A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

And knowing what more than a few federal judges have their clerks do, the personal errand and babysitting stuff seems a non-issue.

Are you saying that giving a sponge bath to the old man is appropriate?

Depends on the circumstances. Is he having the pages assist?

I'd dodge the question too, if only because I don't know what the fuck O'Reilly (or you) mean by "succeed in Iraq." Seems to me that Sadaam Hussain is out of power, tried and executed and he no longer has control over weapons of mass destruction. Sounds like that's one definition of "success" given the objectives we were told at the start of this thing.

That is success.

If you have shit for brains.

We'd have been much better of leaving him in power. That appalling silliness at his execution shows the level of control their "government" has. The tribally inclined Iraqis are a lower form of human best governed by a tyrant. We've done nothing more than set free the dimmest, backward elements of their society, previously repressed by Saddam, to engage all their idiot ethnic hatreds on one another.

Cold as it sounds, people of tribal mindset or fundamentalist bent should be subject to dictatorial rule. How else can you control such idiots?

Hussein said we'd fall into the jaws of a war we'd never win if we invaded. He also said we'd face enemies we'd never subdue. He hanged, but history will prove his warning accurate, and hang the reputation of W endlessly. He had a reason to smile. He left a hero to the Sunni world, which if I've read the articles on the man correctly, was exactly what he wanted as his legacy.

A pretty high percentage of Americans are people of a fundamentalist bent. Should we end this "democracy" charade once and for all and settle in with an enlightened and benevolent dictator? The pros might outweigh the cons.

Nah, ship 'em all off to Egypt or Syria or NoKo or some such. That'll fix all of Sebby's problems with America.

I think you need a longer track record. Sebby has MANY problems with America.

I also doubt that Israel and Saudi Arabia would "sit down," but I think the statement that the Saudis would be happy to see Israel deal with Iran (and take the heat for it) is accurate.

They hate Israel, but they hate and fear Iran.

I agree with that 100%.

Even if Iraq was sown up tighter than a frog's derriere in water tomorrow, I don't see the US attacking Iran, even just in the air. I just don't see it accomplishing anything.

We let Israel, South African, Pakistan, India, Brazil and North Korea all go nuclear without doing anything. Why would we do something against Iran? However, after letting NK go nuclear, maybe someone will decide it is time to draw the line. But short of a full scale invasion (which is about as likely as Britney Spears winning a Nobel Prize in Physics) what could we really do militarily?

But I can't see Israel sitting still. Yet I don't think there is anything Israel can do.

What I am really saying is that no matter what happens it won't surprise me.

Any one want to lob a prediction on what will happen out there?

We have them under control over here. Apples and oranges.

Sure, you just keep on believing that. As for me, I am going to start catching up on the Left Behind series.

Any idiot's got a right to believe what he likes, and run his mouth off about it. So no, we shouldn't.

But would I love to do that? Absolutely.

It's either that or Canada. I have the arthritis. I can't handle the cold.

Read this instead -- it's shorter, it's free, and it's less irritating. Start from the bottom.
