AMERICAblog: US diplomats avoiding Iraq like the plague

    Everyone who voted for and supports this occupation should be required to work there for a year.

    I think the Bush Administration should be put on notice by Congress they can't expand the Iraq War into Iran until after the election. I KNOW they are looking for something BIG to try to avert our eyes from their disasters here at home. Congress should send them a message that they MUST get TOTAL BUY IN to attack Iran so that they can't use more WAR BULLCRAP to try to rally voters to their side through fear. This whole mantra Iran is behind all the turmoil in Iraq is just WAY TOO OBVIOUS to me and others. They are desperate to expand the war, and make the "undecideds" afraid. I think they will wait until its closer to the election, but our Democratic Leaders need to take PRE-EMPTIVE action to keep the Bu$hco. Admin from expanding war right now. Its been disastrous enough for us.

    "Everyone who voted for and supports this occupation should be required to work there for a year."

    I agree, and disagree. I think they should be over there, but fighting instead of working.

    Those that are "working" over there are WAR PROFITEERS. I know some and they are making excessive salaries off a FAILED and DISASTROUS policy by the Bu$h regime. Many of them cheerlead the war effort because they don't want the money siphon turned off anytime soon. Those that supported or continue to support the war need to start taking IED's like our troops.

    For instance, I know some war profiteers working over there, and have heard them say, "If the war will just last a couple more years, we will be able to burn our mortgage for our $500,000.00 home." Imagine that! While the rest of America is losing their homes, these folks are burning their mortgage by attaching themselves to companies like Halliburton who is providing substandard service to troops while gorging from our U.S. Treasury.

    All USG employees assigned to Iraq must sign an additional nondisclosure agreement valid for 5 years....a friend of mine who was posted there "nondisclosed" this to me when I asked him some questions.

    "If the war will just last a couple more years, we will be able to burn our mortgage for our $500,000.00 home."

    That is very disgusting cowboy. Especially when you consider that NONE of the US soldiers will be able to do that. Their homes are probably being foreclosed on if they were lucky enough to have one in the first place.
  • KerrynowCampau · 1 year ago
    And I agree with you. War supporters and voters should be fighting over there. Give the poor soldiers a break.

    OT PSA...

    Use the words VIAGRA or CIALIS in all your emails...maybe in your sig line...supposedly NSA filters recognize these emails as SPAM and dump them...can't verify this one. Back to regularly sked programming.

    Obama was correct with his bitter comment. It is interesting to see how quickly the subject is being dropped since McCain sees that Obama was right. People are bitter and mad about republican leadership. McCain is now running from the issue.

    No use for diplomacy while Iraq remains a terrorist hell hole, thanks war criminal president.

    Perhaps people like Dan Senor could forego the vast profits they've amassed from the failed neoconjob to rehabilitate themselves with a return to Iraq duty...Kiss Campbell goodbye, Dan

    Also...What a joke the tiny-dicked Blitzer is!!! Accidentally had Siteachshun Rhume on while awaiting Hardball and heard Wolf try to milk a few more "bitter" drops out of Ed Gillespie. Even Gillespie had better sense than old Israel Blitzer...With so little to deal with I've wondered how the rabbi attempted baby Wolf's Bris Milah???
    CNN is a joke, a corporate slut and a TVboarding loser. And Blitzer??? The Princess Tiny Meat of short, hairy losers.

    Some day all this talk about death, destruction and hazard will be just academic. See?

    It's much too safe and stable in Iraq for US diplomats, dontchaknow?
    Last throes.
    Heck of a surge.
    Last throes.
    Turning a corner.
    Last throes.
    F. Units galore.
    Last throes.
    Six days, six weeks, I doubt six months!
    Last throes!
