A progress report on Iraq will conclude that the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad has not met any of its targets for political, economic and other reform a U.S. official said Monday.
Why are we still in Iraq? If you are keeping score at home, here are some reason given by our big thinkers.
Al Mascitti: “Leaving Iraq will hurt the plastics industry.” (I shit you not. He holds this view.)
Mike Castle: “The chaos, destruction and mayhem we have created is really an expression of our compasion, goodness and charity to the people of Iraq.” (current pretext as of 7/7/2007)
Wingnut Chris: “Obey the President” (paraphrase)
Dick Cheney: “Go Fuck yourself.” (direct quote)
Ryan S: “We (meaning some other poor schmucks, but not me) have to fight Islam terrorlamist over there – so we don’t have to fight it/them here.” (paraphrase)
Hube: “Liberals want us to leave, so we must stay.” (paraphrase)
If I forgot any reasons currently being given for staying please let me know in the comments.
Thanks!!
