#2 So how come I don't see these articles about how "the majority of Iraqis, the people these humanitarian hawks seek to save, want the US to set a timetable for withdrawal."? Huh?

Or that "One hundred thousand have marched in Baghdad's streets for withdrawal."? If true, that'd be about 2% of the population of the city. Can the number be "independently verified"?

Now I can believe this, "This week 82 members of the Iraqi parliament issued a statement demanding US withdrawal and criticising their leadership for reneging on pledges made to Iraqi voters." because there's 275 members of Parliment, so the complainers number just 30%, about the same as the LLL wackos, here.

You guys holdin' out on us? Where's all this baaaaaad news?

#3 S"en. Joe Biden's proposal to send 5,000 NATO troops to close the Syrian-Iraq border." Like anyone in NATO has 5,000 troops to send to Iraq for border security.

#6 Bobby,

The protest Hayden is referring to is the April 2005 protest by Muqtada al-Sadr and his Iranian mullah masters demanding troops leave so they can impose a theocracy, and torture and execute heretics (i.e. anyone who does not think the same) in basements. As for the 100,000, Hayden must a proponent of Ethnomath (see other thread). CNN had a figure of "Several thousand". Iraqi protesters: 'No, no to America'.

Somebody tell Hayden that Franken's call for others to fight is not support for a war that started with an attempt to kill 50,000 people in Franken's home town. Hayden himself, is trying to relive his glory years. For him, it's always Cambodia 1975. And what is it about Biden trying to weasel out of the hard work, whether it's law school plagerism, claiming credit for things he has not done, or trying to get others to fight our war?

PS. When I read the title of this post, I thought it was satire from HuffingtonToast, but it seems in this day and age, irony is dead.
