Michelle Malkin has another report from Baghdad up. Includes multiple links.
The concern, of course, is that you can't put the economic revitalization cart before the security horse--which is why executing the surge and clear-and-hold plans successfully is so key.
(dusting cobwebs off clothes) I'm still waiting to hear the viable solution for Iraq from the Dems. (tic.....tic.....tic....) ..drip...drip....
...glad I'm not holding my breath.

Your war, your mess, your disgrace. You fix it. Mission accomplished.

"Your war, your mess, your disgrace. You fix it."
The dems don't want to let anyone "fix it" - they're angling for the Killing Fields v2.0

You 'patriots' have had since 2003 to "fix it". Quagmire, civil war, defeat. What fools.
Posted by: Artie | Friday, January 19, 2007 at 03:25 PM
"fools"? as opposed to the brainy warriors whose "ideas" consist of:
1) run away!
2) whatever you want to do, we're against it!
3) we told you so!
uh-huh. enjoy your temporary tiny congressional majority, punks. you won't be able to *change the subject* for the whole 2 years.

Only a Dummocrat would think calling someone a 'patriot' is an insult - but then - only a Dummocrat would advocate affirmative action for failed "liberals" in the form of a "Fairness Doctrine". Dummocrats make great little fascists. Look at that pussy Mike Stark. But I digress. Why should they have any plans for Iraq? Your talking about a group of people who can't read the word, "Off" on their radio.

...and yes, I know, before some libtard uses my typo against me, I meant, "You're talking about about a group ..." etc.

Until you morons either find the WMDs or bin Laden, it's really time to STFU. If you haven't noticed, you and your stuttering leader are irrelevant.
Posted by: Artie | Friday, January 19, 2007 at 04:38 PM
quick, artie, before you die of smugness, *DO* enlighten us 31% droolers of your plan to make things better. i posted earlier that your plans will include the phrase "run away like a little bitch", but then, i'm a stupid non-kneejerkoff hardcore leftwing unthinking automaton. so what do i know, right?
since i couldn't *possibly* be right in any prediction made about your "ideas", i'm sure that whole "run away" thing won't come up.
so! enlighten us, o brainy one! your plan is....?

The plan is to defund the Bush 'cakewalk'. It is the biggest foreign policy disaster of our lifetimes (WMDs, liberation, victory, oil to pay for the war etc). Time to cut our losses and relegate your leader to the spot of total irrelevance that he deserves. Party's over boys.

Artie,
Forget Bush, oil, et.al., for a minute and answer this hypothetical:
Name two things that would be good about having a democratic country friendly to America, the EU, Canada, Great Britain and Israel in the Middle East.
1.
2.

so, artie, you admit i was **right** when i predicted your "plan" would be along the lines of "run away like a little bitch".
since i'm smart enough to predict your idiotically, painfully childlike political 'thought', it's clear that i'm also dead on when i say "liberal swine like yourself want america to lose in iraq; also everywhere else. having that would happen would just make you clap your tiny little hands in glee, like that time when that marxist english prof gave you an 'A' for your essay "death to bush". "
a real pity god let you go, there, artie. a damn shame.
