1. Wow

The Bush administration's hubristic foreign policy has been efficiently exposed as based on nothing more than hallucination.

I wish I'd written that. Thanks for the link!

[demnan]

2. I agree

The U.S. has definitely lost the war, unfortunately Halliburton has won millions and that is all that really matters to the * and his bunch of thugs.

6. Billions

of OUR money......can we sue?

[Divernan]

13. Nationalize Haliburton!

You heard it here first, on September 2, 2003.

15. Great idea, D!!

eom

[leftofthedial]

3. dead on

It's not a matter of "if," but a matter of "when" the US will leave Iraq.

Every day's delay makes matters worst and the cost higher.

[stevedeshazer]

4. Great piece

But it illustrates the sad reality that Bushco has got us into some deep shit that will take years to undo.

edutid fer spellin'

[ElementaryPenguin]

[NNadir]

10. Oh, I don't mind

just glad maybe more DUers get to read the article.

9. The Bush guys are now resorting to the Prayer Option. it being the only

one left.

They should call in the head prayer guy Pat Robinsom. He got powers to pray away hurricanes for gods sake, that oughta make him special for the job.

In the mean time, the prozac bill at the white house basement is now by the forklift level.

Come, we listen to their mumblings while we deliver the midnight oil

[StandWatie]

11. you know what I don't get about Pat?

For some reason God can tell him a disease and the city where the person with the disease was cured but God never tells him the name :shrug:

24. I think it's a privacy issue.

14. damn, that was a must-read, rightous ass-whupping....

Hope it get lots of attention!

[proud patriot]

16. As John Kerry Stated parphasing

who can choose is going to be the last to die

[JPace]

17. Great article.....

"Sooner or later, the United States must admit
that it has made a terrible mistake in Iraq,
and it must move quickly to undo it."

Unfortunately the AWOL regime is unlikely
to eat humble pie, they'd rather let
thousands of our troops get murdered
for nothing.

[ElementaryPenguin]

20. As Herr Scumsfeld explained to us, "Iraq is one giant lab" - therefore

Our soldiers are merely lab mice to the War Cabal - (as are all the Iraqi people)!!

[JPace]

18. It is going to get sooo violent....

"in Iraq that even Halliburton employees
are not going to want to be there.:

[ElementaryPenguin]

21. THAT is VERY true!!

The sheer stupidity of the CHENEY/ROVE/RUMSFELD tri-presidency NEVER ceases to amaze me!!

[WillyT]

19. Great Article EP, Thank You !!!

Sent it to Malloy, and others...

:hi:

[ElementaryPenguin]

22. Great job, Willy!!

23. bush in iraq is akin to alcibiades attacking syracuse in 415 bce

yet bush is not the genius alcibiades was. alcibiades was the most complete example of genius without principle that history produces. bush is merely a sub-genius without priciple.

25. despite this truth...

...that the war is lost, those who made it are still making billions off it through defense contracts and rebuilding.

And so, for them, it has been a strategic victory.

[msanger]

26. how many dead soldiers for each Hallibuton Billion?

[Devils Advocate NZ]

27. I've been saying this for quite a while...

in fact the war was lost the moment the PNACers thought it up. The reason why is explained in my post from few weeks back - Why the US will lose the war in Iraq

Basically, the US can never win wars such as this because it cannot do the one thing that it takes to win a geurilla war - stop fighting back. The war in Iraq was destined to become a geurilla war from day one, as was the war in Afghanistan, and by its very nature a "War on Terror" is one as well.

[ElementaryPenguin]

28. Very true, Devils Adv!
