Personally, I don't understand the resistance to Obama's 16 month
withdrawal. The Status of Forces agreement has us out of the
cities by June, and out of Iraq in 36 months. Al-Maliki states
an earlier withdrawal if OK by him. The Sunnis seemed concerned
by our leaving, but there seems to be an effort to address their
issues. I mean, Iraq is looking relatively stable, though
fragile, and we can use the manpower in Afghanistan, where things
look to be going downhill.
Afghanistan will be President Obama's Vietnam.
Gad, i love these pronouncements from Mt. Olympus. You're beginning
to sound like BAR. I thought you were a lot brighter.
Consider that in your memory, one of the mightiest militaries in the
world, couldn't keep Afghanistan under it's control
We're all aware of Afghanistan's history. Too bad Bush shot and
wasted our wad in Iraq, eh? Well, stupid is as stupid does.

Ah yes - the famous Harry Krause logic - just call everybody stupid.

Well, if the foo schitts...

Bush is an idiot. Worst president ever.

Your boy bush was the ultimate disaster, and it is going to take a
series of miracles for Obama or anyone else to haul this country's ashes
out of the fire.

Well for starters, Bush wasn't "my boy". He was my President just as
he was your President. I also view Obama as my President although I
don't particularly think he was the best choice - Hillary would have
made a better choice in my view even though I wouldn't have voted for
her if you paid me to.

And what are you concerned with? Obama's failure to be perfect in every
way, as he attempts to shovel through the mountains of Bushschitt.

I'm supposed to take your carping seriously?

You established the rules with your constant bull****, name calling,
Bush Derangement Syndrome and obvious poking of the ferret for the
past five years. Beating the drum as it were with the constant
posturing of the neo-liberal outrage about everything and anything
Bush.

Well, what goes around comes around. You made the rules - I'm just
playing by them.

And, if your constant non-sequitars, ad hominem snark and vacuous
repartee are any indication, we're getting under your skin in a big
way.

Can't take it huh Harry? Raising your blood pressure - maybe enough
to make your eyeballs bug out? Are your ears turining red - fingers
trembling in a frenzy of rage as you type out schitts, righties,
'wingers and other pet names for people you disagree with?

When, and if, you reply, do include some comment about my preferred
brand of outboard, my political orientation, add in a few schitts here
and there and make some vague and completely off subject reference to
Republican sex scandals.

Oh and please, by all means feel free to insult my efforts in the area
of photography - I really take your criticism to heart.

Well ok - you caught me on that last one - that wasn't true at all. I
would take it to heart if you knew what you were talking about. Which
you don't so I guess that's out.

Sorry - my bad.
