"there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has Weapons of Mass Destruction." D!ck Cheney, August 26, 2002. Now ask yourself if you are ready to believe and accept the leadership of someone THIS wrong in the past. Sieg Heil Bush

We the PEOPLE had better make it clear and I mean CRISTAL Clear to these Fascist that WE do not BELIEVE them anymore and that WE were LIED too. They just continue with the Dog and Pony Show that is Costing us our Future. How, I ask you, do we come up with the needed money to research and develope new energy sources, independent of these holy wars? How do we as a People justify taking away from our OWN people needed services so we can continue to chase the fascist dream of invading and occupying another nation. We AREN''T there to free these people to govern themselves and it''s time we stopped that LIE right now. We ARE there to dictate to these people, to tell them at the point of a gun who they will get along with, who they will allow to govern and how that will be done. What''s the chances we will EVER be able to do that without committing our most important resource for EVER? Keep in mind now that these people have been at war for nearly 2000 years.

So, is this a good enough example for those pro-war people to finally "get it"? U.S. presence in Iraq is the CAUSE of the violence. If the U.S. left, the violence would erupt possibly for a short while, but would end as the Iraqis formed their own country. This myth that everything would collapse if we left is absurd. It already has collapsed. Just ask any Iraqi on the street in Baghdad. A vast majority of Iraqis want us out. And for good reason.

what happened?

i canot get the comments to load at all.

did my calling the ones saying they had aQ on the run idiots get them removed?

well they are idiots!

cheney''s same old line doesn''t play very well any more.

i hope you and bush read the comments here at cbs news because i''d like to ask you how you both feel about your legacy as president and vice president?

to me you have been the worst our nation has ever had.
you''ve drained the treasury with giveaways of what surpluses we had.
got us in 2 unnecessary wars
killed 4,000 american soldiers
countless iraqi citizens
brought pain and suffering to people who didn''t deserve it all in the name of what?

you''ve raked billions from the war for haliburton and black whatever it''s name is and what do the american public get?

untold years trying to undo your damage.
so
congratulations bush and cheney (and their mini-clone mccain) you''ve done a great job!

[brianbwb-2009]

So You don''t want to let me in on this one? That''s OK, I''ll post blid.

*** is McCain doing trying to act like he has already been elected?

I smell another fake "terrorist" attack coming, timed about two or three weeks before the election. It is the only thing that might scare the neocon suckers into voting for war mongers again.

[kissamaarse]

Stupid little war-mongering neo-cons.

[snbd1213]

BUT YOU CAN BET THAT CHENEY AND MCCAIN WERE SO WELL GUARDED, THAT THEY WERE NO WHERE NEAR THE BOMBING. I WISH THEY COULD BE SOMEPLACE NEAR THOSE ATTACKS JUST TO FEEL HOW IT WAS. MAYBE THEN THEY WOULD CONCLUDE THAT WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE AND LET THEM TAKE OVER THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT.

[tawpdawg1]

ol'' deadeye will personally blow the face offa any terrrrrrorists he sees.

[brianbwb-2009]

Should have been 45.

Did the deaths of 3000 people at the world trade towers satisfy Obama and his church for their justice? Do they have any other plans on their agenda for white America to get what they deserve?

GOD D-A-M-N WHITE AMERICA

OPRAH was the sales lady!

Mr. Dumb says %u201CI cannot believe this!%u201D
Is it you cannot believe this or you will not believe this!

[apprxam]

Does Cheney have a gun and vest? I bet he''s protected with the right supplies, a working bullet proof-vest and guns that don''t jam.

[alphaa10-2009]

Remember the GOP bozos who liked to rush to judgment that "The Surge is working"? Well, after a fashion. Sure, if you place the equivalent of two full army divisions (in addition to all the regular American and Iraqi troops) to baby-sit Baghdad, you expect some things to change. The question? How much change, and for how long?

First, how much change? March 08 is barely halfway over, and the toll of Iraqi civilians may reach 800 or more. Granted, that is roughly half the monthly number pre-September 07, but still a very worrisome prospect, considering it occurs when maximum military security is present, and still cannot reduce the carnage more than this.

Second, for how long? McCain promises even a century of such close attention, but only fanatics believe the Bush dream of indefinite American presence for the new, $1 billion-plus American embassy and ten superbases-- all to protect Bush''s Big Oil buddies, drooling over the Iraqi oil fields.

Ask yourselves this:

If we win in Iraq, what do we win?
If we lose in Iraq, what do we lose?

This civil/cultural/ethnic/religious "war", one created by the U.S., is a monster and getting bigger.
Almost 4,000 young Americans dead, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children dead. $2.4+ billions of dollars a week in "war" costs.

And, after all that, the Iraqi''s still do not have potable water and almost no electricty, and few hospitals.

Might it be that the Iraqi''s leaders, unable to stop the warring factions, might just prefer it to continue as they all receive a lot of money from the U.S. (Where is the missing palletized 1 billion dollars in cash?)

Has it stopped al Qaeda terrorists? No, they continue as strong as ever. Plus, we are alienating billions of Muslims and creating more terrorists.

I say enough. Electing McCain or Clinton will just ensure more of the same.

Yes, I want change and so, will vote for Obama.

McSame slithers off to the Green Zone with his new daddy, Cheney. Totally unelectable.
