OK - Why are they planning AFTER the war has started?
Shouldn't they have had a PLAN in the BEFORE the WAR???

Herrrro!


Plan PRIOR to INVADING not 3 YRS AFTER THE FUCKIN FACT?

Is the media reporting on this?

That is like planning on your retirement after you've already retired?
That's like writing an initial business plan as you're file for bankruptcy?

Are the kool-aid drinkers getting this?

1. Ding, Ding, Ding!!!
We have a winner :applause: :applause: :applause:

Bush* and gang are hoping we'll all be arguing about the details of the "plan" and forget that they actually didn't have one going in

Count on DUers to be the only bloggers bright enough to catch this crap!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

2. No Kidding...
I think those who are left supporting B*Sh are delusional or stupid. Regardless, every one of them should get their heads checked.

3. Well, the florist never delivered the rose petals and daisies.
It's a "supply-side" failure again. :eyes: :shrug:

4. Actually, there's no evidence they have started planning yet.

Just more of the same "warmed over stew."

5. This is the worse part
quote....The Pentagon confirms that at least 40,000 of the 130,000 U.S. troops in Iraq don't have basic Kevlar Interceptor vests or the ceramic plates needed for full protection.

end quote.......12/03!
quote......
Soldiers headed for Iraq are still buying their own body armor — and in many cases, their families are buying it for them — despite assurances from the military that the gear will be in hand before they're in harm's way.
end quote.......3/04
quote......
Two weeks ago, a group of Army reservists in Iraq refused a direct order to go on a dangerous operation to re-supply another unit with jet fuel.

Without helicopter gunships to escort them over a treacherous stretch of highway, and lacking armored vehicles, soldiers from the 343rd Quartermaster Company called it a suicide mission. end quote 10/04

quote.....
Shortages have cropped up in Iraq, such as a lack of protective armor for troops' bodies and vehicles. Troops also faced shortages of spare parts such as truck tires, and weapons such as machine guns, according to a series of GAO reports.

end quote........11/05

Support the troops....what a crock of Bushit!

7. What do you mean? They have not started planning yet.
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 08:10 PM by rfrrfrrfr
Have you read the plan they put out. Its like it was written by a 5 year old. Nothing more than a bullet pointed rehash of the past 3 years of talking points.

8. They didn't
There was a plan written for them by the military. It had lots of bad news in it. They simple ignored it, fired those who wrote it and have been winging it. The thing I can't understand is why average Joe Republican fiscal conservative isn't gagging on the never ending cost of this totally mismanaged war. These people will bore you to death about one wealth fare cheat that got an extra 100 $ check.

9. Because they're stupid and arrogant.
Anybody could have known that they would need an actual plan. Anybody but them. And the irony is, their new "plan" is exactly the same thing they were doing before.
