Nick, I think you know me well enough by now to know I post two types of statements: serious ones and ones just to piss others off for a reaction. Some can't distinguish between the two and I usually plan it that way. It's more fun to watch the fireworks that way. I'm going to give you a heads up here and tell you my following is a serious statement.
The above statement is one of the most ridiculous statements you have ever made. I don't mean that as an insult, just a fact. I have respect for you and your viewpoints, but that statement is just backward-thinking.
Who in the sam hell do we "negotiate" with? Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? Osama bin Laden? Who in the heck is the "Iraqi Resistance?" Is it one group or several? Are they coordinated with each other or are they "lone guns" out to grab whatever they can get?
What happens, say, if we take the largest resistance group, and the others don't like it? They are going to keep on fighting. Damn right they are. I don't think al-Qaeda is going to like a negotion process too much. Agree or not, Saddam harbored terrorists before the war, including al-Qaeda members. Whether you agree with that or not, they are there in force right now and wouldn't take too kindly to an armistice with US forces.
The entire goal of the elections is to give Iraq back to the Iraqis. I think MOST Iraqis realize that. They are a proud people and want this more than anything. Lets hope this happens as soon as possible so the guys and girls can eventually start coming home.
And then you have idiots in the UN like that Kofi Annan. Wanting to delay the elections. Fuck that. It's time to get the show on the road. It's vital to show the Iraqi people one way or the other that we never mean to camp out in their country like some morons have suggested.
