You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain |

 Send to email | McCain, 100 years of Iraq, and the wrong year to stop shooting heroin in Policy and Politics |  By Thoughts
el 10-Apr-2008 | The braintrust at conservative blog RedState is fed up with people complaining about John McCain's enthusiasm for a century more of our awesome Iraqi adventure. Sure, when McCain was asked if he minded 50 more years in Iraq, he responded "make it 100," and sure that'd mean 20 times the devastation to that nation and to our military. But RedState sees it through a different lens:
Clearly McCain was talking about a peace time standing presence ... Someone should ask the Democrats if they think we're still at war with the confederacy, the Germans, and the Japanese given all the standing American armies in the South, Germany, and Japan. That's right, folks, the South is an occupied territory. We Northerners are just holding the Southern states as colonies. This is your modern conservative movement, hard at work. One day, the South will rise again, stupid, racist and ornery as ever. Until then, they can stop pretending that they're a client state of the rich, smart Yankees, and pretend to be happy that the Union was preserved. One day, we can hope they'll even be glad that slavery ended.
It's going to be a looooong year. Read the comments on this post...

| Surgin': McSame and Palin-spastic don't care about ________ people | | A couple years ago, John McCain staked his future on the idea that sending more soldiers to Iraq would solve all our problems. He was wrong.
In combination with a ceasefire by Moqtada al-Sadr, the surge did help reduce the level of violence, but Iraq's post-invasion problems are deeper than the violence. The nation is politically divided, and that isn't a problem that can be solved at [..] Read complete article | | Published 08-Sep-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics

| Five years of wingnuttery | | Ned Ryun, former White House staffer and son of fmr. Rep. Jim Ryun, thinks Iraq is just like Germany:
The Dems think they’re going to really nail McCain on his 100 years of war in Iraq comment. Can I just say Germany, Korea . . . still there, folks. I would question why we’re still in Germany, but that’s besides the point. The point is that, for better or wor [..] Read complete article | | Published 27-Mar-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics
