Rumsfeld: What we've gained in Iraq

[mburbank]

That's incredably close minded of you AbcfdaiUSHKAG.

And it's wrong. The kind of 'egg' I like on the administrations 'face' is when Dick Chenney shoots some old guy but the guy pulls through. THat's hysterical. The kind of 'egg' that results in thousands of deaths? Not so enjoyable to me. And a hearty 'fuck you' for the implication. Every Iraqi who died in buildings we blew up suffered exactly the same way the people in the twin towers did, as did their survivors, in a war based on lies.

It is my belief that suffering is not negated by a Kurd getting on a ballot, an achievement yes, but one that is purely symbolic if it does not end up leading to an Iraq where people are not slaughtered wholesale on a daily basis, by us or each other. I hope whole heartedly that it does lead to that day.

I do not think our CURRENT presence NOW puts us in a position to hasten that day. I DO think we actually reduce the possability by being there NOW. I also think we should never have gone there, but that's another issue entirely. You want to disagree? Great. You want to make a counter argument? Swell. You want to imply that I care more about what this does to W's poll numbers than I do about people getting torn to dog food, you can kiss my ass. You're damn right you're not pointing out anything new to me. You can tell me you think I don't care what happens if we leave Iraq, but you haven't told me how you think our staying makes those things any less likely. Take a whack at that before you make some candy ass statement about where I rate the value of human life. We all recognize you are the soul voice of authority on all things middle eastern. Use your vast knowledge to explainto me what we are going to do with Guns and Bombs and Americans that might actively HELP do something more concrete than the admittedly significant placement of names on ballots, which they currently are. I think we have done absolutely as much good as we are going to do. I think we might well have done a lot more good, but I think it's far too late for that, we screwed that pooch and kicked it in the ass on it's way out the door. You know what YOU get off on AzxcnZi7asi? Being a pompous arrogant know it all gas bag. Please note, I'm not saying you 'get off' on thinking you're right more than you care about the Iraqi people just 'cause we disagree. Only a huge suck nugget would think something like that. I just think you're a gas bag is all. Respectfully.
