Zebari told Obama (who agrees with you) that a precipitous withdrawal “would create a huge vacuum and undo all the gains and achievements. And the others” - enemies of the United States - “would celebrate.”

Sounds like your take would be adjusted if you traveled with Obama to meet Zebari…

I didn't even know he had passed away. Heart failure at 25? Yeesh. Well, my sympathies to Tsuchiya both for the death of her ex-husband.

One of the women, Hebba Aref, is a 25-year-old lawyer (little surprise since the DNC is the party of attorneys). Oh man, Obama's crew made the mistake of ticking off an attorney, and one fresh out of law school at that!

Another report I heard said she contacted CAIR and…

USAFdude:

How refreshing to hear intelligent discussion about taking down Osama bin Laden. How wonderful to know that President of the United States Barack Obama will be our CinC in less than a year!

That's odd. Just 24 hours ago, you were railing against Bush for not having hanged bin…

Sarge, that's true, but I've adapted to that. Also, I like being able to preview my post and correct any format or spelling errors before posting.

Not that I'm always successful...

I like the redesign. Not only do we now have bold and italic options to add life to our posts, but the website actually works! The main reason I quit JT before was the frustration over the site being sooooo slow, when it worked at all.

You really seem to believe that George Soros paid for the survey, and by so doing, told the researchers not to conduct an honest survey. Do you actually expect others to be as gullible as you have chosen to be?

Name a single act or group that Soros has…

At this point, it would be about as practical as switching all of our interstates and surface roads over to driving on the left. And as others have noted, we already use both systems for different things.

Now if someone would just tell me why the Brits still use "stone"…

Depending on the sourses used the count goes from 40,000 to 600,000.

Well there ya go. ;)

I don't keep the counts and the DOD says they quit counting deaths of Iraqis in May 2003 because the count was growing too many too fast. < :-)

And yet,…

yabits:

The number given, 654,965, is only speculative because the researchers cannot claim an exact number. Applying a 10-20% error rate to it still provides a result over a half-million who died on account of the US invasion.

Oh, it's speculative all right. And which group offered the original…
