I get so tired of hearing The Stupidity
Defense over and over again.

"We're not evil, we're just stupid."

The other one that I get tired of hearing is the "I've suffered enough" defense. "Oh, I'm so sorry I did it, but I've suffered enough by getting caught and I shouldn't have to pay more than that for my crime."

"That's what the islamos don't want - a strong, determined leader with a clear direction that will not be swayed by polls and the liberal media."

Fact: "W" has made Iraq a "cause celeb" and has been a bonanza for recruiting terrorists. He's exactly what they want.

I wonder if they said this BEFORE they knew Iran was involved in the war also ? I thought it very odd that Iraqi people would continuously kill their own children in their own country ! Now we KNOW it is more than that, that it is IRAN involved in this war, its obvious when the weapons and arms found are made in Iran.
Now we know why Bush has ships over there !!!
Iran is not smart to create nuclear plants or weapons, it is dangerous to the people, just like our government has been dangerous to us by allowing them in America.

With the Misunderestimatin' President at the wheel, what else could happen in Iraq and elsewhere. Bu$h thinks everyone else in the world "Tawks funny, dresses wierd and worships the wrong gawd."
And then, shiiteforbrains fires the generals who could have made a difference.
It's all lies anyway, folks.
From start to finish, history will prove how wrong this administration was on all counts.

Islam is the problem and will always be the problem. Show me where on the map that it is observed closely and creates a free nation. You can't because it is a religion of violence and oppression. Aren't the little boys so cute with their swords slicing their heads open on Ashura? Ah, the peaceful religion of Islam - it brings such comfort. Not.

There isn't much Bush hasn't misjudged!!!! I don't have any faith left in the man to make a good sound rational decision regarding this country! I think there is a 5 year old child walking around in the body of a man! He doesn't have a gram of good common sense or he would have never invaded Iraq! Anyone familiar with the region knew he would be unleashing all kinds of trouble! When you have religious fanatic's involved Guerilla warfare is always a mistake!

Hillary is a like a windvane, which ever way the winds of public-opinion blow she just lines right up with it. I prefer someone who is more like a compass to lead this country. That's what the islamos don't want - a strong, determined leader with a clear direction that will not be swayed by polls and the liberal media.

HILLARY 2003: There is a very easy way to prevent anyone from being put into harm's way, that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something I've followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information, intelligence that I had available, talking with people whose opinions I trusted, tried to discount the political or other factors that I didn't believe should be in any way a part of this decision. I would love to agree with you, but I can't based on my own understanding and assessment of the situation.

HILLARY: With respect to whose responsibility it is to disarm Saddam Hussein, I just do not believe that, given the attitudes of many people in the world community today, that there would be a willingness to take on very difficult problems, were it not for the United States leadership, and I'm talking specifically about what had to be done in Bosnia and Kosovo where my husband could not get a Security Council resolution to save the Kosovar Albanians from ethnic cleansing. And we did it alone as the United States, and we had to do it alone. And so I see it somewhat differently. So forgive me for my experience and perspective.

Yet, you continue to 'misjudge'. You can't contain Afghan or Iraq. You are going to bankrupt us in Iran...
