Tribes.
Freaking animals.
Welcome to FR. Interesting post.
What a primitive culture. Jurassic park.
Could this be the beginning of the end of the so-called “insurgency”?
I think so
If the USA was convinced that Iraq would not fall into the hands of Al Quaeda, nor into the hands of Iran or Iranian puppets, we’d pack our #%^#$%^ as quick as we could and leave. Perhaps the Sunnis have finally realized that fact.
I still wonder if a deal isn’t in the works somehow that would partition Iraq into 3 parts — Kurdistan, a Sunni part, and a shiite-ty part.
I think maybe the threat of the dems pulling out rhetoric might be making these people to wise up. If the Americans leave a real civil war is in the future for them.
“I think maybe the threat of the dems pulling out rhetoric might be making these people to wise up.”
My Dem Senator, Levin, said as much. However, his office fully expects us to be there for at least 2 more years. Remember, his district (Michigan) would be very had hit — devastated — if the middle east oil supply died up.
The dems finally realized what I’d been saying for months... that we’ll be in Iraq past the next election, that their rhetoric on the war will cost them the election, and if they do win, they’ll have to govern with a promise to retreat.
Actually, I’ve always thought a 3-way partition was the way to go with some sort of oil-revenue sharing plan behind it. I really don’t think the three groups can get along at this point. Perhaps a generation down the road, but not now. The US and other countries interested in promoting real peace in Iraq (and the region) should begin to seriously advance such proposals.
Yea, the sandal is on the other foot when it’s their blood and their treasure.
I wonder what would happen if they woke up tomorrow and we were gone. It would be fun having a couple of drones taking video of that. You know, the Democrats may have swerved into a humorous idea for once.
Wonder how long it would take Iraqis to learn to speak Iranian or Syrian. Better they have to slave for these countries than have their own country and be shooting at our troops.
Sometimes you have to wonder if these idiots stop to thing what they are doing. Any more, I really don’t care as long as they are not doing it to our people; i.e., screw them and stronger message to follow.
bump for later read
Have you seen this?
ping, bump and mark
ping to self when more time.
And I thought GW has been trying(4 years) to get the Sunni’s and Shiite to step up and take some responsibility. Wow, the power of the Dhiimi’s. Even creeps in here at FR.
We had a word for that in the Army, and the first half was cluster....!
