1. Simple

HOME..... nothing to guess here
Too bad many will be going home in a casket.

Wanting something and getting it 2 different things.

Something just not possible.

of course, the mis-administration will never consider that an option. :(

6. Under Saddam, the Bath party was the secular glue that held Iraq together

the invasion dissolved that completely... we now have 10-12 factions fighting amongst themselves.

Ritter says we need to withdraw completely and diplomatically back the Bathist party, it's the only one that has hope of being able to bring the country back together.

7. Danner says ship Bush over to Iraq to take Saddams place.

8. talking about GAO report that was just leaked to the NYTimes

Iraq's New Premier Gains Support in Talks With Shiite Leaders
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/28/world/middleeast/28iraq.html?_r=1&ex=1146369600&en=50f17994c58920c7&ei=5087%0A&oref=slogin

Other newly released American government findings cast Iraq's situation in even less positive terms. The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, reported that attacks against American-led forces, Iraqis and infrastructure increased 23 percent from 2004 to 2005.

"The insurgency intensified through October 2005 and has remained strong and resilient since then," the G.A.O. said in a 31-page report. "Many Iraqis in Baghdad and the central and northern Sunni areas have lost confidence in the Iraqi Army and police to improve the security situation. In some Sunni areas, support for the insurgents has increased, and Iraqi Shias have expressed greater confidence in their militias."

The G.A.O. also found that in contrast to past assertions that four provinces were facing serious problems, six were in "serious" shape and one was "critical." The finding was based on a study by the military and American Embassy in Baghdad.

9. Scheer - "We should challenge the very idea that

adults are minding the store."

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. He's laying it all out...

9/11 was a result of our actions in Afghanistan.

We enabled the rise of fundimentalist Islam

Our policies have created this.
