		<description>Well I don&#039;t know for sure who would be qualified except, it ain&#039;t Johnny Boy! I used to think he might be someone that had it together but he&#039;s so far up Dubya&#039;s Dari air I though Bush had grown a tail. He really wants that nomination so maybe some good Republican should give it to him.</description>

		<description>And thinkprogress and the rest of the lefties are happy about it.  The nazi left in the US is following their nazis leaders in Europe rooting for Hezbollah.

It should be educational for rational thinkers to observe the left and their inability to hide their hatred of Israel.    And once again, the left allies itself with the islamo-fascists.</description>

		<description>Israel in the &quot;New Middle East&quot;

America&#039;s dream is to build a &quot;New Middle East.&quot; But this time, the New Middle East will be created by an upheaval of the entire system, and not just by signing on an agreement. Should America succeed, a New Middle East will indeed emerge, demanding that Israel formulate its own strategy. 

Ultimately, the war against Hizballah must be waged by Israel and not America. Israel cannot allow Middle East wars to be fought by the Americans alone. Israel must abide by the principle that guided it during its first years of independence: Israel must defend itself by itself. 

If the majority of Americans fall for this deception, they will be happy to replace George Bush with some other Zionist puppet, in which case, nothing will improve! The Americans will be suckers again! 

The criminal Zionist network will still have control of our media, our banking system, our government, and our military. 

We must get better leaders in power. This requires investigating all of these investigators. If there is one lesson to learn from history, it is that no one deserves blind obedience.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Theyâ€™re all scared of the lobby that must not be named. (Actually Lantosâ€™ case is different. He is a holocaust survivor, and when he puts the interest of Israel above that of the United States, what he is doing in understandable.) &lt;/em&gt;

It is not understandable that Lantos put Israel ahead of the US just because he is a holocaust survivor. What you say is offensive and unpatriotic. Survivors of the Irish Famine did not put Ireland ahead of their adopted country, America. No sir, they thoroughly embraced their adopted country and in many cases fought fiercely in wars for its ideals.  Lantos is a jerk and has no loyalty to America.</description>

		<description>Juan Cole: 

&quot;The members of Congress also don&#039;t seem to realize that the Iraqi Dawa helped to form the Lebanese Hizbullah back in the early 1980s. The Dawa was in exile in Tehran, Damascus and Beirut and it formed a shadowy terror wing called, generically, Islamic Jihad. The IJ cell of the Dawa attacked the US and French embassies in Kuwait in 1983, in an operation probably directed by the Tehran branch, which was close to Khomeini.

&quot;My understanding is that Nuri al-Maliki was the bureau chief of the Dawa cell in Damascus in the 1980s. He must have been closely involved with the Iraqi Dawa in Beirut, which in turn was intimately involved in Hizbullah. I am not saying he himself did anything wrong. I don&#039;t know what he was doing in specific, other than trying to overthrow Saddam, which was heroic. But, did they really think he was going to condemn Hizbullah and take Israel&#039;s side?

&quot;And if he did, do they think that the Shiite religious parties that backed him would let him stay in office (they are the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, the Islamic Dawa, and the Sadr Movement of Muqtada al-Sadr)?

(there&#039;s more)

		<description>I called McCains office and they said that they got the quote of Maliki saying that from CNN.com 

I ask them to put that out in a press release from McCains office then to put an end to the story that McCain lied on FOX news.

I hope that he did lie and that this blows up in CNN and McCains face.</description>

		<description>PS...How can people say that Hezbolla is more dangerous than Isreal? Isreal though in a pickel and once upon a time very abused are now the bullies and it&#039;s all payback for Lebenon and Palastine useing the democratic process to elect Hezbolla and Hamas people to elected offices.....payback for being democrats...imagine that? So they (bushco) don&#039;t want democracy they want to pick and control elections there just like they do here. Criminal pigs they should all go to jail, yet the innocent die and more Lebonese are dying yet the news won&#039;t tell the truth!</description>
