Why we will never leave or pull out Iraq while moron* is in power...

[Javaman]

(this was originally posted as a response in another thread and I chose to post it alone and to add to it.)

Here's why...

We appear to be winning the political poll race for the house and senate in coming November elections. Don't be fooled, it's because we are being allowed to.

Now one may ask, Javaman have you gone insane, to quote homer simpson, maybe I have, maybe I have...insane like a fox!

The logic that is being applied to this situation regarding Iraq is very long term. Not just till the midterms, not till the next presidential election, but something generational.

The screwy partisan politics regarding this this mess in Iraq was purposely done. Why, you ask? Well there are many reasons but nothing really added up to me until the following hit me.

As part of their long term plan, the repubs are banking on the next administration on being Democratic.

However, in the mean time...

They want both the house and senate to go Democrat. Or at least the house. (If the Democrats totally screw up this opportunity to have the Congress handed to them via a campaign on the republicans "culture of corruption" then they don't deserve our respect or their jobs)

Now two things are going to happen, first after the repubs allow the Democrats to retake Congress in some form (House or Senate or both), they know as right as rain, the Democrats will be trying to figure out a way to 1)straighten out all the things moron* totally screwed up and 2)there will be all sorts of investigations which, the republicans will do everything in their power (oh yes, they will still have lots) to stall, evade, delay, and send off into all sorts of directions with their non-answer answers. This will tie up the Congress for the next two years and frankly, will make sure that very little gets actually done as far as any real legislation being forwarded or completed.

Now you ask, what is so genius about that? Actually not much, just the usual obstruction, but it's only part 1 from their playbook of bate and switch. It's the delay tactic.

Subsection A to part 1 is: They are also banking on the fact for the next two years, the publics attention span and tolerance for investigation after investigation will grow thin and support for them will degrade. At which point all sorts of talking points, MSM pundits and shills will be whining all over the place and trying to be sympathetic to the publics "low" tolerance for all these "silly" investigations.

(I can see it now, "we vote for senators to pass bills and legislation not pry into peoples lives!!!" I can see o'lielly screaming that one now)

No. 2! The biggy.

The other thing that the repubs are banking heavily upon, is a simple fact, either the Democratic Congress come November or the Democratic President come 08, will follow through on removing the troops from Iraq.

Arg! Javaman, what is wrong with that???? Nothing at all, if you are actually a caring human being. But remember who we are dealing with.

Now, this is where it gets juicy.

If the Democratic Congress or a Democratic President pulls out of Iraq and the predictable civil war erupts in full, then you will hear from every MSM outlet from coast to coast screaming, "I told you so!!!", following up with, "the job wasn't finished and that Democratic President/Congress pulled out too early, W* won't have done that!!!". I know bizarro logic, but effective on the mouth breathers of society.

Now when the next mid-term elections (2010 or general elections 08) come up, they can decry the move (pulling out of Iraq) as soft if not outright week and that it was a spineless Democratic Congress/President, that cut and run from Iraq while we clearly were "winning". This simple but effective tactic will win back the house and the senate for them. Reasoning will be, (anyone that has a clue knows this), "that the troops were preventing a civil war in Iraq and since we left it's now full blown!" I know, I know, there is already a civil war going on, but again to the human space heaters in our society, it appears as if all this violence over there is because of (helped promoted by the MSM) Al Qeada. I know yawn. But remember we are critical thinkers.

And beside using the tired slogan, "cut and run" (they still get mileage out of it), they will label the Democratic Congress as do nothings. Regardless of how many repubs go to jail or how many bizarre things are revealed about moron* and his truly screwed up policies.

The neocon republicans, the ones that sit on corporate boards and/or hold positions in PNAC (The ones that really control everything), know this is going to happen and will gladly take a step out of the limelight for a few years if it means that in 2 to 6 short years they will control everything once again and move the ball forward.

The republicans are thinking really long term, it's a big game of political football with them. Move it 5 years loose 2 yards, while we, the Democrats, are off on the sidelines debating whether we should be playing football or baseball (think George Carlin's classic routine here and you get the picture).

Mark my words.
