"Go Big, Go Long or Go Home" BS Is Childish & Transparent

[stopbush]

Today's childish meme - which the MSM has gladly bought into - is that there are three options in Iraq. Of course,
every idiot on TV says that Go Home and Go Big are rejected out of hand...so that leaves us with Go Long. Whoppitydo!
We have a winner, a winner framed by two stupid options that aren't serious options at all. What fucking brainiac came
up with this scheme? I see it from my kids all the time: "Dad, you can either buy me a new house, a new car...or a new PlayStation3."
Hmm? I guess I'll go stand in line for two days and risk getting shot to get that PS3 because that's "the best option."

How about this: "none of the above"?

JFTDC, how idiotic and childish are these people? Why not say the options are Go Long, G-Go Dance or Go
Directly To Jail? There's three options where two can be rejected out of hand as well to leave us with the soon-to-be-
enshrined-in-blood "Go Long."

They really think we're all stupid, don't they?

2. Memes have worked before to rally support for war

"Remember the Alamo!"

"Remember the Maine!"

And we darn near got into a war over "54-40 or fight!"

4. Get lucky, go back in time, guess well

"They really think we're all stupid, don't they?"
I think almost half really are, and then some.

5. tHERE ARE THREE WAYS TO SOLVE THIS

planes,trucks, and ships, all heading west from Iraq.

8. Either they are deliberately using gaming words to rally the

home team fans to a new game plan or they are truly adolescent in problem solving skills. All throughout this war, I have believed that there is a videogame mentality to it. You push buttons or triggoers adn the "bad guys" disappear in a poof. Then you ignore the pool of blood left behind and don't make the connection between those pools of blood and the deep resentment toward us by the people of Iraq.

9. Diplomacy in ending a war is not a "Slogan".....and our troops

are not pawns in a game of American politics.

There is a way out, but it doesn't fit into any of the slogan length required.

It involves using U.S. redeployment as bargaining power in a regional summit....with all of the neigboring countries and Iraq and the U.S.

It's Clark's proposal.....but unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to fit it into a soundbyte. I don't even think he tried though. If he had, it would be called...

Bush Admin, get our fucking diplomats round a table with interested parties and start negotiating our ticket home today. Give the Iraqis back their oil, foreswear permanent military bases and if Iran and Syria and others agree not to be asswipes, we'll start redeploying our troops right away and let's call it a good day, considering.

10. I read that article - and the first thing that came to mind

was that they left out an "option" - the Cheney option as in "Go F*** yourself"

8 months ago the Baker-Hamilton group was put together to study Iraq. We've been in Iraq since March 2003.

Fran Lebowitz, at a book award show on C-span, put it like this "do you study for a math test before the day of the test or 3 years afterwards?"

In addition to Baker-Hamilton, bush* started up his own little study group, giving them 1 month to come up with a plan.

Meanwhile - we have the Pentagon coming up with plan options.

I believe Baker-Hamilton has 4 options, Pentagon has 3, and who know how many options the little bush group will produce. I'm sure some of these options overlap.

the only plan currently being implemented by the bushies is "wait to win"
