Isn't Democracy grand, and better than the tyranny and lukewarm "liberal" arts of war of Peace for Greed and Oil for Food supported by inhuman EU and Democratic Party Monsters?

Yeah, a wall and a border patrol will protect us. {sound of laughter} |

Oh damn wait I thought the US was the "Evil Imperialist Oppressors" | You are joking about the bolded statement, right? I mean, just this week the administration basically ignored the Iraqi president and created a whole new term to justify that disregard. We are still behaving like EIO's from anything I can see. |

President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki have agreed to set a "time horizon" for reducing U.S. forces in Iraq, despite Bush's long opposition to deadlines for troop withdrawals.
In the closest the Bush administration has come to acknowledging the need for a timeframe for U.S. troop cuts, the White House said on Friday that U.S. and Iraqi negotiators would seek "aspirational goals" for withdrawals.<snip> |

If the IRaqis want it, they will get it, and the possible bloodbath that comes with it.  |
