		<description>The breaking news yesterday that Bush is advising Hillary re the war on terror should come as no surprise - Hillary&#039;s William Krystol&#039;s gal

Watch the logic:
Neocon-antichrist William Krystol has already given Hillary his blessing. Hillary has promised AIPAC in her speeches to that group that she will use military force against Iran. That&#039;s all Krystol needs - Hillary&#039;s his gal

Thus: Bush and then Hillary give Iran the old one-two death punch. Krystol blessed this satanic pact and so Bush might even achieve orgasm with Hillary in the neocon warparty orgy

This is the neocon war party having bought out the Republicans (except the Paleos), the Democrats (except rascals like Kucinich), and &#039;Independents&#039; (like the warmonger Lieberman)

Free Palestine and Free America from the Neocons - WE&#039;RE GOING IN TO IRAN

At what point would a military commander have the duty to disobey an order from Bush? If someone had given me an order to nuke an Iranian base under the current circumstances way back when and I knew what I know now - I WOULDN&#039;T F***ING DO IT
At what point should the military disobey this war criminal and just come on home and arrest his ass along with the Senate and House?
At what point will our MILITARY save us if our President, Sentate, and House has become, thru their cowardice as Americans, sold out to Israel, AIPAC, AEI, and the Neocons Lieberman and Lantos?

It&#039;s time for a revolution - there will be less casualties than if we assault Iran</description>

		<description>Listening to all the GOPerv talking points about the Iranian situation, it was a very eerie mirror of what happened in the lead up to the Iraq Quagmire.

1) The country is a threat to its neighbors

2) Ran by a cruel and oppressive dictatorship

3) They have all our oil under their country (ok so maybe I fibbed on this one)

4) and of course to seal the deal, THEY HAVE WMD PROGRAMS!!

Before the Iraq war President Cheney sends George to the UN to somewhat talk about the issue.  Next all we need is someone who is willing to sacrifice their credibility and address the Security Council and hold up a vial of some mystery powder and attempt to sucker the world into following us in to another colossal blunder.

People should make no mistake that Iran is NOT Iraq.  Iran is far more sophisticated, educated, &quot;civilized&quot; and armed than what the MSM or our government would like to let us realize.  The consequences of our actions, should be engage in war, would be a disaster.  Im appalled that knowing now, what this administration and its warmongering allies did to get us into Iraq, that Congress and the press are blindly being led to something much much worse.

God, America, I beg you, please....WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!</description>

		<description>One thing for certain Senator Lieberman&#039;s intents are malicious, his carefuly crafted Amendment puts the senator in a bind. Senator are going to have a very hard time with this amendment as the Israel Lobby will be out in force to make sure that it passes. Senators who do not vote for the Amendment will be punished.

		<description>Webb is a totally inconsistent idiot.  Earlier this summer he (along with an overwhelming majority of the senate including the lefties&#039; darling Feingold) voted for a Lieberman ammendment condemning Iran for engaging in killing our troops in Iraq. He totally mischaracterizes the Kyle-Lieberman ammendment which puts Iran on notice that our patience is limited. It in fact offers Iran a graceful way out of military confrontation.  Voting against this ammendment would only encourage Iran to escalate its provocations and increase the likelihood of an all-out nuclear war against Iran by either Israel or the US.</description>

		<description>&quot;Why didnâ€™t we fix the roads when we had record revenues in the â€™90s and no war? Iâ€™ll tell you why. Because fixing roads isnâ€™t glamorous enough for the politicians.&quot;  

Comment by Cynicon Implant 

Who had control of the House and Senate during those years?  Who thought it more important to chase ten year-old land deals?  Who ginned up an investigation about said land deals into impeachment for lying about a consensual affair between two adults?  Yeah, congress had much more &quot;glamorous&quot; things to deal with during those years.</description>

		<description>Since many people inquired, under Senate Rule XIV, when a Senator
demands two readings and there is objection to the measureâ€™s second reading, the measure is placed directly on the Calendar of Business without reference to committee.

Clearly the repubs have found that these &quot;Sense of the Senate&quot; measures are a clever way to get around committee.

If only they focused this energy on serving our country instead of working tirelessly to make the other party look bad.</description>

		<description>Since it seems that the MSM is more interested in putting words in the mouth of the president of a country that we are trying to fabricate reasons to attack than in allowing him to speak ,I thought it apprtopriate to present what this supposed hate monger had to say at Columbia himself .
  MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD: [translated] Why don&#039;t we encourage more research on a historical event that has become the root, the cause, of many heavy catastrophes in the region in this time and age? Why shouldn&#039;t there be more research about the root causes? That was my first question. 

And my second question: well, given this historical event, if it is a reality, we need to still question whether the Palestinian people should be paying for it or not. After all, it happened in Europe. The Palestinian people had no role to play in it. So why is it that the Palestinian people are paying the price of an event they had nothing to do with? 

The Palestinian people didn&#039;t commit any crime. They had no role to play in the World War II. They were living with the Jewish communities and the Christian communities in peace at the time. They didn&#039;t have any problems. And today, too, Jews, Christians and Muslims live in brotherhood all over the world in many parts of the world. They don&#039;t have any serious problems. 

But why is it that the Palestinians should pay a price, innocent Palestinians, for five million people to remain displaced or refugees abroad for sixty years? Or is this not a crime? Is asking about these crimes a crime in and by itself? Why should an academic, myself, face insults when asking questions like this? Is this what you call freedom and upholding the freedom of thought? &quot;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since it seems that the MSM is more interested in putting words in the mouth of the president of a country that we are trying to fabricate reasons to attack than in allowing him to speak ,I thought it apprtopriate to present what this supposed hate monger had to say at Columbia himself .<br />
  MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD: [translated] Why don&#8217;t we encourage more research on a historical event that has become the root, the cause, of many heavy catastrophes in the region in this time and age? Why shouldn&#8217;t there be more research about the root causes? That was my first question. </p>

		<description>Thatâ€™s easily the most intelligent comment youâ€™ve ever made.

And youâ€™re absolutely right.

Comment by gummitch

Thanks â€” I think

Comment by Cynicon Implant

&lt;em&gt;I agree. For example, as a Minnesotan, we now have nearly 200 bridges found to inadequate or downright dangerous.
The good news? &lt;/em&gt;See above&lt;em&gt;
The bad news? &lt;/em&gt;Our Governor, whom I call &#039;mini-bush&#039; (Tim Pawlenty), turned down the 80-20 match for Federal DOT funds more than once. Ergo, no infrastructure improvements / replacements. Of course, the Gov can claim fiscal responsibility over welfare of the people, but that argument is now a strawman.
In fact, a 1 day special session for State legislators was just held, but on the condition that the I-35W bridge could not be addressed.

The kicker?&lt;em&gt; If Bush vetoes the bill, all Federal dollars for the bridge will be gone. 

Our new State motto: &lt;/em&gt;&#039;Living with less in the land of Pawlenty&#039;</description>

And now you LOVE the French??!!? Too funny!
Comment by impeachcheneythenbush â€” September 25, 2007 @ 2:30 pm

Oh, there is plenty of hypocrisy to go around.   Yeah, I like the new French government and disliked the old one.  I&#039;ll bet most Libs thought Chirac was great and Sarkozy is a poodle.  Heck, time was Libs were howling to get Joe Lieberman one hearbeat from the presidency - now he is anathema.  

Did Libs rise up in outrage when Clinton bombed Iraq or signed the resolution calling for Saddam&#039;s ouster?  Was it about Oil then too?  (I supported Clinton on both Iraq and Serbia).

On the one hand, it is good to be consistent.  On the other hand, it is possible to change your view when new info comes with the passage of time.</description>

		<description>Cynicon, you are correct.  The infrastructure will become more and more of a problem and when it does become politically expedient to do something about it there will be billions upon billions of dollars lost in Iraq from which the infrastructure problems cannot draw from.  Probably have to increase taxes to fix the problems.</description>
