13 Nov 2006: "Speaking before news of the attack in Basra, the SNP leader, Alex Salmond, said: "Those who are responsible for this blood-soaked quagmire now have the duty to tell us how they propose to remove our soldiers from this morass."

And the reason that we will not impeach the imperialistic idiots who caused all this: They are not idiots.

Themselves have done very well, and – though they did not have the power to steal this election – themselves still truly have the power in this country and in the world.

Still, we must resist when we can, and this last election did slow themselves down a bit.

That was the quagmire, therein laid Vietnam as far as we were concerned, because we would still be there.

WARE: Having encouraged the Iraqis to rise up, the Americans went home.
