It is assumed in this bizzare statement that we held Iraq's sovereignty in a vault somewhere and were now going to give it back to them. Even assuming that we did have their sovereignty in our vault, one has to ask how it got there in the first place. Eh? It is impossible, in my view, to give sovereignty to another country.

Now he's babbling about "doing something" about illegal immigration in the USA. All Bush would have to do would be to vigorously enforce the present federal laws against corporations hiring illegal aliens. It is mind-boggling that the Bush regime, which can read all of our Emails, which can track our internet searches and which can monitor our credit card purchase, cannot figure out which workers are American citizens or legitimate green card holders and which are illegal aliens... If the Federal government vigorously enforces the present laws against the hiring of illegal aliens, this whole problem will solve itself. We won’t have to deport a single alien. They will just buy bus tickets back home if they can’t find any legal employment in the U. S. Bush is just whoring for corporate greed, as usual.
