Fweeps: "Bush has handed the White House to the Democrats"

[WilliamPitt]

"In handing Fallujah back to the Baathists, I submit that the Bush Administration has handed the White House to the Democrats. Even I am disgusted to the point where I may not be able to vote for Bush."

1. Good!! FInally they admit defeat...

...for whatever reason, I don't care. As long as they see the end of the idiocy, it's a good sign.

[Sparkly]

2. Wow

Would this qualify as a "flip-flop?"

[Selteri]

14. Bush flip-flopping like a flapjack

In a post that was deleted earlier due to a misunderstanding I referred to Bush as a Flapjack and Kerry as a 'Waffle' in reference to a fund raising waffle breakfast that is being held... this is just another example of the Bush Flap-Jack Administration.

The just pour themselves into something without a well defined plan, when the heat gets to be too much on one side they jump to the other, they aren't really firm and all they want is to get their syrup. This is perfect for the Bush Administration, they Jumped into Iraq without really doing their planning, now they've had to flip-flop because they didn't expect it to be so 'hot' there, they have no real firm moral character despite inflated claims to the contrary and all they really want is to be smothered in blood money coated in rich Iraqi Oil that is still being sold to other countries so that we have a 'bargaining chip' over their fuel reserves.

Where with Kerry being claimed to 'Waffle' on the issues seems to be more an ironic play on words, they meant that Kerry is like a Waffle, complicated, yet clear cut and following a very easily predicted pattern. He might turn around sometimes but even when he does he still sticks to the pattern and is able to stand on what he has built himself into over the years. Although one might argue that just like Bush, Kerry seeks syrup, yet if one considers the record, will Kerry really need to invade a country to keep his wife in tomatoes?

Of course, more analogies can be made, such as how flapjacks expand chaotically waffles fill a mold and many others, but I felt I smothering the issue and already ate my breakfast after the last analogy.

Hi guys, I'm not quite new, I just can't access my old account of the email address associated with it.

21. Flip-flop in Fallujah !

Sounds good to me.

But I am sure glad they did.

[RT Atlanta]

3. hope yet

that the folks with differing political views can see the true depth of the morass that buscho has gotten this country into and hope to change things.....

[Morning Dew]

12. Good

for the people to get the WH back.

Sad that the Bushies had no plan beyond kicking ass and looting Iraq's natural resources.

[Loonman]

4. Bush retreats

Puts his old buddies, the Ba'athists back in charge.

[KittyWampus]

5. Bush's Third Option- Sending In More Troops To Go House To House

would have kept civilian casualties to a minimum.

But then, Bush would have had to face the public and tell them a Draft is necessary.

Political Cowards, you were handed the reins of power and have failed the test miserably.

Why was our Intelligence so degraded?

Isn't that what happened in VietNam, along with corruption?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

8. House to House...

Held the great and awful potential to turn Fallujah into the Stalingrad of The Middle East. That would have been teh suck.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

6. fallin apart like a house of cards

DAMN today is a good day!

[madmax]

7. It's a damn shame

So many lives lost. :cry:

He could have had this planned from the beginning and perhaps saved both American and Iraqi lives. Miserable FAILURE!!

[tabasco]

9. Maybe they should join the infantry.

I'm sure they would enjoy the house to house fighting in a city the size of Pittsburgh. These louts don't give a damn about the soldiers who have to fight the war. The cowardly armchair generals always want to ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!

[Jacobin]

10. tut tut tut. They wanted a nookular shocknawe show

and are disappointed that their FearlessLeader let them down.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

11. War = peace with these guys:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1127217/posts?page=22#22

You especially have to love this reply: "...If you wipe-out your enemy he can't continue to fight...then peace can come about. This touchy-feely, watered down approach to fighting a war is not only dangerous, it is despicable.

We need to arm ourselves to the teeth and destroy those barbaric people."

(No. 73)

[VelmaD]

13. Notice that he said "may not"...

you know what that really means. They'll wring their hands now but come November they'll vote for the idiot anyway. :eyes:

Sorry Will, I'm not feeling very optimistic about people today.

[DaveSZ]

16. Worst pResident since Harding

:(

[OneTwentyoNine]

15. Might not be able to vote for Bush?? Yeah right.....

I could believe that line from a normal Republican but that shit out of a freeper is TOTAL BS. They'll defend Chimp until that last Iraqi child is killed.

17. We can only hope!

[Jack Rabbit]

18. What a load

"Baathist remnants" are present in the resistance to occupation, as are militant Islamists. What the apologists for the junta overlook in this kind of sophistry is that most Iraqis, people who are not different than most Americans, are opposed to the occupation.

Even if US troops had been greeted by the roses and open arms that the these same sophists wrongly assured us they would be, this day was inevitable. There are 24 million people in Iraq who know they have the right to run their own country; they know that sovereignty is not what Bush has in mind. Sovereignty would mean that the Iraqis could use their resources as they see fit and negotiate the sale to whomever they wish without having a foreign government determine that for them. That's not a "free market economy", at least not as far as neocons are concerned.

The Freeper is right that Bush deserves no one's vote. He is wrong to believe that there was ever anything high-minded about the invasion. Saddam and his gang of murderers were replaced by a gang of thieves appointed by Bush. The Iraqi people can do better by themselves than either Saddam or Bush. They deserve to be given the chance.

That they would be willing to fight and die for that chance should surprise no one.

[Ganja Ninja]

19. It really is the beginning of the end.

I was thinking about this last night when I was watching the news. It is setting an example for the rest of the country. If you want the Americans out all you have to do is fight. Fight until the point where it's either wipe out the people you say you were liberating or leave them alone. Look for more resistance now not less.

[Liberal Gramma]

20. Did anyone read the other 100 responses?

Which dealt mainly with their regret that the US hadn't used its power to pound these(insert your own denigrating racial slur)into dust. I submit that the guy quoted above would rather vote for Genghis Kahn--dont think there's much chance he'd switch to Kerry.

[cynic4life]

22. Doesn't that General have to report back to American

commanders? so isn't technically Fallujah still under the control of the US? thats bothersome the US still controling their military..

[mrgorth]

23. They only think this

because they'd rather level the town with the people in it as a show of strength.

[readmylips]

24. Rumbutt keeps saying that Saddam's loyalists...

are the ones attacking the troops and causing trouble. Now it comes out that Saddam's old regime is being placed in charge. Maybe, Saddam loyalists kicked the US's asses, and now they are forced to say...yeah, we're letting them take over...they're a bunch of good guys.

What a shame. We are not safer at all. David defeated the giant with a small stone and a sling shot....prophet george must have skipped that part of the Bible.

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. Why aren't freepers running to enlist?

Maybe if they saw real battle they'd stop being so blood thirsty.

[callous taoboy]

26. Honestly-

I know why you guys go to freepville but I don't know how you bring yourself to do it. I've been there once and just about hurled.

[BabsSong]

27. William--I just posted this a.m. about McAffery's (sp?) remarks this

morning on MSNBC. I'll bet they were watching!! He called it a defeat for the US and the Marines and a victory for the insurgents. The handing the place back to the guys we were suppose to liberate the people from has got to be rippling aross Iraq. But as he pointed out, this in the Arab world looks and smells like defeat and inspires them to fight on or join the fight in the first place. Take one off the scoreboard for Bush----the bloodthirsty base isn't getting their daily dose of fresh Arab blood.

[progressivebydesign]

28. Let's be sure to send Bush a nice thank you note, for the gift! N/T

[opihimoimoi]

30. I think this notion of "Iraqinization", it was tried in Nam, where

Iraqis will kill Iraqis is questionable at best.

We pull out, the New Iraqi Army goes in..... I can only hope.

Old style warfare: Not PC, Conquer with Trebuchets, storm the walls, slay every man, woman, and child, save the virgins.

New style warfare: PC, Surround City, Cannot get at bad guys due to too many factors, pull out.

Geez, what kind of leadership we got??

The Now What Prez Leads again, off to the Little Big Oil.

[ArkDem]

31. Yes, freepers and republicans will be voting for Kerry

in droves.

[Walt Starr]

35. No, but it could convince some fence sitters

I'm hopeful, anyway.

[calimary]

32. Well let's hope so.

I doubt if this person will betray his/her adoration for the perfect, omnipotent boy-king in November, though. One can certainly hope they do. I like seeing the enemy dispirited. Maybe they'll start scattering, heading back to their hidey holes under all those rocks from which they originally slithered out.

[Generator]

36. That was the day he invaded Iraq wasn't it?

Lie about weapons,have Powell lie about weapons, lie, lie again, win initial phase of war, lie, evade, out CIA operative as "revenge", change Weapons of Mass Destruction to Weapons of mass destruction progamme related activities,capture Saddam, more attacks, war escalates again, POWS,torture scandal, lie, change plan to giving control back to the "good" Bathists, handover country to ???, more escalation, no plan, no plan, freedom good, terrorists bad, civil war and ten more years of this.

Did I miss anything?
