I do care a great deal about war though, and I would blast any government that lied to get war, Republican or Democrat.

Borders being re--adjusted in the Caucuses yet again, same as it always been just like in the Balkans, all depending on who has the most influence and power at the time. 3000 years of this.

The politicians express these views because the Iraqi citizens want us out. Al-Maliki and other politicians see the large Shiite voting block that want us out. I think it's true that Iraqis don't want us out before their security forces are capable of taking over. I think it's also true…

Good Job Betzee

Newt Gingrich is alleged to have served his first wife divorce papers in the hotel where she had just had surgery to remove a cancerous growth. Whatever happened to "in sickness and in health"? He's now on to wife #3.
