Breaking point my ass
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 12:20 PM by BlueStater
Don't fall for it, my friends. We've been hearing this same stale rhetoric from these morons for the last three years.

April 2003 - Saddam is overthrown. Bushlickers declare war a resounding success.

May 1, 2003 - Chimp land on aircraft carrier and says "Major Combat Operations in Iraq have ended" while standing in front of a huge banner reading "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED". Bushlickers everywhere agree.

December 2003 - Saddam is captured. Bushlickers claim we've reached a breaking point.

January 2005 - Iraqi elections are held. Bushlickers claim we've reached a breaking point.

June 2006 - Zarqawi is killed. Bushlickers claim we've reached a breaking point.

What do you think the next "breaking point" will be?

1. Oh, I suspect they'll invent a boogie man
and then kill him off in October.

6. To Bush and the rest of the yellow ribbon brigade....
soldiers like your son are merely props to be used, like real life G.I. Joe dolls, for their own benefit. It breaks my heart. I hope your son's ok. :cry:

4. You forgot Poland. I mean, you forgot all those times when we heard
insurgency was in its last throes.

Your list could be five times longer with Cheney and Rice
quotes alone.

7. No one believes that for a second, apart from some Freepers
Bush will get a dead-cat bounce out of this. He was one guy; the guys who are doing the real damage day to day, no one ever heard of.

And you forgot when Saddam's kids were killed...I'm sure there are others. Perhaps do a search of Tom Friedman's columns. Every event the Bushies trumpet, he writes another column claiming the end is near, within six months we will know...blah, blah, blah.

8. I'm just amazed at the amount of "corners we have turned" in this war.
We have "turned the corner" so many times that we have made quite a few circles around nothing!

12. wasn't zarqawi just down graded by al Qaeda?
Was that in osama's last video? My memory is failing with the continuous dog 'n pony show. I can't tell the players w/o a scorecard anymore.

13. I think you've missed a few
Seems to me there were one or two other turning points between January 2005 and now. Wasn't there another one a few weeks ago with the "unity government"?
