“I thought that the old hippies would have contracted a STD and their brains would be mush by now from the free love and drugs.”

All true, LD, but they still get to vote.

So now we have a country that has contracted a STD and it’s brain is mush

Here’s the way the media will play it, and actually is doing it now:

LOOK! Obama is taking Michelle out to dinner in a completely non-contrived photo op!

……violence in Iraq increases as troops withdraw…….

LOOK! It’s Michelle’s new guide to getting toned arms by growing arugula in your own garden!

…..sectarian fighting grows as the Iraqi government is unable to contain it……

LOOK! Obama is now in his own comic book and has an action figure line coming out!

…..Iraq has descended into anarchy and chaos…..

IT’S ALL BUSH’S FAULT!

Funny thing is he really is appearing in a comic book…..tail wagging the dog…

This will be ignored… until things fall apart completely.

Then it will be the focus of the MSM as they run stories about how “Bush’s legacy” failed and that thousands of Americans gave their lives for nothing – in fact making life worse for everyday Iraqis and (wait for it…) fueling an increase in new al Qaeda recruits who blame the US for the conditions in their country when everything was Milk and Honey during Saddam’s reign.

Rape rooms? Innumerable violations of UN regulations? Terrorist training camps? Who cares?

No, the story will simply be Bush screwed up Iraq and it will be the U.S. that’s responsible – so we must pay them reparations and restore the Shi’ites to their rightful place of power.

What happened between the invasion and Obama’s premature withdrawal of troops will be forever buried and scrubbed from news sites worldwide.

U.S. did not hire these impoverished un-uniformed Iraqies. Iraq did, and many of our soldiers weren’t even told, and it’s taken a toll on U.S. soldiers as it’s hard to tell if they are good or bad. No way to identify them. Obama is sticking to have them out by June. Bush refused to give a date, so Obama promised America a date. No way they can go out at same time, though it would be great, as U.S. soldiers lower in number, their lives are more jeopardized, when stupid Obama and Iraq keep giving the deadline out.

Strange, we have not gotten any free oil or fuel for our military while over there these years.
Saddam isn’t there to hog the oil. Where’d it go.

So where are all the critics that said we weren’t making any progress in Iraq? And that it had become another Vietnam? Obviously our brave men and women there were making a difference because no sooner do they leave a secured area back into the hands of the nationals than the whole place goes to Hell in a hand basket. For what it’s worth, I’ll be so glad when all these nay saying defeatist hippies finally die off and take all their negativism/hate America to the grave with them. Too bad however, that they’ve already prosyletized and poisoned the young minds of the next generation.

Another Obama foreign-policy failure.

(And a vindication for the Republicans who argued for staying.)

Anybody with family or friends in Iraq needs to help them escape now……before the TMCC enables the slaughter of millions there.
