he is a confirmed idiot. You already know that. He thinks Kerry will run for a touchdown in the "Hyperbowl" ;^) but he doesn't realize he will be asked at the debate or earlier why he hasn't distanced himself from wacko liars like Michael Moore. I would like to see a Michael Moore presentation on the Swimmer's loss of MaryJo. I guess he would show him valiantly attempting to save her life and reluctantly swimming away in order to catch his attorney before bedtime.

<<ou seem to look up to him. I will try to find the quotes from him that state plainly what he thinks of Americans.>> I've often heard Moore talk about how much he loves America and our troops. His first film Roger And Me was about Flint's dying auto industry. I think he has a real love and feel for America's blue collar workers, whatever else you may think about him. Do you think the GAO hates America? seattletimes.nwsource.com Iraq's basic services worse now than before war, GAO says By Seth Borenstein Knight Ridder Newspapers WASHINGTON — In a few key areas — electricity, the judicial system and overall security — the Iraq that America handed back to its residents Monday is worse off than before the war began last year, according to calculations in a new General Accounting Office report released yesterday. The 105-page report by Congress' investigative arm offers a bleak assessment of Iraq after 14 months of U.S. military occupation. Among its findings: • In 13 of Iraq's 18 provinces, electricity was available fewer hours per day on average last month than before the war. Nearly 20 million of Iraq's 26 million people live in those provinces. • Only $13.7 billion of the $58 billion pledged and allocated worldwide to rebuild Iraq has been spent, with $10 billion more about to be spent. The biggest chunk of that money has been used to run Iraq's ministry operations. • The country's court system is more clogged than before the war, and judges are frequent targets of assassination attempts. • The new Iraqi civil-defense, police and overall security units are suffering from mass desertions, are poorly trained and ill-equipped. • The number of what the now-disbanded Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) called significant insurgent attacks skyrocketed from 411 in February to 1,169 in May.
