AMERICANS WANT OUT OF IRAQ!

tags: Iraq, iraq

"The most recent CBS/NYT poll asked people "From what you know about the U.S. involvement in Iraq, how much longer would you be willing to have large numbers of U.S. troops remain in Iraq

It's all about the framing of the question. "Less than a year" is a great answer precisely because it's so nebulous as to be non-binding. We've all been telling ourselves "less than a year" since before we went in. "Should leave now" hardly sounds good to anyone-- because it removes other options, because it brings us devastatingly close to the moment of inevitability, because there is more than enough blame to go around. We need another study-- not a drawn-out one like 06's Iraq Study Group, but a follow-up to that. Then we need a plan: a thorough plan with detailed contingencies. Then we need to stick to the plan. And yes, it should take us less than a year.

My country has, at great sacrifice, offered the opportunity for freedom, self rule, to some 27 million Iraqi men, women, and children. That, by any measurement, is an historic legacy. I couldn't be prouder to be an American.

BULL SHIT!

1. Americans who are TOO LAZY to GET THE FACTS
and/or are JUST TOO STUPID to be able to fully comprehend what the FACTS mean, may want to get out of Iraq.

Those who are INTELLIGENT and RATIONAL enough to both GET AND UNDERSTAND the FACTS fully realize our war in Iraq is FULLY JUSTIFIED amd a NECESSARY part of our War On Terror!

2. IF you had even a CLUE, (and you certainly do not) you would KNOW, Nov. 22, 2008 was declared

VICTORY IN IRAQ DAY

Google it!

So go crawl in your Deep Dark Cave of STUPIDITY and wallow in your IGNORANCE!

The devaluation of the fiesta Gold grows faster than we think of it. I hope it is reflects to the management department about the question of the fiesta money.
It is caused by the continuous influx of fiesta online gold market currencies. On the other hand, buy fiesta Gold is one of these questions. The fiesta online money is one of the causes.
