THis is the election I've been waiting for Reid/Pelosi

[PretzelWarrior]

I knew why you were not shrill in your opposition to the Bush White House. I knew you had your eyes on this day when Democrats have all reins of power in Washington. At least I THINK I knew. THis is the proving ground. There are no more excuses.

I don't care about your 2010 election plans. You can afford to lose a house seat or two on principle.

END THIS WAR NOW!! OBAMA! END THIS WAR NOW!!!

That was BY FAR at a 90% to 10% ratio the BIGGEST reason I hated and opposed the Bush administration at every turn.

Patriot Act was a close second. No Child Left Behind was right behind it.

You better roll back the destructive policies of a Republican congress and presidency.FAST!

1. American Presidents have wanted permanent military bases in the Middle East for 50 years.

They're going NOWHERE.

[PretzelWarrior]

2. THey WILL GO! WE THE FUCKING PEOPLE. GET THAT?

I am not going to allow my Democratic government to keep permanent bases in Iraq and neither are the Iraqis. Bases can be used for the Iraqi army and training advisers from US, England, France, etc etc.

But they are NOT going to have a bunch of our soldiers bogged down in Iraq wasting our money.

FUCK BUSH/CHENEY!

5. OK. When?

When will the American soldiers leave Iraq? When will the last American soldier leave Iraq?

Never.

[PretzelWarrior]

6. I don't care if there are 100 soldiers there or 1,000

I just don't want 10,000 or 100,000 or 200,000.

7. When Obama waves goodbye on Jan. 21, 2016, there will be 50,000 American soldiers in Iraq.

Bank on it.

8. friendly wager. I'll donate $50 to your choice of charity if you're right

and you must do likewise if I am right.

PS I think you meant January 2017

[billyoc]

9. oops, yes, 2017.

I'd give 5 grand to get the army out of there, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

you've got a bet.

[PretzelWarrior]

10. Okay. I'll save money aside just for that purpose

I hope I don't need to send it. ;)

3. "We dont have the votes- keep your powder dry"

Are we done hearing that one over and over and over?

Hope so.

[PretzelWarrior]

4. that's my point. It is put up or shut up time or I guarantee

I will fight hard to put them back in the minority in 2010.
