When you're done smoking that pipe you can crawl (on your knees) and beg the U.N. to try to get back on the track that they had started before the United Snakes rushed in with all of their bombs and war machinerery and created a far worse problem then it ever was.

The U.N. was correct from the very beginning. If they are willing to find a solution to America's blunder then you ought to beg them to do what they can. Personally, if I had the say I'd leave the Americans there to stew in their own shit but I don't have the majority vote in the U.N. You can be happy for that.
Screw that and screw the UN. Neither I or anyone I know will "crawl (on your knees) and beg the U.N." for anything. The UN had done nothing, still does nothing, and will not do anything in the future. And last time I checked we pretty much are there in Iraq to "stew in their own shit" {mostly by ourselves with a smattering from the UK} which is why people like you have no say as to how we deal with it and your opinion on the issue is not really relevant.

That's great by me. I will have my wish granted. I'll need to stock up on munchies for the nightly news list of how many more Yanks won't be coming home in one piece.

Let this be a lesson to everyone .... Never, never, never, never, ever make a sensitive reply if you're in a rush and about to shut down your computer! Think it through, be sure it's complete and that it states EXACTLY what you want to say with all the loopholes plugged.

I may not win any friends (despite this addition) but what I left out of my message was thoughtless. I don't even know how to apologise sufficiently. Anyway, what I carelesly failed to say was this .....

Every dead American will be one more small step in bringing the Americans home again. We're witnessing a carbon copy of Vietnam on that point. It is when the mothers and fathers of dead American soldiers take to the streets in the thousands and DEMAND the end to U.S. involvment in Irak that a retreat will take place. But probably not before then.

Now that we actually have snowballs in hell, I need to come up with a new analogy.

How about "An apology's chance from Bush".
