The Deadly Pick-up
John McCain And Sarah Palin - Cartoon
The is no Status of Forces Agreement that will allow US troops to legally remain there. Condi say an agreement is close. But the Iraqi Parliament has insisted on vetting any agreement and you know
they can't possibly approve it by year end, especially when there is no agreement yet to approve. My guess is that the US Congress will want to approve it if the Iraqi Parliament gets to. And if you force the Iraqis to accept an agreement on your terms...how can you say they are anything but a puppet government? How does that square with them being a sovereign democracy? No, Mr. President, the jig is up. You gambled and lost. Game over.
And what possible motivation do you have to direct Condi for asking the Iraqis to let us stay longer? They are the ones arguing for us to leave.
What National Security reason are you going to make up now? No WMDs. No Sadam. Surge has worked...LOL. You can't say its for the oil because we would have enough of our own if we just drilled deeper and faster and longer especially now that the polar ice caps are melting and there must be oil there too right?
And John McCain, how are you going to spin this for your campaign? You said that we couldn't leave unless Iraq was a stable democracy that was an ally in the war on terror. And the troops can't be proud to come home if they didn't win. Since Iraq seems to be much friendlier with Iran than with Israel, I think you are dreaming the impossible dream.
So did the US win the War in Iraq?
My opinion is that when you send US troops on missions that were never in our national interest, the only way you win is by terminating that mission. Kind of like VietNam.
OK Arius, give me your best shot. I know not everything above is totally accurate...but close enough.
So after taking a couple weeks off from PB, I thought I'd start some new posts with a little tidbit from this month's issue of Rolling Stone (sorry, only text posted since this comic is not online yet):
Picture this: 3 office workers sit around a break room table, conversing and having coffee. Here's what they are saying to each other:To enjoy more of David Rees' insightful humor, please check out his website here, and thanks to all the hard working Democrats out there doing their best to help us win this historic election!
Woman 1: Did you see that John and Cindy McCain are carrying more than $200,000 in credit card debt?
Man: Goddamn, I knew they loved the Iraq War, but I didn't realize they were paying for it themselves.
Woman 2: McCain admits he doesn't "understand economics." Do you think it's possible he doesn't even understand what MONEY is?"
Best,
D. Tree
toying with the idea in my head of having a small choral group that
could sing song parodies for community theatre. I thought we could
call them The Beachhead Boys, in honor of McCain's own Bomb Iran hit.
Here are the lyrics to "Stop Whining Baby" (to the tune of Don't Worry
Baby, by the Beach Boys).
Stop Whining Baby (Sung to the Tune of Don't Worry Baby)
Well debts been piling up around me
Oh, since I lost my last job.
Food prices rising
and I'm thinking
Something's really gone wrong.
But I turn on TV,
and Phil Gramm looks at me,
and he says stop whining baby
stop whining baby
stop whining baby
cause it's all just in your head
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
when I started to cry about my car.
It's just with oil prices so high
even down the streets a drive too far.
But Phil Gramm's sure no dope,
he fills my tank with hope
when he says stop whining baby,
stop whining baby
stop whining baby
cause it's all just in your head
Oh and when the banks foreclose our homes
we'll tell them what we've learned from you,
and how we're voting for McCain
because we're sure that he has learned it too.
We'll tell them that you said,
our debts just in their head,
and they should stop whining baby
stop whining baby
stop whining baby
Phil and John are doing alright.

sadly he does not realize that his presidency has been the cruellest joke in the history of time. see mcdummy start his next career as a stand-up comic (god knows he failed dismally as a stand-up guy!) at the white house correspondents' dinner. oh yeah. there's video.

New Direction for any war:
Send Service Vets over 60!
I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 35.
For starters:
Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy. Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while. An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides, like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch. If captured we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser. Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling. They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training. Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone out run a bullet.
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head. These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way. Let us old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them. If nothing else, put us on border patrol....we will have it secured the first night!
