- MinuteMan5 - "Vote Republican for real change"
Your joking right? There has been enough change these past 7 plus years thanks to those foolish enough to blindly follow Bush. - Reply to this comment
- HHHMMMMM, where''''''''s the article about Suskind''''''''s sources saying they never claimed Iraq docs fabricated. Yesterday, every news network trumpeted that Forged docs were created for Iraq invasion.
Today, those sources clearly indicated that author Suskind misrepresented them.
Yellow journalism at it''''''''s best!
do you have a link to the article saying the sources said docs were not fabricated?

NBC TODAY SHOW 8/6/08. BOTH SOURCES DENY SUSKIND''S CLAIM. lOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THIS "AUTHOR". hE WRITES NOTHING BUT BUSH BASHING BOOKS. - Reply to this comment
- The problem with Iraq paying for soldiers to occupy themselves instead of the US taxpayer is that the Iraqis won''t sign a Blackwater or KBR contract. Otherwise Bush would be all for it.
But those Iraqi oil wells are a nice cash cow. Look for the Iraqis to come up with excuses to invade us in the near future. Question: Would you give your life to prevent them from bringing Bush to their courtroom? - Reply to this comment

Do you work. You post on these sites non-stop all day, every day usually on multiple sites. Either you''re getting payed to be here, pushing the GOP propaganda, or you''re a lonely man with nothing better to do but spend every moment of your life preaching the word of Bush. Where does you money come from, welfare or investments? - Reply to this comment
- "First ... (the) relative shortage of trained budgetary, procurement and other staff with the necessary technical skills as a factor limiting the Iraqi government''s ability to plan and execute its capital spending," the GAO said, adding that a second problem is the government''s weak accounting systems."
Gee, we never let that stop us. - Reply to this comment

It''s quite a stretch, you know, to blame Congress for the lack of legislative initiatives by President Bush and his Republican administration. A strong, purposeful President wouldn''t make excuses ... he''d lead!!! - Reply to this comment
- When is the Democrat Congress going to do something ? When? do they just sit there and do nothing, for the past 2 years ? They won''t drill, they won''t increase nuclear power, nothing
It is time to Vote Republican to flush out the do-nothing Democrats from Congress

- I agree with your holistic assessment, but the story and comments were about Iraq (I thought).

You''re right. I posted earlier this morning about how this story reflects the lack of planning common in the Bush administration. They never really created a mechanism to have Iraq help pay for the overthrow of Saddam through the sharing (with America) of oil revenues during the occupation. The talk of oil money helping with the war, but they appear to not have created a way to make that happen. Typical. - Reply to this comment
- Scooter lied, Cheney Lied ... hmmm do''''t you see a pattern! The repubs have lied about this whole war ... period! Shrub and Cheney should be impeached for outing an undercover agent (treason) and should be put in jail for allowing torture!

- Here''''s an idea. We''''re in the middle of a presidential election campaign ... get involved with evaluating how the Republicans have done with the past eight years ... and whether you''''re better off now. No one is obsessing ... just getting involved with discussion around who will be our next President.

- If you idiots new anything about the Islam religion you would understand that Islam and Democracy are polar opposites. In a true democracy women are equal and not forced into slavery and subservient behaviours. The Saudis are not Democratic and the only true democracy in the middle east is Israel.
IDIOT! They have no use for democracy as they are lead by a Theocracy! Their god leads their GOV and it''s actions. That is why they have been fighting among themselves for the last 2000 years ..... Idiot! - Reply to this comment
