1) I don't think Irans influence will ever be completely removed. It was there even under Saddam. Can it be mitigated? I would imagine so, but I do not believe that is the wish of the Iraqi Shia leaders.
I agree with this .. but McCain does not. His goal of "victory" can never be achieved .. AND, the war planners have had great success in EXPLODING corporate coffers, but what they really want is the oil and success for them is forcing Iraq into an oil deal that gives all the loot and control of the oil to us .. the pirates. You may not agree with this brother, but you should take the time and investigate the Great Game. You can start with reading "Project for a New American Century: Building America's Defenses."
Admittedly, I am forever astonished by how easily Americans have been manipulated and I am in awe of the power of cognitive dissonance. I gotta tell you, I am truly amazed. The planners of this war have made more money than any corporation in the history of Man and it was obvious as the nose on your face that this was the plan from the very beginning. They even wrote of, and told the world what they were going to do and STILL most Americans couldn't figure it out. "Saddam could have MUSHROOM CLOUDS in America in 45 minutes."
PLEASE tell me .. exactly how dumb would you have to be to fall for that bullshit KNOWING that Iraq has been under sanctions for a dozen years.
The fraud of the Iraq war has been crystal clear from the beginning.
Oh sure .. NOW we've figured it out ... tens of thousands of dead and wounded VOLUNTEER US soldiers and countless of dead INNOCENT people later.
The neocon puppetmasters even stole the election TWICE right before our eyes. "Don't worry about it, electronic voting with no paper trails and no one but the republican owned and operated voting machine companies will be allowed to count the vote." Don't worry about it.
PLEASE tell me .. how fucking dumb would one have to be to believe that bullshit?
The good news is that we aren't still that dumb.
2) A good question. I do not know the answer. I would think the main objective has to be to continue training up the Iraqi army and police so that they can take the strain off of the troops.
C'mon brother .. I just said we aren't still that dumb. Five years and billions of dollars have already gone into training the Iraqi police and military. I know you to be a smart guy .. take those blinders off and burst through the dissonance .. and tell yourself the truth. We just mass-murdered their families and friends. Start from there.
3) No. A draft would never work.
You damn skippy it won't work .. because the war is bullshit and no one wants their son, daughter, or loved one lost to bullshit. The anger and upheaval would be greater than during Vietnam.
Tell yourself the truth brother and stop bullshittin'.
Ok.... I agree Obama will win most blue states from 2004... but WHICH red states do you think he can take? As I stated before, I think he has a shot at OH, CO, NM.... but he also has shot at losing NH, PA, NJ and WI.
You heard it here first .. he will win every state you mentioned. Before you dispute that keep in mind that I was one of those right about Iraq and electronic voting. Were you?
I have the power.
Yes, I have seen the lack of enthusiasm by the Reps and the Dems were smart to go with Obama vs. Hillary as he brings enthusiasm to the Dems where she would have brought it for the Reps.
I think you underestimate McCain though. 35-40% are going to vote Dem no matter what and about 30% will vote Rep no matter what. That leaves the 30% in the middle and both McCain and Obama do well with those voters. The only way I see this as a big win for Obama is if a large portion of those "vote Rep no matter what" voters stay home.
McCain will be easy. Imagine the debate between McCain and Obama.
What is McCain selling? .. Bush, Bush war and potential war with Iran, Bush economics.
What is Obama selling? .. The UnBush.
I have a seat waiting for you when you finally take the "red pill" and let go of the Matrix my brother.
