you've got a wager to concede. :biggrin:
Hope you're prepared to be compensated in feathers! :biggrin:
Hold on there poopiehead.............the deal was, before President Bush leave office, that things would be better over there, and troops would begin to come home...............
Now, first of all.................things ARE MUCH better over there right now............ask Nancy Pelosi.........even she had to admit that the surge worked..........
that is not even being argued right now..........the surge DID work........
Now, how do you figure I lost this bet yet? because of some lame article you found?.. ;D
I figure, come November, it will be YOU has has to belly up!!.. ;) :wink:
What exactly was the wager?

"when betray-us is found to be "inaccurate" or "overly-optomistic" in his assessment (as evidenced by delayed troop withdrawl), you change your forum title to "poopiehead"?"
Now, people help me out here..................I believe, General Petraeus has been very accurate with his mission.........that was to secure Iraq.........boom........who accomplished it very nicely....and NOW your saying that I lost?.. :confused:
c'mon now.......I, say, if November comes and things are worse now than before the Surge, and troops are NOT beginning to withdrawal..then I will stick to my end of the be... ;) :razz:
the bet was.............as stated by awol........."when Iraq gains control of their country and troops begin to come home..............you change yours to poopiehead..............deal?"
I said as follows........."as long as things are looking positive when he leaves office.............if a dem (should possibly) get in office..........and screw things up again...........then naw.........."
THAT WAS THE DEAL............ ;)
Hmmmm...........can you spell "weasel"?

That, my friend was the exact bet......those are exact quotes..............and YES, I'm kind of certain, I can spell wesill.... :yes:
Besides, the bet was to until Bush left office..........heck, we still got 10 more months............I think my opponent is getting worried that I am going to be correct........... :razz: :yes:..........and he is trying to con me into conceding now..that's what me thinks :yes:

troops coming home? bush is leaving.

troops coming home? bush is leaving.
well, the bottom line IS...the surge WORKED!!.....
Now, with THAT said.....let our forum bros and sista's decide on our bet.....
If they agree that the surge was a success....I win
If they agree that is was a complete failure...you win....
then comes the name-change to poopiehead...for a min of a week.
start a poll.
how'd that surge do?
"WASHINGTON - The United States can expect a terrorist attack using nuclear or more likely biological weapons before 2013, reports a bipartisan commission in a study being briefed Tuesday to Vice President-elect Joe Biden. It suggests the Obama administration bolster efforts to counter and prepare for germ warfare by terrorists.
"Our margin of safety is shrinking, not growing," states the report, obtained by The Associated Press. It is scheduled to be publicly released Wednesday."
