		<description>Hi Jimbo, welcome back.
Here&#039;s a tip. If you&#039;re using IE, go to the View Menu, click on the text size menu, then select largest.
It&#039;ll make your caps take up the whole page.
Neat.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;gummitch above nails it.

The point is to prepare the way for an overhaul of the Iraqi government and the installation of a US-friendly strongman, i.e., Allawi.

Comment by JM â€” August 24, 2007 @ 1:01 pm
&lt;/em&gt;

And if you look at Allawi&#039;s history, we will have just installed Saddam #2.  Guess the definition of despot depends on which side of the bread your oil is coming from.</description>

		<description>The original rationales for invading and occupying Iraq are very quickly being forgotten: WMDs, ties to AlQaeda, threat to its neighbors and the world, &quot;beacon of democracy&quot;, bettering Iraqis&#039; lives, etc. 

What is left, really? &quot;Fight them over there&quot;? Who will believe that claptrap anymore? 

Oh, I forgot. The cultists, that&#039;s who. My bad.</description>

		<description>â€œYouâ€™ve got a culture where democracy is not part of, &quot; - this Republican could be describing the Bush gangsters, the neo-cons and the oil-nazis currently holed up the White House.

Is Diebolding our elections with electronic vote &quot;counting&quot; by Republican corporations in secret with proprietary software &quot;part of democracy?&quot; 

And now, ta-dah, Bush and his fellow gangsters are now looking around for a &quot;strongman&quot; to run Iraq? Gee, did we come into the middle of this movie picture? Seems like Iraq was a quiet, brutal dictatorship under Saddam: the people had food, water, electricity and jobs. Then the supreme idiot Bush decided that he just had to invade a sovereign nation that posed no threat to its neighbors (Iran, Syria, Jordan or Turkey), but yet somehow posed a threat to our Royal Bunnypants President... and then turn Iraq into a total hellhole

The mind boggles with the arrogance and stupidity of the gangsters now criminally occupying our White House... Impeach, Try, Convict, Remove from Office.</description>

		<description>Actually we could merge Terry and Dave&#039;s comments into:

Invade their countries, kill their leaders, steal their oil, and kill them if they don&#039;t convert to Christianity.

Just like the crusades, with the addition of stealing their oil!</description>

I thought that was the plan for Iraq from day one.  The last step is &quot;steal their oil&quot;.</description>

		<description>Hey Pete - there&#039;s still one part of the Coulter Plan left to try: &quot;Invade their countries, kill their leaders, convert them to Christianity&quot;.
