thank you American military

Party like it's 799.

Party on Iraqi dudes and dudettes! ;-)>

Good to see Iraqis speaking of hope for the future.

And I love the part about the guy hoping to go out and meet some girls.

I'm sure this will be on the front page of every newpaper in the U.S. tomorrow.

This is very good news! I'm surprised Reuters reported it!

A'ash al Iraq!

And Thank You, our Blessed Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines!

(Of course, al-REuters had to say, the party "had a tentative feel." I guess the reporter was waiting for a bomb to go off and was disappointed.)

But...but....Harry Reid told me that the war was lost.

Good news indeed. it will be on every morning show tomorrow./

Thanks to our Troops. G-d Bless them.

re: #8 DesertSage

But...but....Harry Reid told me that the war was lost.

He's right. His side has lost.

Gotta remember that Hopeless Harry is on the side of the terrorists.

On NPR they actually said it was "safer than before the American invasion."?!?

Grimly, he intoned.

"I haven't seen a happy place like this in so long. I wanted to see if I could maybe meet a few girls!" he said. "I only hope the Iraqi people can enjoy more happy times like this."

re: #8 DesertSage

But...but....Harry Reid told me that the war was lost.

F**K harry reid. That is amazingly great news and I hope the Iraqis realize who is responsible for this possibility and thank them as often as they can. I could not be more proud of our brave and brilliant US forces! Thank God (literally) that we have them.

I remember my New Years in Baghdad, and wondering if RPG's counted as fireworks.

I really hope this is another real indication that things are getting better for those poor people. Many of you won't believe it, but most of them really deserve it.

re: #6 vapig

I finished that essay. I think the fellow down-played Hellenic and Hellenic/Christian (Byzantium) architecture and science which never did die out, as in no dark age. And while Babylon did have the zero, the Muslims got it from India. As for algebra, he is correct that it is entirely unislamic, as the mathematicians were Christians in occupied land, but they were building upon Hellenic foundations (primarily geometric and Cartesian calculations ). All that having been said. The essay as a whole is right on.

You know whats funny to me, I was watching the Pats/G-men game the other night and thought that the G-men had won the game. They only showed the G-men had 35 points, I figured that they must have won. Oh wait, that did not happen, they actually showed both scores and the G-men lost the game 38 - 35. Why do we never hear about the numbers of animalistic terrorist they have been sent to hell in those reports? (rhetorical)

re: #56 Bob in Breckenridge

It means that every single loss on our side is a tragedy...but 800 in one year is an amazingly LOW number for combat losses in one year.

Other than the fact that it is deaths, it is quite an impressive number. We should be bragging that they only got 800. That number is remarkably LOW!

800 loses in one year is a success...not a loss. So boo hooo to those that try to use that # against the mission. And whaaaaaaa to them too. Pathetic, ignorant, shmucks! No grasp of reality.

That is what that is supposed to mean.

re: #79 bottehond
My opinion is that Bush micro-managed the Iraq occupation into a near failure with politically correct directives that can only be described as idiotic. after the loss of the '06 elections Bush realized his only hope in Iraq was the change of tactics and the surge. If the Republicans had won in 2006 the "surge" in Iraq might not have occurred.

If you are wondering about Bloomberg's maybe third party bid, here's the outfit behind it, I wrote about them in 2006.

Their article at Wiki also thinks states that it might be a masked "spoiler candidate" but nobody's clear from which side they will come yet.

re: #138 jimsaco

Given some time, I could think of better uses for a Trillion dollars, and 4000 American lives, than to enable a bunch of Baghdadis to whoop it up on New Years.

Actually, if this is the first time in how many years these people can safely whoop it up, more power to them! FREEDOM! It tastes great and if they can FINALLY taste it, let them enjoy it.

Not a surprise. You can't talk to most Russians unless you drink with them, or at least most of those I encountered had that attitude.

But my liver was hobnailed.

In Moscow it was common to see people walking around, drinking out of open bottles of vodka (not even bothering with a paper sack) in the middle of the day. The biggest section in any grocery store was the adult beverages.

But that didn't freak me out as much as Israeli gas stations that sold liquor.

I live in Oregon, the only place here that you can by "hard alcohol" is at a liquor store. I was shocked to my core the first time I went into a grocery store in California. I never even knew that Albertson's had their own brand of vodka.

By the way, Happy New Year to all!

I had a friend in college who had a BA in Russian. Man, could he put down the vodka.

re: #95 LoFlyer

re: #79 bottehond
My opinion is that Bush micro-managed the Iraq occupation into a near failure with politically correct directives that can only be described as idiotic. after the loss of the '06 elections Bush realized his only hope in Iraq was the change of tactics and the surge. If the Republicans had won in 2006 the "surge" in Iraq might not have occurred.

How do you know LoFlyer? How do you know that the war would have gone any better if it wasn't conducted exactly the way it was?
Mismanagement? That's a f*cking buzz word that John F'n Kerry and the MSM have shoved down your throat so often that you actually believe it!
Did Lincoln mismanage the Civil War also? Would it have gone any different if he used different tactics? I believe that it went exactly the way it was supposed to go. It took four years, but the North won in the end.
Maybe this war went the way, maybe it was supposed to play out like it did. Maybe if the Iraqis didn't have to deal with al-Qaeda for a few years they wouldn't have turned against them s dramatically....did you ever think of that?

My News Years resolution-
I will respond to every arm-chair General who thinks they could have done a better job at prosecuting this war then the people who were actually doing it!

I have lived in "Pump your own" states and I much prefer to let someone else do it. Of course, gassing up the vehicles is on the husbands chore list not mine.

Oregon and New Jersey, what a weird combo.

I was in New Jersey on business once years ago. I was suprised that had to purchase your wine at a store and bring it with you. The restaurant that we ate at was allowed to serve, but not sell. No that is strange.

Funny you say this.

While I think there are legitimate gripes as to the way some of the operation has been handled over the years, all in all, an exclamation point on all of our efforts trying to reshape a part of the world without hope, a part of the world less than 20 years ago, had no dancing, but Kurdish children lying dead in the streets of Halabja, folks getting a chance to celebrate, live life as normal human beings, is a great success.

Recognize, when we liberated Paris, they danced.

They danced in the streets of New York City.

On Christmas Day in 1991, Warsaw Pact Nations were able to celebrate, thanks to the efforts of the people who seek freedom not for themselves only, for everyone.

This is a good thing.

We will truly realize this, years down the road.

Do you have any idea the amount of pressure this man has been under the last few years? The entire world and most of his country were telling him to give it up, to get out of Iraq. But he didn't....he never gave up!
A lot of people here on LGF were saying the same thing!

I was at a point where I was tired of defending the man....but I never gave up on him....or our troops! I knew that, just like Lincoln did, Bush would find the right General and turn this thing around.

And I'd like to slap the shit out of all those naysayers like Harry Reid....the entire Democrat party...and ChenZhen!

Huck 32%
Romney 26%
McCain 13%

Fred 9%
Rudy 5%

Dems

Obama 32%
Hillary 25%
Edwards 24%

These young Iraqis who are partying and tasting freedom on this New Years eve will not forget what America has done for them.

And they will not forget that Europe (except for GB and Poland) left them twisting in the wind.

And that the American Left wanted to leave them twisting in the wind also (this I will never forget!)

There's another turd in the punch bowl.

In Las Vegas tonight, they've shut down the strip, from car access, so it'll be one big Drunks-on-Parade production from Trop to Sahara; at least until 3am, when the cars come back, and the taxis put cattle-catchers on their front grills.

I learned a few new things this year. Apparently, "Pai Gow" literally translates to "Just leave you wallet on the table and walk away, it'll save you time".

I also learned there is a casino in Vegas where they have 24-hour bingo. (Long game).

re: #163 DesertSage
After defeating Iraq, a sane military commander would of put Iraq under two weeks of martial law and recovered all the weapons held by civilians and the military. Instead Bush allowed a two week free-for-all that looked great in the media, but resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths of civilians and American troops. This is not hind-site, myself and many others shared the same opinion after the defeat of Iraq. Discuss the initial occupation with troops over there and see what they think about this issue.
Now I'm off to track down some fire works, where did I leave the mortar tubes?

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

his people all danced,
and he found out that hell was really France.

But when Saddam was hanged,
his sons couldn't complain,
and now Sarcozy is dating a babe.

That sucks. Maybe try haiku?

Maybe try shuttin' up...

Back and forth. Back and forth.

There was a bad man in Iraq,
Whose best buddy was Jacques Chirac,
His name was Saddam
He wanted the bomb,
And he smelled like a big piece of shat.
