More good news.
Iraq having access and ability to extract their #1 resource will increase their abilities to build/create/whathaveyou the "necessities" of modern existence and thus help stabilize the country even more.



President Bush pushed the Surge through againt villfication by the extreme and objections by the Democrats.
IOW Stay the Course






...


In the time honored traditon of using someones own rheotric against them.

You guys on the anti-war/far left/Democrat side where what ..Wrong.
Bush was right.
You can admit it right.."man" enough to admit it?..right.

For about 4-5 years Bush had to admit he was wrong or bla bla bla..

Your turn

Good for him. I think it's superb.

Bush? "Right"? I hardly think so....

I mean, you did catch the part about "cited improved security", right?

Well, so, let's translate that into English, 'kay?

'Cause I mean, they've been trying this since 2003, five days after the war started. And now it's what - the end of 2007.

And three months after the war started, that's why those KBR contractors walked away from their jobs, right? It's cause the army "couldn't protect 'em" - and I mean, their job was to rebuild refineries and pipelines and that kinda thing, but the terrorists kept blowing 'em up....

Are we on the same page so far? So that was, kinda "early" in the war, right? That was way back in Nov of '03, so maybe 4 years ago.

So, like.... what happened?

You know, the "surge" began back in July (or whatever - "started ramping up" back then) - so, I mean, how come it took so long, to get a competent general in place? And remove weasels like Bremer, who didn't know nothin' from nothin'?

I'll tell you why - it's 'cause Bushie and Cheney didn't know nothin' from nothin' - that's why.

And I mean, right now today, you wanna make big political hay over a little refinery-fixing that took four years to do, when Abdul Average over there doesn't even have safe running water and a consistent electrical supply.

So, I mean, all I can say is, I hope ol' Abdul is gettin' some of that oil money, 'cause I mean, that's how we were gonna pay for the war, remember?

I knew you'd like it...

Just think of all the stuff they can develop with OIL... evil! evil! OIL!



Without the security situation improving nonsqtr the oil would not be as secure as it is an they would not be seeing such production increase do to ..specifically cited--"improving security" ..duh..

Bush against your wishes and many others Stayed the Course
Bush and Cheney's....just to make you happy i'll throw in Darth.....PLAN and "Failed Policies" have led to the security situation improving.
President of the United States George W. Bush set/supported/pushed/backed/agreed/etc to the policy that led to this..appears he was smarter then you.
Ca-Ca..enjoy

Well.... "I" think it's a little too early to gloat....

But I mean, if you get frisson from a little up-tick, you know, I'll give you that one -

Like I said though, I hope Cheney and his greedy piglets haven't found a way to suck that oil money out of Iraq, 'cause I mean, that would probably be enough to bring down the Iraqi government...

It's a pretty big deal.

But it still comes down to the fact that the improved security situation is largely due to several Sunni tribal leaders switching sides because they were fed up with AQ.

I don't expect them to re-embrace AQ, but there's nothing stopping them from resuming their own insurgency if they decide cooperation isn't giving them what they need/want.

If we can keep them on board, we have a chance to establish a lasting peace. Oil revenues help in that regard, providing a tangible reason to keep the peace and remain part of Iraq.

But I'll feel better when this state of things has been sustained for a while, and the Iraqi government has made the political reforms necessary to defuse the native insurgents.

Well, I see no Democrat leaders apologizing yet.....and I doubt they ever will. But I DO look for them to try to sneak in another 180 degree turn and start saying, "Well, I was for this all along...blah, blah, blah." And some stupid people will actually believe them. But, of course, we ALL KNOW full-well they were NOT. In fact, many of them are still calling for stopping the funding right now.....HOPING Iraq and therefore George W. Bush will fail.

No, that's an oversimplification. The Sunnis got tired of fighting the US AND the government AND the shiite militias AND al qaeda. Unlike the al qaeda religious psychotics, it IS possible for rational iraqis to see that all the violence is going nowhere, and to want a normal life.

Does that mean that gas is about to drop to $1.00 a gallon.

Peace.
