That's a common lie that americans, europeans, and other similar soul-less monsters internalize to let themselves sleep at night.

wasn't al-Maliki in more or less constant consultation with GWB? If so I think I know where to attribute the failure.

Thats false.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_R...full_resolution

House:
Republicans: 215 Yea 6 Nay. (97% in favor)
Democrats: 82 Yea 126 Nay. (39% in favor)

Senate:
Republicans: 48 Yea 1 Nay (98% in favor)
Democrats: 29 Yea 21 Nay (58% in favor)

Grand Total:
Republicans: 263/270 or 97%.
Democrats: 111/258 or 43%.

Its a page out of 1984. Keep repeating a lie and people will believe it.

just a public service announcement that plafop thinks slavs are failures, traced back to interbreeding with The Orientals - and that aborginals should only have rights in the same way that we protect apes or chimpanzees

My mistake, I was thinking of only the Senate. Still, 43% is nothing to sneeze at. That's about as bipartisan as it gets in Washington.

They are literally begging America to send troops there or to at least bomb. They love America more than Americans do and love Bush especially for liberating them from Hussein.

its not the 97% in favor that the republicans had. I know what party I would put my money on when it comes to actually running things. Unfortunately we aren't allowed to have a intelligent conservative party in this country.

that could be said about any interest or belief about anything. even in real life most of what you say isnt a decision making process. people talk about poo poo they cant control all the time, at work, in families, about whatever possible thing you can think of. maybe its venting, maybe you cant control it, so what, people like to talk about things they still care about
