On the other hand, Ex-lax, we could also pull this quote from the same article...

&quot;A retired police officer, who declined to be named, is quite bitter: &quot;This American talk of democracy and freedom brought nothing but disaster to our country. We believed American promises and we dreamed of a better future. Now I wish we had Saddam back so we could live in peace.&quot; 

No... wait... Ex-lax MUST be right... he found THREE good quotes and I only found one BAD one.  ***Sniff... sniff***

Wonder if Time managed to ask any of the &quot;Eight million people*... in urgent need of emergency aid; that figure includes over two million who are displaced within the country, and more than two million refugees.&quot;

*http://www.perspectives.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=150524&amp;forum_id=71

Or any of the multiple hundreds of thousands killed... oh, my bad... they&#039;re ALREADY dead.  But if they were alive, they&#039;d be so PRO-American, huh, Ex-lax?</description>

		<description>From TIME magazine, April 10, 2008:

At his supermarket in Baghdad, Samir Abdul Karim says, &quot;American troops should stay in Iraq for the time being because the country can&#039;t function on its own right now. If they leave; Iraq will fall into chaos and that would be no good for the American reputation.&quot; ...

 Osama Hazim al-Shimari, a Baghdad street merchant, says: &quot;John McCain will be better for Iraq because he&#039;s the only one who has a logical view... What do you think will happen to Iraq if America withdraws its forces? I support McCain not because he&#039;ll bring good things to Iraq, but at least what he says about withdrawing troops is honest.&quot; Kurdish legislator Bukhari Abdallah Khudur is of the same opinion because the Iraqi government is so fragile. Says Khudur: &quot;Iraqis still do not know how to rule themselves. So any quick withdrawal of American troops from Iraq will lead to a complete collapse. If the Americans leave, what is going to keep the country stable? Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Syria could all enter... That is why I support John McCain.&quot;

...

Sana Abdul Rahman, a middle school teacher, is a little more hopeful, but desperately so: &quot;Republican, Democrat, black, female; any person who comes to Iraq and makes it stable, I swear to God, I will die for him, give him a big kiss in front of millions and thank him. To the Americans, I say: Please keep your promises to us. We are very tired.&quot;

		<description>What&#039;s up with this crawl-on-knees stuff?  GWB&#039;s appropriate fate is clear: WAR CRIMES TRIALS IN THE HAGUE.

No question about it.

Why don&#039;t they ask Hadley how with 60% of Iraqis approving of attacks on US there, this is anything but a forcible occupation?

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Prime Minister, who supported the Bush Administration’s invasion of Iraq, took it upon himself at this point to privately warn Vice-President Dick Cheney that America had lost in Iraq; according to an American close to Barak, he said that Israel “had learned that there’s no way to win an occupation.” The only issue, Barak told Cheney, “was choosing the size of your humiliation.” Cheney did not respond to Barak’s assessment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I wish he had been asked about Iraq’s recent $850 million purchase of shoddy military equipment from Serbia. Apparently, even with all the money we are flushing down the Iraq rat-hole, the Iraqi army is not properly equipped so they are buying goods from Serbia without our knowledge and approval.&lt;/em&gt;

Remember the &quot;arms supplier&quot; run by a twenty-two-year-old?  The one with a masseuse for a VP, who got no-bid contracts to supply near-worthless ammo to coalition forces?

I think that&#039;s the one they&#039;re talking about.</description>

		<description>Now, the same folks who were ragging on Obama for speaking &quot;black,&quot;  are saying he speaks like an elitist.  They are literally writing McCain&#039;s campaign rhetoric for him, and it is so scattershot, so illogical, so over the top, it&#039;s clear Obama has them all, all the &lt;em&gt;real elite,&lt;/em&gt; scared shitless.  Having Torie Clark on to handicap Hillary and Obama, is like the RNC&#039;s wet dream.  There is no weak talking point that they won&#039;t bolster, no failure they won&#039;t embrace, in order to axe Obama.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Hadley on Steffi&#039;s show&lt;/em&gt;

I am sure that Little Stevie would have had something st-o-o-o-o-pid to say about this latest incident in the Iraq disaster that is GDumbya&#039;s legacy to us all.</description>
