They studied their navels. What more could you possibly want?

The ISG speaks clearly to what was wrong about the GHW Bush Administration. They are always looking for weak compromise, instead of firm principles.
I have one recommendation for the ISG. Sit the Sunni leaders in a room and tell them we're done. If they allow a bomb to go off, IED or whatever, in a Sunni controled area, Our first course of action will be to abandon them for a week. The next bomb...two weeks. We will let the Shia's rip them limb from limb until they determine they're on board and will create no more chaos. That includes promptly turning in any forgien fighters.
If they can claim that they have no control over it, begin the first week early.
Repeat in neighborhood throughout Iraq. Communities see things, they also pretend they don't see things. It's time for Iraqis to open their eyes.
the report is irrelevant.
Bush is weak.
Bush will do what Nancy wants.
Think I will join you in your chewing of some raw wood. All this is driving me crazy.
Bush will do what Nancy wants.
Give it a rest !
Iraq is, indeed, a sovereign nation. It would bode well for them if they would fully understand that the United States is also a sovereign nation - in full control of the allocation of its military and resources. The United States has certain goals and objectives it wishes to achieve in the Middle East. To the extent that deployment in support of the Iraq government works toward achieving those goals, then it is in our interest to be there. When it is not working, then it is no longer in our interest. We do not owe them and need to get over our terminal guilt complex.
Iraq should be coming hat in hand to ask us for assistance in THEIR problem, so that they can meet their national goals of stability. We are not a colony of Iraq - at their command. They now have an elected government. It is their government and their nation.
It is time for the relationship to change to a compact between two sovereigns, realizing that both agendas need to be met in a win/win relationship. It is time to wean the toddler from the teat.
After 5 years of no attacks on the N. American continent, with some to possibly several thwarted as we now know, I'd say that Bush has done quite a bit right. And that takes strength, not weakness. I'm suddenly filled with gladness that he and not you, is POTUS.
Take your Bush-bashing over to DU, they'll love you over there.
Blame Bush, Blame Republicans. Why?
This is to mould the public in an anti-conservative mind set for 2008, so that only RINOs and Dems can be successful in the next election in 2008.
WRONGO! We need guys like Tom Delay, and John Bolton, not milksop gurly maen pooliticians who wring their hands as the Islamofascists go about their dirty work of slitting throats in the Middle East and elsewhere.
If the USA allows an Islamofascist Axis with nuclear power and the bomb to form, along with control over the world's oil supply, Western Nations will be held to ransom.
I am sick of this Liberal Moonbat posturing on strategic questions , I want to puke!
We need to send in more troops to Iraq, pound the Islamofascists into submission and then get out with The Arab Gulf converted into a pond for the US Navy.

That's how it was intended.
Just a guess here: You really really like Pat Buchanan, don't you?
if memory serves me correctly,
I voted for GWB 8 times.
and would so again, in those past circumstances.
with that said,
GWB threw the Republican Party under the bus,
for his occupation of Iraq, and inaction on high summer gas prices.
I do understand how you feel. I am very annoyed with President Bush on such things as Prescription Drug coverage, and the open-border policy (as regards illegal aliens.... legal aliens are very cool people indeed).
Have you thought about running for president?
You may have vote.
You're full of BS.
Lame post, take it elsewhere.
