Will the US withdraw in shame from Iraq after the election.

You two have been taken in by Bush's latest spin....

Jesus.. this is getting hilarious... Iraq is still a mess, but now it's a political mess too and the Repugs are sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling lalalalala

..and the Iranians, Chinese and North Koreans are telling them to stick it as well.

*gloats.

Oh I forgot my personal favourite.

Bush spent the week spinning the Lebanon protests as the revolt of the vast majority of Lebanese against their Syrian overlords.

A pity that a few days later Hezbollah managed to dwarf the protests of the so-called "majority" with its "**** off America and Israel!" rally.

What was even funnier was watching the Hezbollah protests on CNN as the anchors were trying to dismiss it as a minority of fanatics whilst we were being shown video of what looked like about a million Lebanese protestors.

*gloats at Hezbollah pwning Bush.

*gloats at the pathetic attempts of the American media to hide it.

*gloats again at nothing in particular.

Agathon, surely by now you feel too vindicated to really give a f*ck? I personally think it would be silly for the US to withdraw because then Iraq will really go downhill. They made a commitment when they invaded, idiotic as it was, and they now have to see it through until Iraq is well again. If they didn't understand that when they went in, well it's chuckletown for Rummy!

They might as well withdraw. This stupid 2/3 majority business has rendered the Iraqi elections useless.

They might as well leave it to the Iraqis to sort it out themselves. At least they'd get something they wanted instead of something Bush wants.

Iraq will never be well as long as foreign meddlers have a hand in it.

Besides - this notion that they can't sort it out themselves is exactly the same sort of colonialist mentality the British had when they invaded Iraq. And we know how wrong they were...

Behold the minority of fanatical anti-American Lebanese.

[Agathon]

The "vast majority" of Lebanese love America!!!

[Agathon]

Most of all they hate Syria... no wait.. this is a pro-Syrian march.. I wonder what the "foreign interference" could be...

I thjought that what he was doing was more along the lines of demanding that they leave after thay had already announced their plans to depart. He appears to be using this episode as a cheap, risk free means of looking tough.

[Drake Tungsten]

Does Bush really need any more means of looking tough?

[Dr Strangelove]

Evidently he thinks so.

[Drake Tungsten]

I guess it's impossible that he actually cares about getting the Syrians out of Lebanon...

[Seeker]

Given his track record of vile evil it's legitimate to doubt his motives.

[Drake Tungsten]

He is indeed teh evil. Chimphitler...

Why would there be? It contradicts Agathon's point and is therefore irrelevent to him.
