Neoconservatives can't dig their way out of this hole
The more resentment and violence spawned by Middle East wars, the more wars neoconservatives want to fight.
Glenn Greenwald [2006-08-07]

  • Up is Down

    Here's another think about the war:

    The neocons and their GOP whores continually claim that "cutting and running" (the current anti-Democrat talking point regarding a phased withdrawal from Iraq) would embolden the terrorists, throw the country into chaos and civil war, and make us less safe here.

    Leaving aside the fact that the country is already IN civil war, let's look at this logically. Future reliability is based on past results, right? So, how many of the things the NeoCons told us would definitely come to pass before the war have actually happened?

    WMD? Nope.

    Welcomed as saviors? Uh-uh.

    Insurgents would fall apart? Negatory.

    War would pay for itself? Nein.

    Iraqi security would take over? Any day now, I'm sure...

    Terrorism would drop? Wrong answer.

    So, none of the things you guaranteed would happen in Iraq have happened. That would suggest that you don't know your assholes from spider holes in the ground. By that logic, your predictions of chaos, death and civil bloodshed if we pull out must be just as specious, eh?

    These clowns are the most incompetent leaders in our nation's history, unless you want to win an election through personal attacks. Then, they're brilliant.

    Let's get the hell out and see who's right.
