Give Bush an open ended commitment on Iraq with all the money for troops he wants with 5 strings:
  1. The US will not veto any Iraqi law or election of leaders of their choice.

  2. Iraqis will be free to undo any of the economic "reforms" forced on them Bush without further coercion or fear of being killed or overthrown.

  3. All rebuilding contracts with non-Iraqis will be terminated and the money given to the Iraqis as block grants.

  4. All contracts with armed contractors will be terminated.

  5. No American oil company can sign a contract with Iraq until our troops are gone.


Other than that, Bush would be free to stay and fight the "terrist" and spread democratizin' till the cows come in.

What possible reason could he have to not sign off on that?

2. Why...why...why...that proposal of yours is simply UNAMERICAN!
Why do you hate America?

Don't you know we're over there to fight the terraists and spread democracy to the Iraqi people?

Why, this war never had anything at all to do with oil.

It was all about Saddam's involvement in supporting the terraists that attacked us on 9/11.

And his developing WMDs to attack us with later. Saddam was a bad man, a big threat to the U.S. Just look at how powerful his mighty Army was!

:sarcasm:

sent to Syria.

10. I had a devious idea about Kucinich calling oil companies to testify about high prices...
what if he asked them some questions on a different issue once he has them in the hot seat?

An issue they might have taken a sudden vacation to Paraguay to avoid testifying about?

5. 7. Haliburton should provide a detailed account of monies given to its
services since the "war" started. I mean CPA-approved accounting, nothing like Enron.

9. you could put that in a happier way: they should be required to collect their flowers & candy
in person without an armed guard, and stay until the Iraqis are satsfied they have been thanked enough.
