Bush did something similar several years ago and the Dumb-o-crat cry babies have been crying bloody murder ever since.
And when Bush proposed doing something to prevent the coming fiscal crisis known as Social Security (which will cost much more than a mere trillion dollars!), the Dumb-o-crats shouted that down too. What was it they said? Little old ladies will be eating dog food and going dumpster diving if we tried to privatize social security?
Pay no attention to the talk about the money, ladies and gentlemen. That is merely a ploy. Dumb-o-crats love to spend money, that is, other persons' money. This is a right out of Machiavelli's "The Prince", keep power by being generous with the money of others.
No, all this talk about the cost of the war is to provide a reason to not only withdraw all of our troops, but to cut funding to the Iraqis altogether. Yes, and the Democrats are hell bent on repeating the mistakes of Vietnam. They WANT history to repeat itself.
Don't you remember? I do! First we withdrew our troops from Vietnam, then Congress cut funding to the Vietnamese troops altogether, then Vietnam fell! Remember the scene with the helicopter atop the American Embassy in Saigon? I do! Then remember what happened? The Vietnamese spread revolution and pandemonium throughout South East Asia. Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge killed 2 million people in Cambodia. Hundreds of thousands more were killed, tortured or imprisoned throughout Vietnam.
Now listen, because this is what could happen. Withdraw our troops, Iran jumps in, eventually, the entire Middle East is in turmoil, and I mean war on a large scale.
Do you think you pay too much for gasoline now? Wait until a war in the Middle East starts. You'll be paying two, three, five times the current price, if you can get gasoline at all!
Do you think our economy is doing poorly now? (Actually, only a moron would believe it is doing poorly now, but the Dumb-o-crats do! But I digress!). Just WAIT until the price of oil goes over 100 dollars a barrel because tankers from the Middle East are being sunk on a daily basis and oil fields are up in flames.
Oh, and forget global warming, you will have global pollution on a scale never before imagined once the Middle East is engulfed in war without end.
It will get better! Just wait until Iran tries to launch a nuclear missile at Israel, too. Don't you think they won't either. Then Israel will retaliate.
So, we not only will have the Middle East engulfed in war, global pollution, a world wide economic catastrophe but a nuclear war to boot.
And the fact that two oceans separate us from the rest of the world won't help, because were are inextricably linked to it. This is the age of a global economy. Not only that, but the ecological consequences will be dire. Between nuclear fallout and climate changes caused by thousand of oil well fires, there will be no place to hide.
By then, there won't be a George W Bush to blame. Hillary Clinton will be on the throne, let's see what the bitch does then. And let's see how Pelosi will multitask her way out of a national crisis. The old Democrat tactic of blaming Bush won't help matters. Western civilization will be held hostage to the events of the Middle East. Hillary Clinton won't be able to lie or carpetbag her way out of this one.
Yes, you are so right! Withdrawing the troops from Iraq is a great idea!
