| amazing firsthand account from NPR caller to what's REALLY goin on in IRAQ |
|
talked of being detained 3x while traveling through the south as a medic for an NGO
says they are ALL just WAITING for us to put in our puppets and pull-out then they will strike...
they are glad we are focusing on the sunnis as they are left alone - no british troops, italians - and ARMING, and PREACHING in the mousqes for PATIENCE.
scary...
peace

| 1. It's gonna be a long hot summer |
|
Once we pull out and all the embeds go home no one will care too much when Iraq really falls apart. It will be another Afghanistan. That's why W is saving Osama for this summer, right before the convention is my guess. He's really gonna need a big boost by then.

| 2. My feeling is the same about Osama. Around June-August. |
|
However, Osama will not be taken alive.

| 5. Trouble ahead for Bush. |
|
How is he going to defend keeping all our troops in Iraq?
If we pull out, civil war erupts.
Not good.

Amazing. Just what most of us "left wing" DUers have suspected will happen starting last year.
What do we know?
