		<description>Merlin &gt; The BIG OIL companies are now one giant cartel conglomerate. The OIL CEOs seem to be the prime players behind the scenes manipulating the Bush Regime in Iraq.

&lt;em&gt;Zooey &gt; in September the huge new American fortress Embassy opens, so &lt;strong&gt;Bush has to admit the damn thing was built to last for 50 years&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Well noted Jay!&lt;/strong&gt;

Little by little these neocon bastards reveal their plan in their own words. The PNAC neocons stated it might take a generation to set PLAN A in place. Now the actual timetable is revealed as one lasting 50 years.

This is not about oil, folks. This is about EMPIRE. Oil is the &quot;means&quot; to control the progress of the whole world. The neocon philosophy comes from Machiavelli. &quot;The Ends Justifies the Means.&quot; The &quot;ENDS&quot; is Empire, the MEANS is the oil.

We need to talk about &lt;strong&gt;who is REALLY running the show here.&lt;/strong&gt;

*Is it Cheney/Bush and the neocons?
*The oil companies banded together as an energy consortium? *A group of &quot;extremely rich&quot; people?
*A group of the &quot;extremely powerful&quot; behind the scenes people?
*Secretive groups like the Tri-Lateral Commission and the Bildebergers?

By now, there should be no doubt that this neocon/PNAC invasion is way bigger than IRAQ. This needs to be looked into.

&lt;strong&gt;What do you all think?&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>The president should listen to the American people and set a deadline to withdraw all combat forces out of Iraq. A clear majority of 60 percent of Americans favor a deadline to get out of Iraq. Staying in Iraq for 50 years is a bad idea as it would strain our military even further than it already has. The administration regularly tries to compare the Iraqi civil war with other wars in our history to perhaps legitimize our presence there. There have been comparisons to WWII. 

The Iraq war stands apart from other wars because we have placed our men and women in the middle of a civil war that we can&#039;t win much like the guerrilla war we placed our soldiers in, in the Vietnam War. Our presence continues to fuel the insurgency in Iraq which Vice President Cheney said was in its &quot;last throes.&quot; He was wrong. The president must set a date to get our troops out in one year. 

He must also push for enforceable benchmarks that the Iraqis must meet. We can no longer baby-sit the Iraqi military indefinitely in the middle of the Shiia-Sunni civil war. The president must also push for a strong and robust effort at diplomacy in Iraq. This war can no longer be won militarily. Even Gen. Petraeus has said that. We can only resolve this conflict via diplomatic and political means.</description>

		<description>Timmy, let me tell you something about mature adults, because you donâ€™t know sh*t. Mature adults donâ€™t march in lockstep with an authoritarian leader. They donâ€™t engage in intellectual dishonesty to sell an ideology. They hold the moral high ground instead of yielding to their desires for revenge and violence. When they realize they have made a mistake, they admit it, rather than expend what little intellect they possess trying to rationalize or cover up their mistake. They donâ€™t lie about their core belief system or misrepresent who they are. They exhibit compassion but maintain strength.

Timmy, you do not possess a single one of these qualities. You are a bona fide loser.

You are showing how mature you really are.  You know nothing about me except for a few postings.  To judge somebody in such a way is childish.</description>

		<description>Timmeh!!!!


I NEVER said a LT. General couldn&#039;t be a GENERAL.

I said Bush REPLACED the Generals who told him the TRUTH about Iraq.

With &quot;yes-men&quot;.

He did the SAME to the CIA by appointing Porter Goss, who got RID of the non-Bushies.

And LIED about WMD&#039;s and short-term &quot;surge&quot;.

And EXPOSED a COVERT CIA SPY who SPECIALIZED in WMD&#039;s.


I said NOTHING about the replacement generals, except that they are SYCOPHANTS.

&lt;strong&gt;The REST has to do with MURDERER Bush being a TRAITOR to the USA.&lt;/strong&gt;

Obviously, YOU support such TRAITORS, which makes YOU one, also.

May you end up in hell with Bush and Cheney, cause that&#039;s where THEY are going....</description>

		<description>I hope every republican candidate focuses on this in every campaign speech.  I can&#039;t wait till Romney, McCain, and Rudy G. start explaining to the American people that, if they are elected, we will stay in Iraq another 50 years.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Very mature, you canâ€™t debate facts so you go to insults. 
Comment by timmy â€” June 1, 2007 @ 1:28 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Timmy, let me tell you something about mature adults, because you don&#039;t know sh*t.  Mature adults don&#039;t march in lockstep with an authoritarian leader.  They don&#039;t engage in intellectual dishonesty to sell an ideology.  They hold the moral high ground instead of yielding to their desires for revenge and violence.  When they realize they have made a mistake, they admit it, rather than expend what little intellect they possess trying to rationalize or cover up their mistake.  They don&#039;t lie about their core belief system or misrepresent who they are.  They exhibit compassion but maintain strength.

Timmy, you do not possess a single one of these qualities.  You are a bona fide loser.</description>
