#1 Iff reports that the post-2006 elex Dems are offering=giving key Congresional positions to hardlineers, can only mean that the Dems are aware that Amer Hiroshimas loom on high for America, AND ARE TRYING TO PROTECT AND GUARANTEE THAT ULTRA-LEFTISTS SURVIVE + DOMINATE POST-HIROSHIMA(S) WASHINGTON. As argued time before, worse coming to worse, SAVING AMERICA + WORLD FROM DUBYA/GOP-CAUSED + BLAMED NEW 9-11'S = SURVIVING DUBYA/GOP-SAME, when it comes to POWER. REALISM-PRAGMATISM > keeping any and all Options open > Contingencies > ensuring that DEMOLEFISTS,
NOT GOP-RIGHTISTS, rule post-Hiroshima Washington = Amerika. Whether duly elected, or as stalwart Hiroshima "Survivor", HILLARY = CO-POTUS VEEP HILARY = POTUS HILLARY!?

#2 Iraqization hasn't worked because Sunnis and Shiites want to murder each other. Blame Islam.

#3 Well, I haven't read it either, but it sounds to me a lot like Bush's plan with a timetable and some threats. I heard on the radio going home last night that the ISG report indicated W's plan had failed, and they said it twice in the span of 20 seconds, just in case you missed it the first time.

What plan failed? The one that was in effect when the ISG started their work? The one that was in effect halfway through the 'study'? Or the one that was in effect the day the report was released?

The strategy is unchanged - "stand them up as we stand down" - that hasn't changed in a while. The tactics should be changing all the time, as the enemy adapts. (Hey! I'm a civil engineer, not a military guy!)

And by the by, Ms. Pelosi - your people were elected a month ago and the price of gas started rising the next day. It's now skyrocketed 15% in one month. At that rate, gas will be $5.00 a gallon by summertime. Whatcha gonna do about that, sweetheart?

#4 From the AP (By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer)

WASHINGTON - Praised by some and panned by others, the report of a high-level commission on ways to wind down the war in Iraq offered no startlingly new ideas but said a U.S. defeat still could be averted.?

Defeat?

#5 The authors of this report are the same losers who advised GHWB (Bush #1) to abondond the shiite and Kurd uprisings in Iraq following the first gulf war. These same losers are mostly responsible for Bush 41 being a one termer. So tell me why we should consider their opinion at this time? In my eyes, they are just slightly ahead of Jimmah Cahtah in terms of military or foreign policy success.

Send this entire group packing, ask the 3rd infantry brigade to show up on the hill in fatigues, round up the entire congress, senate,and supremee court - jail most, shoot some, and return others to work - start over!

When treason is acceptable to the government, then the government is no longer acceptable to the people - throw them out!

#6 I really hate to say it, but it's been going thru my mind a lot lately.

I think the country would be better off today if the people who fought on flight 93 lost.

I deeply respect them for what they did, but I think the long term results have resulted in more harm than good. I think we would have been better off of most of these bastards had been killed and we had to start over with a new Congress.

I know this is crazy talk, but it's how I feel.

#7 I see a big fall in this overaged piece of skank meat's future. She makes too many enemies...even among her own people.

#9 We can't win if we retreat.

There is no substitute for victory. It is the only standard by which military conflict which involves the US should be resolved for the US.

The ISG reports the memebrs wants to avert defeat. If that is true then the commission should have at least stated that victory is the only standrad for military conduct. That didn't happen.

#10 Been reading overseas stuff.
The jihadist's and leftist are screaming total victory and the crushing of the USA.

Pelosi and Baker are total traitors.

Hell, I've had Huskies who thought they had the upperhand for about 10 minutes. Both turned out to be long-term pals.

#14 The ISG thing to me is just too damn silly. It's like needing a study group to tell you to wipe your arse after taking a growler. The only part of the policy that has failed imho is not being brutal enough on certain tribes (a deadhorse I've resurected and beaten back to death on here numerously) who support the islamo-nutz. Only GWB can declare victory.

Lost in Iraq? What a bunch of idiots. We won the ground war, won every major and minor tactical battle and realistcally own 85%+ of the real estate. That's a military victory by anyone's definition (minus lefty idiots who are not even f*cking Americans afaic). We are only constrained by our own ROE. (rant/off)

#15 Mark Steyn was on O'Reilly tonight - he dubbed the report's conclusions to be "Chat 'n Run" - sounds like a bullseye to me. ;-)

#17 Mods - Under Bridge Dweller on Aisle 16. May need to send swab and bucket for the inevitable spittle clean up.

#18 It's almost sentient. Let's see if it can sit up and beg - or merely roll over (under the bridge) and play dead, lol.

#19 Maybe the DU is slow today. We lost 11 lads today, I figured they'd be near mid-nut right about now.

#20 It's weird. They seem come out when the news is good, rather than bad - RC's Troll Law, IIRC. I guess the circle-jerk at DU on a bad day is more inviting, lol. I guess we get the real dregs on a bad day...
