Conditions for exit:
If you leave now, Pat, you can keep your foreign-made BMW.
Look what old Pat is up to now.
I thought it was actually one of the most reasonable articles Pat has written on Iraq in quite awhile.
It probably did sound reasonable... but what did it sound like in the original Arabic?
I know you believe only in Fortress America, but you isolationists are always on the losing side of American history.
Tell you what, if we like your ideas we'll elect you President.

Sorry, Pat, not interested in your observations or prescriptions any more. Why don't you ask Dickie Morris for lessons in rehabilitation? He's miles ahead of you.
Hey DIMs, where's the exit strategy for getting us out of the U.N.?
"The insurgency has always been a war against the U.S. occupation"
NO! IT IS NOT!! The insurgents have killed 10 times the number of Iraqis (police, military & civilian) than they have Americans.
Even in the last 2-3 days - who have the "insurgents" attacked ..?? Iraqi policeman - and the Iraqi general public which includes WOMEN AND CHILDREN - only 3 Americans have been attacked.
Anyway we should not be surprised by what a bitter loser like Buchanin says.
• Inform the new Iraqi assembly that the United States has no plans for any permanent U.S. military presence on Iraqi soil.
As if this conversation has not already taken place, if the Iraqis want us to completely pull-out. D'UH!
• Pledge continued U.S. aid in battling the resistance and rebuilding the country, as long as an elected government endures.
Isn't obvious that's what we're ALREADY doing? D'UH!
• Accelerate the training and equipping of Iraqi army forces, and the transfer to them of the duty to defend their own government.
ALREADY being done. D'UH!
• Announce an initial drawdown of U.S. forces, so Iraqis get the message that the defense of democracy in their own country is first and foremost their own duty, not ours. While we will aid them in their battle, its ultimate outcome will depend upon them.
As if they don't get the message already and aren't trying to defend their own country. D'UH!
Love the graphic!
25,374,691 live in Iraq. A good majority, something like 80%, voted on Monday. 1% are insurgents. I think once the taste of freedom really sets into the mouths of the other 80%, that 1% better hide or leave. I expect us to stay in Iraq for a couple of decades. Not as occupiers, but as a testament, just like Korea, to how the Iraqis want us to stay. They will need us in the near future to defend themselves against a horde of freedom haters, and snakes like Iran and Syria. If we were to leave completely, Iraq would be at war constantly for many years.
Was ANYBODY listening to the President last night?
(yawn)
Why these people think they are making new or interesting observations is quite beyond me.
Maybe the reasonable parts sounded that way because they pretty much list exactly what Bush is already doing.
Yeah, let's hear conditions for Pat's exit -- as soon as possible.
