join the Masons if they have any ambition? I mean these people have to be completely stupid. Here's this organization that they believe can make them rich and powerful and probably has a lodge in their own community, but all they can do is whine about it. Why aren't they the first ones to join their local lodge?

How it works we invade Iraq we declare a war on terror ? The terrorist factions within the middle east declare Jihad ? They have nothing to lose they don't care about sanctions or rules that soverign nations live by so how does one negoiate with them ? They use civilains as sheilds ? Now the United States is on record of course claiming the goals that brought them into Iraq were unrealistic.

The senators' comments followed a report by The Washington Post on Sunday that said the Bush administration is lowering its expectations of what it can achieve in Iraq. The report quoted an unnamed senior official, who said U.S. officials do not expect Iraq to develop a model democracy, a self-sustained oil industry or a stable society. "What we expected to achieve was never realistic given the timetable or what unfolded on the ground," the Post report quoted the official as saying. Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the administration lowered its expectations because "we were not prepared for the occupation."

I'm sure this is just some liberal Democrat trying to stain the perfectly unblemished record of the Bush Administration on war. It's not possible they planned poorly and not our troops don't have a attainable goal ? Or is it ?

WARFARE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Under Fire for 6 Hours, U.N. Peacekeepers Pleaded for Help Before Being Killed, U.N. Says
By Alissa J. Rubin, Times Staff Writer
July 27, 2006

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations post where four peacekeepers were killed by Israeli fire Tuesday was hit at least 16 times over six hours, including five direct hits on the base as its unarmed staff repeatedly notified Israeli liaison officers and begged for help, U.N. officials said Wednesday.

On Tuesday U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the airstrike that hit the post in southern Lebanon was "apparently deliberate."

Bush and Rummy are always talking about how great Iraq is and that the mission is accomplished... so if the mission is accomplished and there are so many trained Iraqi policemen and soldiers (several hundred thousand according to Rummy).. then let's go home...

and they talk about how fantasic the economy is doing and how everything is at super all-time highs... then why don't we raise the minimum wage so everyone can reap some of the benefits? God knows the upper class are reaping the benefits...
