I just thought of something... say that this election falls through, the person elected will probably be shot and killed by insurgents anyway. We\'re going to be in Iraq for a year or more I think, and its not going to end up pretty.
try at least 5 - 7 yrs...iraq must have a fully realized military and police force intact before..the u.s. can even consider leaving...
thing is now is that the american citizens are saying that maybe this war was a mistake..:rolleyes:....this war was a mistake from the jump...in the very beginning there was ZERO support for going into iraq from the amer. public...then bush kept pushing the issue..y\'know it was kinda like how you hear a song on the radio that at first you don\'t like, but as the radio station keeps playin it for weeks on end, then you start to like it....the same applies here.
Now the amer people are back at square one where they felt we shouldn\'t have went to war in the first place...talk about sheep...the prez and others can easily cultivate one\'s mind into thinking this was the right thing to do....except i didn\'t fall for his bulls**t...
so in a sense yea hal these elections are pretty much worthless,..because if these insurgents can easily pick high ranking iraqi officials with ease, who\'s to say that within days of having a newly elected prez, that he won\'t be assassinated? bush & co. tried to play s**t down like you could just walk down the street in iraq when he couldn\'t be further from the truth...he only spoke about the situation in iraq truthfully only after getting vibes from his cabinet that the amer public was becoming deeply concerned with what was happening in iraq...
yea it\'s rant,..after seein those pics unknown pm\'d me, i\'m a little amped....
