a success???

This guy is a joke.

I have a dream, that some day the Democratic Party will represent that 80%+++ of the population who are NOT

• right wing fascists,
  
• the lackey's of right wing fascists,
  
• the fools who think right wing fascists will deliver on anything they lie about,

Sell outs, chickenshits, and half & half of each will either be in the fascist party, if that is where they truely belong, or they'll be doing something useful, NOT in political leadership.

Can Brian Baird help me count them?

Let's see: there was "Mission Accomplished".

Then there were down to "Dead Enders".

Then there was the "Election".

Then, of course, all hell broke loose, so we didn't win again for a while - but we were always making "Progress".

The fact that this "Progress" has resulted in an Iraq of four heavily-armed factions who have yet to figure out how to share a single thing is apparently okay because:

"The Surge Has Worked."

Um,....no.

This line comes from an Administration - and Brian  "Lieberman" Baird has joined that Administration - that had a "democracy plan" for a little nation called "Georgia" that also had "worked".

How's that lookin' now?

Right now, there's a lull where the political violence is down to "only" a few hundred murders a month. That's more political murders in a fiscal quarter than Zimbabwe has had during its entire political crisis.

We have achieved this by arming and empowering two large factions in the center of the country between whom a near-civil-war was raging - the Sunni and the Moderate Shia - so that there is now a balance of power between them.

However, Shiite Islam is a religion that inextricably links two countries: Iraq and Iran. All - mind you all - Shiite clerics must receive training in Iraq AND Iran - at the holy cities. All Shiites must endeavor to visit all twelve of the holy cities - six in Iraq and six in Iran.

Iran may be the center of Conservative or Radical Shia Islam - whichever you like - but that confession is everywhere in the Shiite world - including Iraq and not just in the person of Al-Sadr.

So Iran will absolutely never lose influence in Iraq - never. When the time comes, they will expand the influence of Conservative Shiism to Iraq even more than it already has expanded and ultimately arm those factions.

Up North, the Kurds want their own country. It's just that simple. Every major Kurdish politician has long ago pledged his commitment to a state of Kurdistan.

Traditional Kurdistan and the Kurdish population describe a geographical stretch from a bit southeast of Mosul in Iran to.....guess what country?

Georgia.

Guess who was the second nation to open a consul in Erbil?

Russia.

Now get out your maps and draw a line from the oil-rich city of Kirkuk - which the Kurds are fighting for control of  - and the Georgian oil port of Poti - which the Russians just fought for control of.

Note what is on the left side of that line -

It's Europe.

Note what is on the right side of that line -

It's huge, huge reserves of oil and gas.

Take a guess who lives along that line -

Kurds.

Did any of you notice that right before the Russians went into Georgia, the Kurdish resistance in Turkey set fire to the BTC oil pipeline which crosses that line? Hmmm, I wonder if the Russians might want some influence along that line.

"Mission Accomplished" Congressman Baird?

I don't think so, you moron.

If Baird didn't like his reception in Denver, he should just go to the convention where he really belongs. It's this week and it's in Minneapolis.

"We ought to just say that it worked".
Yeah, thats right out of the KR playbook. Keep saying it over and over till you believe it yourself and can convince others what they are seeing isn't real.
Are you kidding me? He is as delusional as the retoric he spews. What facts? His or the McInsane & Co. facts? Measured by what? So we have fewer dying and maimed! The collateral damage cost is at an acceptable level?
He is speaking 1984 and we all know it and so are the other B&M propaganda mongers.
Chest-beating elected officals are the lowest.
