You have *ANY* clue as to how jingoistic and flat-out of an total moron
you are? "Rockefeller should be in jail."
For WHAT??!!??
Your twisted version of what constitutes treason?
"mopping this up and being able to declare victory"
Bull-SHIT, liar.

contractors is not "victory." It's a goddamn OCCUPATION.
By your logic, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia was a "victory."

"turn it all back over to Al Qaeda"
Another right-wing talking point with ZILCH to back it up.
It's factional fighting between the corrupt Sunnis, and the even more
corrupt Shias, that accounts for 95+ percent of the violence in Iraq.
Your little right-wing talking points says one of two things:
1. You own stock in the corrupt war profiteers
2. You're so damn stupid if Bush said the Magic Ponys would go into Iraq
and everything would be all flowers and bunnies, you'd believe him.
Guess what. Your bunch of corrupt bastards LIED, and you dutifully trot
out the right-wing talking points in your lame, totally desperate
attempt to divert from the FACTS.
