		<description>I am amazed at how little people know about what is going on in the Middle East.  I suggest they open their Bibles and do some research - it is plain as to what is happening.

God gave us the blueprint thousands of years ago, and we are ignoring it.</description>

		<description>[...] In mid-August&#8211;no doubt in response to internal polling&#8211;Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman began an absurdly disenguous effort to convince Americans that Republicans weren&#8217;t saying we should &#8220;stay the course&#8221; in Iraq. Think Progress was all over it. Here is what Mehlman said on Meet the Press, August 13th: MR. MEHLMAN: Look, the fact is that our mission in the war in Iraq is critical. We agree on that; we agree itâ€™s wrong to cut and run. But look, weâ€™re not coming in and saying â€œStay the course.â€ The choice in this election is not between â€œStay the courseâ€ and â€œCut and run,â€ itâ€™s between â€œWin by adaptingâ€ and â€œCut and run.â€ [...]</description>

		<description>Either way, Staying the course or attempting to win by adapting is allowing the monster behind 9/11 to remain a free man. The &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; option we Americans have is to sweep this party out and force change upon this administration.

They&#8217;ve all sort have been thrown under one big cover story, that Iraq was part of the global war on terror and was part of our response to 9-11. Its incredibly sad that the official count of those that died on 9-11(2,602) is now about equal to the number of soldiers and marines that have died in Iraq( approx. 2,600), plus about 40,000 Iraqi civilians. The invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003, while the invasion of Afghanistan and the search for Osama Bin Laden began in October 2001.

		<description>Ken Mehlman is spinning &quot;stay the course&quot; to &quot;adapt and win?&quot;

If our strategy in now &quot;adapt and win,&quot; that sounds like one that is &lt;em&gt;evolving&lt;/em&gt;.

      How in the heck could anything about this horrid debacle known as Iraq ever be viewed as any kind of victory in any way shape or form?  Are you really that thick that your ignorance makes you hallucinate scenes of BIG V for victory out of the soot of murdered Iraqi citizens by the brain damaged mafioso and his criminal henchmen who are and have been hellbent on doing and saying anything they damn well please and will continue to lose on our backs (they dont stand to lose jack shit personally) all the while squeezing dipshits like you&#039;s little heads to get them to whack anyone who says I dont want to be viewed globally as a seething toturing viscious unconscionable slithering MURDERER.  230,000 people who lived within the sovereign borders of their country and for no good reason have been murdered by the united states of america.  Dont let reality get in your way while you dream of the day we can proclaim that wonderous Victory.</description>

      How in the heck could anything about this horrid debacle known as Iraq ever be viewed as any kind of victory in any way shape or form?  Are you really that thick that your ignorance makes you hallucinate scenes of BIG V for victory out of the soot of murdered Iraqi citizens by the brain damaged mafioso and his criminal henchmen who are and have been hellbent on doing and saying anything they damn well please and will continue to lose on our backs (they dont stand to lose jack shit personally) all the while squeezing dipshits like you&#8217;s little heads to get them to whack anyone who says I dont want to be viewed globally as a seething toturing viscious unconscionable slithering MURDERER.  230,000 people who lived within the sovereign borders of their country and for no good reason have been murdered by the united states of america.  Dont let reality get in your way while you dream of the day we can proclaim that wonderous Victory.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=729300', 400, 400)"></a></p>
