I’ve met Americans who are so anti-Bush that they actually wish misfortunate on the American forces in Iraq and take pleasure at headlines about suicide bombings and the like. I find this sickening and mind-boogling. If Americans are pissed off at the lack of WMDs (as I am) and the U.S. occupation, then they can vote Bush out of office. But to actually hope that things don’t settle down in Iraq and that the U.S. is forced to leave with a bloodied nose??? It’s a very self-indulgent and mean-spirited attitude.
I can’t really imagine this in a New Zealand context. We have plenty of loonies but, thankfully, our politics are not so polarized.

The coalition in Iraq wants its troops to remain immune from prosecution by Iraqis after the handover of power, it is reported.[/quote]

Torture, anyone?
This whole mess sounds like of of Closet Queen’s soirees going slightly awry. 
Well, the goal was always to turn the day-to-day administration and security tasks over to the Iraqis as fast as possible. We were not supposed to even have to be setting these things up, but the former government and army just melted away. So, a surprise that we have had to deal with but the sooner the Iraqis take over their country and are forced to be responsible for their actions, the better. We will of course remain militarily as a strategic counterweight to prevent any would be dictator from staging a coup or using muscle to influence elections in inappropriate ways.
I’ve had more use out of my uniform than you ever had. And I win - every time. 
Does anyone know what the definition of “the course” is?
Neoconservatives have been resoundingly silent whenever asked what their specific end goals are in Iraq.
I have to assume that’s because their vision of “the course” is an American version of the Occupied Territories replete with targeted assassinations and Potemkin sovereignty.
It’s just hard for me to imagine they’ve gone through all this trouble just to see a cruel, cowardly secular strongman replaced by a suicidal Islamic firebrand as leader of Iraq – despite what the Iraqi people may want.
OI!
This thread was supposed to be about coming up with a snappy ‘gate’ name for the IPAS. You’ve all gone off on a tangent. Stick to the thread; shit… it was an easy enough bloody question!

That would be breaking the Forumosa rules! Perhaps you’ll be invited to CQ’s next party.

Blueface, sweetie pie :lovestruck: sounds like you want to come out of your own closet. In the meantime darling how about a snappy ‘gate’ title for this thread? You are, after all a master of the one-liner. Go on, one little contribution before you go out and play with your guns.

MMM. Blueface. You big macho American boy with biggy sticky. I bet you got a video of NYPD+broomstick+Haitian…and you just ran out of tissues. Seems like you US blokes in uniforms like to insert long wooden things up the bottoms of the defenceless; it’s becoming a national characteristic. I’ll stick with ‘Bumgate’ for this thread as Blueface has indicated that that is what he is into. Probably why he is currently surrounded by little naked brown boys on the beach.
Kiss Kiss

You are just soooooooooooooooooo funny. Do you write American sitcoms; your humour is about as sophisticated. :lovestruck:
Go lick your gun licence.
C’mon Blueface. Where’s your suggestion? Try and come up with one that does not involve our respective mothers. 
Well…I could talk about your father but he could have been any trooper in the 555th Parachute Regiment…so what’s the point?

:upyours:

That’s impossible, my father is an intelligent man and he would never joined an organisation for the brain-dead, semi-literate such as the US Army.
So where is your contribution to this thread or are you still in Kindergarten? :upyours: too darling, soldier boy.
Got news for you sunshine…that old wanker who slaps you silly everytime you drool is NOT your father. Your real father probably went back to Alabama and retired…regretting all the days of his life that 5 minutes when he let his inhibitions down. And forgot to wear a rubber. But he was drunk. And the moon was full. And there was a blackout. And your mom was passed out under the table…
Damn! I think I’m going to write a novel…

Actually, can you ask your mum what the going rate is. She just tried to charge me extra for a blow job. We have reached an impasse. Please be quick, she’s dropping scabs all over the parquet flooring. Love you kiss kiss :lovestruck:
