filkertomFor those who believe that the illegal invasion of Iraq by US forces is the correct course and must be followed to its end, whatever that may be, this:
It is time -- way the fuck past time -- to get out of Iraq. We can do nothing good there. We never have. Under UN supervision, the US needs to pay for cleaning up the horrific mess it's made. But, first and foremost, we need to leave.If you've got a better idea, you're lying. Mostly to yourself. (Stated rudely, for which I apologize, but struck through rather than deleted, 'cause I did say it, and I ain't Dick Cheney.)
Leaders of Iraq's sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called Monday for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in the country and said Iraq's opposition had a "legitimate right" of resistance.They don't want us there. We never should have been there. They will keep killing us, and we will keep killing them, until we leave.
The final communique, hammered out at the end of three days of negotiations at a preparatory reconciliation conference under the auspices of the Arab League, condemned terrorism, but was a clear acknowledgment of the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists if their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens.
It is time -- way the fuck past time -- to get out of Iraq. We can do nothing good there. We never have. Under UN supervision, the US needs to pay for cleaning up the horrific mess it's made. But, first and foremost, we need to leave.
