Lets explore a few myths:
1. If we were to accept the Dems benchmarks it would be tantomount to surrender.
Response: Oh really? Will we be signing surrender papers on the battleship ISS Hussein? Do you really think the Sunnis, Shias and Kurds met at Potsdam and planned some long occupation for us? Give them time and your current strategy and it could happen.
2. If we withdrew the Iraqis would follow us here.
Response: Oh yeah? So they'll jump on their magic carpets to American and kill us all? you are obviously insane.
3. If we withdrew it would be a surrender to their subjugating ust to converting to Islam and praying to Mecca.
Response: Ok, you are insane and religious, too. The funny part would be if this delusional scenario were realized you, the ultimate enemy of the ACLU would join forces with them to protect your children from being forced to praying to Allah in our public schools. Yeah, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse you would be a card carrying member of the ACLU.
4. If we were to pull out Al Quaida would just set up terrorist training camps in Iraq.
Response: Have you not been paying attention these last four years? I can't imagine a better terrorist training ground than the anarchy we created in Iraq. If anything, leaving would likely lead the Iraqi people to kick out a few other meddling foreigners if you get my drift. But then that would require the application of logic.
Want to know how us liberals could have a better answer to your maniacially crazy problems? We leave, now. Better yet, we leave yesterday. And quickly at that.
Of course history is replete with people like neocons frustrating those who actually know what is going on from making smart decisions. No good neocon would abandon Stalingrad. Midway was the naval battle to end all naval battles. Tet would drive Americans out of South Vietnam. All foolish extremist ideas came to naught. That should be a message for all to learn.
Unless you're insane and fear 25 million Iraqis swimming to America to convert us to Islam. Keep doing what we are doing and they migh actually think that is a good idea, just to force us to leave them the hell alone.
Quite lengthy guidance, too, by insta-standards, but perhaps some perplexed insta-fans were asking pesky insta-questions. The insta-professor gets testy.

UPDATE: Reader Ted Clayton emails: "Perhaps you could specify who "they" refers to. "As you can see [if you weren't such wankers] from reading [you morons are as lazy and stupid as my students] the linked item, it refers to those allegedly-progressive Westerners who refuse to hold non-Westerners to the same moral standards applied to, say, America and Britain. That should be obvious [Lord, sometimes I wonder why I even bother educating the rabble] to, well, anyone who's paying attention.

And one final coda by the master :
ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Drew Kelley writes: 'I am shocked, shocked, to find prejudice among our "best and brightest'." The descent of the "progressives" into racist double-standards is an old story, but it's still one that bears pointing out now and then.

Ubermenchen or not our misadventure in Iraq has not yet hit rock bottom..
There are all to many who have not foreseen what a true real defeat in Iraq will produce..
I'm not talking about a forced pull out, as an eventuality but a true real defeat of American forces and an absolute debacle tragedy which will alter for ever the balance of power..
This inability to foresee a true military defeat is a fatal flaw and it's true for neo-con idiots and also many on the left as well who also fall into the myth of American invincibility..
Ask yourself what was the first "weapon of mass destruction..?"
Do you realize the potential danger our troops and much of the Shiia especially population are exposed to..
Do you know the prophesy of the Euphrates running dry and this sparking so much of what many consider Armageddon..?
Why would the Euphrates run dry from a drought..?
Or just the opposite, a flood which bursts it's banks and floods everything from Baghdad to Basra..
Remember the sand storms how they said how fine it was a got into everything..?
Well that's because it's not sand, its dried silt..!
Where is there a body of water that if released could flood down the mountains hit the Baghdad region and burst the banks of the great Euphrates..?
That's right it's in Syria..!
Now the area between the Euphrates and Tigress is lower than either of those rivers and the banks of these rivers are made up of thousands of years of accumulated silt..
A Flood as predicted in the Bible would burst the banks of the Euphrates and flood all the way to the gulf..
Also everything would sink in that silt..everything all equipment and men and women and cattle everything..
We have no business in Iraq/Babylon/Mesapotamia and the Bible tells us that all this occurs after Moab returns to the land of Mesapotamia well MOAB has returned to Mesapotamia so this huge ruinous defeat is not far off now..
Why is it that in an administration supposedly committed to their theological ideology chooses to ignore at all our jeopardy these very specific warnings..?
Is it Bush's messianic self appointed mission as Brzenski and I have already concluded or just the characteristic arrogance and incompetence that is it's hallmark..?
It says in Revelation that "the flood gates will open and never be closed again..!"
Where were the flood gates 2,000 years ago in that region..?
There weren't any..!
Who opens them and spills out the largest body of fresh water in the middle east..could be any one and even done as our government already knows by computer or sabotage assault..
Know the story of Gilgamesh or Noah we're talking that kind of Flood..in the same region which has already occurred so I, we know where the water goes and what it does..
What's the General's plan for this contingency..?
They wanted a "Surge" well that may be exactly what they'll get..
I've shared this with Senators and our Pentagon but they choose to ignore this, well remember these are the same idiots that got us into this mess and waste and ruin and also the same ones many of them who allowed our entire nuclear arsenal to be stolen as well..!
Ok that's all just hope and pray that our Congress gets our troops out of Iraq before it's to late..
