NO EXIT WHILE WAITING FOR GODOT

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God"

(Matthew 5:9).

There is no plan to exit.

The surge will surge and surge and surge and surge until Iraq is safe and secure.

We will fight the radicals and extremists until Wal*Mart and the Golden Arches can safely operate in Iraq.

Don't ask when the United States is going to exit Iraq.

It’s unpatriotic.

It’s a no-brainer.

Certain voices on the other side (and I don't mean that side) are asking me when the United States will leave Iraq.

Get yourselves a Ouija board.

It'll tell you more than I'll tell you.

I listen only to my inner voice and the voice of the Almighty.

(No, He's not that Allah fellow.)

Well, I've got to take Barney for a walk.

He does everything that I tell him.

He obeys the Decider better than Democrats and the

American people.

From "All of the Problems Come from the Occupation"

Iraqis will be the Deciders

By MARJORIE COHN

As Congress debates whether to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, George Bush is trying to buy time. He and Dick Cheney have no intention of ever pulling out of Iraq.

Cheney commissioned a 2000 report by the neoconservative Project for a New American Century, which said "the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein." A document for Cheney's secret energy task force included a map of Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, refineries, charts detailing Iraqi oil and gas projects, and a "Foreign Suitors for Iraq Oil Contracts." It was dated March 2001, six months before 9/11.
