1. Brilliant deduction.

All they had to do was look at Afghanistan, after the Sovs left, to know what's going to happen there. Assclowns.

[bif]

2. They were warned of this BEFORE the invasion.

Ya think these boneheads'll listen? Not likely.

[denverbill]

7. By GHWB no less.

Of course, the arrogant little Ivy League prick in the White House thinks he knows better.

[dusty64]

14. Nope!

:kick:

3. Wasn't that one of the things the antiwar folks warned we

might release if we opened the Iraqi 'Pandora's box'. Of course the Kurds are threatening to jump ship too. see:

I am so ashamed that our country has inflicted so much suffering on the Iraqi people.

4. Also, think Yugoslavia

This was one reason why I opposed the war in the first place.
Too many hostile ethnic groups in one place.

11. Kurds jump in...

As soon as the Kurds make the slightest move for independence, Turkey will invade. And do you think the Sunnis will just sit back and let the Shiites take over?

Iraq is destined to become a massive shxxstorm.

5. gee, what was their first clue?

There are those of us who have been saying that this would be the result since this whole ugly mess transpired.

[colonel odis]

6. do you think this administration cares?

what happens in iraq the second the troops pull out?

long as the oil keeps flowing, everything'll be ok.

but what country will be our staging area for the invasion of syria?

8. Hey at least they have been freed

their lives are much better now that we have liberated them

:eyes:

[amber dog democrat]

9. ?May be?

This is a ticking time bomb. It will be interesting to see how we declare victory and bug out.

[a_random_joel]

10. It's all part of the NeoCon plan

When the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds start fighting, Syria, Iran and Turkey jump in. Guess who's side we'll be on. Damascus and Tehran = US occupation.

I'm no tinhatter, but it's pretty transparent.

12. 'Least them brown folks is liberated,

now they got the democracy to have themselves civil war and be a beacon for freedom in the ME.

[NickB79]

13. And in other news

The sky may be blue, grass might be green, and bullshit just possibly could stink, Bush warns.
