jadipietro - You asked What do you guys smoke at the White House? and after watching then for a bit, I say crystal methamphetamine because only people with dime sized holes eaten into their brains would believe the illegal nonsense they spout.

Why should anyone believe anything you or your master says. So far, all his and your predictions have been wrong. And you didnt even mention the real reason were worried about the MidEast...OIL. I say, leave Iraq and let the Iraqis work out their own problems. If you want, you can go over there and help them sort it all out. Im sure theyd be very grateful.

Give me a break. Of course this bobble-head is going to suppor the presidents plan anything else, and hes looking for a new job. Hasnt bush, et al had enough time to secure Baghdad? 4 years isnt enough - but a few more weeks with more troops - now THAT WILL work!!!! Idoits. My cat could run a better foreign policy... Or my dead dog. Either way. Weve lost in Iraq - we lost the minute bush stood under the mission accomplished banner. Or, we lost the minute bush got into office. We have to leave Iraq with as much stability as possible, with as many Iraqi troops as possible. And we need to do it now.

BB8144: I ADDRESS THE RELIGIOUS ASPECT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THE MILITIAS AND TERRORISTS ARE FIGHTING ABOUT AND THESE ARE THE MAIN PEOPLE WHO ARE KILLING OUR TROOPS AS WELL AS MANY IRAQIS. THE ECONOMICS ARE QUITE HIDDEN FROM THE AVERAGE PERSON IN THE U.S. AND IRAQ. I KNOW I MUST PAY, OR NOT, WHATEVER THE PRICE OF GASOLINE IS AT THE TIME OF NEED. THIS IS THE ONLY CHOICE I HAVE. THE AVERAGE IRAQI HAS THE CHOICE OF JOINING OR POSSIBLY JEOPARDIZING THEIR LIFE. I PREFER MY OPTIONS.

Bushs basic problem is that after 9-11 he lied about the Saudi and Pakistan role before 9-11 in supporting terrorism. He has lied about their role after. See Complete 9-11 Timeline for evidence that Pakistan and Saudi were complicit in 9-11. Bush has dithered with Iran and North Korea. Bush has allowed China to get our stealth and night vision. The Bush family has odd links to China and Saudis. Bush allowed Muslim immigration after 2001 attacks as Clinton did after 1993 attacks. Bush is disloyal to us on legal and illegal immigration, as was Clinton. Bush lied about Islam in his religion of peace speech. Some of this we might consider tactics, but all of it has to show stupidiy and incompetence. Bush should have raised 2 million more troops after 9-11 and conquered all the lands against us, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, one after another in 2 years. Thats what he should do now. Instead, he wants to fight house to house in Baghdad with 20 thousand men to help Maliki. Bush vents so much stupidity so fast, that he destroys support for even what makes sense, our own survival.

bb8144 - That*s exactly what Im talking about. Why has the Press Corp allow Faux News to be the number one news outlet in America? Clearly someone should of had the cojones to stop this, and support Dan Rather, then support these bank robbers! Remeber, Mr. Rather was reporting the truth, used a fake document to report it, however fake the document, the story was true. Meanwhile back at the ranch....... The Press allowed this administration to report lies, using a fake document, destroyed individuals careers for trying to correct their lies, and they get a free pass. It should be this President resigning, not Dan Rather!!

What emboldens the terrorists, which is the new Republican catch phrase, are plans like this that serve our troops up on a silver platter. We are doing the terrorists in Iraq a favor by sending our troops there, thats what they want. If you walk by a yard with a chained up vicious pit bull, and you dont jump the fence and go within reach of the dog, that really bums the dog out. You would be doing the dog a favor by jumping the fence! Which is what we are doing in Iraq! Bush has said repeatedly when asked about more troops in Iraq that if the commanders wanted them, theyd get them. He can never complain about not getting funding for them, his request were always approved. His administration Rumsfelf wanted to do this with enough soldiers to fail. Why should the public believe ANYTHING he has to say about Iraq now??

Hhaha, but linda, ill keep going on you. You are sympathizing with people you dont know, and never will. THAT is a rare and beautiful quality. That aside, however, the movie I named earlier *The End of Suburbia* contends that, as a people, we have GOT to stop depending on oil entirely. It looks like we have such a strong dependancy, some would even be willing to kill for it! Does anyone else see a call to shift our social and economic contingencies to other resources? This war would have never crossed the line into reality if fossil fuels hadnt been the true underpinings. If we need it that G*Damn much, then we should SERIOUSLY be addressing what would happen if we lost it!

At the start of this invasion, we had a surge also, we went from 0 to 130,000 troops. How did that work out? Another 20k is supposed to know solve the problem?

The seminary for breeding terrorists is in Saudi Arabia. These rich terrorists then recruit their agents and proxys from impoverished countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc.America is too scared to touch Saudia lest it might antagonise the whole Islamic world because Saudia is home to Mecca and Medina, which makes it the Capital of Islam. But unless you hold the bull by its horns you cannot control it . Iran should be a natural friend of America but the Americans are as stupid as Khomeini or Ahmadinejat.

A saying, once you tell a lie, you got to stay on top of it, you must keep on chasing it, because the truth will emerge. You chase lies by constantly changing your reasons, objectives, etc. for why you said or did something. Thug Bush and his administration are in a full sprint to catch up with all of their lies that have caused the killing and maiming of so many innocent Americans and Iraqis. The Truth will bring our soldiers home..... My fellow Americans, keep the pressure on Congress to end this mess.........

OldAtlantic The war in Iraq may have some symbolic religious overtones to Bush, but the neocon ideology has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with the democratization of the world for US interestsinsane as it may be. Besides, we have our own Christian extremists to worry about. No US born Muslims took part in 9/11, but a number of US born Christians have taken part in home grown terrorismOklahoma city, family planning bombings, Waco. Dont bother with extremist Muslim hate quotes, just look at the websites of people like James Dobson, D. James Kennedy, and Jerry Falwell for hate quotes. Dont bother with quotes from the koran, there are plenty of kill the non-believer quotes in the Bible. Religious extremists of all faiths are dangerous. Most US Christians follow the ideals of the Enlightenment, but about 10 are dominionists and they believe in a Christian nation, not in a democracy, complete with Biblical law like the death penalty for unchaste women and heresy. There are about 2 million Muslims in this country and 30 million dominionists, Christian dominionists are more of a danger to our country than extremist Muslims.
