And Americans are getting killed and maimed in ''iraq'' for WHAT reason again?
We CAN get ''iraq'' under control. The question is do we have the will to?
But we can't just WISH control over ''iraq'', we have to TAKE it. It's the only way ''the surge'' can be effective. We thought the ''iraqis'' could govern themselves, four bitter years of experience have PROVEN that untrue.
Yes, I know Vice President Bill Clinton went over to ''iraq'' to wag his finger at 'the iraqi people' and tell them 'to straighten up and fly right'. But it was all speaking loudly and carrying no stick.
It's ''crap or get off the pot'' time in ''iraq''. We can either TAKE CONTROL OF IT or take our leave of it and allow 'the iraqi people' to sort out their problems however they choose to...

I now officially begin the YIH FOR PREZ campain. I'm running as a Republican (Why not? Both of my cats are seeking the R nomination as well).
Considering that except for Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul the current slate are merely wasting oxygen, I figure I might as well jump in too.
My (and my cats) platform is:
1. Right after I'm sworn in as Prez, I will (as CINC) order ''our troops'' to get off their lazy butts and BEGIN ''the war in iraq''. THEY will have ''benchmarks'' and ''a timetable''. ''Our troops'' will be unleashed to win the war by any means nessessary.
Campain slogan; ''Let them FIGHT, let them WIN so they can come home''.
2. As ''our troops'' return home their service to America is unfinished. There is a significant number of Moslims in America. Uncle Sam is suffering from constipation, he needs a laxitive:

There is no such thing as Moslim-Americans. Sura 9:5 of the koran makes that quite plain.
3. While ''our troops'' BEGIN ''fighting the war over there'' I will see to it that The US Secret Service arrests, detains, and brings straight to the Oval Office Nihad Awad of CAIR.
I'll make a presentation of it, full orchestra and choral group playing and singing ''The Star-Spangled Banner'' as I personally behead Nihad Awad of CAIR. And Google WILL BE REQUIRED to post the thumbnail and link to the YouTube video...

The solution to this problem is so plain it's not funny. Our Marines should just grab the nearest ''iraqi'' by the hair, lift it up and put the barrel of his sidearm to it's head and say ''OK, where are they?'' if it gives us taqqiya (the moslim obligation to lie to non-moslims), we merely pull the trigger and send that moslim to it's ''allah''.
We repeat this procedure until our missing soldiers are found. No matter how many ''iraqis'' have to have 'their ticket (to ''allah'') punched'. We ARE fighting a war in ''iraq'' OR ARE WE NOT?
So our Marines have to step over THOUSANDS of dead ''iraqis'' to recover our fellow Americans that those foolish moslims have captured. I don't have a problem with that!!!
It just might convince the moslims that taking Americans hostage might not be a good idea...

Every time I hear some random lefty call ''iraq'' ''Bush's war of aggression'' I want to vomit. But I also feel nauseous when I hear some Junk Food Conservative™ say ''we need to win this war''.
Because I'll put it bluntly, our affairs in ''iraq'' ARE NOT A WAR!!!
Frankly, I would like it to be one but even the Bush Administration doesn't have the stomach for that. CAN we win in ''iraq''? To quote Bush's favourite people; Si se puede! [Yes we can!].
Using Old West stereotypes in regard to the Bush Administration have been popular since before he was elected President the first time and I'll use one now; ''The new Sheriff in town''.
Why should we care if the ''iraqi parliment'' TAKES A TWO-MONTH VACATION in July? Why should we care what spews from the mouth of Al-Sadr's Tony Snow Al-Maliki? (Al-Maliki is no more the President of ''iraq'' than Tony Snow is the POTUS). LET the ''iraqis'' just screw around, pretending to cooperate with us if it serves their own personal agendas. Why should we even care?
We have over 160,000 ''Marshall Matt Dillions'' in ''iraq''. IF WE START treating ''iraq'' as a war where WE IMPOSE law and order on the savage frontier I do indeed believe we can get ''iraq'' under control.
And that's the rub, we don't have the stomach to seize control of ''iraq'' and rule it as a harsh despot. We want to continue to live in the fantasyland of ''if we just give them some more time they'll work their problems out''.
WHY SHOULD THEY? The way they see it Americans are social workers that they can BS to get whatever they want.
It's time for us to give ''iraq'' a deadline to clean up their act OR ELSE. Our only realistic options are IMPOSE law and order upon ''the iraqi people'' or tell them; ''We gave you a chance at freedom and civilization and the vast majority of you just sat there twiddling your thumbs. SO BE IT, keep twiddling your thumbs, deal with life after we leave. And don't come whining to us for help 'cause we're leaving the phone off the hook''...

It has been said ''in comedy there is truth''; And this was intended to be dark comedy:
http://www.abum.com/55422/Village-Sniper.html
The points this makes are quite plain. You CAN'T ''make friends'' (''win the hearts and minds of'') people THAT ARE ALSO OPENLY STATING AND ACTING as though they are at war with us.
UPDATE: I KNOW, I KNOW!!! I too was getting sick of that stupid video clip auto-playing whenever this blog was accessed. I haven't been able to post lately due to problems beyond my control. I deleted the code for the video clip and replaced it with it's link.
IMHO, this video was a parody of this insane push for ''diversity'' where the locals of this British village were pleased to have this 'croatian sniper' to 'invigorate' their sleepy little hamlet were good. Even when the statements and actions were plainly lethal in their intent.
Not unlike those Moslims in London who brazenly hold up signs saying ''behead those who insult islam'' and ''islam will dominate'' or the mexicans who march here shouting ''Si se puede!'' [Yes we can!] when the intent of that statement is ''Yes, we can stay, continue to invade, and take over your country!''...
