1. Brilliant deduction.

All they had to do was look at Afghanistan, after the Sovs left, to know what's going to happen there. Assclowns.

2. They were warned of this BEFORE the invasion.

Ya think these boneheads'll listen? Not likely.

3. Wasn't that one of the things the antiwar folks warned we

might release if we opened the Iraqi 'Pandora's box'. Of course the Kurds are threatening to jump ship too. see:

I am so ashamed that our country has inflicted so much suffering on the Iraqi people.

4. Also, think Yugoslavia

This was one reason why I opposed the war in the first place.
Too many hostile ethnic groups in one place.

11. Kurds jump in...

As soon as the Kurds make the slightest move for independence, Turkey will invade. And do you think the Sunnis will just sit back and let the Shiites take over?

Iraq is destined to become a massive shxxstorm.

6. do you think this administration cares?

what happens in iraq the second the troops pull out?

long as the oil keeps flowing, everything'll be ok.

but what country will be our staging area for the invasion of syria?

10. It's all part of the NeoCon plan

When the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds start fighting, Syria, Iran and Turkey jump in. Guess who's side we'll be on. Damascus and Tehran = US occupation.

I'm no tinhatter, but it's pretty transparent.
