I kinda thought George Washington and his regulars had a lot to do with it with some help from the Marquis de Lafayette.

Does the fall of falluja mean we'll be able to invade Iraq again......pretty convenient for those that stand to profit....

Maybe "Selling Iraq: Deux"

So, I was half right? Gotta love all those diagonals and roundabouts the good Marquis gave us in D.C.

Diagonals and stuff not designed by Marquis. Different Frenchman. L'Enfant.

Supposedly, the design facilitates the suppression of mobs and insurrections....

Nice try Bob...

But hey it's nice to see Al Qaeda “on the run”, “decimated”, and “on the path to defeat”
What in the hell are you talking about Jim?
All I said was Gee Dubya and Cheney were responsible for the war in Iraq in response to DJ's wacked assertion that Iraq was all Obama's fault.
Wasn't it your candidate who said he would've kept troops there for as long as it took? Some stupid shit like 100 years, IIRC.


Not that I agree with assassination as a tool of state but it seems that every headman of Al Queda has a pretty short life expectancy, particularly under Obama's watch. There's no denying that, no matter how much tea you drink. Yep, OBL sleeps with the fishes. No doubt about that.

How long did it take Obama to get the troops out?

Wasn't this pretty much expected to happen?

Isn't this why it was in our best interest to leave Saddam in power?

Where are you wing nut go to war jerks now?

This was your doing.

Jackoffs.
