Sigh. I sure hope they do not EVER forget the sacrifices of the 3000+ US Martyrs who bravely gave their lives so that these idiots could sell us oil at $150/barrel.
Hubby and I just looked at each other and simultaneously said..."2012, the end of his term?...interesting."
ALSO on FOX - international correspondent said, "it's hard to wrap your mind around this..." referring to the Mumbai terror attack. It's not hard for those who understand what an ISLAMIC TERRORIST is, and that they hate America, Democracy, and the West - WE GET IT...it's journalists that live in another world that have the hard time!
It’s not as if all of us will leave, just the bulk of the 100.000 plus conventional Marines and Soldiers. There will always be a few advisers and military missions there, and maybe a modular base or two.
Is it just me, or can everyone appreciate what this article just said? First: The ‘Iraqi Parliament’ was mentioned in a sentence. This in an of itself is fantastic. Iraq actually has a parliament....not a bunch of Saddam drones rubber stamping the latest dictators blather so their families don’t get killed. This is great stuff. Second: We’ve been told by the Euro’s, the media, the Dems, and much of the Arab world that Iraq doesn’t want democracy.....that oppressive dictatorship and tribalism (read: gangs) is their culture. Well, if so, why did the Parliament overwhelming approve the presence of the US troops?
President Bush has been called an idiot and simpleton by his detractors. Heck, his presidency was destroyed by the Iraqi invasion. But, he has held fast to the belief that through democracy there is hope and hope will prove to be more enticing than terror in the long run. So far, I would say his argument is proving to be correct.
The Euro’s, the Dems, and the media have made getting to today’s historic Iraqi Parliment vote much more painful than it really needed to be. By refusing to get behind the President, the enemies of freedom were encourage and as a result many more Americans were needlessly killed.
History will definitely record a lot of stupidity during the Iraq mission. It will not be associated with President Bush, though.
So 77 parliament members just didn’t show up to vote on this? Wasn’t this sort of important?
SOFA’s finally a done deal.
The Iraqi gov’t is given STRICT OVERSIGHT of the 150,000 US troops.
What does this mean?
