Gen. Myers admits, 'we have been wrong on every count'.

WASHINGTON -- The top U.S. military officer said Thursday he could not estimate with confidence how long American forces will have to stay in Iraq.

"I really do believe it's unknowable," said Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in an interview with a group of reporters. "If I gave a good professional estimate, then that would be a standard that people would point to and, knowing that we can't know it perfectly, we'd get hammered."

"Actually, the things we've sat around and talked about before have been wrong on every count," he said with a chuckle. "So that's probably another reason why I don't want to" discuss it. Although he did not mention it, U.S. officials had assumed when Baghdad fell to U.S. forces last April that tens of thousands of troops could be withdrawn within a few months.



Everyday these madmen still continue to astonish me. Here is Myers, the friggen head of the Joint Chief of Staff, and he admits that he doesn't know shit. And even more appalling, he admits that they have gotten EVERYTHING WRONG! Excuse me? Why are these incompetent nincompoops still in power? We went to war against two nations, we have killed 1000's of people, we have bankrupted the US economy and now you admit, of gee we made a mistook? Keep in mind Myers is one of the key people who sat on his hands the morning of 9-11. He blew it then and he's blown it everyday since then.

1. with a chuckle?

[dusty64]

4. Yup, they

DO seem to find this disaster funny don't they. Evil POS.

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. Apparently, these assholes

Think that the whole thing is just a joke.




542+ American Troops killed in Iraq, 100+ American Troops killed in Afghanistan, 3000 dead on 9-11, plus over 10,000 injured and these guys think it funny?

7. some of bush*'s best smirks and chuckles....

are when he is talking about death, torture and war... fuck them all!

[mhr]

2. Ahh, But Bush's Sheeple Will Gladly Follow Der Fuhrer.

All is lost!

[leftchick]

3. Because as Mr. Ahmed Chalibi pointed out yesterday....

they are "Heroes in Error"!.... :puke:

[loudnclear]

10. The arrogance of these people is amazing.

It's a big laugh to be wrong and cause the deaths of thousands of people. They are beginning to make Saddam look good.

5. Why do you presume that Myers knows anything?

The dumb shit shirked his duty on 9-11 and was rewarded with a promotion. Everytime he appeared at a press conference with Rummy, when they let him open his mouth, he continually looked to Rummy as he spoke like a little kid, "did I say it right"? He's nothing but a compliant prop. Another rewarded for being stupid. After all, we need stupid people too, don'tcha know?

8. I was watching that and I almost kicked in the TV

thinking about Michael over there, thinking about how my other sons are thinking of leaving the country to avoid any draft that might come up if bUsh steals the election, thinking of all the families who are suffering daily as their kids are maimed and killed .
and they laugh. they laugh at our children's demise because they have no heart, no soul, they are the epitome of evil.

9. Mari, I truely believe that they

hate us for our freedom - at least, they used to, back when we were free.

[PaDUer]

14. They're admitting things

slowly but surely in hopes that the D's are going to give them a pass instead of IMPEACHMENT...time to get these pukes OUT of office now. We can't afford to wait til election time because these people plan ahead and are desperate...They've got something up their sleeves and it smells like a repeat performance, then martial law, then cancel the elections.

[loudnclear]

11. All the Dem candidates have to do is replay some of these treasures

show them over and over again to the public...let it sink in. They are proud to be wrong, proud to be in charge, and proud to not be held accountable for any of it.

[ljm2002]

12. Totally agree

...but when, oh when will they start?

I want to see ads with all of their little "faux pas" remarks played, right next to the pictures of death and destruction that they have caused, next to the economic charts that show our debt mounting and jobs leaving.

And don't forget to include Chalabi's latest remarks, where he says "We've achieved our objective, Saddam has been toppled". What you mean "we", ... but really: it should be pointed out that when he says "we" he ain't talking about you and me.

[loudnclear]

13. It sure is a cheap way to form an ad. But the dopes running the campaigns

are too busy trying to out Bush Bush.

[9215]

15. Yea, in combination

with a picture of coffins coming back from Iraq. Play the chuckle over and over and over with a procession of coffins coming back.

Then ask : "Do you really want these people leading the country?"

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. With his own words and images

We can bring this misadministration down.
