When Did 44% Become A Passing Grade?
‘Noz of Rubber Hose looks at the 8 of 18 benchmarks that the Shrubbery claims were met by the Iraqis in his post, success! it smells like desperation.
We were told to wait 6 months, we waited and things are no better. We have waited for things to get better for four years, and they have gotten worse. This is another Arbusto dry hole. The list of the man’s failures continues to grow. He has never succeeded at anything other than elections, and we have passed the point at which people should just accept it.
The sooner we withdraw, the less money that is wasted, the fewer lives that will be lost. Iraqis will continue to die after the US leaves, but Americans won’t be killing them.

People continue to die everywhere.
I am not careless. The fact is we cannot stop people from dying in Iraq, we can only exacerbate the situation by a continued hostile occupation.
We do not have an army large enough to stop the violence in Iraq. We needed 500K troops to do the job when we invaded, and it would take a million to do the job at this point.
The ammo dumps we couldn’t secure should have been blown up, because they are supplying the tools for the current death. The whole country is awash in weapons, so there is no way of stopping the violence.
There is nothing a residual force could do at this point, the whole thing has gone too far. The best we can do is remove one of the excuses for the violence – our presence.
