9 thoughts on Negotiating is for pussies

  1. For pussies. Yes, for women, negotiating, begging to be let off from another intolerable situation a non-pussy has put her in.

    You da man George! Make ’em beg. Make ’em cry, make ’em shake.

    Make me fucking gag and hope we stay safe untili 2008.

  2. And for the president of Iraq, who is meeting with Ahmadinejad and asking him for help in stablizing Iraq. While this is no doubt a sincere attempt to get Iranian assistance in stablizing Iraq, it’s also a pretty unmistakable “fuck you” to Bush.

  3. >While he cited a “truly riveting obligation to college bursars” for his children’s tuition, one administration official said that he has been frustrated with administration policy on Iraq, >

    for whatever reason, i glanced at this and read, for a microsecond, “burst into tears.” something about bursars, frustrated, and my own extrapolation, no doubt.

  4. I’m starting to doubt whether the problems with Iraq can be fixed.

    Something tells me what we’re seeing now is only the beginning.

  5. You have to talk to your enemies if you want to resolve the conflict. That doesn’t mean you have to give them anything though.

    Divide the country into three federations. Why force these people to get along?

  6. –Divide the country into three federations. Why force these people to get along? —

    Absolutely correct.

    The Sunnis, the Boers of Iraq, are too used to kicking Kurd and Shia ass and will never want to be a minority in the country, not running the show.

    The Kurds- the reverse–why should they trust the Sunni Arabs or any Arabs?

    The Shia- think that many of them will be happy enough with their own oil-rich state. The only thing that gives one pause is the connections with an aggressive Iran hell bent for nukes.

    Iraq was never a real country. Dividing it is the best long-term solution. Though the short term won’t be pretty.

  7. *Unfortunately*, dividing Iraq has the side effect of enraging the neighbours. A new Kurdistan *still cannot* withstand the destabilizing effects of Turkey, which will likely—if a post-Iraqi Kurdistan were ever to come to pass—be hell-bent on ensuring that no institution there would be anything more then medieval.
