Your ability to predict the future is interesting. Can you tell me what stocks are going to go up, or who is going to win various sporting events? Those are things that can go either way. There are two things that I can predict for sure - 1. The sun will rise in the east tomorrow. 2. Iraq will continue to hurtle towards disaster (as it has for the last 4+ years). That isn't really the case, and even if it was true, that hardly means the experts would be automatically correct. By any measure (dead Iraqis, dead Americans, availability of electricity, civic amenities), that has been the case. And the experts had predicted it before they happened. "Most experts", haven't even mentioned such an idea, let alone made statements saying it wouldn't work. Some have. Most haven't brought up that idea, probably because they know that adding a million more troops is not a feasible idea, since the warmongering Dumbyassholes are too cowardly to join the wars that they cheer on from the sidelines. True but just about entirely without significance. The significance is that some of you Dumbyassholes keep coming on TV and predicting that if only we give another two FUs, things will change. So I am just showing how exactly they are changing.

Published on Wednesday, May 19, 2004 by The Herald / UK Iraq Disaster Isn’t Coming to an End, it’s Only Just Begun by Iain Macwhirter Politicians need to convey the impression at all times that they know what they're doing, even when they don't. That's what they're paid for, after all. But every so often the mask of competence slips. They reveal, in a flash, that they simply haven't a clue; that they're winging it, making it up as they go along, hoping no-one will notice. This moment came yesterday when the government announced that it was "full throttle" to the handover of power to an Iraqi civil administration on June 30. "Six weeks to sovereignty" – that's the message coming from the US-led coalition. We've done the job, now it's time to hand over to the grateful people of free Iraq. All we need to do, it seems, is send a few more troops to train the Iraqi military, stage elections, and then everyone can live happily ever after. [....]

May 21, 2007, 4:34PM Iraq makes plans for quick U.S. pullout BAGHDAD — Iraq's military is drawing up plans to cope with any quick U.S. military pullout, the defense minister said Monday, as a senior American official warned that the Bush administration may reconsider its support if Iraqi leaders don't make major reforms by fall. What will the Dumbyass do if the Iraqis don't make the reforms? Do what the Democrats are saying and pull out of Iraq? Of course not. Then what does "the Bush administration may reconsider its support" mean?
