Get The Troops Out of Iraq:

I think enough's been said and done in Iraq. What happened to the idea of training the Iraqis to fight for themselves. It shouldn't take more than a month, if that. "Here, aim and pull the trigger. Use barricades here, and dig trenches there. And if you need to, you can get weapons from us, and if you don't have enough money, maybe you can trade us some oil for weapons. Set up your own draft. Everyone carry shields while riding busses etc. If you people wanna live, you gotta try hard enough. We did you a job, and happy we did it. Now you do it.
And since this place is so dangerous, maybe put small walls next to sidewalks for people to hide behind for emergencies or for simply walking around, and you get lucky enough to be behind one when a bomb goes off or possibly gunfire. If you need to, get some helicopters and patrol the outside of your own city. It's like police cars in America patrolling city blocks. Have at least one big bomb on them just in case.
You wanna start a democracy? Start by voting how you should do your military. And your president should always carry a shield, a bulletproof vest, and a pistol."
Say it all in one day, and have them practice it for a month. They can announce it on T.V. to other cities there and/or train other cities, we can't do it all. They could even have a training video specified for Iraq, or just have a temporary "Iraqi Military Talk Show". That way, IF needed, only a small group of knowledgable Americans would be there, and maybe help on the talk show or training video.

I was surprised to see Sen. Chambliss

hit Gen Abizasid with just this message when the General
appeared before the Senate the other day. Chambliss,Ga, Rep.
was unusually short and to the point.

Not exact quote but pretty darn close.
General it is now 4 years, we have heard give us another
18 months over and over. What is it going to take to
get the Iraqies to fight??? We take young men bring them
in give them a few weeks training and send them to fight
in Iraq. When are the Iraqiis going to fight for their
country???

This was essentially his testimony. His voice and demeanor
told the story as he spoke. Not a happy camper.

Hopefully, more Republicans will begin to see the
craziness of this war.

IMO, right now they(Adm. and those responsible for war
decisions) are really trying to find a way out and
save face at the same time. They cannot dither too
much longer. Our kids are dying as they try to save
face. As most of you know i monitor a lot of TV and
this is my interpretation of what I am seeing.
Get a move on , Folks.

After what Georgie's little cakewalk has already cost...

[and I have to credit Kucinich with this one]...you have the money in the pipeline. When it's gone, you had better have our critters en-route home 'cause there isn't going to be any more money.

Further, give to the Iraqis, Georgie's temple of US Embassy splendor to replace the buildings that he so casually blew away.

The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.
