The cost of the war in Iraq is over $400 billion and counting.
Gasoline is more than $3.00 per gallon nationwide.
Home foreclosures are at an all time high?
Our nation's credibility is at an all time low.
The country's infrastructure is crumbling around us.
Yet, despite it all, neocons continue to support this Administration's continued involvement in war that can't be won. Please answer why?

Bush has had to suffer criticism before for breaking up so called terror plots. Remember the list of the top 10 terror plots the government broke up? Well, how many of the so called terrorists were actually tried for terrorism charges? It turns out none. Some have been tried, and even convicted, but all on lesser charges unrelated to terrorism. Is this another one of those plots, cooked up to instill more fear in the American public and divert our attention from Iraq?

A war has an objective - the surrender of a monarch, the takeover of an area of land, some specific goal. When that goal is achieved, the war is over.
What is the objective of the war on terror? There will always be more terrorists. New ones are being born every minute. We cannot eliminate them even with genocide (as someone else will become disgruntled about something else). So how will we know when the war on terror is over? Or have we placed the US in a perpetual state of war?

My friend is looking into an annulment because her husband of 11 months has recently been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, which creates a wide variety of difficulties in their marriage. Had she known he had this mental disorder, she would not have married him. Due to her religious convictions, she would rather seek an annulment than a divorce (she knows that a no-fault divorce world be cheaper and easier). Would this disorder qualify under the "unsound mind" justification for annulment?

So many of them insist on embarrassing themselves and asking stupid questions. When they say libs hate America, love terrorists, hate our troops, things like that, they only look like uneducated children. As a conservative myself, it seems to me our time would be better spent fixing our party. Getting rid of the corrupt politicians, making Bush change the course in Iraq and regain the trust of the American people. America sent us a clear message last fall, and it seems many of us are not listening. Do you want to get kicked in the nuts AGAIN in 08? If the REAL conservatives out there stop answering such dumb posts, and point out to those people they are acting like children, we will all be better off.

George H.W. Bush had this to say in a 1998 Time article, when asked why US/UN forces didn't go after Saddam Hussein after Iraqi forces were pushed out of Kuwait in the Gulf War.
"We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."
Seems like besides running the CIA and being a one term president, Bush Sr. was a a fortune teller, for his own kid.

I am not comparing Bush to Amehemijad(sp), but was wondering what people think about this. Do you think the people of Iran see us attacking Iraq on tv and think about Bush the way that we think about their leader? Again, I know he is a mad man and Bush has just made some poor choices.

For Bush, the Welcome Mat Seems a Little Less Welcoming
By Al Kamen
Wednesday, May 9, 2007; Page A15
Finding fine speaking venues at graduation is never easy for late-second-termers, as President Bush is learning. Whereas he once spoke at Ohio State or the University of Texas, now he's left with Florida community colleges or small schools in rural areas that are run by former aides.
But it looks as if it won't be smooth sailing Friday, even when Bush speaks at Saint Vincent College, a small Benedictine school in Latrobe, Pa., run by Jim Towey, former head of the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives.
Inviting President Bush to speak at the commencement of St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., sparked this protest last month. (By Guy Wathen -- Pittsburgh Tribune-review Via Associated Press)

The invitation itself, as we wrote in March, sparked what Towey called "lively and welcome discussion." That included an opposition petition with more than 400 signatures, town hall meetings -- and a 41 to 30 faculty vote backing Towey.
Thirty current and former faculty members, in an open letter to Bush last week, said "in the spirit of Benedictine hospitality" they would "welcome" him to the campus "as we would any visitor" as 1,600 students graduate. And they said they will "welcome those who protest your visit" and hope the college doesn't "turn them away" on Friday.

I have always enjoyed visiting the US. The people I have met have been friendly and made me feel welcome. However, watching the stream of bad news on CNN this last year, and seeing how it appears that the Administration is on a different tack to the US population, and apparently making terrible blunders, I started to feel uneasy. I wonder if we were to stray from our present relationship with the US, such as stopping selling oil to them completely, what would happen.
