and we are not talking a one day or one week romp into some banana republic here, we are talking since 2003, we have been fighting a war and spending hundreds of billions of dollars.

Should this be allowed to go on without a formal declaration of war?

In fact, why has war not been declared?, isnt that the real problem here...that if Iraq was dire enough for us to fight a war then war would have been declared. The fact that no war has been declared speaks volumes. We need to change this in the future to prevent further situations like this. Sometimes wars have to be fought, but when they do, the case must be so clear, that war can be declared in open debate by those empowered to do so.

News about the continuing malfeasance of the Clinton Criminal Enterprise is negated by reports out of Iraq that benchmarks aren't being met.

This about right?

I offer as evidence

A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her
telephone failed to ring when her friends called and that on the few
occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.

The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this
psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the
subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the
dog moaned and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:
1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a
steel chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the
number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then
urinate.
5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone
to ring.

Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and
moaning.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Or are you one of the perennially fooled?

Prostitution, drugs, gambling… in the interest of freedom and free enterprise, why should these things be largely illegal? Or am I going to get the Republican line "freedom isn’t free" or "you can’t have that much freedom"?

Aren’t these things just legislated morality?

Which would you expect a Liberal candidate who says he cares about the poor to focus on? The hair or the 800 starving people?

200,000 starving people could eat on what Pelosi spends to fly to California for a weekend.

I thought they figured it out when they were stuck in the Superdome and the Convention center for days with no signs of rescue.

Two years later and they are still complaining about what the government ISN'T doing. When will they get the memo that they will have to get jobs and do for themselves?

Isn't that the lesson that should have been learned immediately after that unfortunate tragedy?

Since we don't have money why do you get upset?

Since your throwing money at the problem, isn't that just like welfare.

It is in the rumor mill from Washington, A blogger heard the following from his Washington insider friend:

"They [the source's institution] have "instructions" (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don't think they'll ever get majority support for this--they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is "plenty.""

The source is:

Again this is just a rumor. But it makes sense ... the Republicans are nothing unless they can fabricate fear and portray themselves as our protectors.

How many of you knew that Iran has been firing artillery barrages into Iraq ?
And when I say 'knew' , I'm not saying 'Who can look it up ' . I want to know how many of you knew this ?

It's ok if ya didn't . This all goes back to 'You don't know what you don't know'.

Now , what do you think about Iran firing artillery barrages into Iraq ? .. . . for quite some time too !!

and NOT having to work 40 hours per week.

The average poor person in America is 2 inches taller and weighs 10 pounds more than the men who landed at Normandy.

Are politicians deceiving us when they say poverty is "bad" in America?

See how quick the Repubs went against their own when he did wrong, like they did to Larry Craig? Would a Dem have done that if another Dem was in that situation. Nope. They'd just stand by the idiot and scream 'right-wing conspiracy!' to anyone who dares make a Dem take responsibility for their actions

I can see why the Dems hate the 'values and morals' message.

They don't have any to begin with.
