"No treasury deep enough; no army large

[monarch]

enough" to force the Iraqis to solve their own problems. Chris Dodd just now on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell.

1. That was a well turned phrase. To bad they followed him with

Texas Kay.

5. I agree-- I changed the channel the minute I saw her. n/t

2. Pretty much what I just replied to an RNC emailing with.

The RNC emailing referenced a "slow-bleed" the Dems apparently want to take. :eyes:

I said, Hooray for Pelosi! Time to stop the fast-bleeding of our troops and our treasury!

3. Yep. It shows the limits to "doing it for them."

As I've said before, forcing 'democracy' on another nation is as corrupt as forcing 'love' on another person. It's called 'rape.'

Just how brain-damaged does someone have to be to think that the criteria for 'success' in a military occupation is a 'pacified' population? How many troops does it take waging war to create 'peace'? How many people have to be fucked over to make them virgins?

It's an abysmally brain-damaged population that buys into this horse shit for even a second.

7. Of course, democracy was not part of the plan. It was always about doing it TO them.

8. You now the Ruskies put it best

before the war started

You cannot impose an ideology on the tip of bayonets.

Damn there are days I miss THAT Russian Ambassador to the UN. He had the gift of gab

4. Great quote and very true.

6. It should be "No army large enough to withstand the Iraqi resistance to US aggression

and imperialism."
