~ Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us? ~ ~ The country and the Congress were misled into war. I regret that we were not given the truth; as I said more than a year ago, knowing what we know now, I would not have gone to war in Iraq. And knowing now the full measure of the Bush Administrationís duplicity and incompetence, I doubt there are many members of Congress who would give them the authority they abused so badly. I know I would not. ~ ~ A democratic and stable Iraq and Afghanistan are essential to our broader efforts to make no place safe for terrorists and to win the War on Terrorism. ~ ~ A free and stable Iraq will be a shining light against the shadow of Islamic extremism. ~ ~ Experts say that Iraq may have nuclear weapons. That\'s bad news - they may have a nuclear bomb. Now the good news is that they have to drop it with a camel. ~ ~ The Democratic Party silence on Iraq is another moment of a voice lost. Faced with votes in favor of the war, the silence is deafening in Washington and the frustration is growing larger among voters. It's time for us to ask the question: What is the exit strategy? ~ ~ I think investors were looking for an excuse to take some profits after a blisteringly good pace in November. Higher energy prices near term, and the continuing battle in Washington over the course of the Iraq war have provided sufficient reason for investors to take a little profit. ~ ~ I hope we do not see another Iraq-type operation for a long time without UN approval and much broader support from the international community. ~ ~ We’re busy exporting Democracy abroad to Afghanistan and Iraq, which is fine, but what we really need to do is a better job at making our Democracy work right here at home. ~ ~ The war in Iraq will end, our troops will come home, Bush will be impeached and he will be brought to justice. ~ ~ History will judge the invasion of Iraq one of the greatest foreign policy misadventures of all time. ~ ~ I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq. ~ ~ The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich. ~ ~ I personally hold Tony Blair more responsible for this war (in Iraq) than I do George Bush. The reason is, Blair knows better, Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy? ~ ~ No country in history ever sent mothers of toddlers off to fight enemy soldiers until the United States did this in the Iraq war. ~ ~ Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush’s ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government. ~ ~ We have forgotten that Vietnam, and Iraq resent being invaded and know the ground better than we do. ~ ~ I do not know what compassionate conservative means. Does it mean cutting kids out of after school programs, Does it mean drilling in the arctic wildlife refuge? Does it mean sending kids to Iraq without body armor that is state of the art? ~ ~ Lasting peace and security in Iraq and Afghanistan will be achieved when we establish the conditions for democratic, economically viable nations. ~ ~ Any solution for the Iraqi problem cannot be reached without Arabs and Arab participation. ~ ~ There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America. ~ ~ America and its allies face many risks and problems in Iraq, but it is all too easy to snatch defeat from the jaws of uncertainty. ~ ~ As fighting in Iraq intensifies, President Bush delivered his supplemental war budget to Congress. The money will cover 30 days of fighting, then we’ll be sent one war every other month until we cancel our subscription. ~ ~ The American invasion did not succeed in Vietnam, and will never succeed in Iraq. ~ ~ No country in history ever sent mothers of toddlers off to fight enemy soldiers until the United States did this in the Iraq war. ~ ~ The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. ~ ~ The Iraq conflict, while not a cause of extremism, has become a cause for extremists. ~ ~ It would be hard to blame you for having trouble taking much of what is said in Washington seriously. You heard about the Medicare actuary who was forced to fudge the numbers and lie to Congress to keep his job. You heard the falsified numbers in Iraq on everything from the cost of the war to the number of trained Iraqi troops to a slam dunk case for weapons of mass destruction. You heard about the administration sponsored fake newscasts to mislead people all across America. ~ ~ Well, it looks like we've moved a step closer to war. Not with Iraq. With France and Germany. How did we screw that one up? ~ ~ Threatening me with death doesn't mean anything. I don't care less. The life of any one Iraqi is no less valuable than mine. ~
