Remember how President Obama said that we’d be withdrawing all our troops from Iraq by the end of 2011? Turns out, that may have to get listed on the “Yeah, not so much” column. Can’t say I didn’t warn you:
…we’re never going to leave Iraq because the point of our going there was to stay. (June 17, 2005.)
It’s the end of all combat operations.
There’s still kinetic activity in which to partake.
“Kinetic activity”—Same with those Japanese still hiding out in those remote jungles in the Pacific–BANZAI!!!!
I think it would make a swell amusement park. Natually, all rides would need to be pointed towards Mecca.
That torture happened at Gitmo is indisputable. Average weight gain for inmates/terrorists at Gitmo: 26 lbs. Must be a critical shortage of horse whips down there.
And to think THAT wasn’t contained in the Department of Defense budget. My goodness, who’s running that show down there? Now you can’t even use horse whips? I’ve even seen them used on the Rifleman and even theBonanza western shows back in the 50s and 60s. A crying shame it is….
@Bob,
@Bob, I keep sending Comcast trucks down to get you hooked up, but they insist every time they try, you open fire on them with the various assault weapons you have in your vast collection. I’m not sure what this means, but several witnesses said you opened fire on several black heliocopters flying around your house. And you were communicating through a bullhorn using with some odd language called “Esperanto”. Do stay tuned, my friend!
They tried the Kevlar vests but you’re way too good of a shot to be stopped by that.
Just be careful. You know, Waco and all that.
Forgive me, this is very politically incorrect, but just about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. “Don’t ban me, bro, don’t ban me bro….” the funniest SB commercial ever made.

Jaybird:
Under Barry’s leadership, the Army’s Brigade Combat Teams in Iraq have been renamed “Advise and Assist Brigades.” Some times the advising and assisting takes the form of kinetic action.
So much for “hope and change.”
“Never” is a long time. A hundred years from now will “we” (by which I mean, American soldiers) still be there?
Would you rule it out? Guantanamo Bay is a remnant of the Spanish-American war, and that’s over a hundred years ago. I don’t particularly expect American troops to be out of Europe by 2045 either.
No, I wouldn’t rule it out.
I predict it will take us as long to withdraw from Iraq as it took us to withdraw from Germany.
The problem will be how long we will be kinetic in Iraq.
“Kinetic” is worthy of the Nixon administration, every bit as good as “That statement is inoperative” to describe bald-faced lies.
Greg, you can’t be THAT silly, can you? (The Onion as a source of scientific “consensus”.
@Greg—Personally, I hope you are because the wealth of comic material would be endless!
I’m still a little stuck with the man-made global warming is caused by man-made global cooling–or is it the other way around? The consensus is can’t figure it out either. If you can throw enough money at them, you’ll get any answer and explanation you want. And talk about hoaxes–how about Android Al scaring the hell out of the liberal dunces and saying the “melting” of glaciers at Mt. Kilimanjaro will cause the entire continent of Africa to be underwater in 20 YEARS!!!
Let’s get something straight right now–ice evaporates. Anywhere and everywhere it exists. The melting of glaciers at Mt. Kilimanjaro is caused by lack of precipitation, NOT “global warming”. Yes, the temperatures at altitude ARE below freezing and when you have a lack of precipitation sufficient enough to replace the water lost by evaporation, you get…….glacier melting! It’s only been going on for the last few billions of years so maybe we should give Gore a break. I’d also advise him to study sublimation, a very important process that causes ice to melt as well. In this process, ice is directly and immediately turned into water vapor at below freezing temperatures. That’s just simple high school chemistry.
