This from President Putin of Russia yesterday on who we are under Bush's "guiding hand":

Putin Blasts U.S. for Its Use of Force

Saturday February 10, 2007 10:16 AM


MUNICH, Germany (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin blasted the United States Saturday for the ``almost uncontained'' use of force in the world, and for encouraging other countries to acquire nuclear weapons.

Putin told a forum of the world's top security officials that ``we are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force in international relations'' and that ``one state, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way.

``This is very dangerous, nobody feels secure anymore because nobody can hide behind international law,'' Putin told the gathering.

We should all feel proud that we are now viewed as warmongerers around the world..........

You can NOT defeat Terrorist with a bigger bomb people you must defeat HATE.

What I find to be a constant in those that support Bush is the hatred they themselves demonstrate. They seethe about Muslims. They hurl insults at news organizations for reporting the truth. They disrespect posters who express a differing viewpoint.

They apparently feel that hatred can be defeated with more hatred. Pity......

So what you want is a daily, rosy report of lies telling America how well this disaster is going, is that it?

Kind of a "don't confuse us with the facts" approach?

"We liberated them from tyranny but we can't liberate them from prejudices," he said.


Precisely why this boondoggle was doomed from the start and why no amount of money or warriors will change anything, plain and simple.

The Sunnis and Shias both feel that they are the owners of the truth, as far as Islam is concerned, and convincing them to think otherwise is an impossibility.

There's about as much of a chance of that happeneing as there is that singingrick will convert to Islam......

What's hopeless is the constant 99% negative reporting by our corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack.

Well now lets see, IF this "wolfpack" had not been screaming their heads off, we'd still be hearing "Stay the Course" wouldn't we? You pathetic LOSERS aren't happy with just getting a good Whoopin... NO! You want to take the entire nation down because YOU hate "liberal's". LOL What part of WE the People do you NOT understand? LOL I guess it's okay to try and "Give" other people a Government "By the People"... you just do not want to "Give" that Government to your Neighbor huh? LMAO The "enemy" is in ANOTHER Country and this WAR is a LIE started by and Incompetent LOSER. Now IF you'd have been listening to REAL news from your neighbors and fellow citizens you'd know that wouldn't you? Sieg Heil!!

IF we go back to what this nation stood for in the 200 years plus before Sir Lies-A-Lot, we will suffer. That's what the Reich is telling us. We sold our souls to the FASCIST view of things, the Southern Fascist way of conducting oursleves with our friends and neighbors and it has been by any estimation the WORST blunder in this nations history, bar NONE. But, we are told, to pull back and show some HONOR toward friends who have been there through our history and simply say we picked the WRONG leader, would distroy the country. Bush was VERY wrong in what he did, HE humiliated our friends and acted like a Bully and it's time to admit we made a mistake. That's what AMERICA would have done in the days of FDR or John Kennedy. You can NOT defeat Terrorist with a bigger bomb people you must defeat HATE. By the same token asking people who's history is that of being Terrorist, to address our situation in the world is not going to work. We need to turn to people who have been in the trenches against extremist like the KKK for guidence... the problem is that those people are the sworn enemy of those who have been lying to us for over 6 years now. The choice is ours to make.

General you need to deliever THIS message to Sir Lies-A-Lot and those that HE leads!! When you MAJOR support in a Nation still to this day blame their neighbors and fellow citizens for the failures that Sir Lies-A-Lot and he alone is responsible for, that shows a long held and bitter prejudice against those who have CONSISTENTLY stood for freedom and the rights of ALL people. Sieg Heil!!

This is the fundamental truth that the neocons ignored. These tribesmen have been fighting one another for fifteen hundred years. There is no 'National identy' in Iraq, only tribal. The different factions don't rely on borders. They are, each of them, spread throughout several countries. It is to be expected that tribesmen in Iran, Syria and other neighboring lands would want to fight alongside their 'brothers'. Our armed forces are beating a dead horse here, we cannot win this. What we can do, and appear to be in the process of doing, is expand this thing throughout the middle east. We need to get out of there as quickly as possible and let them fight this out. Our presence there is inflamatory.

How many American's will have to die? That's the ONLY issue WE the PEOPLE should be concerned with right now. Saving face for Bush and his "Administration" should NOT be in our thought pattern. The "Mission" here has been and continues to be one of saving face for a VERY INCOMPETENT President who has used the American Military Might to enforce HIS policy... a policy that has failed and failed VERY badly. Now it looks to me like we have two choices here. To continue to follow a leader who just a FEW short months ago was telling ALL of us that we were WINNING in Iraq or we do something different... we follow people who have been right about this mess from day one. Those of you who wish to drink the kool aid may line up on the right... as for me? I support the American, my neighbor and friends. I do not want to see ONE more drop of blood shed for this evil piece of Nazi Trash. How much egg he has on his face when it's over matters not to me. Combat Vet, USMC, RVN, 1968
