Captian, the re-election of Liebermand was Karl Rove’s last success in any election. It’s over for traitor Rover.

The proposal is also known as the “80 per cent solution” since the Sunnis, who ruled the country under Saddam Hussein, comprise just 20 per cent of Iraq’s 26 million population. It has been put forward as part of a crash White House review of Iraq strategy. Its backers claim that ambitious attempts to woo anti-US Sunni insurgents have failed, and now risk alienating Shia leaders as well, leaving the US without strong political allies in Iraq.

The Sunnis make up between 35% and 40% of Iraq’s population. They may *perhaps* make up only 20% IF the Kurdish population is excluded (the Kurds, one should note, are also Muslims, and largely Sunni Muslim–not Shi’a). From LexicOrient.com’s article on Iraq’s people and religion:
Islam: 23,000,000 (Shi’i 14,000,000; Sunni 9,000,000)
Christianity: 1,300,000
Other:

As per the article posted by Barfly (#30), we all should have seen this coming for awhile. And no matter what the Saudis say, it’s not the protection of their fellow Sunnis that they ‘d either directly or indirectly get embroiled in that war for. It’s for the protection of their oil, which gives them power. (Remember the U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War in 1991?) And it’s interesting that the only middle-eastern country that the U.S. has not been aligned with is the ONE country that wants to have regional power…Iran. And regional power, in that oil-rich part of the world, means one thing. Economic dominance. And the end of the American Empire. Frankly, my real fear is not a regional war, which I think could be limited and would burn itself out after a few years…but China and Russia coming in on Iran’s side. Europe would then come in to protect their own interests as well…not sure who they would ultimately align with. Wouldn’t guarantee that it would be with the U.S. So, anyway, I’m talking about another world war, and perhaps the end game, considering the nuclear weapons that are available to so many countries now.

The Armegeddon that so many far-right Christians are rabidly excited about right now could well happen. But for those same people, I would like to remind you that Christ told us to “love our enemies as we love ourselves,” and to “turn the other cheek.” Your belief in the Rapture (based on one statement from Paul about “being transformed in the twinkling of an eye”) could apply just as well to those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki who were vaporized by the atom bombs that were dropped in their cities. You people missed Christ’s main message: Blessed are the peace makers and that the meek (enduring injury with patience and without resentment; not violent) would inherit the earth.

This is just precious…what a specious line of crap. We had more than enough troops in Iraq, enough to insure that every single piece of infrastructure was destroyed, down to the toolbox at the local garage. The US never once intended to subdue Iraq…it was “destabilization” from the strart, and it ain’t over yet. If you don’t get that, then ask yourself what Death Squad Negro-ponte was doing in Iraq.

In fact, a “fierce antiwar critic” of Lieberman, a brave man named John Orman, has taken steps to take over the party that was created for Joe’s campaign, “Connecticut for Lieberman”.

Orman ‘went to the town hall in his home town of Trumbull last month and changed his voter registration from Democrat to Connecticut For Lieberman. Since the party had no other registered members — the senator himself has always been a registered Democrat — Orman promptly returned home to vote himself party chairman. His first act in office, unsurprisingly, was to issue a blistering news release denouncing Lieberman for “turning his back on our party” — and for rejoining the Senate Democratic Caucus “even though he was not the nominee from the Democratic Party.”’

The only person I know that voted for Joe is a woman in her late 60’s in poor health who wouldn’t do us much good in Iraq. She was worried that Lamont was a one issue (anti-war) candidate, which is how all that Republican money portrayed him.

The neocons and all their children, nieces and nephews and grandchildren should set an example and volunteer for duty in the U.S. Army. Rush Limbaugh can lead the brigrade with Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter bringing up the rear.

Why are the people who are for ’staying the course’ all CHICKENHAWKS? They want you and your children to fight, but they themselves seem to find ‘other priorities’.

It’s all about McCain wanting to be president and Liiberman sucking up to him in hopes of riding in on maverick coattails.

Joe is the Ultimate Bipartisan. If this all works out, he’ll have been a VP candidate for both major parties.

there problem is in a system in which the voters are forced to hold their nose and vote for the least worst of only 2 choices or not participate, the victor is allowed by the media, by conventional wisdom, etc. to interpret their win as an endorsement. In reality it is nothing of the sort. The win almost always means only that the voters hated the opponent more than they hated the pol they voted for. Pretty F’d-up.
