Fareed Declares Mission Accomplished

WTF? Fareed Zakaria:

The Democrats are having the hardest time with the new reality. Every candidate is committed to “ending the war” and bringing our troops back home. The trouble is, the war has largely ended, and precisely because our troops are in the middle of it.

The war is over because our troops are still there? So if we did what we usually do at the end of a war and bring troops home, would that mean the war isn’t really over? I’m confused, Mr. Very Serious Zakaria. To be fair, maybe Fareed doesn’t know about Bizarro Iraq in which people are still fighting and dying today:

BAGHDAD – A suicide bomber blew himself up in front of a high school in Iraq’s violent Diyala province Tuesday, wounding 21 people, police said. Students, teachers, bystanders and at least one policeman were among the wounded in the 8:30 a.m. attack in the provincial capital, Baqouba, according to a police officer.

    Sadly, you are exactly right Basheert. Some may argue, “well, that is not our (US) fault…” Oh yes it is.

    I don’t know what to make of that article. I’m usually fan of Zakaria. I’m vexed. He almost argues that we have to stay now because if we leave the entire place will blow up again.Let George Bush go take control of his little fiefdom. He’s so passionate about Spreading Freedom & Democracy, let him go get between the factions.

    Right, now I understand…As long as we stay there the War is Over..That way the Long Term American Deployment can help protect the Wal-Marts and McD’s…..Not to mention if we can keep it safe by Never Leaving..We can start child-labor factories, open a new sex-predator vacation market to rival Thailand…Oh the fun the Neo-nuts can have…For me the “Big Talk” with my son won’t be sex..It will be explaining how his Daddys generation let its corrupt Govt. steal his Country and its Constitution….BuckEdwards

    I agree with the “Big Talk” sentiment. The internet can take care of that “talk” now days. The so called “Big Talk” now has to be about how you cannot trust republicans.

    I’m wondering if Rush Limpballs has taken his Viagra to Iraq yet? He’s a big fan of sex junkets I hear…definitely prefers boys!
