GX, You analysis is untrue. If McCain really want to be president, he should accept Kerrry offer to be his VP mate. With McCain on his side, Kerry will probably win. Most republicans trust McCain very much. Of course the logic after that is: McCain will be president after Kerry leave office. Don't forget, as popular as McCain is. Being senator is the highest office he held. It is difficul
And I am claiming your post is partisan....look at the language.... Republican sleeping with Saddam?
Texas Wahine, Why do you always disagree with me?
Nonpartisan here. I have not attacked Democrat yet. My point is that your comparison of today Iraq to today USA is unfair and meaningless. Today USA looks better than most countries on earth too. For example, China is a powerful nat
But we do buy most of our oil outside of OPEC....
Thus, violence killed 300 Iraqis last week, the equivalent proportionately of 3,300 Americans. What if 3,300 Americans had died in car bombings, grenade and rocket attacks, machine gun spray, and aerial bombardment in the last week? That is a number greater than the deaths on September
GX, People has no evidence of course.... they made things up as they wish. I will tell you what.... Oil for Food program is the real Blood for Oil Program. More Iraqi die under the oil sanction. For people who oppose the invasion... what you are saying is "yes to oil sanction". You people are sick. For those oppose the war, before you dare to use the word "blood".... prove to me that more Iraqi die now than during the oil sanction per
The question is not on people already decided to vote for Bush or Kerry. Now, the question is on the few swing voters. I think Moore actually hurt Kerry chance among swing voters because his attacks on Bush are all over the place, not very logical. On one hand, he said bin Laden is innocent and Taliban should never be attacked. On the other hand, he states that Bush decision to attack Iraq is wrong because he removes resources from Afghanistan whic
I will tell you what is Blood for Oil. When 5000 Iraqi children die every MONTH under the oil sanction, and when oil for food is profiting a small number of European country -- that is Blood for Oil. When USA gave up all Iraqi debt and spent hundred of billion money on Iraqi, that is not Blood for Oil.
It is very sad when more Iraqi justified this war than American. What the hell is wrong with the left? The left keep on talking about humanitrate issue. Damn it. The previous oil sanction killed 5000 Iraqi children under 5 every MONTH, according to UN its own source. This does not even include what Saddam did.
Above #2 response is what I said. See, I told you Bush is pretending to not engage the debate, and frankly the left has been stupid enough to go around to call Bush afraid and scared. If Bush win the debates, just remember you stupid left are the one lower the public expectation. You have no one to blame but yourself. ..... shooting at your own feet, and slowly going to north to shoot some more.
Dear Rugbyshawn, Yes, there is no question the poll we are reading right now is the result of a bounce after the GOP, and yes traditionally these bounces do not last long. Yet, the deeper question is something slighty different. Traditonally, candidates enjoy a bounce from their own converntion because that is 1 week where they will get alot of media converage and attention, and their opponent
I think anyone know what the Bush team is trying to do. Even through most Democrat thinks he is a poor debater, the fact is otherwise. Everytime he debates with someone, his approval rate goes up -- against Ann Ricahrds, against Al Gore. The left can make fun of how he speaks, but ultimately if he is a horrible debater, his approval point should drop not up. The Republican Convention is another recent example. He got a bounce and Kerry didn't.
cactoblasta, I don't think that is the case.... I really don't know why you think Iraqis think better of UN than USA. Where that comes from? I will give you two example, Ayatollah Sistani seems to rather talk to USA than UN. Also, when Bush was considering handing Saddam to UN, most Iraqi got really mad and thought Bush is betraying them -- that Saddam might not have to face death penalty then
I think the problem of CBS is not that they reported a false new. Every news agency does it sometime. The problem is that CBS has not yet admitted the mistake, and retrack the story. No one will make a fuss if CBS came out and said, "We were trying to break a story, and we are not as careful". End of story. I won't care. The problem is that Dan Rather started to attack other news agencies and said, "...
Oil for Food Program has one fundamental program that is the council nations have specific economic interest and therefore are influcence by the program. Specially, Oil for Food Program cannot and should not involve any nation in the security councial trading with Iraq because once that happened the program is an incentive to the security.
I can't watch SouthPark... No cable.
Yes, because in the context it appeared that they were acting as agents of the US government. A better mix of US and foreign soldiers added to General Assembly and Security Council support would create a more diverse picture. Currently it is easy for a mullah to argue that the Coalition
UN has legitimacy according to who? To Iraqia and terrorists? To those who believe terrorists only attack America because of the invasion, wake up. The first large scale suicide car bomb was done to the UN headquarter.
The UN, the WHO and the Red Cross are some international organizations that can help us. We just need to let them do their job! We may be the strongest nation on earth, but there are things that we can learn from others
Frogboy, Didn't you say the 1.0.2 will be coming out soon sometime ago? Has anything being added as you mentioned?
I don't understand why people keep bring UN into the pciture. No, no, and no. I heard people said if we bring UN in, we don't need to send as many troops. Yes, but how much less, I think like 1% less. The French and German has already said they will send in troops even under UN leadership. What country does it left with? China and Russia. China, I don't it. Chinese never like this kind of peace keeping efforts anyway. Russia, maybe, because th
True, but neither Japan nor Germany were actively fighting the allied forces, nor were they fighting among themselves. Yes, the rebellions in Japan and Germany after WW2 is much less (there were some actually), but that is because the Allied actually fought
We have to maintain military presence. People somehow expect nation rebuild to occur in a year, that is simply not the case. Both nation building projects of Japan and Germany was at least 5 years. If we pull out now, and Iraq fall into the wrong hand, then we are forced to go in once again -- the next job can only be harder. Middle east is vital to our strategic position. The three countries with the most cruel oil reserve are Saudi, Iraq, and Ku
