Super. So what will next week’s American casualties have died for? Let’s go home.

Not until the oil under the sand has ceased to exist.

Oh thank god. We can go home now.

It’s funny. If Democrats cheered all the good news… it’s certain the Republicans would be claiming Iraq is in really bad shape, which is why we need to stay there.

Great. Time to declare victory and get the hell out. If Iraq crumbles into ruin a week after we leave, it’s only because the Iraqis didn’t want Democracy strongly enough.

If the Republicans acknowledge this, they will insist that it is vitally important that American troops stay (for a few years of course), to “help.” Or to “prevent a resumption of attacks by those eeeeevil Iranians”. Or something.
But to bring our troops home to safety, getting them well deserved rest and equipment upgrades?
Nah. Then they can’t blame the (new) Democratic president, in 2010, for the sorry state of our armed forces, can they ?

Iranian intervention has ceased to exist? Al-Maliki is seriously off message. He’ll be getting a call from Cheney.

The Maliki idea of progress.

And the backpeddaling will begin in 5…4…3…
The soldiers can come home, Maliki can keep the Blackwater Goons Squad.

Uh huh: “That’s flowers and candies, you idiot! Mwah, mwah, mwah!”

Hence my comment on the other thread….somebody…PLEASE.. go check Powerlie and RudeState and let us know what their response is. You’d THINK they’d be estatic and claiming VICTORY!…my guess is that they’ll merely take the opposite tack that the Dems adopt, no matter what it is.

Don’t question the programmed lefty killbots’ support for the troops!

Wow. I bet that guy represents the entire Left. Composition fallacy for teh win!
KCinDC
And here I’d thought Lambchop actually wasn’t a spoof (unlike most of the other Bushites here).

Well, the guy’s got the drill down. “I wasn’t sure I found an insurgent, so I killed some civilians…”

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will announce next week that there are no American casualties for that week.
