You can't just select a country with a ton of oilfields, claim that they are an enemy that may possibly attack one day anyway and go in and take their country and seize their wealth for yourself. It is against the Geneva Convention and is exactly the same rationale Hitler used when he seized the diamond mines in the Rhineland from France. It is illegal.

The problem with the Republicans and Democrats who support this illegal war in Iraq is that you can not get them to say how many Americans must die before they realize that this mistake should go no farther. Do we need 50,000 American dead, like what happened in Korea and Vietnam? Are they really just waiting for 40,000+ more dead Americans? Can't we just say, hey this is going bad! You know what, the Prez W misled all of America by lying about the true underlying causes of the Iraq war! And yes, Iraq did NOT attack the USA, nor did it help Al Qaeda, nor did it have any WMD. Accordingly, our part in Iraq is totally Illegal. And accordingly, all of our White House Admin and Defense Dept officials (especially the Generals) should be prosecuted by International Tribunals for the War Crimes that they continue to commit.

Another day of no violence in Baghdad. The troop build up is working. Yet the LIBS, the party of DEFEAT, won't acknowledge any progress. All you LIB posters need to wake up to the possibilty of U.S. military success in Iraq. Good work U.S. military. Support the troops by supporting the mission!

"The American People are not stupid!"

Well, no Bluestardad, they are stupid. Hence GWB getting two terms as president. I can almost forgive the first term because who knew that GWB would be this monumentally horrible. But the second term, well, fool me once and all that.

To ALL you Republican W4 Iraq War Lovers being paid by Rove probably to publish his cockroach *** on here. Yes being paid to go through the INTERNET for articles, the press to publish editorials in papers call in radio media you rotten pastie faced Rovian Young Turks.I am not buying it and trust me I know Roves tactics from the Committee to Reelect the President in 1972.He will stoop to anything.Ask someone who lived through that(Watergate era) who ole Rover's former boss was a player.Maybe ask John Dean? who knows about that one.I suspect that's all ya'll do is go through press articles,the net,to and call Rush Bimbas E.D.Limba, call in show over and over again masturbating him with Republican accolades,yet another turk probably on the Republican payroll.
Hop on over to the recruiters office and enlist take the rest of you pals with ya.Surge on!. Ya don't even have to do desert warfare training anymore so they can get you in the game quick.Check out Joe Bidon's comments on W's War, from the Senate.Then go bleed blood for the war you so dearly believe in.Report back to us the Mission.Take Mitch McConnell,Lindsey Graham and Rove with ya to Cover Your Back.Yeah go join and after your 3rd tour or so come back and tell us all how Iraqi Freedom is all working.Or better yet go over to Walter Reed and some first hand information,

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

The American People are not stupid! We know that if the Democratic Majority does not approve the Iraq War Supplemental Budget Requested by President Bush for the War the War Stops!

IMMEDIATELY No matter who they are, Democrats in positions of Leadership, from the County Leadership to the Leadership of the Congress that do not execute the will of the people, must be removed from their Leadership Positions and replaced with someone that will effectively execute the office in which they are trusted.

CONGRESS FIDDLES WHILE IRAQ BURNS AND BUSH RUNS AMOK!

Write your Representatives and Senators! SHOW THEM YOUR DISDAIN OF THEIR COWARDOUS ACTIONS WHILE OUR TROOPS ARE BEING KILLED AND OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE BEING TRAMPLED ON BY THIS CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION! http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/
