A timetable for withdrawal or complete defunding of the war: those are the only options Bush should have, insists Silky, ignoring in his own “reality-based” way the fact that he doesn’t have the votes to make either one happen. The highlight comes at the midway point when he lectures us about how Iraq is a political problem to which there’s no military solution. Really? Silky’s plan is to pull out and let both sides hammer away at each other until one of them’s beaten to such a pulp that they have no choice but to “reconcile.” That’s not just a military solution, it’s potentially a final solution. He can’t cop to that, though, so he’s got to float the fantasy of Sunni and Shia finally coming together as U.S. humvees speed off into the sunset to work out their problems like big boys and girls. Like I say: reality-based.
Update: Oh, almost forgot. Yes, of course there’s a fundraising appeal attached.

Edwards dishing out military advice? Whatever. I’ll come talk to you if I want to sue McDonald’s for spilling hot coffee all over myself, Silks.

What a moron.

Nice headline
baldilocks on September 13, 2007 at 10:43 PM
At least he didn’t channel any dead people to make his points.

What’s Arabic for “kumbuyah?
yo on September 13, 2007 at 10:45 PM
Interesting how Edwards, and the Dems, talk to the American people like we’re third graders, while Bush - as monotone and uninspiring as he may be, tends to give us a little credit for being able to think for ourselves.
yo on September 13, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Silky’s unfit for command.
techno_barbarian on September 13, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Why doesn’t this shyster ambulance chasing creep stick to what he is good at? Chasing Ambulances! Now he thinks he is a General?
iam7545 on September 13, 2007 at 10:50 PM
“Whatever George Bush would have us believe.”
Silky is the Mr. Rodgers of politics. Except Mr. Rodgers had respect for the children he was talking to. Silky just thinks we’re marks.
PHenry on September 13, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Recently, I saw John Edwards drinking a Piña Colada at Trader Vic’s.
His hair was perfect.
The Ugly American on September 13, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Thanks for the steaming butt-nuggets, Mickey Mousse.
jaime on September 13, 2007 at 10:51 PM
Our little silky pony. What a pathetic human being he is, and yet such a perfect, pandering example of the far left leadership in this country. Keep on talkin’ Silky.
MT on September 13, 2007 at 10:52 PM
Because there’s nothing like a “failed war” to bring in that sweet, sweet moonbat cash.
The Ugly American on September 13, 2007 at 10:52 PM
I thought it assumed that every time the ex-trial lawyer opened his mouth, someone should give him money.
yo on September 13, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Give Silky a little crumb of credit. From the Democrats performance this week the only consistent position they have is “timetable or defunding”. There is no coherent Dem third option. But I guess it’s easy for him to say because he bears no responsibility for any of this because he can’t vote. The jokes on you Silkster.
As for the final solution to the Sunni problem, Silky doesn’t honestly care either way. Despite the posturing on Darfur and other popular bumper sticker issues the Dems and their fellow travelers, they are at heart isolationists. If a bunch of foreigners want to kill each other over reasons we can’t comprehend then so be it. They’re glad to take their toys and go home.
If the Dems win in ‘08 they will find that they have sold their souls to isolationists who will find no serious reasons for US troops to be anywhere to do anything.
Thomas the Wraith on September 13, 2007 at 10:55 PM
Simple answer to Silky who says, “No time line no funding.”
OK-Here is your timeline Silky.
“We will withdraw from Iraq in 2099. There’s your timeline dude!!! :) If it happens sooner then we will have exceeded expectations!!!!!
Meanwhile we are “kicking ass”…
Nelsa on September 13, 2007 at 10:59 PM
What an idiot.
csdeven on September 13, 2007 at 11:01 PM
“Mr Bush perhaps summed it up best when the Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile greeted him at the airport and asked “How was Baghdad?”
“We’re kicking ass,” Mr Bush responded.”
Nelsa on September 13, 2007 at 11:04 PM
They’re glad to take their toys and go home.
No, that is the part that really irritates me. When the Clintons were in power we were not isolationist, we just let the vernerable UN dictate where our military could be used, and NEVER if there was any discernable american interest at stake…
They aren’t against intervention using military power, just against successful use of it during republican adminstrations.
Rush used to talk about the quote from some Democrat at the Clintion inauguration when the jets flew over. He was angry at the display of gauche military might, but someone pointed out that ‘those are OUR jets now’.
Once its THEIR military again, all actions are good. because its the good guys in charge!
PHenry on September 13, 2007 at 11:06 PM
Silky hasn’t even visited Iraq, yet he criticizes Bush and Petraeus.
amerpundit on September 13, 2007 at 11:10 PM
Electricity is unreliable there. He has his voltage converter, but that won’t help his hairdryer if the power’s out. Duh!
JiangxiDad on September 13, 2007 at 11:15 PM
To leave the Sunni and the Shia to “work things out” when they are split something like 70 /30 is a great idea Silky. You have to be about the last person on the face of the planet that can’t see the outcome of that brilliant little strategy.
What the surrender monkey is really saying is “Sorry about the mess. Y’all have yourselves a nice little genocide” or religiouscide or whatever other term you may want to apply.
Not to mention the fact that Saudi Arabia, which is Sunni, will not stand idly by while Iran assists in the de-Sunnification of Iraq and will then get involved. The next thing you know, the whole middle-eastern theater will be embroiled in the biggest head choppin’, throat slicin’, barbaric bloodfest the world has ever seen. A bloodbath of biblical proportion.There is no telling what may spin out from an out-of-control Iraq.
The Surrender monkeys and especially the Loony Liberals are by far the most dangerous group of people who may potentially wield the power to cause a REAL global conflict. They must be defeated at all cost.
Guardian on September 13, 2007 at 11:17 PM
He hasn’t gone to Iraq because he would have to list his hairdressers flight and accomodations on his expenses for his campaign. What do you think, a $6,000 hair cut this time!!! lol
Nelsa on September 13, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Injured in auto accident with a big ol truck? Time to call Silky & Pony. Hurt on the job and ol fatso in the office still wants you to work. Time to call Silky & Pony.
Sorry but that is exactly my impression of this bouffont-boi.
Limerick on September 13, 2007 at 11:19 PM
Except that Clinton made it a fetish to avoid any military deaths. At all costs. The missions were designed around that objective. He couldn’t get out of Somalia fast enough. We could bomb Serbia because the planes flew very high, well beyond anti-aircraft range. No one was killed (on our side). And the UN was not even considered when it was just Serbia we were bombing because they were just Serbs, without oil or lots of useful idiots to march in Western capitols. They were white and Christian and hence they were oppressors who deserved it. Bombs away, boys.
I think you are half-right in that the Dems would like to send troops to help out in Darfur and on other so-called humanitarian mission. But when the first US soldier is killed they will pack up and flee. Dems are allergic to US deaths. Remember, the mothers of dead soldiers have absolute moral authority.
I think the Dems are incapable of dealing with US deaths in war and get a freaked out by any deaths, especially when the bodies are paraded on tv. Traumatized by Vietnam, enemy body counts, and all that, they would rather be “moral” in their own eyes than win (even though as we’ve seen time and again this only leads to greater conflict later). If I really thought that the Dems could take a punch I wouldn’t be so worried about HRC winning. But they can’t. The Dems have a glass jaw. They will fold like an accordion when the bodies start coming home, whether from Iraq or Serbia or Timbuktu. Regardless of who sent them there or why.
Thomas the Wraith on September 13, 2007 at 11:25 PM
I thought his lips looked funny,, and he does things with his eyes as he talks. I decided to watch it with the sound off,, it kinda looks like he’s blowing kisses.
JellyToast on September 13, 2007 at 11:26 PM
He hasn’t gone to Irag because he would have to list his
hairdressers…..
Nelsa on September 13,2007 at 11:17 PM.
Nelsa,they would have to re-furbish the interior of the plane,to accomodate the hair salon,refubish the interior
$100,000,$6,000 haircut,news getting out,pricelss!lol.
canopfor on September 13, 2007 at 11:29 PM
I am totally serious about this,, I just watched it again with the sound off. I swear he is blowing kisses. It gets pretty hot about halve way through.
JellyToast on September 13, 2007 at 11:31 PM
He’ll be glad to go to Iraq….as soon as Dinnerjacket raises the flag there and invites him over.
Limerick on September 13, 2007 at 11:34 PM
Thomas the Wrath:
I see your point about avoiding deaths, at least American deaths. They were happy to send cruise missiles about willy nilly, but troops were only used for food deliveries and disaster recovery.

Two America’s. America. and the one in his head.
Ordinary1 on September 14, 2007 at 12:19 AM
Pardon me while I yell at my monitor.
Some 4 star needs to sit Edwards down, ruffle his hair, (Abu-Ghraib in Edwards mind only) while explaining to him why he is completely wrong.
F15Mech on September 14, 2007 at 12:20 AM
I saw him walking/strutting in a clip on FOX tonight, ahead or after the speech - he walks as if a broomhandle is placed between his neck and his butt.
Entelechy on September 14, 2007 at 12:27 AM
I believe I’ve become a partisan hack! For years, I’ve tried to remain objective. But whenever I begin to hear even the smallest peep from the leftards, be it Hillary moaning her tripe in front of Petraeus or Silky here slobbering his own verbal diahrea, I can’t help but feel a rage inside of me that can’t possibly be healthy. These people make me sick!
Joshua P. Allem on September 14, 2007 at 12:36 AM
Keeps referencing 911 and Iraq as being the same thing.
Wonder why so many code pinko’s love silky?
I guess they always wanted a pony. It’s easy to promise what you don’t have.
Kini on September 14, 2007 at 12:55 AM
I think this character ought to be the first of the politicians we stick a M4 in their hands (with an orange tip of course. Wouldn’t want him shooting the guy in front of him) dress him in cammies, helmet and boots and let him have a month’s worth of reality at a FOB of Petraeus’ choice.
The YouTube videos of the guys drawing straws to see who tazes him first would be priceless.
El Cazador on September 14, 2007 at 12:57 AM
You’re ok, because
Entelechy on September 14, 2007 at 1:00 AM
Those moronic kossacks(of shit) LOVE this guy!!
They have forgiven the war vote, the bankruptcy vote, the 400 dollar haircut and the 26000 square foot house, all because silky said “sorry”.
Mainly they love him because his wife posts on their website and they love anyone who kisses up to them and makes them “feel” important.
I don’t know what others think, but when I see him I see a slimy used car salesman. One who continues to run for pres when his wife is dying of cancer. And drags his two little kids with him.
If you post a diary on their website the kossacs(of shit) will immediately rec it to the top diaries.
They are sheeple over there.
ArmyAunt on September 14, 2007 at 1:25 AM
We will withdraw from Iraq when you stop giving poverty speeches and then withdrawing to your 29,000 square foot mansion.
BKennedy on September 14, 2007 at 1:29 AM
I think he’s actually more of a threat than Hitlery if he gets the nomination. They’re all slime.
Mojave Mark on September 14, 2007 at 1:33 AM
It’s hard to imagine someone less qualified to be Commander-in-Chief, except probably Kucinich. But then any member of the Democratic field will be a disaster for the nation and the military if they ever get in the Oval office. The thought of taking orders from people like that just makes me queasy–professionalism will only carry you so far, and too many people still remember the Clinton years.

Halley on September 14, 2007 at 2:18 AM
It bothers me that he refers to President Bush as “George Bush.” Not ‘the President’ not ‘President Bush’ just ‘little George.’ It shows a lack of respect for the office and the man. Not that it’s suprising. He’s trying to bring the President down, trying to marginalize him. Typical of a trial lawyer, I’ve seen these guys even fail to give a capitol ‘D’ in ‘defendant’ in their briefs. Edwards is a parlor trick lawyer, and while he seems to be good at it, it just shows his character. More importantly, it shows that he should never be given the office of the President; especially since he seems to have such a low opinion of it…
Meric1837 on September 14, 2007 at 2:32 AM
After watching the clip, I felt like I needed to go take a shower. Putrid.
Mallard T. Drake on September 14, 2007 at 2:40 AM
We have a saying in our office: “the confidence of ignorance.” Fits Silky to a tee. Hasn’t been to Iraq, knows nothing of the war and the operations and what successes our troops are having, and shows no knowledge of the animosity of the various factions over there. Yet, he speaks authoritatively on what the “solution” is. At some point he is going to have to realize, the jury of the American people are not buying what he is trying to sell.
If I only heard him, I would bet he was 6-3, about 280lbs based on the way he can pick the goal posts and move them around so easily. Now the meme is “political solution.” General Petaeus reports on military progress and local level successes, so now the complaint is there is no political solution. Once there is success there, he’ll move the posts again.
Mallard T. Drake on September 14, 2007 at 2:49 AM
That’s President Bush to you, you ass-wipe.
ataloss on September 14, 2007 at 2:52 AM
Isn’t Edwards the same heshe in the YouTube video begging everyone to leave Britney alone?
Gregor on September 14, 2007 at 3:37 AM
I do not like the way he has parted his hair, either.
slp on September 14, 2007 at 6:00 AM
You know what? One problem I see with this guy is that he is young enough and rich enough to come back often. I think he knows he has no chance…this time. But wait 4 years, 8 years, 12 years…Eventually the country will see his qualities, right? I think he is looking at cabinet appointments and then, future runs for the office. Scary stuff.
hoosierken on September 14, 2007 at 6:13 AM
i wish they would quit saying “The American people” are not behind Our POTUS.
i have a house full of “American people” (3 kids a wife 2 cats a dog and myself) and we support our POTUS and our TROOPS without question Mr.Silky and Dems, so just stfu already about what the “American people” want and just say “You” want to create a rift in our country for your own personal gain… i mean come on.
trailortrash on September 14, 2007 at 7:32 AM
I agree. He ain’t going away.
However, in 4 or 8 or 12 years his nutcase base will grow up, move out of mommy’s basement and have kids.
Then, they’ll wake up one morning and realize that it takes serious people to run the country, not arm chair quarterbacks with no ideas of their own.
That’s how lots of folks become conservative.

You know AP, some people come here from work and that massive ass in the picture you have up isn’t work-safe.
BKennedy on September 14, 2007 at 8:45 AM
Maybe the answer to the demands for withdrawal is; We will withdraw our troops from Iraq as soon as we figure out how to withdraw our troops from Germany (100,000), and Japan (30,000). Sixty two years and counting. :-)
We have permanent bases in those countries, and in S. Korea. I expect the same will happen in Iraq.

And that’s President Bush to you!

So the American people wan`t the troops brought home. Either Edwards hasn`t seen this or he`s ignoring it.
