All they have left to talk about, are two things:

Churchillian platitudes (from a group of people whose collective personal character is lower and more disfunctional than any District of Columbia pimp or drug dealer) and, of course (for the blogging “base”; Bill Clinton’s ever-handy dick.

We do have historical parallels.

If we view the outcome of a divided Iraq as inevitable as was the re-nationalization after the breakup of the USSR, then Iraq is a natural process that we accelerated. It is not our job to FIX, but rather to work with the UN, NATO, Iran . . . Greenpeace – whomever – to allow for an orderly transition to a Kurd, Shia and ?Sunni states.

What pathetic, twisted spin.

I don’t speak for any other Greenpeace volunteer, but the historical parallels I find here are with the Nuremberg Trials (for war crimes) and the Nuremberg Rallies (for war propaganda).

The Iraq war is a massive human rights crime against the civilian population.

Hundreds of thousands are dead; millions displaced.

The puerile geo-babble above fails to recognize this crime.

Bush “accelerated” Iraqi political development like the SS “facilitated” Jewish mobility.

Baghdad is the largest Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish city in Iraq. Partition would likely lead to a regional conflict with Turkey and Iran intervening in Kurdistan, Iran supporting Iraqi Shi’ites, and Saudi Arabia and other Sunni states supporting Iraqi Sunnis. Partition would also imply a non-viable Sunni area in central Iraq with oil regions under Kurdish and Shia control.</p> Partition is not practical.

The primary concern is loss of life. Not loss of face.

For “reasoning” folks, I agree.

For Repugs, it’s their face…and your life.

Wanna bet which one they’re more concerned about losing?
