It's rather amusing and telling that in the neo-conman timetable, five years isn't already "long term". The neo-conmen, McBatshit included, desperately wish to repeat the catastrophic foreign policy failure that has been our Korea policy for the past 50 years. Apparently 50 years is not enough time to arm, train and provide enough intel for the South Koreans to defend themselves - so they live and thrive under our state-sponsored welfare system, their security provided on the backs of the American taxpayer ...

... and that seems to be OK with our media, our politicians and our uninformed electorate.

So lets piss away another half-century of "aid" to Iraq ...

... or, better yet, how about we take our heads out of our asses.

If the Iraq government doesn't understand how our government works, they will soon find out. Nice try George, you'll have to come up with another way to secure your oil interests.

The next Commander in Chief , President Obama will be voiding this deal big time.

He is just following orders from his top advisers. He knows nothing.

There's nothing - well, not too much - wrong with the USA that the heaviest slab of concrete able to be supported by as many of the world's largest cranes as feasible dropped from the greatest height possible on all of the assembled gangsters of the BushCheneyNeoConReThug Mafia wouldn't fix.

i have a great idea. the USA should bomb out and occupy all the middle easy countries including israel. random waterboardings should keep the natives calm while they rejoice in american style freedom and peace forever.

That sort of thing happens when you build enduring freedom bases on top of Iraqi oil reserves.

"...the Bush administration has begun negotiations with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to keep U.S. troops in Iraq for years..."

You mean the same Snori al-Milky that will be deposed next month? That Snori? Well, if you believe that, you don't know Snori. MY Snori will find a way to leave the country BEFORE being deposed.

Must be a misprint. I distinctly heard the President say it was a liberation.
When words are this cheap, Occupation=Conquest=kind of like Poland, but drier=Colonialism.

Bush is gonna leave a big steamer on the porch of America and he isn't even gonna wipe his ass.

And in other news today Pinocchio began negotiations with Giuseppe that would allow his strings to remain in place until he regains full control of his wayward body members some of which has begun attacking each other and "treating his body like it was a circus" in the words of the puppet's wooden spokes-dowel.

al-Maliki was the person who told the C I A that Sadam had WMD'S.

al-Maliki then went to England and told M I 6 that Sadam had WMD'S, and if they did not believe him they could ask the C I A. MI 6 calls the C IA and they yes we heard that.

MI 6 releases new story the Sadam has WMD'S. Then Bush has a reason to push for war.

Funny huh????

al-Maliki used to work for Exxon. Still funny??

"Negotiating", as they call it, while the country is under military occupation is yet another war crime.

That would be called a treaty, and treaties needs to ratified by Congress. These sons of bitches think they can do anything as long as it fits in their concept of perpetual war.

The Iraqi's, and that's a majority marched in the streets, you wouldn't know it too watch the regular stations but they did, they want us OUT of Iraq. But they do want us to leave them a blank check when we leave so they can use our money to continue their civil WAR.
Pull our troops and whatever $$ is left (hahahaha) out now and tell them to handle their own problems our military has done their job and I for one don't want to leave them over there as targets while Bush and Cheney retire to their mansions and count their gold coins.
