"What we didn't do in Iran was give them free elections, opportunities for women and an economy not only based on oil."
And Iraq's new constitution, based on Sharia law gives "opportunities for women?"
Hahahaha, hey, wait a minute, that's not funny....
Edit:All hooked up with aipac.org? Not one of those real "fiscal conservatives" eh?....what was the appropriation, 2.35 billion or sumtin' like that in 'our' tax dollars this year?

The difference is technology, OBL/Taliban/Jihadists/Muhajadeen have no defense against a fleet of armed UAV's. They may face a battle field with no one to attack.
Actually, we are the ones who will end up in this position. That's how guerillas win wars, after all. That's how they won this one, too.
The Turks were technologically superior to the Arabs in 1916. They had trains, planes and automobiles. The Arabs had camels. The Turks got their butts handed to them, even though they controlled Medina and Mecca right up to their capitulation.
You really need to read about the Arab revolt. The part about Arab troops who served in the Ottoman Army is particulary revealing. And "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is a great read to boot.

Said it b4, say it again, "with what Army?"
Then you'll say, "we have 150k around the world."
Then I'll say, "seen the recruiting numbers?"
Repeat ad nauseum. Notice you didn't address the 380 tons or should I say 370 something tons.
Dolchstosslegende, anyone?

Read closer FT; you missed all the "good" points. We could say the same about riots in Cleveland a few years ago...
But here's some more cud to chew on...about women in Iraq...
"They said what I am wearing is devil clothes," she says of the time she was recently turned away from the main mosque in Baghdad's Shiite Kadhimiya neighborhood. She pulls incredulously at the shapeless black robe that got her banned because openings between the fasteners revealed flashes of the long formless dress underneath.

PS-still waiting for a cite from OBL's speeches "wanting France"..
Ed. Looks like we "got our hands full"...

Request is rejected, let him rot in hell. He gets four slices of bacon for breakfast everyday.
judging by who's holding hands with who these days, I'd say your quickest way to the Cabinet level or Justice Fattrad would be to figure out how SH's Bro could 'leave' and have it be the 'liberals' fault.

1- Go to www.google.com
2- Type in "Failure", without the quotes
3- Instead of hitting "Search" hit "I'm feeling Lucky"

well I read the article. but that's an interesting proposition. guess I'll have to look into it.
Your right. I have found all kinds of this chicanery now that you mention it.
that RJR atttorney O'Rielly in charge of investigating DeLay
Brown kept on to investigate Brown and FEMA
or Senator Roberts from Kansas taking a look at 'Phase Two' of the Intelligence Committee report.
I better start looking a little more carefully at my sources.
Ed. oops almost forgot... how about 'ol pheasant hunting buddies voting to keep that clandestine energy policy from being 'discovered'?
but I always appreciate the racial profiling point of view, thanks FT.

A new AP-Ipsos poll found the president's approval rating was at 37 percent...
those 37% are the people who believe that Adam & Eve rode dinosaurs to church.

Fatty, there are numerous polls out this week and they all basically say the same thing: 35-39% approval rating for the Prez and a downward trend.

"Did you know that Zogby, the poll taker, is of arab ancestry. He has been against Bush from day one"
did you know that hitler also found a way to blame everything imperfect about german society on the jews? uniting against a common enemy of all decent people, it's possible that it could work for you wingers, but you should be aware that it's been tried before.
