7/17 we haven't argued about the latest useless congressional
gesture to pull america out of Iraq and deny the simple fact
we're gonna be there for the next 60 years like Korea/West Bank/
Japan, is everyone on vacation?
\_ It's 7/18 now btw
\_ We're in the West Bank?
\_ How about Vietnam. Iraq is more like Vietnam, at least so far...
\_ And our troops are still there! Oh, wait....
\_ How long were US troops in Vietnam?
\_ Zero days after we decided to pull out.
\_ just pointing out israel is still in the west bank.
\_ And despite your ZOG fantasies, US != Israel.
\_ sorry. didnt explain. when Israel invaded west bank
they said they'd only stay a short time. They're still
there, much to everyone involved's pain.
\_ Ye-es, but WE are not THEM.
\_ I agree, but I'm using an example from history.
\_ Why *that* example, then? How about how the
Gaulic tribes are *still* in France 1500 years
later! The bastards! Save France for the French!
Kill the Gaulic invaders!
\_ you probably mean "gallic" or "gaulish"
\_ garlic
\_ Why do you hate the French? We must save
France!
\_ All we are asking for is an up or down vote.
\_ Why is it "useless"? Let me guess, you are a war supporter...
\_ Am not war supporter. I just think we're going to be in
Iraq F O R E V E R.
\_ I think President Hillary Rodham Clinton will have us out
in less than six months after she takes office. We shall see.
\_ You won't see. She's not getting elected.
\_ And if she does get elected she won't be able to
get the US out in 6 months.
\_ That's true, too. She isn't exactly pushing hard on
the "get the troops out now" agenda.
\_ Not according to all the right wing newspapers.
I think she is just tacking to the center and
will get bowled over by events, after she wins.

\_ "... after she wins". You're trolling or
drunk. I don't care what left/right wing
newspapers say she says. I read what she
says.
\_ Really? Who is going to win in her stead?
"None of the above?"
\_ My dog. Anyone with a heart beat, age 35+. Charles
Manson. Rowdy Roddy Piper. Anyone.
\_ Are you the same guy who predicted that we would
find WMD in Iraq? Just wondering, because I am
predicting that Hillary will not get beaten
by a Republican. BTW, I predicted that we would
*not* find WMD in Iraq, so my record is pretty
good.
curious how good your track record is.
\_ No. But given the lack of serious effort put
into controlling the country after the attack
started and all the trucks rolling in various
directions before I wouldn't be at all
surprised if we hear in 30 years they were
there and the Bush admin decided it was less
stupid to have invaded and not found them than
invaded and let them slip away. Now then, if
it was Roddy Piper vs. my dog, it'd be a really
interesting race. Piper still has a lot of
wrestling fans, but my dog can speak English
better so he's going to win all 3 debates.
\_ The US is not ready for a female President,
especially a polarizing one like Clinton.
The Dems should push hard to make sure she
does not get the nomination, because if
she does (or if Obama does) then I predict
another Republican win. I have always
voted Democrat for President (even though I am
a 'decline to state') but I would not vote
for Hilary Clinton. I would vote for Bill,
though.
\_ Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've
constructed. |

| www.nysun.com/article/55102 Robert Gates, seeking assurances that military leaders had drawn up "contingency" plans so that American troops could pull out of Iraq without "unnecessary danger." She cited recent reports that Iraqi military officials are making their own preparations in the event of a rapid American exit. "In light of growing violence and insecurity in Iraq, the continued lack of political progress by Prime Minister al-Maliki, the Iraqi defense ministry's level of contingency planning, and the will of the American Congress to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, it is imperative that the Department of Defense prepare plans for the phased redeployment of US forces," Mrs Clinton wrote. Mrs Clinton, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said she also conveyed similar concerns in a private meeting with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Peter Pace. It doesn't happen overnight," Mrs Clinton told reporters yesterday, saying she has heard that there has been "no, or very limited, planning" for a pullout. "If they're not planning for it, it will be difficult to execute it in a safe and efficacious way." The Defense Department yesterday said it would not discuss correspondence with elected officials. Mr Gates earlier this month said the department's planning for alternatives to the current strategy in Iraq was "more of just broader conceptual thinking" rather than specific contingency plans involving a redeployment of troops.
