The Prophet wrong again – on Iraq this time.
US troops are drawing down on the Bush-Maliki schedule. The war was won 2 years ago.
by Ferdinand III
The divine Prophet, the Black Moses, the wizard of tele-prompter ooh and ahh, condemned the Iraq war and said it was lost and that the Bush surge would never work. Now on June 30 2009 he announces with godly thunderclaps of approbation one assumes, that the war is indeed won, so much so that the US can redeploy its troops out of the cities and start to bring them home. He can thank Bush, Cheney and General Petraeus for the Iraqi victory – and choke on his own 7 years of being wrong, of lying and of deceiving US voters to get elected. [But the Prophet is of course a man of principle !] Iraq proves yet again that this man is defective in the most elementary elements of analysis and leadership.
The Iraq war was won 2 years ago. But not for the Prophet and his power hungry, clawing, technocratic friends. Oh no. It was lost, hopeless, a quagmire, another Vietnam, America's Afghanistan, another Balkanized shambles....perhaps even like Rwanda or Somalia. No good would come of it. But it is and was, obviously, and clearly a decisive American victory. The Black God was – as he usually has been on most issues – utterly wrong.
There were 23 good reasons to invade Iraq - see the declaration of war authorized by the US Congress. Hussein and his fascist regime which killed over 1 million civilians, is obliterated. The UN Oil for Food scandal is long gone. Terrorist funding from Iraq has stopped. 60.000 dead Islamic fascists now fertilize Iraqi fields. Al Qaida will never recover from its Iraqi defeat. Its Iraqi affiliated groups such as Al Ansar and Zarqawi's gang – both existent in Iraq before 2003 – are exterminated. A few die hard fascist idiots both Sunni and Shia continue to kill innocents, but Muslims and Arabs have been doing that for 1400 years. That part of Islamic-Arabic culture will never end. And ad hoc explosions of cowardly terror attacks do not a war make.
So the Great Prophet – a demigod who is suppose to know all – was wrong. Here is a very partial list of the Prophet's mistakes and laughable lies about Iraq, as compiled at the National Review website:
Fall 2002 in stating why he would vote against a war in Iraq:
“I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences....”
[You mean like a victory, and the creation of a future South Korea in the middle of rotten and rotted Islam ?]
January 2007 interview [notice the eloquent uh's]
“We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality, uh, we can send 15,000 more troops; 20,000 more troops; 30,000 more troops. Uh, I don't know any, uh, expert on the region or any military officer that I've spoken to, uh, privately that believes that that is gonna make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.”
[Ah, the Prophet apparently was like, uh I don't know, ah maybe uh wrong ?]
July 2007:
"Here's what we know. The surge has not worked. And they said today, 'Well, even in September, we're going to need more time.' So we're going to kick this can all the way down to the next president, under the president's plan."
[The surge obviously has failed which is why the Iraq war was won.]
A Democratic debate in September 13, 2007:
“After putting an additional 30,000 troops in, far longer & more troops than the president had initially said, we have gone from a horrendous situation of violence in Iraq to the same intolerable levels of violence that we had back in June of 2006. So, essentially, after all this we're back where we were 15 months ago. And what has not happened is any movement with respect to the sort of political accommodations among the various factions..”
[So the surge failed which is why on June 30 2009, the Prophet admitted that the war was won].
The withdrawal of US troops is not a smart move, but one set by the Bush administration and now being followed by his divine presence's governing elite. It is a de-surge and one full of danger. As his godliness declared; “Now make no mistake. There will be difficult days ahead. We know that violence in Iraq will continue. We see that already in the senseless bombing in Kirkuk earlier today.’’
Yes that is why the knuckle-dragging neo-con, fascists, Bushitler supporters excoriated the Bush plan for committing to a withdrawal plan. It makes no sense. You only withdraw when the time is right and the peace is won. That the Iraq war is won is indisputable but the peace is still in danger. What is at odds with the best laid plans is the level of unnecessary carnage which could follow a pre-mature US fallback from the urban areas. But at any rate, it is now up to Iraqis to take control of their own security situation and that surely is not a bad option, though a risky one.
So on Iraq here is what we know. The Black Jesus tried to buy votes of his hard left, union-leashed, lattee-loving, hair-flicking 'progressive' political party. In so doing he compromised US national security, lied to the American public and continuously agitated against a war and its eventual success. Now of course he claims that the surge did work and that the Iraqi war is a positive both for Iraq and America. No media fallout and no voter disgust is registered.
And this man is President ?
His lack of analysis, insight and courage mark him out more as a community organizer than as a leader of a nation with global responsibilities. Iraq makes that clear. So does Iran. When such a man has ultimate power one can only wonder at the mentality of his supporters and engage in the rational project of thinking about voting reform. Or do divine beings sometimes make mistakes perhaps – just like those in their cult supporting them ?
