Bush: We Could "Easily" Be In Iraq For Another 10 Years

Reuters :

U.S. President George W. Bush said on Friday the United States would have a long-term presence in Iraq that could "easily" last a decade, but that it would be at the invitation of the Iraqi government.

In an interview with NBC News, Bush was asked about recent comments by Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain that it would be fine with him to have a U.S. military presence in Iraq for 100 years.

Ah, yes, the warmongering Bushwacker! Never seen an illegal occupation (invasion) or a reason to drop a bomb that he didn't like. Hey, Georgie Baby, you said that the U.S. should drop a bomb on Auschwitz for the atrocites committed against Jewish people. I believe turnabout is fair play. Iraq needs to drop a bomb on the U.S. for the atrocites YOU are committing on their people. There is surely a place in hell waiting for you for all the atrocities you have imposed on the human family here and around the world. I can hardly wait for the day when you will make atonement for YOUR evil ways... and you will one way or another...

OUR TROOPS WERE HAPPY TO SEE PRESIDENT BUSH WHEN HE VISITED THEM IN KUWAIT TODAY!

"HOOAH" "HOOAH" "HOOAH"

What George W. is trying to say, we'll be there until the oil is gone!

[bumpersticker]

It fails the Canada test. Why does Canada not need this occupation in the mideast, and why isn't Canada hated?

It fails the German test. If we're there 10 more years, how is it qualitatively different than Germans in France with tanks?

Every aggressor claims it is a reaction, and not a choice.

[Birdman]

Didn't rum dummy say I doubt we will be there 6 months? Didn't they say it woudl be a slam dunk, didn't Bush say the oil would pay for it? When are you cons going to wake up and realize these pigs all lied to you.

"We could "easily" be in Iraq for another 10 years"

That's "easilier" said than done. We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.

[Jonahson]

What Bush had done to Iraq, causing the deaths of thousands of innocent beings, will haunt him in his last years of life. This is not about religion it is about science. Every action has an equal opposite reaction.

Pakistan where al Qaeda is based (Musharraf) told Bush to f... off and stay out. Bush is doing the cowardly thing by attacking somewhere else.

Closed for comment, OF COURSE...

"Bush Tears Up: US Should Have Bombed Auschwitz"

The Air Force should've bombed that Connecticut hospital back in '46.

Looks like, at this point, even the few remaining brain cells aren't communicating with each other.

What a sad excuse for a human being...

[StillAmused]

Ten years? Kinda optimistic, aren't ya', Junior, when you figure the yield rate of the typical oil rig?

... unless they punch a whole lot of new holes in the lulls between suicide bombings.

Anyone still missing the forest for the trees?

Clinton lied under oath.Bush just followed the backing of democrats and republicans.He would not have invaded without their support.Get your facts right.

This is some dellusional shit. Only sad, Neo-Con morons buy this laughable line of crap.

Bush invaded Iraq, DESPITE the REAL Americans in congress who told him not to...and now he has made America far less safe. Bush is a coward, his neo-con supporters are cowards, and if it wasn't for REAL presidents like JFK and Clinton...America would have become a third world country long ago.

Bush is a criminal and a traitor, he should be thrown in jil along with Cheney, Rove, and ALL neo-con filth.

[USMC1980]

Bottom line. If you want to be in Iraq for 10-100 years...vote for a Republican. If you want to get our boys home from Iraq, and go fix the REAL war in Afghanistan, and finally kill that SOB, Bin Laden...vote Democrat.

[CountryOver]

no, no... this is ridiculous.
not 10

50 at the very least... 10 is really lowballing it, Chimp

We shouldn’t have bugged out in ’91. If we’d stayed then Hussein would have been deposed in the ‘90s, bin Laden would have been dead (or effectively neutralized), thousands of Iraqis who’d supported the US during the Kuwait invasion wouldn’t have been punished (murdered) by having fire dropped on them, there would have been no attacks on the WTC in ’93 and ’01, which means 3,000 Americans wouldn’t have been murdered by the bin Laden led al Qaeda on 9-11. There’s more, but since it only supports American interests, I guess it isn’t important.

The fact that liberal Huffposters and the rest of the gang don’t understand this, and won’t even discuss the issue, is proof that the America-hating propaganda machine, based right here in our own country, has done great damage.

And if you disagree with me, you’re worse than Hitler.

[shockmagog]

When Bush tries to come back to the United States we should just keep the door locked.

"Sorry," we'll say. "There's no one home."
