#8  If you're currently located in the US Embassy Baghdad, you might wish to make sure your affairs are in order.

If you're in the US embassy anywhere Baghdad you need to go to the market and buy a whole lot of ammo, 'cause Obama's got a fundraiser to go to.

#6  I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

It's either that or urban combat - something you don't want to start unless you actually intend to win. Way too many casualties.

#3  Won't happen. The White House turned them down. Iraq was Bush's war, the end-state of which must result in disaster. Besides, we'd be bombing our Soodi friends, whom we bow to. If you're currently located in the US Embassy Baghdad, you might wish to make sure your affairs are in order.
