Surgerific!
Of course the sunni militias we've created and armed will quickly embrace this government. Cause BLT, Bowa and 101 all believe it and that's all that's required for reality.

"Cause BLT, Bowa and 101 all believe it and that's all that's required for reality."

Actually, it only requires any 2 of the 3, plus the term LOL or Hee Hee to seal the deal.

What a great idea!

Sunnis will have one more reason to kill Shiites!

Funny, the fighty righty's haven't been all over this to explain how this is proof that the surge is working.

........let's think..........

.......last we week we armed the Sunni militias....

.......this week the Sunnis are excluded from government...........

.......Presto !!!! Simple George's Peace Recipe........can't foresee anything bad coming out of this..........

This must be viewed as a terrific victory for Condi Rice. Have we ever had a less capable Sec. of State??
And now Cheney, one of the chief engineers of this complete disaster is begging Chimpy to bomb Iran.
There comes a time when incompetence is criminal.

BowaLT101 is pouring through the RNC talking points even as we laugh at him.
Expect either an explanantion as to how this shows the sunni political runaways are in their last throes and that 400 dead in beautiful downtown kurdistan only shows that the surge is a success or a questionable comment about you mother.

Maybe Bowa will say:

"Obama is against Sunnis being excluded from Iraqi governing coalition - he must be out of his mind. LOL"

Reconciliation at it's finest!

Well, can you really blame the Shiites now that the whole world has recently been informed that Bush has decided to align the entire U.S. military on the side of the Sunnis.

Now Wait A Got Dang Minute Here, The Entire Reason For The Surge Was To Give Time For The Iraq Government To Unite And Get Law Accomplished !!

Things That make You Say Hmmmmmm

Oh Slap My Mouth What I Just Said Was So Un American And Bashing Bush And Cheering For Defeat... But It Was the Truth The Failure Of A Needles War !

-Sarge

How could they screw us during their parliament's 'vacation'?

Our troops are fighting in 120 degree heat while they thumb their nose at the very thing we've been fighting for: Reconciliation and peace.

i don't hold out much hope for Iraq. We should just leave now that the Shiite's true intentions are clear.

I've got a question about a couple things in Iraq that I can't quite understand. This isn't a test I just can't quite figure out the following so if anybody can answer any part of it -- great -- I'll check back later.

Okay -- the U.S. has now made it known that we've taken sides with the Sunnis (and of course the Saudis are Sunnis so that probably had something to do with Bush's decision) and the line is now drawn in the sand.

BUT it's the Shiites and the Kurds who have oil in their territory of Iraq and the Sunnis' land has no oil. So WHY is Bush choosing sides with the only group (Sunnis) in Iraq that can't give him any oil contracts?

Is it because Bush wants to nuke Iran -- apparently soon -- and since the Iranians are Shiites he had no choice but to join up with the Sunnis?

"BUT it's the Shiites and the Kurds who have oil in their territory of Iraq and the Sunnis' land has no oil. So WHY is Bush choosing sides with the only group (Sunnis) in Iraq that can't give him any oil contracts? "

Perhaps it's one of those myths that's been repeated so much that people now take it as fact: That we invaded for the oil. Not since the invasion has the US bought (or taken, of course) significant amounts of oil from Iraq. I believe the biggest buyer of Iraqi oil is the Chinese and then India.

Goatman

That may be true, but as I recall the revenues for the oil were supposed to go into the U.S. Treasury to pay for the war.

At least that's what was promised to us over and over by our leaders before we invaded.

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

"At least that's what was promised to us over and over by our leaders before we invaded."

"Correct me if I'm wrong....."

You could very well be right. This thing has been such a debacle, I'm having a hard time keeping it all straight.

Goatman

I remember that promise being made several times to the American public when questions prewar were raised about the cost being born by the U.S. taxpayers.

You're right though about the confusion. We've been told so many conflicting things about both the progress and prosecution of this war gone badly.

Man, I'm hoping something good comes of it in the end. IMHO it's not looking good in that regard. Biden has it right in my view: We need to let them go at it (as they are now), and aid in partitioning the country as they did in India after the British left in 1947. His plan makes the most sense....Autonomous Kurdisn, Sunni, and Shiite regions with revenue sharing and a weak central government. At this point, it seems the only plausable solution.

We need to let them go at it (as they are now), and aid in partitioning the country as they did in India after the British left in 1947.

You do know the history of that partition don't you? Massacres that make Iraq look like the vatican, a couple of national wars and ongoing terrorist attacks by Pakistan's favorite islamic terrorists. Not to mention both have nukes, mostly aimed at each other.

"Whatever the "causes" of the partition, the brute facts cannot be belied: down to the present day, the partition remains the single largest episode of the uprooting of people in modern history, as between 12 to 14 million left their home to take up residence across the border. The estimates of how many people died vary immensely, generally hovering in the 500,000 to 1.5 million range, and many scholars have settled upon the nice round figure of 1 million."
