Quote from: tower912 on May 04, 2007, 12:37:02 PMPolitical deal? But, this administration is opposed to making deals (fake shock) It is amusing to see the conservatives playing that ridiculous "liberal media" card as their hero's approval ratings approach DJ's 3 point shooting percentage. If the media had done it's job in the lead-up to war, investigating outlandish claims and expressing skepticism about power instead of competing to see who could be the most jingoistic, in their orgiastic rush to war, the country would be better for it today. Instead, they kept trying to out "fox news" each other and turned a complete blind eye to alternative, ultimately more accurate, assessments.Tower, I know ZERO conservatives who believe Bush is their hero. Why? Because Bush isn't conservative.Now, you can play Monday Morning QB all you like with the war, but I have one simple question for you. What do you think will happen if we pull out of Iraq?

Yes, Murf, how silly of me, April being the deadliest month of the year for US troops is a clear sign that the surge is working. How could I ever have doubted?

What's wrong with being humble? And like I said before there is a terrorist group in Northern Ireland that is much worse than Al Quida... do we attack them? no, what about Darfur, and all the problems in Africa, do we try to solve those? No, the only reason why Bush went to Iraq was for oil and to end what his dad couldn't (I know it was due to the UN, see Bush Sr. actually listened to the UN)
Chico, I addressed your question with an honest proposal. Typical Republican lie, claiming I didn't answer your question. However, I don't guarantee my proposal would work. But at least it is a plan with clear goal in mind. Still waiting for one from this administration. The one with the 28% approval rating.
Chaos, which we have now. Training ground for islamic extremists, which we have now. No oil revenue for the foreseeable future, which we have now. Growing Irani influence, which we have now. Ever increasing sectarian violence, wwhn. A big stinking pile of problems, wwhn. I don't know that my proposed solution will work. But it is still more detailed than anything this administration has come up with.
It won't be the first time the D's and the american people have been duped. We were told that this would be done in 6 weeks, that we would be greeted as liberators, that oil revenue would pay for it, and that WMD's were north, south, west, and east of Baghdad. Damn, those dupers.
