"Negotiations with the Sunnis are taking place every day....Tell us something new...........
I have to give you credit their Michael, you have the left wing talking pints down pat.............
That said it would be a huge mistake to set a timetable for leaving Iraq................This president will stay until the job is done........"
The question should be negotiations with which Sunnis. Negotiations have gone on for about a month now with some "leaders" becoming a part of the new government. The daily body count remains the same. The current offer is amnesty. Even if they accept amnesty, do you trust them? The local Sunnis Muslims in their own country is much more clear cut. We wouldn't have to trust them. If they want to continue hostilities, we have a front line and can conduct conventional warfare.
Nice to label and dispose of what I am saying. That takes less effort than considering what I am saying and thinking about it. Have you ever thought where we would be right now if Colin Powell or John McCain or anyone else with military credibility were president? WE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS QUAGMIRE! Bush and his close circle of neo conservatives are making the decisions. Bush has only National Guard experience, and his advisors all avoided the draft or didn't serve. They are business people and professional politicians. Karl Rove is a professional mouth that has never has his chubby butt in a foxhole or an armored patrol carrier.
Every additional day we stay in Iraq, the richer Haliburton gets. About a dozen, huge, corporate GOP sponsors are getting rich and controlling Iraq oil fielRAB. If you want to read the literature to the neo conservative think tanks in the late 1990's, they had it all planned, especially the invasion of Iraq and US access to Iraqi oil by establishing a friendly, democratic government.
