&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;IS it just me, or is everyone’s post all in boldface?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it must be just you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I write a post it’s all CAPS, underlined, in italics and bolded. You know, normal-ish.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
…&lt;br /&gt;
“what has happened to the president’s mental capacity?”&lt;br /&gt;
…&lt;br /&gt;
we need to get the public aware this man’s mental capacity has deminished&lt;br /&gt;
…
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that would dissolve the charge that he knowingly did commit various horrendous crimes and that it would allow him to essentially claim ‘insanity’ as a defense. In short, it would let him skip town.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the American people do NOT punish the Bush administration rather severely, then they will have permanently associated themselves with this horrendous criminality and immorality. We can’t afford to do that. It would mean the end of America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-914898&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Brisingamen @ 177&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brendan, I think I see why we’re disagreeing. You think I’m calling for formal partition, like the UN did with Palestine. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I was trying to say is that I think the sectarian violence in Iraq will cause it to fragment into several states, either along ethnic (Kurds) or religious (Shi’a/Sunni) lines. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think my choice of terms is what is causing the confusion. I’m all for the Iraqis having the government they want, not one imposed from the outside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s what I figured, but the terms are important:  the people presenting it as a technocratic solution are actually working at making it happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe if we all just let the created nation of Irak revert to what it was prior to the British fucking with it back in the 20s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is just more of our typical American paternalism trying to decide for other groups of people what THEIR county (ies) should look like and whom the administration of said country(ies) should be left to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know we think oil is our national security, but our most precious natural resources, our kids, are dying once again for lies and other peoples’ visions of what the world should look like.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m fucking disgusted with it. The Democrats need to end this occupation and end it soon. They’ve already lost what little credibility they had wth me with maybe five exceptions, Mo Hinchey, Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest of the elected Dems in Washington can kiss my white ass.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-914738&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;montag @ 57&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-914730&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oklahoma kiddo @ 49&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Seems I read somewhere that Poppy fired Karl years ago during Bush I’s campaign? Perhaps I’m wrong on this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ah, that was just business. Rove did one of his dirty-tricks ratfuckings on one of Poppy’s long-time friends, because Rove thought the guy was getting a bit too much of consulting fee pie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Poppy thinks Rove is the only way to get Jeb into office before he strokes out, he’ll bankroll the operation. After all, Rove got Poppy’s drunken ne’er-do-well son elected four times….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The guy Rove ratted on…for being a Nazi…was, in fact, a Nazi and a member of Hitler’s bodyguard in WWII. He was Otto Skorzeny, a member of the elite Liebstandarte SS, the group that served as Hitler’s personal bodyguard after he took power in 1933 and the group that was responsible for most of the atrocities against the Russians in Operation Barbarossa in 1941.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Skorzeny was close friends with Bush, Sr. who probably had lots of Nazi friends given the proximity of the rocket scientists brought over under Operation Paperclip who settled in Texas near Randolph Air Force base to work with another war criminal, Werner von Braun, on the US rocket program and later the space program.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Christy; I’m sorry to get off-topic here, but why is Angela Merkel smiling? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Was this photo taken right after she just got groped by a handsome, studly, faux texas cowboy, who would cheerfully eat her toejam for one regiment of Bundeswehr troops to “visit” Baghdad for a short 15 month tour?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;this is the plan of the pnac, they wanted to steal and this is the way they accomplished their robbery&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the greatest robbery in the history of planet earth, they have not only stolen the treasure of Iraq, they have stolen the treasure of the wealthies country in the history of planet earth, the investments from the American middle class&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the half-trillion dollars pumped out of the suckers in China, who will probably be repaid in either drastically devalued or totally worthless currency. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As thieves, the Bush crowd have a certain skill…..&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
That’s what I figured, but the terms are important:  the people presenting it as a technocratic solution are actually working at making it happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ugh — there’s actually a group that wants to do this??!! I managed to miss that somehow. That just stinks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t know if there’s “a group”.  I’m making a deduction that there are people who want it when it comes out the mouth of Biden.  I think Galbraith orginally broached it somewhere respectable.  O’Hanlon, a sock puppet, has.  I’ve stated the reasons I think neocons want it.  It’s up to you to be persuaded or not, or investigate further.  I’m just saying alarm bells should go off when you hear the word.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boston1775 - I think this…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look at what the last believer brought us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…is what Christy had in mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The last believer, if I understand correctly, is George W Bush.  Many are studying the religious beliefs of George W Bush.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
