You are like static in the background, showing up at random times, always unwanted. If we are at the oil fields, it is to secure them against the idiots blowing them up. If we are running the oil fields, how come we are paying to reconstruct Iraq instead of using their own oil money? Remember the 200 billion you keep complaining about? That is being used over there to rebuild stuff like buildings and oil fields and such. Prolly won't find one palace rebuilt, which is what good old Saddam did after the last war. We are not holding the populace at gunpoint. We are not making them quarter and feed our soldiers. We are in our own areas, we run checkpoints, but the Iraqis move freely about. WOuld you prefer the "insurgents" (or worthless terrorist scum to most of the US) be allowed to have run of the country? We have contained the hot spot areas. That country is at war, I'd pretty much say their actions need to reflect that reality. I don't lie. Why would I? You are not worth the time it takes to remember if I spun a lie or not. By telling the truth, the message is always the same. Always clear. I think when you are frustrated you call people liars. Do you kick your dog too? Your frustration stems from the fact that you wanted Gore, you are mad about something from 4 yrs ago, you pine for the days of hil and bill running the country. You need to move on. You are frustrated that your candidate is a miserable failure at delivering any message at all about what he can do for the US. You are frustrated that your candidate claims to be able to handle Iraq, when all he is really offering is to turn the problem over to others and cut and run. I think your frustration is with your candidate, not with me. That is why I am so nice to you and tolerate you. I understand you feel helpless and impotent when the world is moving along in a direction you don't agre with and no one on the internet can see you holding your breath and stamping your feet.
