Are you pissed off because you feel stupid for not noticing?

Anyone can make a mistake — except me, of course. When I make a mistake, I have to take crap from a half a dozen “tolerant” liberals.

And what were you doing for two days — pouting?

I m sorry, that s only 291, 500

Frank, the population of the country was around 150 million at that time. There were approximately 330,000 Americans killed in WWII. Time to throw away that Diebold calculator of yours.

You’re forgetting the power of that “pawn of the grammar world”*, the conjunction, “if”. Use it or lose it.

*Another kickass metaphor!

You’re on your own here, and you’ve already added stuff to the mix that I’ve never said:
 Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz criticized the Army s chief of staff, Gen. Eric Shinseki, after Shinseki told Congress in February that the occupation could require  several hundred thousand troops. Wolfowitz called Shinseki s estimate  wildly off the mark.

“Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz criticized the Army’s chief of staff, Gen. Eric Shinseki, after Shinseki told Congress in February that the occupation could require “several hundred thousand troops.” Wolfowitz called Shinseki’s estimate “wildly off the mark.”

If we take a.)…..”if mistakes were made”. and add;

b.) …”fighting wars on the cheap…” followed by a dash of,

c.) “a failure to follow Gen. Forrest s prescription to get there  fustest with the mostest .

Then you have D.) Frank agreeing with Shinseki that there were
not enough troops to do the job in Iraq.

Leaving the conclusion (no doubt, incomprehensible) that FRANK
KNEW IN ADVANCE OF THE WAR IN IRAQ THAT IT WAS DOOMED
TO FAILURE BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH TROOPS——
THAT IT WAS DONE ‘ON THE CHEAP’.

It’s great to be a Republican in 21st Century America!

if (-
f) pronunciation
conj. 1. In the event that: If I were to go, I would be late.
2. Granting that: If that is true, what should we do?
3. On the condition that: She will play the piano only if she is paid.

You:
Are you telling us you ve known all along this has
been a formula for failure?

Me: No answer. Not yes, not no, no answer.

I repeat my question: Where did I say that the war in Iraq was a failure from the beginning.
You’re irritating tone of feigned superiority is wasted.
Once again, you are crowing before dawn! (How’s that for a kickass metaphor!)

“Let me excise the the salient point…”

You’re so funny when you’re pretentious…

The rest is all rhetoric. The  world will never stop hating us, until they imitate us, which is why they hate us.

Fighting wars  on the cheap is an unfortunate leftover from the Viet Nam days. And it is costing us dearly in Iraq. We got away with it in Gulf War I and Kosovo, but it was never meant to be the best strategy. Unfortunately, Forrest s advice is still the best.

Holy Mother of God! Are you telling us you ve known all along this has

YOU: *crickets*

I realize that I did not holler, “Frank!” and although you are a senior
citizen, I previously saw no reason for you not to recognize your
own words.

Anyhew, to keep you on track let me excise the salient point that
illustrates your agreement with Gen Shinseki’s strategy of
overwhelming force. Goin’ on the ‘cheap’ in Iraq was both a
real and conceptual failure.

” If there was a mistake made, it was a failure to follow Gen. Forrest s prescription to get there  fustest with the mostest .”

Just a little while back, you were complaining that the terrorists were pouring into Iraq for the Baghdad Blockbuster Party? Which is it? Are they coming or going?

Of course, you wouldn’t be happy with whoever took ever Iraq — he’d just be an American puppet anyhow.

It so easy to fill in that blank, isn’t? But then 2,300+ Americans just died to _________

So 291.5 million Americans died (between 1941 and 1945) just to ________

World War II was that rare beats, a justified war. It wasn’t quite good against evil, but the Axis certainly were, in no uncertain terms, evil, and had they taken control of Europe, or even the world, billions would have suffered. Whereas Iraq is nothing so much as economists, politicians and capitalists playing chess.

Winning is having a stabilized Iraq, where the Iraqis control the last remaining terrorists. Reversing the conventional (i.e., liberal) logic, since the appearance of the Americans brought about the appearance of the terrorist, then the departure of the Americans should bring about the disappearance of the terrorists. Right?

Can that be done before the Republicans regain the House and Senate in 2006? Maybe.

By the end of 2007? Definitely.

Define “stabilized”. Iraq could be very stable at the whims of Sadr and Sistani and their ilk, which is most likely to be the outcome. But then 2,300+ Americans just died to create the new Iran. Nice.
