Forecast on the Iraq Unpleasantness (ZOT!!! Revised forecast, dangerous electrical storms.)

[Donald Bass]

This Week began with Steph interviewing Colin Powell, who is in Kenya for the signing of a Sudanese peace treaty. Powell is still dealing with the diplomatic details of rushing aid to the tsunami-battered Southeast Asian region. Predictably, he said US relief officials on the ground are doing a great job, but refused to guess what the final death toll will be -- though he did admit a final accurate estimate may be impossible.

The pleassantries ended when George turned to supposed coming Iraqi elections, including a prediction by one Iraqi official of "incipient civil war" along ethnic lines following the election. Powell started railing against insurgents as if they were in fact a unified "tairist" front -- ignoring the issue of a potential civil war between rival ethnic insurgent factions. George steered Powell back to saying that Sunnis must have a stake in the next Iraqi government, and he hopes to see a government that is freely elected, gives all ethnicities a voice, and establishes a solid police force/army. Zbigniew Brzezinski says 500,000 troops and $200 BILLION would be the minimum needed for success, and, assuming the position of dutiful Bush buttswab, Powell called Zbig a "naysayer" and began talking about drawing down forces.

Steph stepped up the heat, mentioning the TIME article about the Pentagon mulling a dirty war. Powell quickly said that he is not familiar with what the Pentagon is up to. Talk about an understatement.

If they need 500,000 more, we should stop polishing our guns and start using 'em. Let me know how it goes. I've been out of the Army for nearly twenty years now, but I'll be thinking of you. Vaya con Dios, muchachos.

Steponallofus is a liberal hack for the former administration and a stupid SOB. I gave up on this show when Brinkly left.

We lost two soldiers today in an Abrams tank(with 4 wounded) in an IED attack and yesterday we lost one in another IED attack. We must have lost over half of our soldiers in these IED attacks. Horrendous and they get at least one a day. This has got to stop. I wish we would start executing some of those terrorists we have captured as war criminals. We need to get tough with these savages. But we are stuck with this IED problem unfortunately that is taking a lot of great men and women.

Just because your firts post is what you THINK a conservative would say, doesn't mean you can then go hog wild and post anti-Bush drivel in a shotgun spread allover the forum.
