Let’s stop kidding ourselves. These people don’t want peace. Let’s pull out and let them have at it.
Written by GussA new political accord between Iraq’s main Sunni Arab, Shi’ite and Kurdish leaders will not be enough to lure boycotting Sunni Arabs back into the government, a spokesman for the biggest Sunni Arab bloc said on Monday.
In a rare positive political development, Sunni Arab Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi joined Shi’ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and other leading Shi’ite and Kurdish politicians to announce late on Sunday that they had agreed on key issues.
Although they did not announce details, they said they had agreed on a mechanism for releasing detainees, the text of a law on distributing oil revenue and measures to readmit former members of Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party to public life.
All of those were key demands of the Sunni Arab bloc, the Accordance Front, which triggered a political crisis by pulling its six ministers out of Maliki’s government on August 1. Hashemi is a member of the Front but did not resign his post.
But Saleem al-Jubouri, a leading Front member of parliament and spokesman, said the deal reached on Sunday would not by itself be enough to lure the ministers back into the cabinet.
“We are not boycotting political dialogue, but this does not mean that we are returning to the government,” he told Reuters.

Maybe you weren’t watching news shows when we pulled out of Viet Nam and didn’t see the people surging against the fence at our embassy, doing anything to get inside the compound so they could get out of the country. Maybe you don’t remember seeing people hanging onto the bottom of helicopters trying to get a ride out because they were targets since they had been our employees and friends.
Maybe you missed the news reports of the boat people dying trying to get to freedom.
Maybe you weren’t watching the news when the Killing Fields happened in Cambodia and almost the entire population was murdered by the communists.
I saw it and I don’t want to see anything like it again.
These people are human beings and are entitled to life also.

You just don’t get it. I don’t care.

And I don’t care that you don’t care, but it’s a good campaign topic, isn’t it?

Our young people that are being sacrificed should have the same rights.

This has been the biggest screw up in history. Just because Republicans say it’s the right thing to do, doesn’t make it so. We’re not Neanderthals whose only answer to anything is violence.

I think you Republicans are turning into bleeding heart tree huggers.

You want to play politics today, Guss? Because I have a few things to say about your party I have restrained myself from saying, but if that’s the game you want then be prepared for what comes your way.
