Cheney said something interesting this morning....british withdrawal is a good sign, it means things are looking up. however, leave it to a liberal nutjob to spin that in to doom and gloom...link courtesy of the liberal media(abc). Link
And you are stupid enough to believe this. If things are looking up then why Bush is sending more troops and asking for more money for this war? Why is he begging the east European countries to send 10-20 soldiers? Coalition of unwilling Number of troops: Albania: 120 Lithuania: 53 Armenia: 46 Bosnia and Herzegovina: 36 Estonia: 35 Macedonia: 40 Kazakhstan: 27 Moldova: 11 Netherlands : 15 Bulgaria : 155 Slovakia: 103 Slovenia: 4 Compare the number of soldiers above to 1600 British soldiers leaving. I also wonder how much it has cost American tax payers in the form of foreign help to get 27 soldiers from Kazakhstan or 4 soldiers from Slovenia.
Who is begging? More lies? He's asking for more money and a surge through Bahgdad to clear out your buds. Obviously that's why you are so upset about it. Or, compare that to the 5500 staying. Typical gworld, ungrateful. I'll honor those soldiers above and say "thank you" for helping take out gworld's buddies. Never a bad word for the terrorists blowing up Iraqis over there.
Britian only had roughly 7500 troops to begin with....how bad do you hate the USA that you can't say a good word about our troops? I guess when you live in your own little (g)world, you can hate whomever you want, and support whatever terrorist you want.
It seems they are already planning to pull those soldiers out too. I am sure if USA pay enough to Slovenia in foreign aid they will keep their 4 soldiers there to help.
How fast they will withdraw depends on how hot it will get for Blair. May be Bush can give couple of more millions to Slovenia so they can increase the number of their troops from 4 to 6 and then Bush can claim that USA allies have increased their troops by 50%.
It seems to me that if we here in the US would learn from the successes of the British plan in IRAQ we might be able to get more support and start withdrawing soon as well. I'm all for reform, as long as it takes an intelligent direction rather than "Now for something completely different!" just to be different so you can call it reform.
A democrat dressed as a republican. Poor gworld, all upset that his buds are getting a bad rap Good news for America means anger for gworld.
