Yes. And stinky. ETA that based on the subject you added, I feel you are saying I am marginally attractive.

Please. LaRouche is far more coherent than I am. And I don't have his grasp of history.

Umm, that is why it is funny. It is Ty's siggy and it keeps changing. Is he changing it or is it being changed automatically?

Right, shfm? slave? sgt?

As far as I know, the Iraqi air force never harmed a hair on anyone's head.

Why is that pertinent? If he has information about WMDs or anything else, we should do whatever it takes to get that information.

I'm kinda curious as to why Slave brought up the destruction of the WTC in connection with stuff in Iraq, but whatever.

I have, and have posted as much on these boards. However, I get the gut feeling that things are turning. It will take time, but they are turning.

The opposite side of the coin is that you guys want a democracy cut from whole cloth in roughly the length of a sit com. Granted, the execution post victory has been terrible, but this shit takes time and there are going to be mistakes. But there has been a lot of good news that has been completely ignored (e.g., half of Iraq's ministeries are now under Iraqi rule). Rome, errr, post-WWII Germany/Japan were not built in a day.

I also predict that Bush will be vindicated on WMD. This does not change his post war execution, but at least it will shut a lot of holes.

Dr. Frist: A woman's decision to have an abortion is not a personal, family matter, but an affront to the safe and reputable practice of medicine and to the sanctity of human life.

Sen. Frist:* My son's arrest yesterday for driving while intoxicated is a personal, family matter.

*Or, as indicated on his webpage, Bill Frist, M.D.

I was trying to bust Slave's chops, not to sweep you in.

I had no expectations about how easy this was going to be. But the mistakes we have made have made things much, much worse. There may be good news, but there was a lot of good stuff going on in Weimar Germany, too. The Titanic is resting on the floor of the North Atlantic, largely intact. The question is how it turns out. IMHO, we fucked up by trying to do too much on the cheap, by refusing to share control with the UN, and by insisting on this June 30 date. Not sure we can overcome any of this.

Even if they find some WMD now, Bush will be far from vindicated. But I don't want to get into that again.

To add in another tip, the person is likely to be an Arab. While fair skinned converts to Islam do exist, they are far, far less likely to be suicide bombers.

I agree with you completely on this.

Didn't the UN pull out all of its people at the first firing of resistance shots? Kind of tough to share anything when one party won't put boots on the ground.
