[...] Oh what a beautiful day……Talk around the blogosphere varies on the Democrats caving on Iraq: Captain Ed’s expecting riots in nutrootsville. What for? Between the rumors about Gordon Brown pulling out and Republicans defecting in numbers to the anti-war side in September if things don’t change, they might as well just give Bush his money and stand back. It denies the GOP any excuse with which to blame them later if/when things finally go irretrievably south, which has always been one of their utmost concerns. In fact, the Iraqi defense minister acknowledged today for the first time that he’s drawing up contingency plans for an abrupt American pullout. Everyone knows the score. [...]

[...] He goes on to describe a “death car” seen around the city and filled with off-duty Iraqi cops paid to carry out hits on former Baathists and political opponents. That was the state of things nearly two full years ago. And now the Brits are likely on their way out. [...]

Am I hearing correctly? Has the earth’s orbit tilted slightly? Are all the galaxies lined up in single file?

According to news reports the new French President has all the makings of being a friend to America and the new British Prime Minister will have it in for us?

How ironic. The last time that happened the American people were in the midst of a Revolution. Some might say we’re on the cusp of another Revolution, but for a different reason and against a different enemy. The reason is betrayal within and the enemy is us.

It was pure luck that Blair had the stones to stand with us. Labour, new or otherwise, in Britain is anti-American, and now with Brown that will be the template. The “conservatives” there have lost their balls and their bearings, so unless a miracle happens, our alliance with the Brits is down the tubes. The tug of the EU (also vehemently anti-American, and Blair’s biggest mistake) will accelerate this.

Gordon Brown is one of George Soros’s biggest fans. Not good, folks. Not good at all.

It’s not as if the Brits sent many troops or lost many men or did much good.

I appreciated their standing with us, after 9/11, at least in the form of Blair and the military, but the rest of England was obstructionist, anti-American, and militarily useless in this fight.

At home (coddling jihadists) and in Iraq (marking time and bailing).

They’ll get more Islam not matter how much they retreat.

As we will.

Mohammadism is on the march.

And it wont take maybe for an answer.

Good. Here’s an idea, let’s get out before the Brits and leave the Brits to pick up the trash… that’ll make em good n’ mad. Who cares if they’re mad if we bail from Iraq before they do. According to “The solicitor and philanthropist Lord Andrew Phillips” of the Brit Parliment, “To Hell With The Americans, frankly…!”

No worries about Boosh’s, and our Congress’, complete and utter failure in Iraq though. He’s freeing 12,000,000+ illegal immigrants from the bonds of being criminals. That’s his back-up legacy, you know, just in case things in Iraq didn’t go so well.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot since they haven’t talked about it due to there being nothing to talk about regarding the subject. Osama bin Laden, yeah, remember him Presidente’ Boosh? I didn’t think so.

P.S. I guess I should not make fun of the French or what others have said of them until I see if their actions, or rather the french public’s responce is the it’s new leaders actions.

Criminy.

I’ve had enough “good news” for one week, I think.
