Just in time - political

Just in time to avoid having to send the 3rd in line for the throne prince to Iraq in May, the Brits are beginning a pull out.

His potential service in Iraq was news days ago. The Brits pulling out is fresh.

Well at least British politicians are just as bad as US ones: Blair's earlier comment's:

The move comes a month after Blair said that an "arbitrary timetable" for withdrawal "would send the most disastrous signal to the people we are fighting in Iraq."

Seems like it is all fun and games till someone high up has to go.

Pulling out...

Great.

Coming from anyone, but you, this would be surprise.

I'm sure the U.S. will be much safer and secure if we just 'pull out' and watch Iraq get over-run by religious fanatics with their finaticism fueled/financed by the oil resources of Iraq.

Excellent suggestion!

Let's just pull out!

And, now that I'm on a roll, it isn't like this is a unique idea by the cut-and-run liberals who decry our existing policy yet don't have a frigging idea what they should/would do.

Wow! How revelationary!

Just take all of the troops out of Iraq....!

Let's just remove the 'armed-Americans' who are trained to defend themselves unlike the 'unarmed-Americans' in both World-Trade towers. These 'armed-American's' being there are, in part, are the reason we haven't been attacked, here, since 9/11. It's not like the majority of people who hate us have the resources to come (armed or not) to the U.S. and cause harm against us here. Therefore, they can now go to Iraq and take a shot against an American who is (at least) armed and trained to defend themselves...

But no, no....Pulling the troops out is a sage & brilliant idea!

Enjoy watching Hilary and Obama get waxed by whomever the Republican nominee ends up being.

"...nuff said..."

?

What is 'nuff'? Who talks like that?

How old are you, just out of curiosity? I know your tag says "Boi" but I'm understandably curious.

Your being younger would explain your naivete and ignorance.

Incidentally, who said we were 'going to Iran?

Idiot: What qualifies one to be served with that title?
