"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ" --Gandhi

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt

"A little revolution, now and then, is a good thing." -Thomas Jefferson-

"In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in 12 years, we'll be voting for plants." -Lewis Black-

"When you're born in the world you're given a ticket to the freakshow; when you're born in America you're given a front-row seat. And some of us in the front row have notebooks and pencils." -George Carlin

Well it's a nice turn of a phrase, but doesn't mean he gets the votes...

Yahoo! News - White House Silent on Bremer Troop Request
Topic: Miscellaneous 12:49 pm EDT, Oct  5, 2004

] In remarks published Tuesday, the official, L. Paul
] Bremer, said he arrived in Iraq on May 6, 2003 to find
] "horrid" looting and a very unstable situation %u2014
] throwing new fuel onto the presidential campaign issue of
] whether the United States had sufficiently planned for
] the post-war situation in Iraq.
]
]
] "We paid a big price for not stopping it because it
] established an atmosphere of lawlessness," Bremer said
] during an address to an insurance group in White Sulphur
] Springs, W.Va. The group released a summary of his
] remarks in Washington.
]
]
] "We never had enough troops on the ground," Bremer said,
] while insisting that he was "more convinced than ever
] that regime change was the right thing to do."

Now I'm no fan of Saddam, but let's be real, if what you're looking at as a replacement is worse, you don't take that course of action. If we weren't there right now as someone for the various factions to rally against, Iraq would likely be in the midst of a full blown civil war. As it is, it's a police action that's getting uglier daily. If we'd gone in with more guys, it may have been better. If we'd found a way to eliminate him without invasion, it may have been better. This is likely the worst of all worlds.

And since it's in the same acrticle...

"There are clearly ties between Saddam Hussein's regime and al-Qaida," McClellan said. "There (were) clearly some disturbing similarities that existed as well."

"We know there were senior-level contacts between the regime and al-Qaida — the 9/11 commission documented that," McClellan said.

In fact, the 9/11 report said that while there were "friendly contacts" between Iraq and al-Qaida and a common hatred of the United States, none of these contacts "ever developed into a collaborative relationship."

By the rationale the White House is giving us, they could make the same argument that Time Magazine, which has managed to get an Al-Qaida interview here and there is also linked.

Please go out and vote next month and help see that these dolts aren't running the country.

Yes, he's a bleeding heart liberal. He's also right on the mark with this comment.

Welcome to the Bush America. You'd think with the problems of 4 years ago that Florida would have used the intervening time to get their act together. I'm not going to blame them for not doing it right now, they've had 4 major hurricanes hammer them, but in the intevening period what they've done is abhorrent. They've kept things as they were so they can ensure that they steal an election this time that was a coin toss last time.
