My Plan for getting out of Iraq

[Botany]

Announce a 6 month time period @ which we begin complete withdrawal

Let all sides in Iraq know this and schedule all (iraq) party talks of which we
stay out of. Except for Jimmy Carter and who he thinks can help.

The talks take place in a 100% neutral site and tell all parties that they
had better come in and take part or the will be left out. i.e. oil & water

Have the security of the site provided by NATO and the Arab League.

Do not allow input into the "talks" by the people who 'caused
the problems .... neo-cons, oil companies, contractors, Chalibi, AIPAC,
al Qaeda, and so on.

hold regional talks at the same time in a different venue.

Have the U.S. troops reduce their military footprint ASAP

Let all sides know that ANY attack on the American forces will be
responded by rapid and deadly force.

Hire Iraqis to rebuild water, electric grids, roads, schools, etc

Investigate fully how we got into this mess and who is responsible
for keeping us there. This must be done openly.

Investigate all the contracts, oil deals, and payments made by Rummy,
Cheney, and companies .... seize assets of companies that were bad.

publicly horse whip Kristol, Wolfowitz, Faithe, and the rest of those
PNAC shits who have spent millions and worked for over 9 years to
start this stupid war. :sarcasm:

Shift our military mission(s) to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and to hunt down and
kill anybody who has decided that he / she has left his homeland to go
on a Jihad and kill Westerns .... I want such people dead first. Wes Clark
can handle this project.

Really work on getting a lasting peace around and in Israel ..... that includes
a real Palestinian homeland (all of the west bank) ..... Jerusalem can be split so
as to have Jewish part and an Arab part ..... access to Holy areas must be open
to those who need 'em ..... Wailing Wall = Jews Golden Temple = Muslim


Just a walk on the beach

1. Heh - not much different than Murtha and Kerry-Feingold plan voted down last year.

But, guess what? I like YOUR Plan even better. Especially the added details.

2. I like it. And to, extend an offering to Iran

To talk. The tough love crap hasn't worked too well anywhere. Being responsible World Citizens and working with friends (if we still have any) and bullies may be worth pursuing at this time.

4. We talked to Joe Stalin, Mao, (back channels) and other evil people ....

..... Both Repubs and demos.

bush's, "Do everything my way and then I will talk to you." style of
diplomacy hasn't worked too well.

3. You won't be able to do anything in 6 months ...

if Congress approves the 2008 Iraq supplemental in March or April.

And why does everyone forget Perle? :)
