5. oooh oooh oooh
i just thought of a briLLiant exit strategy for dickhead; redepLoy the 160,000 troops to aruba, where that poor white girL was disappeared (though according to the nationaL enquirer, she's aLive) so we can win two battLes at once - victory over iraq, and victory over aruba.

+3 approvaL ratings.

13. Of course the PNACons are looking to cut and run
Edited on Mon Nov-28-05 08:31 PM by pat_k
Of course the PNACons* are scrabbling to cut and run. Doing the irresponsible thing is their standard operating procedure.

They want to cut and run.

We want to face the truth and take responsibility.

Responsible people are calling for our representatives to:

1) Face the Truth: Acknowledge we are now the problem and must get out of the way.

2) Take Responsibility: Commit reparations (to be paid when they have achieved certain conditions of stability).

It's time to acknowledge we can't fix what we broke and we need to get out of the way. The Iraqis must look to the international community to help them stabilize and rebuild their country.

We can't just get out of the way. We must take responsibility for the horrible mistakes by making a commitment to pay reparations when they have established a new nation (or separate states) with some level of respect for human rights.

* PNACons (pee na cons -- you know, the PNAC fascists taking a leak on the American people)

20. You got that right.
I doubt if Reagan made one important decison. Just a stuffed shirt.

Same with Junior. Does anybody think that idiot is running the country?? :rofl:

They are simply actors given lines by the corporate elite.

Reagan obviously did a better job than Bu$h.
