Sounds like someone needs a nap from all the time spent playing Playstation on his FOB.

It was 360. Not Playstation. Come on. Get it right.

Just giving you crap gator. I’ve been there and been a fobbit before (OIF2 Camp Taji). I can give and take it.

Glad I’m done with that. Much better being able to get out and do some real soldiering.

The United States favors an Iraq that offers its people freedom at home.

. “I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due to Iraq’s history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and desire freedom like everyone else”.

What an IDIOT! Not knowing about the Sunni Shi’ites and Kurds.!

Isn’t that what the HARE Bush crowds been saying for YEARS! Oh well I guess the President was RIGHT AGAIN!

“The United States looks forward to a democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal international life”.

Check! Its going that way now!

“The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists”

I guess this is why some folks think Saddam was working with terrorist. Oh well the President can’t be right on everything.

“If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow”

Check! We did respond and Saddam’s gone!

Nope, oil is not mentioned.

Don’t give me that must be nice crap. Everyone has their own misery. The Majority of combat troops had to sit tight and couldn’t even be in sight of the polls. You know this so quit making it sound like JasonG carried the weight of Iraq on his shoulders.

Why? He could always be honest and transparent, get up there and tell the folks if he had his way half of them would be dead today!

BTW could we just put the Kurds in charge? They seem to be the sane ones

Amen! Thank you George W Bush and thank you troops for our AND THEIR freedom! God bless you all!

** along with the U S Military…

We didn’t go to the polling sites other than to drop off and pick back up equipment but to say that we had nothing to do with the elections is simply not true.

The subtext? President Bush’s successful mission in Iraq has made Iraqis value an open and honest vote more than the Democrat Party values it here in America.

We need members of a REAL democracy to teach the Democrat Party how an election works.

I’m tired of our banana republic.

Actually we had nothing to do with the elections today. I know , I’m here. The U.S. had virtually no troops on the streets today as we were all sitting in our FOB’s and COP’s hoping for a good outcome. In fact it was hard to tell what was going on because we didn’t have a presence out on the streets. It was all 100% Iraqi today folks, and the turnout was far better than what we get in the U.S. relatively speaking. Regardless of how they might or might not feel about us, or how certain a** hats feel back in the states, I feel pretty damn proud today of the Iraqi people I have come to know so well over the past six years.

Thank you for your service and being a part of over 25 million people being freed from one of the worst genocidal terrorist dictators in history.

Free elections with Iraqis controlling their own security
is yet another example of how wrong the “super intelligent,peace loving liberals” were about the Iraq war.

How are all those “Save Darfur” and “free Tibet” bumper stickers working out liberals.

Don’t remember all that talk about following the UN when Clinton was going into Bosnia without UN approval.
No marches in the streets,cries of war crimes while we bombed civilians from above,no whining about it costing to much.

I mean come on,first they yell and scream that the war is all about oil,then they get mad when we are not taking their oil.
Kind of like calling Bush a liar for saying the exact things about Saddam that liberals said years before he even became President and up until the time they voted for war.

Now they want to cut defense over 10% while we are at war so they can give “surplus checks” to people who don’t pay taxes and their friends in the Unions.
How intelligent!!!

Can’t wait to hear all this complaining about “deficits” after Obama is going to have more than tripled it in about 6 months.

Thank God President Bush/American Soldier stayed strong and defeated the Jihadist in the central front of the War on Terror and accomplished something all the “smart ones” waving the peace sign and yelling for surrender will never do,actually bring Freedom.

I like this, after you vote, stick your finger in ink concept. Wouldn’t this help tell who voted already and who didn’t?

I really do believe it is about time for the US to leave.

Pluse this would defuse ohh half of the muslims worldwide

Ohh and too all of you obama liberals
We never took a drop of the iraqis oil..
We didnt bankrupt them
We didnt abuse them

Unlike what obama is doing right now to the usa..

I wonder would we be better off in iraq?

When would you say victory over Germany and Japan in WWII was achieved? Just curious….

When the diehard surviving Nazis and Tojoists weren’t supported by hundreds of willing morons ready to martyr themselves.

I heard that there are plans afoot (in Iran, I think), to rebuild Babylon so that the prophecies of Islamic world domination will come true. I don’t think that the 6th century throw-backs who use the Koran to mount a world-wide jihad are going to join the 21st century any time soon, but they aren’t victorious yet either.

We forgive you and offer you an invitation to the liberty party.

Um, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

DeathToMediaHacks on January 31, 2009 at 7:47 AM

It is a moral and honorable investment in liberty and security.

We know we dont have to research and sleuth saddam anymore in an attempt to outguess his evil.

We know that alqeeda and are not going to plan missions against us from Afghanistan and the taliban has been replaced.

Most of all, radical islamists and their like, definately know that the world is a lot smaller for them to hide today than it has been in a long time.

See?

Thank you brave Iraq and congratulations on your sovereignty.

Thank you,

President George W. Bush and the members of our armed forces

Care to be intellectually honest and combine total expenditures for Iraq and Afghanistan and the annual Pentagon budget which we all know is seperate from those two budgets. I’ll wait.

DeathToMediaHacks on January 31, 2009 at 1:03 PM

Total costs for both fronts to date: $872 billion

Still 1/3 less than Obarfy’s ponzi scheme that will be thrown away on pork projects.

Why include the entire Pentagon budget? Oh, I forgot, all you lefties would like to elminate the military altogether. Good idea toolbag, leave our nation totally unprotected.

Um, this isn’t what “victory” looks like. Victory will be when they can do this election holding when our troops are out of the country and they arrest the nutjobs dictating from the Koran.
