Astonishing simplemindedness

[bruto]

I know I shouldn't be surprised at anything that G.W. Bush says, but even I was surprised by the headline quotation in today's paper:

"The Plan B is to make Plan A work."

Wowie Zowie!

[Mephisto]

Which is why we're now calling it a "surge" as opposed to "staying the course." :(

I hesitate to ask about plan C.

I hesitate to ask about plan C.

It involves sending gifts of pretzels to America's enemies.

[ImaginalDisc]

Wasn't plan A to capture Bin Ladin? We lost that war. Then we tried to democratize Afghanistan. Then we tried to capture Iraqi WMD's. Then we tried to democratize Iraq. Then we tried to stabilize Iraq. Now we're trying to either leave gracefully or keep getting people, American forces and Iraqi police and civilians alike, killed and wounded to run out the clock on Bush's term.

In my estimation, we've had several plans fail in this war on terrorism.

According the Comedy Central, Plan C is dropping kittens with glasses onto the Iraqi public. :)

Why not kittens and recipes?

Well, the original thought was that terrorists wouldn't hurt an Iraqi holding a cute kitten with glasses while wearing glasses, but I think dropping some WMD (Ways to Make Doughnuts) along with them might aid good will. ;)

Instead of rubbing each other's pussies, would any of you synics like explain plans A and B by some of your favorite presidnetial candidates? Like after we exit Iraq per Harry Reid's deadline, what happens next? :boggled:

Did I just stumble into the "Dad sues library over Lesbian sex" book (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=80291) " thread by mistake?

[strathmeyer]

This is just a ridiculous ploy to make us think they have a plan.

A couple thousand US soldiers will probably still be alive that wouldn't have been otherwise.

We go back to not attacking countries under false pretenses.

Halliburton has to look for a new way to fleece the US.

Iraq probably devolves into civil war for a few years and ends up splitting into at least 3 countries. It was an artificial country created after WWI anyway.

Finally, no one from Iraq attacks us. Of course, it wasn't anyone from Iraq who attacked us in the first place (9/11), they were from Saudi Arabia, but since Saudi Arabia is a supposed ally, we couldn't attack them.

Fewer American soldiers come home in body bags. The American and world economy improves. The international political situation stabilizes. International terrorism is reduced in effectiveness.

Which of those four consequences do you dislike?

Lick our wounds and vow never to let a moron lead us into an unnecessary war ever again?

Here's McCain's Plan B...

I have no Plan B. If I saw that doomsday scenario evolving, then I would try to come up with one. But I cannot give you a good alternative because if I had a good alternative, maybe we could consider it now.


Why is it when he actually does talk straight, it's downright embarrassing?

"The plan did not fail you.

You failed to plan!"

Is one of the few statements which I wholeheartedly live by.

The only thing correct or enjoyable about your post is learning the forum doesn't block pussies.

The forum's a cockblocker, however.

ETA: Wait, it isn't!

If we pull out completely, Iraq is plunged into civil war, which probably ends with a theocratic, anti-US regime in which the people of Iraq have no real rights.

Whereas if we stay,Iraq is plunged into civil war, which probably ends with a theocratic, anti-US regime in which the people of Iraq have no real rights, but there aren't many dead Americans involved. Come to think of it, there aren't as many dead Iraqis either, because their war is shortened, and they don't have to worry about all the people the US will kill.

I'd like to see some accountability and oversight for the whole fiasco. Maybe some accounting for the money that went to all these war profiteers. Definitely reallocation of our resources to things that help people (health care, education, etc.) Reestablishing the rule of law (doing away with the notion of "preventive attack" that was sold as "preemptive attack") as opposed to "might makes right". A reaffirmation of a basic minimum standard of civil rights--due process and a ban on torture, for examples--that apply to all people universally.

I think that should read lightly stroking - at first anyway.

On the other hand, or perhaps with the other hand, either the minimally and non-religious get together and beat the living rule 8 out of the religious power hungry rule 8s and live happily ever after or - as noted elsewhere they go to hell all around. If they can't handle themselves, they aren't civilized enough to have/run a country. I, as others here(I assume) would like to see it work out ok for them but it isn't woth any of the American lives lost over it. (and yes, I am still pd off that we did not immediately fab everything military they had and all the roads and trails coiming in or out before putting a single US soldier in on the ground. And then going slowly city by city with as much air cover as possible digging out resistors and taking weapons - any and all weapons . For a start.)(war is not for nice people - in that area I am not a nice person).

Wait, let me guess. You just read about Senator Harry "Death Warmed Over" Reid, right?

Same thing that happened after Vietnam. Life goes on. A few decades later maybe things will be back to "normal."

Today an American can go take a vacation in Vietnam in relative safety. I certainly wouldn't try and take one in Iraq for a few decades at least.

NOW this is the way to converse. It's spicy, it's dramatic, it's attention grabbing.

I say it's fine rhetorical technique. I say Steverino should start a thread on this theme.
