I do not think that the Iraqis or the world are prepared to watch what happens when Dems and insurgents accomplish the mission of getting US troops out of Iraq asap.

If they think the TV is ugly to watch now...just imagine watching Baghdad turn into 1980's Beirut. Imagine watching tens or even hundreds of thousands of people dying. Imagine watching hundreds of thousands or millions fleeing. And imagine trying people trying to convince themselves that abandoning the Iraqi people to terrorist insurgents was a good thing to do.

This is the difference between chess players and checkers players.

According to Johns Hopkins University there already has been 650,000 deaths in Iraq since 2003. That's over 600 people a day, every day, since the invasion.

How much worse can it get?

"Imagine watching hundreds of thousands or millions fleeing."

If it follows the Vietnam model, many Iraqis will be deemed too close to Americans.

They will flee to America for permanent resident, then citizen status.

My area of Orange County is home to the largest Vietnamese population, outside Vietnam. Largely Christians and Buddhists; more conservative than otherwise. Good and proud Americans.

Therefore someplace else gets the muslim Iraqis.

Enjoy things while we can. In a few years we'll cherish the memories.

That's ok, as far as the Left is concerned, because they will blame Bush for it.

"Oh, if only we had left Saddam alone."

That's because the Left has never met an anti-American, totalitarian tyrant it didn't like.

Today at noon on a local radio station I was listening to went to the national news. As I was listening the British General who was to have spoken these words said they were taken out of context. The newsman went on describing what the general had really said and, what he had meant by the statement.


The general stated, the British will never pull out as long as their ali, the United States was in Iraq.
Has anyone checked to see who wrote the story.
