Sounds good, lets try to speed it up, and get out of there, and let Iraqi's have back thier own free country.....

The Interior Ministry and the National Police force it operates have long been regarded by observers as being infiltrated by sectarian Shiite militias.
"Such fundamental flaws present a serious obstacle to achieving the levels of readiness, capability, and effectiveness in police and border security forces that are essential for internal security and stability in Iraq," the report says.
"Sectarianism in its units undermines its ability to provide security; the force is not viable in its current form. The National Police should be disbanded and reorganized," it says.


Oh is that it? Only another 1500 dead American soldiers before the Iraqis get around to standing up?

Seriously, we've reached the tough love point. This is the point where you realize your roommate is an unemployed mooching slob, and you kick his ass out the door. And if he starves to death in the street, it's not like he wasn't warned, and it's not like he didn't have chances.

Our soldiers swore an oath to obey and die for this country, and we are throwing their lives away on these worthless bums. No American soldier should die for this.

Same old crap -- just enough time -- 12-18 months -- for Bush and his buddies to continue collecting on those war profiteering contracts and soaking every cent out of our U.S. Treasury with no accountability. Then Bush and buddies can dump their mess on the next President.

BUSH IS STALLING FOR TIME until he can slither out of office (with his stolen billions) in January 2009

Our soldiers swore an oath to obey and die for this country...

Yeah, and let's see how these troops feel in a year or two when Bush demands they obey and die for the corporate-run North American Union in place of the USA.

Laying down your life for the NAU's profit margin just doesn't rouse that same sentimental feeling and rousing of patriotic pride, does it.

Couric: 'Real Progress' In Iraq


Posted by FormerLib at 2007-09-05 05:48 PM


That traitor bitch. She's just trying to keep her job and get her ratings up.

Where's Harry the reed been?

Do any of you actually comprehend what you read, or is the cover telling you the entire story in your mind.

...and will be unlikely to take over security on their own in the next 12 to 18 months...

Hey, we just need to get rid of the Iraqi security forces, too. That's only about 60% of the armed forces of Iraq-shouldn't be a problem. Getting rid of the army worked out real well in 2003 didn't it?

This is what, the third or fourth 12-18 more months needed?

Just stay the course, and Bush will be able to go out and replenish his wallet with a clear conscience.

The report: "In any event, the ISF will be unable to fulfill their essential security responsibilities independently over the next 12-18 months," the report states."

The headline: "Panel: Iraq security 12-18 months from taking over."

Freaking RCade and the rest of the conservative media!

First it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, then it was 6 months, NOW ITS FUCKING 12-18 months.

JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR BUSH TO SKEEDATTLE TO CRAWFORD< OR PARAGUAY.

Hey Puscubus:

"Our soldiers swore an oath to obey and die for this country..."

The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for commissioned officers are as follows:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."


You Would Never Have The BALLS, You Traitorous Yellow Ass Pussy Coward !!!

Your Country Needs You, We Have Troops Serving Their 3rd and 4th Tours In OIF !!!

Why Don't You Love Your Country Enough To Serve And Defend It During A Time Of War?

-Sarge

Hey Sarge, where is the "and die" stuff?

I thought Patton covered that.
You're supposed to make the other SOB die.

What the report means is that it will be 12-18 months before they will have to predict that it will be at least another 12-18 months agains...ad infinitum.
Truth: the Iraqis will never get along cuz
a. they have religious hatreds going back 1000 years.
b. the Sunni area of Iraq does not have oil
c. the Shia hate the Sunni and will never "donate" oil profits to them
d. Al Quaeda will continue to operate there as long as Americans are there

Zat,

You know it is so very true ! Some will Never know.
Zat what is your take on Fosset ? I would think if the Impact was strong enough to trigger the ELT, the if not then it would have been survivable.

-Sarge

"Zat what is your take on Fosset ?"

I dunno.
Lots of old, bold pilots died flying.
It's dangerous.

If he was scouting land from the air solo, he was arrogant. Someone should be flying the airplane as job one. Take a friend.

He could have been paying attention to something on the ground and no one was flying the plane and he hit a ridge line.

He could have just died.

I've had my pilot's license 40 years.
Seen all sorts of shit, even airline crews.
Copilot's last words on the Cali, Colombia AA crash: "Where are we?"

I share your thoughts, I know in Alaska we had a Pilot fall out of his plane looking for Elk Herds. It could have been anything.

Thanks

When a senior congressional Republican warned Dick Cheney in August, 2002, the United States would get mired in Iraq, the Vice-President reportedly scoffed.

"It'll be like the American army going through the streets of Paris [in the Second World War]," he said. "The people will be so happy with their freedoms that we'll probably back ourselves out of there within a month or two."

Who voted for these ass-clowns??

Combat-ready Iraqi formations are decreasing in number, not increasing. Therefore, nothing in 12-18 months at this rate.

David Walker, head of the Government Accountabilit Office, testified yesterday to Congress that there is a grand total of 4500 Iraq troops capable of acting independently - down from 10,000.

At that rate, they should have 375 ready in 12-18 months, then we can leave, right?

The Iraqi army has no intention of standing up, the Iraqi government has no intention of leading. If we don't get a president in '08 who will end the war, we'll never leave.

If you Republicans want to keep the White House, you'd better nominate Paul. America isn't going to vote to continue the war for another decade.

12-18 months, eh?

Gee, that takes it up through the 2008 elections and into the next president's term, by which time Bush will be back on his reconverted pig farm, getting speaking fees pay-offs so he can "replenish the ol' coffers."

This comes a total sooprise.

War is good business
invest your sons
and your grandsons.

"12-18 months, eh?"

The number 6 was tired.

At least they didn't trot out 24 or 30.

Well since they are all divided by 6 evenly they just decided to multiply the 6's to save space on the Paper report. You know it's like the Charmin Toilet Paper downsizing. They can add more rolls for the same amount of space.

Larry

"They can add more rolls for the same amount of space."

They can add more rolls for the same amount of bullshit.

-fixed

They can add more rolls for the same amount of bullshit.

-Zat

Since that's from the Charmin Commercials-you'd have to consider it bearshit......
