WELL of course a compromise can be made with this puppet. It would be like Bush getting all uppity untill Uncle Richard put him in his place.

Look Iraq...George and John McSame said we ain''t leavin'' so what part of that don''t you understand? We had over 4000 troops killed taking over your country and we''ll leave when we want to. Boy does that sound a little strange to anyone else? It sounds strange to me.

the Stupid Dems has done it again! The Dems have times and again sell out our troops and national interests since the Vietnam days ( except for Bill Clinton , the only Good Dem in this nation). Disagree with the reasons to go into Iraq all you want , but now , as things are getting better , this is the time we demand pay-backs from the Iraqis for our effort , not that we wanted to rob them as we went in like the Dems claim , but as our troops sacrificed tremendouslly there for their freedom and safety from a civil war , we should see some gratitudes of some sorts , but no , Now our troops are kicked out , why they did not do that before the Surge , when the killings were still going on , why now ? all because of the Dems politicians , the Iraqis would not have the guts to talk to us like this if it is not for Obama and the stupid Dems .

Iraq is a country with the same rights to run their own business as any other country. al-Maliki is the leader of that country. He has co-leaders that must approve laws and a legislature that must pass laws and voters he must keep happy. If the US stays in Iraq he and his party stand little chance of being re-elected to their positions. How will Senator McCain''s election change how long we will stay in Iraq if the Iraqis tell us to leave? The Iraqi oil is being sold based on Iraqi choices and not US choices now. The contract with China for a specified portion of the oil sales is currently in effect and will remain so if the Iraqi government chooses. The US has no say in this matter.

let me tell you WHY they don''t want us there.

1) We Americans killed 1M of their countrymen... some reports say 600K, you choose who to believe

2) We Americans displaced 4M of their people to other nations.

3) Families and relatives of the people above are greatly affected

4) We destroyed their infrastructure

Please tell me why they would WANT the US to stay there???

Maliki''s comments are all about the Iraqi elections in about 45 days.

After the elections, the agreement will be finished.

A lot is riding in this election folks . As this opportunist Al-Maliki sensing the support of the Dems and obama is playing tough and asking us to leave , we can either leave and let our troops'' sacrifices be done in vain , or we can topple his ungrateful gov. and put a new one in place . The Sunnis will be more than glad to help us with that , now that Al-Maliki is trying to take the guns from them . Violence is not good , so it should happen as peaceful as possible , but expect this Iraqi PM''s rhetorics amount to nothing , especially with Bush around , Bush is too smart for that , no , our troops'' sacrifices will not be for Nothing , although Obama and the Dems are trying hard to acchieve just that . But , if Obama win in Nov. , our troops will be heading home empty handed , leaving Iraq to the Chinese and Russians , if Mc Cain win , that will never happen . Either more Sunnis will be in power to counter the Shiite or Al-Maliki will compromise in some way . That is why we need to elect Mc Cain , now that Iraq is finally be of benefit to us , who would want to leave it to the Chinese ? that is why the Dems must not win this time ,and they will not win this time

Thanks to John McBush McCain''s huge big mouth about pushing Obama to go to Iraq, now the Iraqi PM, listening to Obama rather than the political hacks and political generals of the USSA, is demanding a timetable from the Great Emperor Bush about when soldiers of the USSA will leave Iraq. Needless to say, the Great Emperor Bush II is NOT TO PLEASED with the old goat right now!!!

Perhaps McCain has some more "bright ideas" about sending Obama somewhere. Maybe McCain and the neocon Fascist Nazi Republicans will push Obama to go to China to straighten out the mess in Tibet. Afterwards Obama could go to Russia and have a dialog with Putin about getting out of Georgia (McCain is still waiting for word from Gen Sherman when he reaches Atlanta!). Or perhaps Obama could go to Europe again and try to find both Chechoslavakia and Yugoslavia for McCain, who is upset that both countries are missing!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!
sig heil, "EXPERIENCE COUNTS(????!!!)", McCain!!!!!

"I''m the expert. I''m the expert on this."
McCain arguing with Romney on withdrawal from Iraq during Republican debate.


BLITZER: What -- but if Maliki persists, you''''re president and he says he wants U.S. troops out and he wants them out, let''''s say, in a year or two years or 16 months, or whatever, what do you do? Do you just -- do you listen to the prime minister?

MCCAIN: He won''t. He won''t. He won''t.


If McCain thinks he''s the expert on Iraq, we''d be in huge trouble if he were President.

Because he''s wrong. Because he''s wrong. Because he''s wrong.

ROMNEY: Why don''t you use the whole quote, Senator?

MCCAIN: ... withdrawal. That...

ROMNEY: Why don''t you use the whole quote? Why do you insist on...

MCCAIN: I''m using the whole quote, where you said "I won''t"...

ROMNEY: ... not using the actual quote? That''s not what I said.

MCCAIN: The actual quote is, "We don''t want them to lay in the weeds until we leave." That is the actual quote and I''m sure...

ROMNEY: What does that mean?

MCCAIN: ... fact-checkers --

ROMNEY: What is the meaning?

MCCAIN: It means a timetable until we leave.

ROMNEY: Listen, Senator, let''s...

COOPER: Let me jump in, because the quote that I have...

ROMNEY: Is it not fair -- is it not fair to have the person who''s being accused of having a position he doesn''t have be the expert on what his position is?

How is it that you''re the expert on my position, when my position has been very clear?

(APPLAUSE)

I''ll tell you, this is...

MCCAIN: I''m the expert. I''m the expert on this.


Republican Debate, Jan. 30, 2008

Are you better off than you were eight years ago? If so, vote for McComa.

"We are there at the invitation of the Iraqi people, and when they want us to leave, we will."

Well it seems that time has come. All the pundits crying about "no time line" evidently did not consult the Iraqis.

Obama was right - McComa was, and is still, wrong.

What is going to be interesting is when Iraq joins with its neighbors and signs a mutual defense agreement with Russia & China in exchange for access to their oil & gas fields.

The US gets Poland & Georgia (both worthless), Russia & China get Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and eventually the other Gulf States including Saudi Arabia.

Way to go, Repubs, once again, you demonstrate your total incompetence. . .

besides, when he was asked if he was anti-semitic, the reply was in spanish - maybe he''''s an illegal speaking for the country, or maybe he''''s writing from another counrty trying to portray he''''s (she''''s) an American - regardless, how can they have a pen name of ''''lovegetpeace'''' when they''''re so inclined to hate -

Posted by sbbm at 05:22 PM : Aug 25, 2008

I think if you will look back, you will see that lovegetpeace answered in English, Spanish, and French.
