I perdicted no WMD's or yellow cake.
I predicted no cakewalk and no roses in our path
I predected it to last far longer than you did. On any of your last throes declarations.
I predicted ti to be pretty much the mess it is today
I predicted it to cost a whole lot of money.
you are the most consistently wrong person I have ever met Dixie.
But that comes in handy. I listen to what you say and expect the opposite to happen.
I also predicted no WMD's or yellow cake, he had ample time to get rid of those things, and he was only shopping for yellow cake, he didn't actually purchase it.
I predicted 10 years, start to finish, and less than a year to topple Saddam and defeat his regime. Never predicted rose pedals, but I did predict a majority of Iraqi's would accept democracy, and they have.
According to every report we've had from Iraq the past 6 months, everything is going well and we are making great progress. Mess? Where?
I also predicted it would cost a lot of money, wars always do. I also predicted it would be worth any amount of money to plant democracy in the heart of radical Islam, and I stand by that.
Since you can count on my predictions being wrong, let me make a few just for you... I predict, If Obama gets elected and pulls us out of Iraq....
Al Qaeda will be so grateful, they will just disband completely and give up on their Jihad against Infidels and Jews. They will renounce terrorism and start working with Jimmy Carter to build houses for the poor.
Ahmadenejad will abandon his nuclear program and sign a non-aggression pact with Israel. All it will take is a chat with Obama, and he will see the light.
In 2010, radical Muslim clerics will endorse a Gay Marriage initiative, in return for us withdrawing our military from the region. They will also give rights to women at this time, since it makes sense to do this if you are going to give gays the right to marry.
The War on Terror will end! All terrorists will be so impressed with how good Obama looks in a suit, and how well he speaks, they will no longer be compelled to terror! Instead, the Jihadists will all open "Free Stores," plant daisies, and make tie-die shirts.
The whole middle east will be so transformed, they will just start giving us oil for free. This will lower gas prices to a nickel a gallon, which will prompt Republicans to want to add a huge tax on gas, but the Democrats will refuse any new tax, unless it goes to pay down the national debt.
Now... going by your theory, these predictions should be spot on!
