LOL! rove wins again.... first the British get pulled into Iraq, now they get duped into shelling out £7m and shutting down their capital for a week just so bush can get a photo-op with the queen for the campaign ads.... brilliant!

good to see that despite the geopolitical distractions, the honourable members of the Senate are working hard on what really matters: http://news.com.com/2100-1026_3-5106684.html

and that is preferable (and what usually happens) when the differences are minor or procedural -- but here it seems a different order of magnitude, with potential consequences so enormous and the behavior of the "leaders" so outrageous that those who disagree with the policy can't stay...

this is true - certainly with the clintons, arguably with carter. Bush I has shown restraint all things considered, at least publically. it seems inevitable, as the process has become so short-term media driven and the voters more ignorant of politics and global affairs.

but isn't their position that it is the foreign policy that is contrary to the national interest?

this is nonsense. the whole difficulty of the "real" situation is its vagueness and its unknown consequences and effects, that it cannot be worked out with simple 50% assumptions and kindergarten logic, despite what the administration says.

you are correct, that is an important question. but whether the answer is yes, no, or not sure, there's no excuse for not honoring appropriately those who have sacrificed. whoever is responsible for this policy of ignoring the casualties should be given the next available ticket to Tikrit...

her restored memory, the new criticisms, the claims of rape, and the resulting media frenzy occur just as she's releasing a book.... just a coincidence, surely.

Jessica Lynch Laments Military Portrayal By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: November 7, 2003 PALESTINE, W.Va. (AP) -- Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch said the U.S. military was wrong to manipulate the story of her dramatic rescue and should not have filmed it in the first place...

double-check who posted what. your post is directed to the wrong person. there was nothing obviously bigoted in his post. "your kind" could simply be referring to "idiots"

maybe you -have- lost it. this is uncalled for.

:confused: that is illogical - that the most active and vocal of the neocon warmongers are themselves elitist draft-dodgers and lying hypocrites is not an insult to true war heroes. as an aside, do you really think the bush crew are "conservatives"? they have expanded govt spending at...
