British troops to leave Iraq

And leave it in the mess it's in? That's not very good stewardship, right?

 

What can we possibly do to fix it? Isn't staying just delaying the inevitable, plus spending an extra $100 billion and costing the lives of a 1,000 or so more troops?

 

We can't do anything to fix it. We are no longer an honest broker anywhere else in that part of the world. What we can do, here, is hold responsible the idiots who launched this mess, and everyone who enabled them.

 

Just leave and say, "fuck it?"

 

Which would be both Dems and Repubs.

 

How much do you want to spend to "referee" a civil war?

 

Dems and Repubs??? Really?

I'd love to see anyone try and argue that this clusterfuck of a war would've been started with Al Gore as president.

Washing your hands on starting a war -- or attempting to wash your hands on starting a war -- is not the same thing as executing it while quashing legitimate intell that screamed, "Stay the fuck out!"

 

I'm ready


P.S. Check out the guns!

 

or better yet, ask yourself, why, if a hostile country was going to come in and bomb the shit out of my country, kill thousands of innocent women and children and then hang my ass, why i wouldn't use weapon of mass destruction on hostile country forces?

how does that one work out for ya, chief?

 

Apparently they won't be leaving before someone has the opportunity to ask, "Is Harry On The Boat?" (if you're not familiar with British TV, you likely won't get the reference)

LONDON – Prince Harry, third in line to throne (sic), will be deployed to Iraq, Britain's Defence Ministry announced Thursday.

His regiment, the Blues and Royals, is expected to go to Iraq this spring, and he could become the first royal to see combat since his uncle, Prince Andrew, served in the Falklands War against Argentina in 1982.

Harry, a second lieutenant, has expressed his desire to serve alongside his comrades in Iraq, saying that there was "no way" he was going to undergo rigorous training and then stay away from the battlefield. He graduated last year from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.

 

Some folks really want to forget about Daddy's Redemption, but the reminder wakes up at
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, every morning. It's your baby, babies.
