Lieberman-in Iraq

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Always liked Lieberman and even over many Reb pres candidates--however the Deans/Kenndeys will never let him get to be be runner.

Back from his 4th trip to Iraq in 17 months he reports--Would encourage reading entire link--Bush might want to take few notes himself

http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110007611

"Here is an ironic finding I brought back from Iraq. While U.S. public opinion polls show serious declines in support for the war and increasing pessimism about how it will end, polls conducted by Iraqis for Iraqi universities show increasing optimism. Two-thirds say they are better off than they were under Saddam, and a resounding 82% are confident their lives in Iraq will be better a year from now than they are today. What a colossal mistake it would be for America's bipartisan political leadership to choose this moment in history to lose its will and, in the famous phrase, to seize defeat from the jaws of the coming victory."

Hmmm "seize defeat from the jaws of the coming victory" now where have I heard this before

 

[djv]

The part they all seem to forget is victory from what. We went there and invaded with out being asked to come. They had nothing to do with 9/11. So our invasion was a great victory none say any different. Now what?

Time magazine Baghdad bureau chief Michael Ware on Morning Sedition this morning:



I and some other journalists had lunch with Senator Joe Lieberman the other day and we listened to him talking about Iraq. Either Senator Lieberman is so divorced from reality that he's completely lost the plot or he knows he's spinning a line. Because one of my colleagues turned to me in the middle of this lunch and said he's not talking about any country I've ever been to and yet he was talking about Iraq, the very country where we were sitting.

Didn't you just repeat the same thing that Master Capper typed? Does he go to the bathroom for you too?

Gee, I'm so shocked that those words would come out of the mouth of an un-biased "Time Magazine" employee lol.

Iraq Report -

? More than 120 Iraqi army and police combat battalions, comprised of between 250 and 800 Iraqi forces, are in fighting terrorists; of these, about 80 battalions are fighting with coalition forces, and about 40 are taking the lead.

? More than 30 Iraqi army battalions have assumed primary control of their own areas of responsibility; Iraqi battalions in Baghdad have "taken over major sectors of the capital, including some of the city's toughest neighborhoods." One of those, Bush said, includes Haifa Street, which last year was nicknamed "Purple Heart Boulevard."

? About 90 square miles of Baghdad province is under the control of Iraqi security forces. In addition, in south-central Iraq, sectors of southeast Iraq, sectors of western Iraq, and sectors of north-central Iraq are being controlled by Iraqi forces.

?With coalition help, Iraqis have established schools for Iraqi military services: an Iraqi military academy, a noncommissioned officer academy, a military police school, a bomb disposal school, and NATO has established an Iraqi joint staff college. Professional development courses for Iraqi squad leaders, platoon sergeants, warrant officers and sergeants major are also offered.

? The country now has six basic police academies and one in Jordan that produce over 3,500 new police officers every 10 weeks. At the Baghdad police academy, simulation models allow Iraqis to train to stop improvised explosive device attacks and operate roadblocks. They're also getting live-fire training with AK-47s.

? Iraqis now have a small air force that recently conducted its first combat airlift operations, bringing Iraqi troops to the front in Tal Afar.

? The Iraqi navy is helping protect the ports of Basra and Umm Qasr.

? A national depot has been built north of Baghdad to supply logistical needs for 10 divisions of the Iraqi army. In addition, regional support units and base support units have been created to supply Iraqi war-fighters.

? An Iraqi military intelligence school has been established to produce Iraqi intelligence analysts and collectors.


All this in under 3 years.....now go read your Time Magazine. :mj07:

Wow Mason, with all that progress we should be able to get outta there right after the elections in a few weeeks. Looks like the Iraqis have it under control!

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" lol

I'd llike to see how long it would take a democrat to overthrow 2 Islamic terrorist nations and turn them into safe voting democracies. I'd like to see how long it would take a democrat to liberate 50,000,000 people. My brother in law has served 2 missions in Baghdad with the 10th Mountain division and he tells me a whole different story about Iraq than you do Kosar. Your opinion of Iraqi progress is about as valuable as the caca on the bottom of my shoe. Since when are you the military expert Kosar? lol

Just sit in the back seat, eat your cookie, and keep whining and complaining in Madjacks 24/7. Nice life. :mj07:

 

[kosar]

into safe voting democracies.

:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

Exactly!! These things take years, not months.

Can you explain why the Iraqis had a higher voter turnout percentage than we did then?

 

[kosar]

Sure.

1. Americans are lazy in general.

Manson! King of the Quotes! How's the Kool Aid?

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

Ask Kerry, Clinton, Gore, Pelosi, Albright, Hillary, Levin, Berger, Pelosi, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Byrd.

Either they all "lied" about WMD's in Iraq or they were all drinking cool-aide....which one is it?

 

[CHARLESMANSON]

Here's a quote for you Miss Sheehan:

"And mark my words, he will develop weapons of mass destruction. He will deploy them, and he will use them. The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government"....... Bill Clinton - Oval Office 12-16-98

Enjoy your day in Madjacks. :s4:

 

[Chadman]

Hey, Manson...where did you get that quoted "ASSessment" of the Iraq preparedness from?

Speaking of Air America I was told earlier that Bill O'Reilly is "SCARED TO DEATH" of Al Franken!!!

:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

Why would the #1 Cable News Host in the country be "scared to death" of somebody on a 3rd rate radio station who nobody even listens to?
