This Never Gets Old

I never get tired of pointing out how fucking funny it is that the US is relying on the UN to bail it out of the Iraq mess.

There was a lot of empty, tough talk from Shrub last night about American resolve to finish the job and "stay the course" in Iraq. But when asked about to whom the US will be handing power on June 30, Shrub said that was someone else's job to figure out: U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.

However, the LA Times -- which is fast becoming the best source for Iraq-related news -- reports this morning that the expectations placed on the UN are "not only inflated, but they are also dangerous," and that Brahimi didn't have the answers for the caretaker government, that it's up to the Iraqis.

Last night, "Shrub's" performance proved it. We need a president with corleone soul.

I'd like you to consider reading the text for a "state of the union" address that I believe is imperative for this country of ours. To get to it, all you need do is click on the below enclosed U.R.L

What course are we actually "staying"? Shrub talks about "resolve", "Staying the course", "finish the job". Cheap talk if you ask me. We made major two blunders in Iraq (discounting the WMD fiasco) not providing enough soldiers and security (thanks Rummy et al for trying to make a point about a small invasion force and dissing the Euros) and not moving fast on reconstruction (Electricity and AC would have been nice). They have botched this and now they want the UN, military and even the State Department to bail them out.

I think that it's absolutely fucking pathetic that you and the few others like you are actually rooting for us to fail in Iraq just so you can see Bush huniliated. You are all nothing but a bunch of spolied, inconsequential little pissants. Fuck you all.

Yes, we are really upset.

Some of us are the soldiers that are being made to fight this war of choice, and don't feel this cause is worth the American blood being spilled.

You obviously do. Good for you. You go fight it. Maybe you're over there right now, I don't know. But you sound like an ignorant ass.

Newsflash to Dan R.: we've *already* failed in Iraq. It's over. Now it's just a matter of mitigating the damage that's been done and bringing home as many Americans alive and not maimed as possible, ASAP.

Carl: are you in Iraq, or were you?

Hey, drop a line if/when you go. If you could email or post while you're there that'd be great. Stay alive.
