There will be some violence in Iraq if we leave, but the Iraqis will sort it out, the Congressman said.
“The Iraqis will realize it’s stupid to keep killing each other,” Stark said. “They will come back to a stabilized society.”
“Well, we could gas them? We could throw them all in prison.”
Fortney "Pete" Stark is the stark raving Dhimmicrat from California's 13th District.
Sure, he's right about that. But the whole point of staying is to help build up the Iraqis we want to stay in control of Iraq by stacking the deck in their favor with training, native troop numbers, and institutional history. Factors that the cut and run, anti-war idiots seem to overlook.
There's also the fact that no non-extremist government is going to be popular with the terrorists, and that as long as their are extremists, there will be terrorism against secular, Christian, and moderate governments and societies.
Stark, the author who wrote his opinions and their publisher are so irrelevant, that conservative site readers shouldn't be bothered with their anti-defense, anti-American material.
If there's too much trouble in Iraq, taking Iran's leaders and military forces down will solve it. The area is a good base of operations from which to win the War on Terror.
That's all I had a read. He's a f'ing loon.
I hope the voters stop the stupid Stark.
He and his voters are lunatics. Fortney is practically to the left of Boxer.
Gee - how about another command...."Stand Fast!"
Stick it Stark where the sun don't shine!
. . . which is run by people loyal to the winners, either Saddam Hussein or Osamma ben Laden or both. Iraq was so "stable" under Hussein that 4% of the population was killed and 10% of the population emigrated in terror.And Stark wants Iraq - wants all of the middle east - run by people who identify America with Bill Clinton - vain, self absorbed, narcissistic and ineffectual. People who think that, the number and quality of our weapons and our military personnel notwithstanding, we can be conquered because we will collapse if pushed. People, IOW, who see the United States in essentially the same terms that Ronald Reagan saw the USSR.
There will be some violence in Iraq if we leave, but the Iraqis will sort it out, the Congressman said.
Yeah, just like in Vietnam.
What a loser this guy is!
The foul-mouthed, foul-tempered Pete Stark has been for years a member in good standing of the Democrat Progressive (Marxist) Caucus in the House. As the American Left has come to embrace the Islamist right, politics has come full circle.
it's also called "retreat" and if put in the proper context it would be just like in the Monty Python movie "The Holy Grail", "Run away, run Away".
Right in the middle of the Democrat base.
or what we’re fighting for?
This guy is really stupid, how did he get this job? Was he in a comma on 9/11?
I read this after your timely post about the mind of terrorists and just have to wonder if the liberal think is just a coincidence.
What would we do with the 10 to 12 million people who would probably vote for democrats?
Thats what worries stark and his cronies .
Of course the first thing is we bring this border crossing thing to a screeching halt., The we start sending illegals back whenever and wherever they are found, and fining their employers.
"There will be some violence in Iraq if we leave, but the Iraqis will sort it out, the Congressman said."
Just as there was 'some violence' in Vietnam when we last followed the democrat strategy.
Peter Stark is an utter moron who has obviously gone senial. Hey Pete, 9-11-01. Grow up you super stupid twit. It is NOT 1971 and this is NOT Vietnam.
Kalifornian's have got to be proud of the "pile of crap"...they keep reelecting him to office!
