An Auspicious Occasion – Combat Troops Out Of Iraq

Good skit, funny and truthful. It is also time to not forget the Fvvcvvvsoldiers who are not going to Afganistan; they deserve a ticker tape parade, THEY did it, the troops,not Obuttcrack; the military did it. And, they had better be treated properly, and with respect when they returned, not have to fight for benefits, or be forgottten the minute they are back home. But wait, I forgot outside of this blog and close friends, most do not think about the wars on a daily basis. Hell the oval office toad can only use the end of the war as a completed campaign promise; so tell me where did you serve Obama/ Basketball courts in the Green Zone do not count as combat.

I don’t know about good news?? Good that some troops get to come home and be with their families, but I have zero confidence that the war is ending. Less troops doesn’t mean more peace, it doesn’t mean they won’t be replaced with private contractors, it doesn’t mean we suceeded in Iraq and the job is done.

I’m sorry Rev Amy, I would love to celebrate, but I have no faith in what’s happening. I don’t understand what 50,000 “non-combat” troops are going to be doing there and I don’t understand what all the private contractors are for.

Myself, I think Obama is trying to “end” the war for political purposes, while also escalating it behind the scenes, and doing the whole thing so incompetently we may wind up with greater bloodshed and less peace.

Doom and gloom, that’s me.

Where’s the spoils? We went in the red to prosecute the war and the wimps are going to let it go at that? Peak oil and we want to feel morally superior? Just wait until we’re all in line to get gas and all the hot air will come rushing home. We are leaving the oil fields so they can be exploited by the next bunch who manipulate the Iragis ? You think the Iraqis are going to be able to defend their country from within? It’ll be like Afganistan. The Chinese have cut a deal with the Afghans for their copper. They’re everywhere. I’m sure they’ll own the icebergs before it’s over with. Minerals, water, oil, and places to grow food in Africa, already. The USA, as much I love it, is the land of bonkers who want to feel good in the moment and have never taken the time to figure out what counts. Am I a Fascist? No. I’m a pragmatist and pine for the real thinkers who got off their asses and did things that gave us an edge. We’re behind the eight ball and everyone wants to be holier than thou. The soldiers are mercinaries. I know that’s cold. If you want to fiddle with the way wars are run, reinstitute the draft and see how quick the mindset of just going into countries willy nilly plays with the ‘folks’ (G-d I hate that expression).  Iran will take over Iraq,  if only through surrogates. I’m not totally up to speed on the particulars but you know relgion is the matrix to the ‘how’. If you want to understand the Chinese, read The Art of War. Yeah, I’m glad the troops are coming home. Where are they doing next?  Maybe some of them can be sent to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California to help round up the next wave of the weak, the poor, and the strarving, or however that old saw goes. For the rest of us, we can only bite our fingernails and hope people sober up.

Candymarl, I hear you abt the Constitution, but it sounded to me like the Iraqi woman was talking abt them getting it in there for real, know what I mean?  Not something the US put in there.

And I wonder, too, abd the 50K “non-combat” troops, and what that means.  But I am grateful that a number of our troops are coming home.  Whether we agree with the war or not, the troops have persevered through very difficult situations, and deserve our thanks…IMHO, that is.

You should have read my post.  They have replaced them with contractors – mercentaries.

Should be corrected to say, Last combat BRIGADE leaves Iraq.  The 50,000 souls left behind have been re-named as assist and teach troops, (or something like that) and they’re hardly harmless, being fully armed and dangerous. I sincerely hope these people are actually headed home and not stuck in Kuwait or, even worse, shipped to Afghanistan.  

Don’t be fooled this is noting more than the re-branding of the occupation of Iraq….  50,000 troops are still there ! 

No, contractors charge up to $1,000 per day.  My point is that Obama has not ended the war by any means.

So the Great Gooseslayer is lining up behind efforts “to reach settlement” with the Taliban.  Why does that seem like reaching settlement with the Nazis? 

Settlement–well that means we’re going to reach an agreement with (chortle, gag) the Taliban.  Can we assume that these are honorable men who will keep their agreements with the infidels? 

Oh, that’s a low blow, HARP . . .

I was specifically referring to the Constitution piece, candymarl, not the treatment of women and girls.  Perhaps I missed something in the video above, but I thought the woman speaking said she wanted their rights to be put into the Constitution.  That was all I was saying. 

I am well aware of the treatment of women in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I have written abt it before.  And I don’t think she was saying everything was peachy keen now, either.  Just that since 2008, things have started to get better. 

Yttik, yes, Hillary did.  She was very clear abt that.  Another thing I loved abt her.

Larry, I read over on another blog that you are in a relationship with a woman named Susan Hudgens.

According to that blog, she helps you with running your website.

According to that blog, your wife doesn’t know of the relationship.

Is it true?

Uhh…It sort of goes against Larry’s conservativism if he’s having an affair with anyone, Susan Hudgens or Sarah Palin! I remind you I didn’t make these claims I just read them over on another website

Susan Hudgens is known to be an adultress herself

How much does it pay to be a bonafide dick, or do you do it for free? 

(Continued from above)
I guess we really should expect this. After all, our dear leader is the most inexperienced man in ANY room he enters.
Now tell me …………………Did the enlightened one “Kick Ass”, or did he get ”Sucker Punched”?
This is just one more reason why a ‘community organizer” should NOT be negotiating anything dealing with money and finances!
Bottom line: The $20 Billion BP is putting up will create a $7.5 Billion positive cash for BP flow this year. But, Obama actually“thinks” he really did something special and “kicked ass’ (in his own words).
In reality, BP executives are laughing at him and ‘kicked his ass”.Oh well….what’s new with this President anyway??? He is in over his head when he starts dealing with “business people”.

go Away. seriously.

I’m asking questions. 
 
I found Susan Hudgens address posted on Huffington Post. 
 
Then here’s the kicker: 
 
Is it coincidence that I pulled THIS from ProQuest’s cache of craigslist? 
 
“HOT OLDER WOMAN LOOKING TO PARTY WITH YOUNGER MEN. ANYTHING GOES. CALL 206-652-4123. HOT FOR IT, DAY OR NIGHT. INCALLS OR OUTCALLS. SEXY SUZEE. 
Incalls at 409 South Ennis Street Port Angeles WA” 
 
There are multiple other posts from ProQuest’s cache. How long did you provide escort services Susan? 
 
Does Larry’s wife know about this?Perhaps she should be informed. 
 
Perhaps she has already.

Someone posted under my name.  Could you please check and see who.  I did not make the statement that Larry is not a conservative he’s a Democrat.  How can someone use someone else’s name?

“And I wonder, too, abd the 50K “non-combat” troops” (sic)  Like the “advisors” in Viet Nam?

Unfortunately it is not uncommon here where trolls and other lowlifes prefer to try to cause trouble rather than honestly address issues.

Someone is making fake posts under my name….

Umm, I didn’t make that post either. I’m having the same trouble as andyp. I have flagged all my ‘fake’ posts.

“HOT OLDER WOMAN LOOKING TO PARTY WITH YOUNGER MEN. ANYTHING GOES. CALL 206-652-4123. HOT FOR IT, DAY OR NIGHT. INCALLS OR OUTCALLS. SEXY SUZEE.

Flagged and reported. You’re a disgrace.

The above is a FAKE post. Made by someone usurping my name.

Iraq’s stolen billions, the FED and the BAHAMAS 2)

Leaving 50,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and then renaming the mission can hardly be contrued as “the end of the war in Iraq.”

I think and I believe, Barry next has his eye on Pakistan and possibly, even Iran, and maintaining a fresh stash of 50,000 “security advisers” to glean from in near-by Iraq would serve this purpose.

Today I blogged the stunning the new Associated Press-GfK poll, a majority of Americans see no end in sight to the war in Afghanistan, and nearly six-in-10 oppose the nine-year-old war just as President Obama sends tens-of-thousands more U.S. combat troops to the fight in the conflict.

The president can add the war in Afghanistan to the growing list of issues he’s clearly out of touch with the voters on. A few of them include his stubborn refusal to support gay marriage and his support for the construction of a new Islamic mosque in lower-Manhattan just 600 feet from Ground Zero.

Quietly and without fanfare, the Department of Justice has erased the American flag from its website. 

This is what used to be there.
This is the brand new website ordered by Eric Holder.  Note that not only has Old Glory been wiped out, but also the red, white and blue colors that used to be inside the Seal.

Please note the most disturbing addition: the quote “The Common Law is the Will of Mankind Issuing From the Life of the People”.  Who made this quote?

Well, it isn’t from the Constitution, Federalist papers or Bill of Rights, etc.  This quote is from the British socialist lawyer, C. Wilfred Jenks, who was a leading figure in the “international law” movement of the 1930′s.  Jenks was also head of the United Nation’s International Labor Organization which was responsible for “putting in place the first Soviet senior member of the UN organization, and also with creating an environment that allowed the ILO to give “observer status” to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and to issue anti-Israeli statements, which precipitated efforts by the U.S. Congress to withdraw U.S. membership from the ILO. The U.S. actually did withdraw in the mid-1970s due to the organization’s leftist leanings.”

“Maybe some of them can be sent to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California to help round up the next wave of the weak, the poor, and the strarving,…”

One can only hope.

It’s getting to the point where the weak, the poor and the starving are us gringos.

It is ironic to see a namejacker complaining about “someone usurping my name”.  LJ et al, is it possible to track down this lowlife by his IP and ban him?

Colbert is a genius.  Funny also.

I heard one of the guys who will remain htere say how different the Iraqi security forces act when Americans are watching compared to when we are not.  He wasn’t specific, but it didn’t sound like a good thing.

BP was the biggest donor to the POS – this was payback to them – he doesn’t do anything unless there is something in it for him – BP is laughing all right but at the Gulf Coast residents who just got screwed & not at the fraud – he’s livin’ it up like always…………………

It is funny, but FOX only spent a whole ten minutes on this withdraw on Thursday.

McCain severely critized both Obama and Clinton during the campaign for sticking with the timetable.
