 again.

Though if it was George Bush could blame it on the boogie.

Don't blame it on Sunnis
Don't blame it on Shiites
Don't blame it on Kurds
Blame it on the bushie



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

I hear a lot of rhetoric about the dangers of Iran. Since we're already in the vicinity, maybe they'll simply send the troops next door. They can say they've withdrawn from Iraq. New war, new country, gain some new momentum. Has this been done before? Frogleaping from war to war?

War on Terrorism never ends. War on Communism lasted, what, a good 3-4 decades. We have a while to go.

lots of people have done it. Nazi Germany for instance.

Seems more like 1954 to me.

Or even 1984, the Orwell version.

That's like saying it is okay to loot that electronics store because a hurricane broke the front windows.
The Sunnis have been killing the Shiites and vice versa for a lot longer than Bush has been around. They are simply using the 'occupation' as an excuse to step up their efforts.
The Kurds, OTOH, seem to be outside of the sectarian violence for a change and seem to be happy to stay that way.

Posting to stir stuff up.

Oh right! So it's more like 1938!

Sunni and Shia? Didn't they once have a hit with "I Got You Babe"?
