Our elected officials hide behind "blue ribbon" panels of those that feed from the government trough. The military base closing committee, 9/11 commission, and now the ISG - where is congress? C'mon new majority - the people spoke - now march into the house this january and cut funding for the war. Force the president to put together a timetable. Govern for God's sakes and be responsible for the consequences of your actions for once. excuse me but i must have been asleep. i swear i don’t remember a privy council being a legitimate organ of this republic. just like i don’t remember when Nancy Pelosi became prime minister in by way of the san mateo by-elections.

They want to confront us without triggering a war but they are prepared for war if it comes to that. What that means for us is there will be a war unless we just give in...wait never mind...with all the politicans rushing to the Sunday talk shows in order to be the first to surrender I guess they won't have to go to war.

A majority of Americans at the time wanted to avoid that at all costs. It is now 2006 and like it or not we are headed for war with Iran. We can deny it all we want but the primary goal of the government of Iran is to engage the US militarily. I would bet doughnuts every morning for the rest of my life that the decision has already been made in Tehran to go to war with the US.

Israel will Nuke Iran and maybe Syria or Iran and Syria with Jihadists will Nuke Israel, then we and the rest of the world will be next! What this World needs Right Now!

You put these Radical Nut cases in them and reprogram them into Happy Buddist, Happy Hindus, Happy Scientist, or Happy Christians and other Religions that recognize that other religions have the right to exist. Then systematically get rid of their book where ever you find it. Their book is Anti Human and it needs to disappear. If Bush follows the lost wisdom of the left

Ahmadinejad purged the foreign service last year, replacing experienced hands with ideological purists

That seems familiar, but I can’t figure out why.

I thought I heard this exact quote, but attributed to www.redstate.com: "You will excuse me if I believe that talking to Syria while it is in the process of gobbling up its tiny Lebanese neighbor to be one of the most cynical, immoral, and ill-considered diplomatic ideas in a generation – which of course is right up Baker’s alley."
