View Full Version : A Challenge to Red States Rule

RSR continually slanders me by claiming that I have urged our "surrender" and our "defeat" in Iraq.

I have challenged him to either prove that claim by posting even ONE post of mine where I have ever expressed that sentiment... or retract it.

If he can prove it, I promise to leave DP.com and never return.

If he can't, I would imagine that his posse of rep circle buddies won't say diddly. I would be really impressed if he would either admit that he was wrong or maybe depart himself as the loser ought to.

I sincerely doubt the integrity of the RSR fan club here to call him to account... but I would welcome the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised.

He can't prove it, mfm, and he won't even try. He's made so many claims on this board, been challenged and is yet to offer up anything to subtantiate anything. He still thinks there were WMD's in Iraq, Al Queda and Saddam Hussein were drinkin' buddies, the towers were attacked by the Iraqi Republican Guard, that Alawi Chalabi is trustworthy, I could go on and on.

here's my questions:

if we leave and do not secure the peace, how is this winning?

if we leave because we cannot secure the peace, how is this not surrendering to the terrorists?

and to make it simple for mfm, these are ONLY questions, no hairs were harmed in this post as none were split

if we secure the peace, what makes you believe that the minute we leave, sunnis and shiites will not defect from the Iraqi military and immediately use their training to take up arms against each other.

YOu assume that a sustainable peace is being prevented by "terrorists". I do not see any proof of that. The sustainable peace will be prevented by the indigenous sunnis and shiites of Iraq who have a greater loyalty to their sect than they do to a fake country constructed on a map on a table in London nearly 100 years ago by a bunch of victorious Europeans who had no idea what ethnic groups they were throwing together in this country they called Iraq.

The "terrorists" who attacked us and who continue to threaten our security are not in Iraq and they never were in Iraq in any concentration warranting 150K troops. They ARE in Afghanistan and they ARE in Pakistan and they ARE, no doubt, in sleeper cells thoughout Europe and North America but we have pissed a trillion dollars away in Iraq that could have been put to a better use tracking them down

thanks for your POV, but that did not really answer my question. what to you is winning, for that is the opposite of defeat? what to you is not surrendering?

as to what i assume or no, you have no proof to your assertions either. from what i see on the news, the attacks/bombings are all caused by terrorists and the iraqis (general population) are tired of it and want peace. but that is another issue, just stick to the two above, thanks.

we have secured the peace. Maliki wants to set a timetable to get us out. the Iraqi military leaders feel confident in their ability to keep a lid on violence. Who are we to stay in a country when their leaders want us to leave?

#2 states:

I have already stated that we have secured "peace" in Iraq as well as it can be secured by a foreign invading conquering occupying army. the final details of securing the peace will have to be accomplished by the Iraqis.

So..the conditional if-how statement in #2 is moot

and just so you know: when talking about surrender of military forces, surrender is a military term and has a military definition. Our departing Iraq and turning over our encampments to the duly authorized government of Iraq is NOT surrender. It is ending an occupation. A parallel: did Britain SURRENDER Palestine in 1948? Answer: Of course they did not. They ended their occupation and turned over their encampemtns to the duly authorized government(s)

this is why i was confused and did not know you felt that way. for in the first post, you question "if" we secure the peace. do you have some difference between "peace" and "sustainable peace?" you need to clarify the discrepencies.

i disagree that peace is as secure as it can be by a conquering occupying army. if we wanted to, we could take over the land as has been done in history and really secure the peace. but we don't do that...

of course I have a difference between peace and sustainable peace. When Maliki and his generals say that they have a handle on sectarian violence - which many Iraqi leaders are already saying is a reality from their perspective,, there will be "peace". I frankly do not believe for a new york minute that the sunnis and shiites in the iraqi military and police forces will remain loyal to the central government once we depart. I believe that they will devolve into sectarian militias and they will do that if we leave this month or next year or five years from now of fifty years from now....IMHO.

I am not playing your "proof" game because while you never used the word surrender, your call for "redeployment" has the same result

By "redeploy" the troops you are doing the same. You are telling the enemy you are leaving before the job is done. The troops have destroyed AQ, political progress is being made, more and more areas of Iraq are under government control - all that will be lost if the Dems "redeploy" the troops

With redeploymentr you are hasnding the terrorists a win, they can start up the war again, have a country as a base of operations, use oil money to fianance their operations, and little Adolf in Iran will eye Iraq (and see the US does not have the guts to hang in there)

surrender has a very specific military definition. It involves turning over positions to the enemy and withdrawing from the battle space under duress. I have never suggested we do any such thing. I have suggested that we allow Iraqis to solve their own sectarian struggles and not babysit them while they do it. I have suggested that we could better assist them, perhaps, by interdicting any weapons/armaments shipments at the borders so that the non-government sectarian militias would not be able to continue their fight.

I have suggested that the war in Iraq is counterproductive to our REAL war against islamic extremism and that we need to stop trying to fight a nationless enemy as if it were a nationstate.

Invading, conquering and occupying real estate will do little to stop the growth of an IDEA. We need to win the war of ideas in the global marketplace of ideology... we do not do that by spending a trillion dollars in Iraq.

I am and have always been pretty hawkish when it comes to the military, but the war in Iraq is, in my opinion, a poor use of tour military. Believing that does NOT make me a surrender monkey or a traitor or unpatriotic. I am, and will always be, twice the patriot you will ever be.

Are you really suggesting that we make military strategic decisions based upon the pronouncements of an islamic extremist?

Again. I have NEVER advocated surrender or defeat. If you could show me one post where I have, you would have done so by now and I would be gone. Given the fact that you cannot defend yourself against my accusations of slander, at least have the decency to stop repeating it.

unfortunately for you, you do not get to write dictionaries. AQ is getting their asses kicked in Iraq... they will not be able to use Iraq as an HQ.

http://www.economist.com/specialreports/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11701285

One of America’s justifications for invading Iraq in 2003 was that Saddam Hussein was supporting al-Qaeda. That claim, like the one that he had weapons of mass destruction, has been discredited. In fact, it was the invasion of Iraq that revived al-Qaeda after its eviction from Afghanistan in 2001. By early 2006, America’s National Intelligence Assessment on terrorism concluded that the Iraq conflict was “breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement”.

It doesn't matter when we leave... Iraq will closely align itself with Iran. That was a foregone conclusion the moment we got rid of the sunni dictator who was keeping the shiites in Iraq from exerting their dominance.

How again will a badly beaten organization like AQ in Iraq not only use Iraq as an HQ, but get their hands on any oil money? You keep saying shit like that but you never can explain how it might happen.

obama has been calling for troop withdrawal for years, before the job was done. i believe someone else on this board has too. that is very, very different from the situation now. to give obama credit for the 16 months now is ludicrous. he introduced legislation in jan 07 to have troops out by force of law before the end of march 08. for years now he has wanted troops out, then when it came time actually have responsibility for doing it, he said he would refine his strategy.

the fact that the situation on the ground coincides with his latest call for troop withdrawal (which he actually hedged after he flat out promised it) is not call to congragulate obama, rather, a call to congragulate the troops on the ground and the current commander in chief.

i'm not positive that is accurate. i am not positive because even if we left, i don't think we would call it a "draw." plus the definition of surrender and the military definition don't seem to exactly fit. i am interested in jeff's take and how do you feel it fits the definition RSR?

it is though advocating defeat, if we are losing, e.g., not winning our mission and leave, i can't believe you would call that a victory.

the President defines the mission. period. not the military, and not california lawyers hanging around the internet. If Obama defines our mission as going after terrorists in Afghanistan, then that is what the mission is. If President Obama disagrees with the mission delineated by his predecessor, he is not required to continue it. period.

Our mission [singular] according to George Bush: Should we have to go in, our mission is very clear: disarmament

mission accomplished. No WMD's. Saddam gone. Government formed. long past time to go.

I thnk that the mission that Bush told us about before we invaded WAS accomplished long ago. I have been advocating withdrawal ever since we found out there were no WMD's and had captured Saddam and a new government was in place. If Iraqis want to live together in peace, and I happen to believe that they really and truly DON'T want to live together peacefully in one country, then it has always been up to them and not us to make that happen.

But in comments that suggest Iraq and Obama are not far apart on the issue, Dabbagh said Baghdad's goal was for foreign combat forces to leave by the end of 2010 if security conditions allowed. Dabbagh has floated a similar timeframe before.

"We cannot give any timetables or dates but the Iraqi government believes the end of 2010 is the appropriate time for the withdrawal of the forces," Dabbagh told reporters.

On Sunday, Dabbagh denied Maliki had told a German magazine in an interview that he backed Obama's troop withdrawal timeframe. Dabbagh had said no government statement should be seen as support for either U.S. presidential candidate.

Yep, Speigel backed off their original story:

http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7011674844


Kris Alingod - AHN News Writer

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's statements about Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) timetable for troop withdrawal were "misunderstood," an Iraqi government spokesman said over the weekend after American officials called on Maliki to clarify a report that he endorsed the U.S. presidential candidate's plan.

Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in an e-mailed statement sent through the Pentagon's Central Command press office that Maliki's remarks about Obama's timetable were "mistranslated and "not conveyed accurately," according to the New York Times.

"The statements made by the head of the ministerial council (Prime Minister al-Maliki) or any of the members of the Iraqi government should not be understood as support to any U.S. presidential candidates," Dabbagh's added in the statement.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel is quoted by Bloomberg as saying officials at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad spoke with Iraqi officials "and explained how the interview was being interpreted. The Iraqis were not aware and wanted to correct it.''

The German newspaper Der Spiegel quoted Maliki as saying in an interview, "Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes."

Der Spiegel said it stands by its story despite Maliki's retraction Maliki.

from the National Review, no less:

“Would you hazard a prediction as to when most of the US troops will finally leave Iraq?” Der Spiegel asked.

“As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned,” Maliki answered. “U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes.”

“Is this an endorsement for the US presidential election in November?” the magazine followed up. “Does Obama, who has no military background, ultimately have a better understanding of Iraq than war hero John McCain?”

“Those who operate on the premise of short time periods in Iraq today are being more realistic,” Maliki said. “Artificially prolonging the tenure of US troops in Iraq would cause problems. Of course, this is by no means an election endorsement. Who they choose as their president is the Americans’ business. But it’s the business of Iraqis to say what they want. And that’s where the people and the government are in general agreement: The tenure of the coalition troops in Iraq should be limited.”

let's try this again: from my FIRST link regarding the statement:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/21/obama.mideast/index.html

"The prime minister reiterated that principle with Obama, according to a statement from al-Maliki's office.

"Developments of the situation and the circumstances is what will decide the presence of foreign troops in Iraq, but without keeping open-ended dates," al-Maliki said, according to a statement from his office.

"With the developments on the ground, we can set a vision and clear horizons regarding this issue, and this is a view both sides agree on in the ongoing negotiations."

Al-Maliki's office quoted Obama as saying he is "supportive and committed to preserving the gains achieved by the Iraqi government" under al-Maliki's leadership and that he admires the prime minister's courage.

Obama has proposed withdrawing U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office. Spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the Iraqi government's "vision" is that most U.S. combat troops would be out of Iraq by 2010. Asked if that stance is part of the current negotiations, al-Dabbagh said, "No. This is the Iraqi vision.""

this is important and where you have distorted what really was said in a "statement" that apparently has not been issued as it keeps needing to be referred to as "according" to the statement, which is different than an official "issued statement" usually following reports that such and such official released a statement....the main point is this:


The prime minister reiterated that principle with Obama, according to a statement from al-Maliki's office.

now, reiterated from what? obama's plan as you suggest or bush's plan?


But al-Maliki and President Bush last week agreed to a "general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals" on troop cuts.

The prime minister reiterated that principle with Obama, according to a statement from al-Maliki's office.

the full context you conveniently left out



An Iraqi government spokesman said Saturday that the prime minister's comments to the magazine had been "misunderstood," and the White House said al-Maliki has made clear that any withdrawals would be conditioned on "continuing positive developments."

is that obama's plan in the primaries? no. is that his campaign pledge? no.

and again, more clarification:

(DOD) The transfer of forces and materiel to support another joint force commander's operational requirements, or to return personnel, equipment, and materiel to the home and/or demobilization stations for reintegration and/or out-processing.

The US doesn't surrender, officially. It conducts:

retrograde movement (http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/data/r/04688.html)
(DOD) Any movement of a command to the rear, or away from the enemy. It may be forced by the enemy or may be made voluntarily. Such movements may be classified as withdrawal, retirement, or delaying action.

retirement (http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/data/r/04685.html)
(DOD, NATO) An operation in which a force out of contact moves away from the enemy.

withdrawal operation (http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/data/w/05898.html)
(DOD) A planned retrograde operation in which a force in contact disengages from an enemy force and moves in a direction away from the enemy.

With all do respect Jeff, if Obama and MFM would have had their way - the success of the surge never would have happened

The US would have left Iraq as losers

The results would have been the same - so in my book redeployment is surrender

Dems would have shown the terrorists the US could not stand a fight and weakened because of troop deaths

I'm not arguing policy. I'm arguing semantics. Redeployment is NOT surrender. They are two separate and distinct ideas.

no. withdrawal means withdrawal. defeat means defeat. redeployment means redeployment. surrender means surrender.

and if McCain wins and we stay in Iraq for ten more years only to see the country's well trained army devolve into sectarian militias the moment we finally DO leave, then the blood of ALL those Americans who died in those intervening years will be on YOUR hands... not mine.

of course you feel this way, you're were caught making a booboo and got called on it, so you turn around and insult the other person to make yourself feel better and to distract from your mistake. you should really grow up and learn how discuss things in a rational manner.

boooring

there is no need to help RSR, he has already showed you were willing to leave before we won or accomplishmed our mission, e.g., you were willing to leave in defeat. that is enough.


a "booboo"? how fucking old are you? 12?

As I said, if you don't like the way that my post was worded, tough shit. Maliki's office did, in fact, issue a statement that confirmed the fact that the Iraqi government plan is essentially identical to Obama's in that both want America out of Iraq in 2010.... and both of those plans are significantly different than the neoconservative vision of a nearly permanent American presence in Iraq.

insults? I am not INSULTING you. I am laughing at your adolescent choice of language. I think it is funny. And I love how you are making a big huge deal out of an interpretative distinction that is withour real difference. Maliki wants us out in 2010. Obama wants us out in 2010. McCain wants us there for longer. THOSE are the facts.

this thread IS a challenge from me to HIM...not to YOU. Your participation in this thread from the very beginning has been as RSR's de facto advocate. Try to consider the longer view of a conversation and don't merely think that the last post is the only post.

And please feel free to rethink how you deal with me. You might consider starting from a position of dealing with me with respect if you wish to be treated with respect from me. If you are going to nitpick every post, ask idiotic questions like : is that YOUR opinion or is that the democratic party platform", and generally act like a little prick at every intersection with me, then I am not sure that I can treat you with much respect. sorry. If you'd care to try another path, you are certainly welcome to try.
