| #4 P2K hits the nail on the head. Make enough copies for Karzai & Co. Give the remainders to the Paks. They don't deserve a second chance. |

| #3 Just provide all the members of Parliament a pamphlet of photos of Germany in 1919 juxtapose with images of 1946 titled - If We Have To Come Back Again! |

| #2 They had better hope that the US doesn't take them up on their offer - Iran and the terrorists are waiting until there are no more American forces there to defend them. |

| #1 I don't think these drooling idiots understand that we have no particular wish to stay. In their active and retarded fantasy lives, Uncle Sam may get some kind of benefit from having troops in Iraq, but in reality, we are spending $100B a year having troops deployed there. I am seriously looking forward to the day that the last GI has boarded the last transport back to the US of A. We will finally have closed a chapter in our history that cost us about $5T in budget deficits - thanks to war expenditures and the war's greasing of Obama's path to the presidency. |
