Just long enough to suck the Oil out of the Middle East ehhhhhhhhhhhh.

Operation
Iraqi
Liberation

That says it all right dare.

We should declare Iraq a state and start building winter vacation homes. Blackwater can secure them. We could put in lakes and golf courses. We could import our Mexicans to keep it clean.

I've recommended we offer Iraq Statehood a number of times. For one thing, once Iraqis are Americans, the Republicans won't want to spend near as much money on htem.

50 years sounds about right. That's roughly how long it took the military-industrial complex to "defeat" communism, creating a few very happy billionaires in the process. By the time Islamo-fascism loses it's lustre, a new enemy will have been wheeled out to keep the wheels of commerce greased for the billionaires' grandchildren.

50 years, that's such a long time. Who knows, there might even be one Democratic President elected between now and then.

Not in 2008, but at some point.

Whenever it is, as Democrats they will immediately declare defeat and surrender the keys to the Pentagon to the nearest convenient terrorist group.

Greetings Infidels!

The General's points are taken as true--so No Shit!

He is so right on the switch 80-20 off the military.

FF for Zed!

Let's just say that zulu's "predictions" are not, well, predictable

Hans,

I know you are trying, and God knows it kind of cute that you are trying so hard. And God only knows how many months you have waited to spring your cut'n'paste masterpiece on me.

But you have failed to provoke any emotion from me other than pity. Nobody is 100% right all the time, and if I cared I suppose I could spend 5 or 10 minutes and find where you've been wrong and follow you around and paste my astounding discovery for the world to see.

Imperfection is something you felt obligated to demonstrate about zulu. Fine. I need not waste even a nanosecond demonstrating such fallibility about you, for you perform that service daily for free.

5. 4. 3. 2. 1

Zulu: How much did you have on the Rockies?

50 years, that's such a long time. Who knows, there might even be one Democratic President elected between now and then.

Gotta hope so. We can't afford to keep losing wars for the next 50 years, Look how much losing them for 5 years has indebted us to the godless commies. We need the occasional Democratic President to win a war or two.
God, can you imagine what the Coalition of the Willing would look like in 50 years-the Coalition of Only Making Obscene Gestures at Us would be our best hope.

"ZULU"...Your statements are open to everyone to see and what about being so Fuckin wrong do you really object to????? You fuckin right wing hacks have been wrong in almost everything since you all
elected this village idiot that now run your Country.

If we stay for 50 years I hope pricks like you have a large family so your kids, grandkids and there kids can die for nothing!!!!! You and your like make me fucking sick!!!! "AMERICA RIGHT OR WRONG", Jesus Christ, I taught that you fucks had gone underground forever!!!!!!

50 years. You know, that might be just enough time to clean up the mess Jimmy Carter made.

Iraq - Win
Afghanistan - Win

Looking pretty good so far.

If only Jimmy hadn't handed the Ayatollahs Iran . . .

"If only Jimmy hadn't handed the Ayaltollahs Iran...."

Yep. Should have sent in the 1st Marine Division to prop up the Shah.

I guess you can be forgiven such stupid statements. It all may have been a very long time ago from your point of view.

The Federal government is technically bankrupt now and foreigners are running away from the dollar. I don't see it going for more than ten years from now. The blowback from a war with Iran would shorten that time.

...more George Bush like leadership?

What sane person wants a dry drunk who has delusional tendencies to run a country?


Hell, Ronald Reagan cleaned up the mess Jimmy Carter made of the United States in just 8 so anything is possible.


Get a clue, Zulu, Reagan destroyed America.

'Get a clue, Zulu, Reagan destroyed America. '

You got your counties mixed up, you mean the U.S.S.R. America is still here, in spite of Jimmy Carter's best intentions.

Zulu=Partisan Hack

Zulu=Partisan Hack

Oooooooooooohhhhh....

Sounds like some rethugs will be loving this news. Blood for oil for the next 50 years.

Only Arabic speaking General ever. Maybe the only one that actually know what is going on.

50 years may be enough time for the Republicans to recover from Bush. By then, people may have forgotten how deranged Millenial Neocons were.


Zulu and Pinche-
Thanks for the show. No one's persuaded or even insulted by anything you say, since it's such transparent bullshit. I don't think even you really believe it. But still you come back here, day after day, for our amusement. My hat's off to you, you crazy motherfuckers.

You fuckin right wing hacks have been wrong in almost everything since you all elected this village idiot that now run your Country....Posted by celisary

They're part of the lunatic fringe, there's nothing to be done about them except to ignore them. Why are they so often wrong? If you used only half your brain you'd expect to be wrong about 75% of the time, they score an impressive 95% because so many of them are stupid too. You sound like you live abroad somewhere so it must be difficult to understand why there are so many of them. It's just a function of population size, nothing more complicated than that.

They have it in their heads that anything left of Dick Cheney is evil and will bring America down and feel that unless they warn us about it incessantly they will be thrown out of whichever right wing nutjob group it is they belong to -- freerepublic.com is quite popular with them.

On the rare occasions they they leave their virtual cellars they get into their gas-guzzlers with the faded and filthy W/04 stickers on the back to stock up on junk food and cold, fizzy beer to sustain them for another week or so of keyboard battle with the evil liberals. They voted for "the village idiot" twice, there's really nothing much else to say about them.

We need the occasional Democratic President to win a war or two.

We need the occassional Democrat, sure, but only to remind us of why we usually elect Republicans.

this village idiot that now run your Country. ...

Celery: If we stay for 50 years it's so slobs like you (and your nasty little children) can have cars, and plastic, and all the other stuff we get from petroleum.

But maybe not. Since the village idiot runs O-U-R country, and not yours, you may now leave.

So, it's because the slobs can have petroleum? So, when the sovereign Iraqis decide to sell it to someone else, we'll just have troops available to presude them otherwise? Sounds like good planning.

What are the chances that we'll be out of Korea in another 50 years?

"Abazaid: U.S. May Be in Mideast 50 Years"

I hope it's longer! We bought and paid for it at least twice!!! We ain't renten dat M.F.!!!!!

Let's hope that we continue to be in the Middle East and dominate the region as a world power. These finite terms imposed are delusionary. The wheels on the bus go round and round, and the world goes on and on, not subject to our arbitrarily imposed limitations seeking "closure."

We'll need to be active even long after geothermal power, supplemented of course by solar and tidal, supplants fossil fuel as the major source of power.

We'll still need to keep a rein on those theologically motivated madmen in that region, but hopefully we won't be so benign in dealing with them.

It would be a delightful world if we found a way to immediately fulfill the dreams and aspirations of all jihadis, and dispatch them as martyrs to Paradise where they could enjoy the illusory sexual delights that they deny themsleves on Earth because here sex is "dirty" for Islamics.

If the Islamics can't be pacified by the influence of women while they are alive, possibly we can alleviate their distress because of such deprivation by encouraging their use of hashhish and other pharmaceuticals.

"These finite terms imposed are delusionary...."

Indeed, why not annex Iraq, or at least declare a protectorate over it?

Seem like antique terms? Well, as an imperialist, I suggest you embrace them both, and get real to the extent you at least admit that from your point of view Iraqi sovereignty is a useful joke.
