McCain: Iraq No Longer Abyss of Defeat

Ran out of Hillary Pictures ?

Could that be because she is not a lot different than McCain?

First thing I noticed too.

Clinton's plan would offer new tax benefits for research and job development. It would also create "innovation and research clusters"

It would be fine if she were buying our votes but no one is looking at how the Clinton(both) policies of supporting these "innovation and research clusters" have been propping up Monsanto and the biotechs and bankrupting American farmers, forcing gmo foods on consumers and draining billions from taxpayers in subsidies.

If people are stunned by the devastation from the bad mortgage loans they will be floored when the biotech policy effects on the National agriculture is finally covered. The woman is a corporate soldier for the Wall Street desk jockeys and anyone who believes she's out for the little guy is sadly misinformed.

Hillary's too late with all this. She never did repudiate her husband's stabbing the American workingclass (and international workers in general) in the back by siding with the GOP against his own party on NAFTA.

Anyway...Latest polls are showing Obama closing in on Pennsylvania. If he cleans her clock there you'd think she'd be compelled to quit the race.

No I wouldn't

Sad sad sad....

The right and those who lean toward agreeing with them seem to think strength comes from a hard shell... guess what.. a hard shell is worthless if the interior has all rotted away.

Obama's policies on national security are not bad, Bush brought us to a bad place in teh world, he will bring us out of it... he also brings with him the policies to strengthen the inner core of America so we are not just an empty shell that crumbles under just a little preasure.

Bush brought us to a bad place in teh world, he will bring us out of it...

A loser and heir to a corrupt crime family bankrupted the public for the benefit of his Wall Street cohorts and stripped basic rights and freedoms in the process. He's sailing into the sunset untried for his crimes, that's a great way out!

After the past 8 years even Moe Larry & Curly would be a step up...

"Upon the king! let us our lives, our souls,
Our debts, our careful wives,
Our children and our sins lay on the king!
We must bear all. O hard condition,
Twin-born with greatness, subject to the breath
Of every fool, whose sense no more can feel
But his own wringing! What infinite heart's-ease
Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy!
And what have kings, that privates have not too,
Save ceremony, save general ceremony?
And what art thou, thou idle ceremony?
What kind of god art thou, that suffer'st more
Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
What are thy rents? what are thy comings in?
O ceremony, show me but thy worth!
What is thy soul of adoration?
Art thou aught else but place, degree and form,
Creating awe and fear in other men?
Wherein thou art less happy being fear'd
Than they in fearing."

- Henry V, Act IV, Scene 1

That is to say, I don't really know that any of us who second guess Bush could have done any better of a job. Then again, who really does know, but those who've sat in the chair in the Oval Office...?

Oh but the questions is Was the public mislead into this Iraq? If this is so than why was it that the information needed to make the right decision was considered only circumstantial at the time. For was the King truly in belief that all his horses and men would return in short order for the victory speech.

Pamela,

I totally did not type that they way I meant it. "he" should have been Barak Obama. at the time I wrote it I missed the fact that my pronoun was ambiguous.

Damn those pronouns! :~)

Jay - an open-ended military occupation of Iraq is not feasible; it would break our coffers and our military. We must disengage from Iraq. Iraqis will never settle their differences if they have a blank check for security from US taxpayers.

It's nice to think we can just pull our troops out of Iraq and that the situation will sort itself out over there.

Isn't the converse true as well? That it's nice to think we can just keep our troops in Iraq and the situation will sort itself out over there.

To call Obama naive for wanting to withdraw troops is a bit incongruous - he was the one who was right about what the consequences of invasion would be. It's John McCain who's position on Iraq is naive. The US cannot support an open-ended occupation; violence in Iraq will continue until long after US troops leave, no matter when that date is.

To call Obama naive for wanting to withdraw troops is a bit incongruous - he was the one who was right about what the consequences of invasion would be.

In fairness, there were others who said an invasion would be a quagmire, as far back as 1994. "How many dead American's is Saddam worth?" Not many changed to thousands dead, tens of thousands wounded, millions of refugees, billions of dollars for Walll Street, trillions for US taxpayers and beyond comprehension for the people of Iraq.

Being at Ramstein now, I can tell you its a big hopping point to Iraq. Though not the only purpose for being here, it's a perk.

Lajes in the Azores and Moron in Spain, those aid with NASA, all the bases in Italy/Greece are for Naval purposes.

Personally, being here, if we just up'd and left, the local economy would plummet. But that's just my perception.

Well they don't gather very often, a record setting 90 days in the last session and to go through the trillions in spending bills in that short time leaves them just busy enough to meet lobbyists too.

And I wonder would those lobbyist be sponsoring bills before Congress?
