For those of you unfamiliar with the "Friedman Unit", this from Wikipedia:
The Friedman, or Friedman Unit (F.U.), is a tongue-in-cheek neologism coined by blogger Atrios (Duncan Black) on May 21, 2006.[1]
A Friedman is a unit of time equal to six months in the future. The Huffington Post cited it as the "Best New Phrase" of 2006.[9]
The term is in reference to a May 16, 2006 article by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) detailing columnist Thomas Friedman's repeated use[10] of "the next six months" as the period in which, according to Friedman, "we're going to find out...whether a decent outcome is possible" in the Iraq War.

Goodbye forever.

Oh, the elite achieved their foremost war goal: the transference of those trillions GV mentioned from that eternal victim, the non-elite US taxpayer, into the pockets of the elite.
Mission Accomplished.

Errrrmmmmmm...we are still in Iraq with 50,000 combat troops (all troops in a military occupation are combat troops) and over 100,000 mercenaries.
