11/18 Bush's exit strategy for Iraq:
2005: We Must Stay the Course
2006: We Must Keep Our Resolve
2007: The Fight for Freedom Continues
2008: We Will Not Let the Terrorists Win
late in 2008: Well it's Been Fun, Good Luck Cleaning up the
Mess I Left You With!
\_ You're cruel. Stop it. Don't you know you're making jblack
mad? Therapy is getting expensive these days.
\_ Just like how Clinton had fun with a bubble for years and then left
a bursted one to Dubya.
\_ I thought the bubble is the good work of Mr. Greenspan.
\_ Hi there anonymous partisan! Thanks for playing! -emarkp
\_ What evidence to the contrary is out there? --erikred, !OP
\_ Contrary? The above barely qualifies as a bumper sticker.
"Staying the course" etc. includes things like free elections
(check), ratifiying a constitution (check), etc. -emarkp
\- i think bush only cares about his historical reputation.
i think his goal is to avoid major disasters and then
leave it to the next admin and is going to start working
on blaming the next admin for fucking things up. i think
the real question is the role iraq policy will play in
the next presidential election.
\_ nah, bush doesn't care about historical reputation.
he cares more about the reputation of America, as in,
if you're with the terrorists, America will never give
in regardless of how many citizens Dubya has to
sacrifice.
\_ glad you people were not around during WWII or the Korean war.
History tells us what you did to the Vietnam war, and let's
hope the country has the prescience not to let that type
of debacle happen again.
\_ You don't think there's a slight difference between fighting
back against a power interested in world conquest, that took
over Paris and was bombing London, and overthrowing a podunk
dictator with no army and no weapons? -tom |
