It’s hard enough keeping our “fearless” leaders from saying the wrong things. I cannot fathom when our imagineless leaders might consider saying what needs to be said and start assuming the responsibilities caused by the US’s war.

I fear we are getting further from that point, not closer to respecting the tremendous level of reparations and other rebuilding obligations that this bankrupt country owes to the people of Irak.

What has happened to America? It is much more than the last 8 years, and Bush. It has been going on for decades.

Better to let the (D)’s just glide along as the ostensible ‘antiwar’ party, without getting into too much detail.

After all, the (D) party has a 99 year lease on everyone one millimeter to the left of Joe Lieberman, right?

Never bothered to look it up before. Just knew he was a pompous dickhead. And they can come from anywhere. Thanks for the compliment. I just try not to make a fool of myself.</p> Well, I’m no longer ignorant of the fact that he’s from Illinois. Never bothered to look it up before. Just knew he was a pompous dickhead.
