Just saw on tv they're asking for another 70 bil., guess that makes it more than Kerry's much criticized 200 bil. statement!

Disappearance of 380 tons of mainly HMX and RDX explosives on October 10 from a U.S. stockpile in Iraq. Insane. Nuff said.

I continue to think the solution in Iraq is a two-state solution. Frankly, I think it's the only thin hope there is for establishing a democracy in the region, and perhaps the only realistic way Iraq's regional neighbors can assist in a viable transformation of the country. One nation (Southern Iraq, to include Shiite holy cities south of Baghdad) would become a theocracy, largely comprised of the Shiite population which make up over 60 percent of Iraq's current population. Probably about 40 percent of the Shiites would become citizens of this nation, with the remainder choosing to live in the northern Democratic nation. The northern Democratic nation would then be more evenly divided amongst Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites and these groups can, thus, compete for leadership over the best ideas. I think it's also likely that regional neighbors would come to assistance. Iran would be pleased to have a sister theocratic nation, and the US could improve its relations with Iran by helping establish this new nation. Turkey would be satisfied that the Kurds would no longer push for autonomy. The other Arab nations, especially Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria would be pleased to know that peace has finally come into the region and likely would do their utmost to assist in this new nation-building. The trick to making this happen is to provide the Southern Shiite nation with proceeds from present day Iraq's oil resources; and providing the Northern Democracy nation with access to the Persian Gulf. Moreover, the above is a plan that the United Nations could get behind. Eventually, the American and British troops would be replaced with peacekeepers who have affinity to the region. Any thoughts, folks?

John Liveshot Kerry and Prettyboy Edwards just go from one headline to the next...they have NO plan no ideas, just reading the New York Slime every morning.... But that aside, it is no news that President Bush is going to ask for more funding, he has been saying that for months. But in the pinhead Demoncrat mind Kerry was not lying IF at some point in the future the story is made true huh??? Does that mean if he goes back and actually DOES talk to those security council members, the ones that he did not talk to as he claimed, then his lying about it is vindicated? LOL
