I am totaly appaled and cannot believe the liberals and the liberal press that is taring our county apart. Its also time we realize who the enemies are in our own county. I cannot believe how, during war time there is not something by law we can do to stop the liberals from aiding our enemy with the neg. comments and relaease of milatery secreats, etc. I am not happy with the way the war as been fought and hope President Bush will quit being afraid to be the cowboy he was referred to as and take charge, without worry of what the liberal press have to say when he does. The lives of American's should be his top concern. The advertisers for the New York Times and the other liberal papers should be boycotted, as well as the advertisers for the liberal TV news networks. I for one am trying to find out who supports the liberal media and divert my money as much as possible. I have never car pooled in my life; I now carpool. We need to act like we are the people who love our feedoms and protect those feedoms by boycot or whatever means it takes that our enemy knows there are plenty of Americans who do not agree or support the liberals of this country. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57043Wed, 14 Feb 2007 22:30:36 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57043Joey, San Diego, CAWhen are we going to stop listening to the moron?! The lies that have come from this administration have gotten us backed into a corner in Iraq which is going to take many more years to get out of. Yes, we can't withdraw from Iraq, no matter how much any of us want to get our troops home quickly and safely. If we try to withdraw, the U.S. will be in serious risk from terrorist activities and lose credibility throughout the world. So we have to stick it out and finish what BUSH started for the sake of our citizens and the Iraqi people. But now he's trying to pick a fight with Iran?!!! Anyone remember the WMDs Iraq had, and how much of a threat they were to our country's wellbeing. Now, Iran is providing weapons to harm our troops? Come on, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Do not buy Bush's crap again...he's gotten us into one mess...do not allow him to get us into another one. Remember one thing, the Iraqi people in general did not like Saddam and their military was mostly conscribed troops...this is the major reason we were able to swiftly gain control of the country. Iran on the other hand is WAY different! The Iranian people support their government and hate the U.S. with a passion. They will not lie down and accept defeat...we will be thrown into WWIII. Congress needs to step up and begin impeachment proceedings. This President has stepped over his authority way to many times! Wake up America! http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57045Wed, 14 Feb 2007 22:33:01 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57045Paul Hope-CrossMaybe US Troops wouldn't be getting hurt and killed if they were where they belong, at home not terrorizing the rest of the world. So as the invasion of Iran's oil fields begin remember who bombed Afghanistan long before 9/11. So that conflict was tit for tat, Iraq was because they had weapons of mass destruction and oil, Iran has RPG's and oil. So on all three counts who is the biggest hypocrite.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57051Wed, 14 Feb 2007 22:42:58 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57051Leon Bernotas, Willowick, OhioRegardless what Iran is doing, is their own Home, while Bush is The International Terrorist and Criminal Aggressor.

And what matters is that they’re there". If I'm not misstaken, the insurgents are also using American weapons that they have managed to obtain.

This is the same country whose inhabitants chant "Death to America" on a daily basis. This is the same country that lied about it's seceret nuclear program, then continued to develope it against UN orders. Don't forget that this same country and the same members of government today abducted U.S. citizens and held them for over a year.

Bush is asking to be impeached. I think he has personally "Had it!" and wants out without having to resign. Cheney of, course, won't allow it. And Rove would probably feel it's not really his problem. He has done all that he was hired to do. Congress's head is in the sand again. Also, it is tragically amusing to see the Dem and Rep parties at war with each other with their heads simultaneously in the sand.

A country many would call the most powerful on earth. Lead by a man who, not unlike a small child, believes there are monsters living in the shadows. Terrible, evil creatures lurking just beyond his peripheral vision - ready to pounce and devour him the moment he lets down his guard. Hideous shadow dwellers much too adept at camouflage to be exposed when any mother opens the closet door, or when any father shines a flashlight beneath the bed. That no one else ( except for other small children who band together at playgrounds, forming circular committees beneath slides to discuss in whispers the modus operandi of night monsters with a taste for children’s souls ) can see or sense the danger is of no consequence. Chimera born of smoke possess an inherent ability to disperse the atoms of their bodies in an instant and to reassemble in another dark corner. And as any child can tell you, the existence of monsters is an irrefutable fact - a fact verified by their very ability to avoid detection. After all, if we could see them they wouldn’t be monsters. "By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed."

Jordan New Orleans LAThis sounds like Bush is trying to repeat his reasons for going to war in Iraq. He was lying then, why would he tell the truth now? He is a warmonger and should never been put into office by the Supreme court in the first place. His entire presidency has been based on lies. What's surprising is how many people believed him in the past. I pray that they don't fall for it this time. To me, he should be put on trial for war crimes himself. He shoule also be impeached by Congress. Others have been impeached for much less. His actions, and the actions of the Vice-president as well, at least border on treason.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57171Thu, 15 Feb 2007 01:46:27 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57171Michael Cecil, South Bend, IndianaWe think we have 'discovered' the name of the 'senior U.S. military analyst', or at least narrowed it down to one of three people.

Jordan, Olive Branch, Miss.What's the point of giving a point of view if it's going to be censored? Here's mine anyway, which is probably futile attempt. I believe the reports. I say take off the kid gloves and rock 'em sock 'em robots! Iran has been America's foe for 36 years. The saying goes, if the school yard bully keeps getting away with terrorizing the school yard kids... he's going to keep doing it. If someone turns around and punches the bully in the noce really hard, he'll think twice before being the bully again!

Yellow Cake,WMD'S,Al Qaeda's partnership with Saddam. This administration will go to any length to "insure our safety". All I see is a trillion dollars of debt to China, 4,000 troops dead in Iraq -though you never hear the statistic for Afghanistan even though that's where Bin Laden is - and the 600,000 civilians dead thus far. Or the false bottomed economy.. (Coke and Chrysler submitting huge workforce cuts whilst the media says we're doing great) Last month, the bomb squads were called in Boston to report blinking cartoon signs as a terrorist threat. A cartoon. Is this freedom? Instigating unrest and turmoil? Ignoring all sound thought and military advice AGAIN?

An administration with no political constraints has anounced that it will do what it pleases militarily. Congress, having at least found a squeaky voice, blusters and fusses but only seems ineffective to those of us that wish to see this President pulled up short NOW. This Administration is, before our eyes and with no shame, constructing it's Gulf of Tonkin. All evidence including your reporting indicates that Bush will attack Iran.

Out of NOWHERE came a morter shell and blasted the location and killed at least 15 - 20 persons and injured many. Fragments from the explosive devices showed signs of USA. Is it fair to say that the USA provided the rebels with the morter shell to kill Liberians and there are people who still have the 'fragments' with the USA and serial number of the device.

I can't believe we complain that anyone captures our citizens and holds them for over a year while the Guantanamo captives are still imprisoned without even being formally charged. Iran has been our enemy for 36 years because we supported the Shah for decades prior to that while the Shah, who was NOT an elected official, brutally abused his own people with the support of US provided weapons. How right it is that the bully will keep punching, but, who's the bully? The US always says it's the defendor of democracy. The Shah of Iran, Manuel Noriega, Marcos in the Philipines; none were democratic, all were dictators and all were supported by the US. Please open your eyes and recognize the facts. Please don't use 9/11 as a means of justifying anything that the US has done since, 9/11 was not caused by Afghanistans nor by Iraqis and the more we meddle in others affairs, the more they will be inclined to meddle in ours (or try to kill us).http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57280Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:06:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57280Imran Ahmed, Lawrence, USAThe least people like "sharon" can do is learn to write proper English. It is amazing how someone equates car pooling with partriotism. And calling the Pro-Israeli anti-Iran New York Times a Liberal newspaper is like calling Kanye West a country music star. BTW how about sharing the shower to prove you are a patriot? Being a patriot means going to work despite a blizzard and making sure your patients are serviced during the blizzard, like I and my coworkers did yesterday. As for people like Jane A. they started beating the drums of war against Iraq and today they have become so honorable as to find fault with Bush for his anti Iran stance. How hypocrtical!http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57281Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:08:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57281Dean Jackson, Edmonds, WashingtonI think we're all missing one very obvious point: assuming Iran is involved, and assuming we want to invade Iran, we must recognize that we are not capable of solving the problem militarily with our current leadership. They have proved to the world they can't fight terrorism with a military campaign even in a country that initially offered no resistance. This administration has neutered the strongest military in the world. I'm not saying the military is weak, but it is rudderless. It's a very sad and distressing fact, but we have no teeth on this one. If we expand our Iraq invasion into Iran, we'll bring more harm than good to us and every ally in the region. While tactical or cooperative military intervention may have been possible before our blunders in Iraq, it's not now. A capable administration would use more than just the military to address the problem. Of course, a capable administration wouldn't have us where we are now in Iraq. It'll take a lot of economic and diplomatic effort to pressure Iran, and it'll have to happen through the use of Iran's neighbors and within Iran using the resistance to its own gov't. We'll have to get neighboring countries to step up in very visible and decisive ways.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57282Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:13:25 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57282lloyd robert, jamaica, new yorkWow Sharron, you really live in a two dimensional world, liberal and conservative, left and right, good and evil, how unfortunate. The world is more complex than that, there's a lot of gray in the middle. But wanting to propose a law to stifle Americans speech, maybe you're a former communist. Just to let you know, it was the liberal New York Times that broke the Whitewater story that caused the ensuing Monica Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment of that liberal Clinton. I doubt Fox News, if they had damaging information on George W, I doubt they would print it. But the liberal press certainly reported on their so called liberal president. By the way, the Iranians should be thanking George Bush. He made them into a regional power by taking away the only deterrent they feared, Saddam Hussein. Start thinking like a true American and respect the truth. We were attacked on 9-11-01 by 19 hijackers, 15 of them from one country alone, Saudi Arabia. Not one was from Iraq, not one. You want us to win a war against people that didn't attack us. How un-American.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57283Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:17:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57283L G, Buffalo, NYI am tired of hearing George Bush spout ff without PROOF!! He got us into this war with PROOF! He is soley responsible for the failure of our plan in Iraq and with be the very reason why we stand a chance of losing this war at a tremendous cost of American lives. This president is long overdue for impeachment!!!http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57284Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:19:30 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57284JMO, York, Pa Did the President think that WE would be the ones supplying weapons and technology the insurgents and foreign fighters ?

Bush must overcome the insistence that there were "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq. Also, his statement that there was an attempt on his father's life was a clue the Iraq war is a personal vendetta. How are we to believe him?http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57292Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:46:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57292Herman Shurden, Dallas, TXI can't believe that the real story is "he said - she said". The turmoil in Iraq isn't being caused by the Iraqui citizenry; its being imported. Lets give our leadership the benefit of the doubt - I personally trust Bush more than Armedinajed (sp) and the media who is seems more interested in parlor issues like "I caught you with that faux" than the real issue. We'd better get behind this President and show some backbone - the enemy is them, not us. The evidence, yes circumstantial, shouldn't be difficult to accept, and it wouldn't be if your family was in a situation where their lives were in danger on a daily basis. Look at Iran, look at its leadership, think about their stated hatred of the US, and tell me that our administration is the problem - far from it. I don't want to go to war with Iran, but nor do I want my countrymen to demean our President. over what I believe is an unfair interogation of small issues. How about the US media doing some "investigative reporting" in Iran, or of Iranian leadership, and come back with some real news and opinions. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57294Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:52:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57294Rev. Barry A. Zavah Proving that we rarely learn from history, I offer you the Iraq War of March, 2003 - ????. It took the space of a short generation to fall into the same trap. That is, our hubris got us in to another foreign policy jam. It is also fair to say: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Thank the stars the Press and some in Congress are finally doing what they were supposed to have done in the months leading up to this Iraq War in March, 2003. "Checks and balances," my fellow Americans, is what the Constitution we're living under -- and the super-patriots among our number claim to love and adore -- is all about. We didn't elect any of our Presidents as King. Ask George Washington about that. We owe the Office respect and the individual holding it at OUR pleasure respect, but the respect an individual deserves can easily be lost. Political capital has less currency than the value of a bond of established credit from being one's word and more so, others being able to trust another’s word to be as it has been stated. Bush and his advisors cannot possibly think the American public is going to put the same hook back in our mouths, do they? If they do, then they may have a better read on the public, after all...it has only been since 1975 when our failed policy in Vietnam bore its predictable fruit. However they also have an awfully short memory, because we're not dancing to the same refrain twice. Guarding against this President taking us to war against Iran or any other future Chief Executive in another insane foreign policy (mis)adventure is something as simple as people and institutions doing their jobs according to design specifications. It is amazing how quickly things unravel with a little dose of healthy skepticism and people simply doing their jobs. Witness the Administration's claims of an Iranian (read Iranian GOVERNMENTAL) connection to some of the arms going to the Shiite in Iraq. By the end of the weekend, that was exposed for what it was. The deeper problem; in the long-term more than just what might happen since we've muddied the waters in an already unstable 'country' in an already unstable region of the world is: "what happens to a nation when its citizens lose faith and find they cannot trust their government?" It is that glue that was weakened by Presidential lies from at least Lyndon Johnson's "Gulf of Tonkin" assertion, Nixon's "Secret plan to end the war in Vietnam" and his Watergate Cover-up, Reagan's "arms for hostages in the "Iran-Contra" scandal, Clinton's personal problems as played across the national stage and now, Bush II, riding into town on an horse, he claimed, of a different stripe, where integrity means something. What we've found is it meant he thought he could better deceive us if we believed that he stood for something more than we've experienced most of these last 35 years since the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Have we come to expect that level of dishonesty from our elected leaders? Have we no right to expect better from those with whom we have a relationship, be it political, business or personal? Do we need to continue to settle for the state of dishonesty and lack of personal integrity in our relationships and in ourselves? There is nothing worse in a relationship than an abuse of trust. It took most of the last 25 or 30 years for the public to begin to trust its Federal Government; but as we've learned it was misplaced. Between outright deception in 'cooking the intelligence books' to both the Congress and the 4th Estate rolling over like lap dogs prior to this Iraq War, the public has not been well served. I'm a Minister and cannot help but to believe in redemption. The Congress and the Press has been doing a better job these last few months, but trust once broken cannot so easily be re-established. It must be earned. Sorry if the public is gun-shy, but it isn't without good cause. Trust, my friends, is the only commodity in a relationship worth its salt and it is the glue that binds all things together. It is disastrous to a relationship when the bonds of trust have been so broken. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57296Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:56:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57296Barbie Slopehead"Fool me once... shame on, shame on you.

American people are learning it is ok to disagree with a President who is friends of Saudi Arabia and who gives them special treatment on the world stage at the expense of American lives. For years no one would say anything against promoting the Israeli agenda for fear of being labeled an anti-Semitist but now America is learning it is also acceptable to disagree with Israeli promoters like AIPAC members, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and William Kristol of the Weekly Standard who would gladly sell thousands of American soldiers lives to promote Israeli interest! Now these same policies and neocons are pushing our soldiers toward another war in Iran. American military is made to protect American interest not fight proxy wars in the interest of other countries! American blood and treasure should be spent only in American interest! The Current Vice President of the United States felt the need to jump on a plane on a moments notice and fly to Saudi Arabia at the beckon call of the house of Saudi.

Montreal CanadaWhat is the big deal if Iranian weapons are used in Iraq? Why don't the President attack Russia? they sold anti air craft weapons to Iran. What about the plane load of bombs from the U.S.A. that landed in Israel, when their stockpile went down during their last massacre of Lebanese lives.

Everything he says and does it with an advertising spin to it. The media needs to do its job of providing the public with real information and just Bush's spin doctors word. The media needs to get real valid and confirmed information what ever way possible. The public has a right to know. I doubt many Americans would support Bush if they had better information. Why can't the public get the real truth?? The american public needs to revolt against this bull sh@t. When will it end? Get our troops out of Iraq now before more die for lies that Bush and his team spin daily. The other thing Bush and company like to do is get the public to take their eye off the ball by getting the public to focus of some imaginary issue/problem that Bush and company say is important. Many businesses do not spend as much on advertising as Bush and company do.

Doesn't Bush have us in enough of a mess already? I think he would like to widen the war into Iran. Will we have to institute the draft again? If he goes to Iran we certainly will have to have a draft, there just aren't enough soldiers to do anything that big. I hope everyone has the stomach to watch young men and women get killed in larger numbers (and yes women are not going to be exempt from the draft!). I'm from the Vietnam Era and I wonder how many of these republicans will become liberals once they have to watch the mail and wait for their draft notice all the time seeing people they know who never made it back. Bush needs to talk and shoot later rather than shooting first and letting the next democratic president clean up. Additionally, the neo-conservatives really need to shut off that verbal garbage party line rhetoric and start using their brains for a change. I predict that Bush will expand the war. My next prediction after that is many conservatives who are directly affected by the larger war will suddenly become liberal in thinking.....much like the Reagans did about stem cell research once they had to unfortunately live through the hardship of Alzheimers disease.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57415Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:02:35 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57415Ronald J HelwigHello to the Gods of the truth,let me see? I get it the USA & Isreal should wait to see Iran first nuclear test on one of our soils in some chosen area like hills and dales and then we should be real glad for the time spent?http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57417Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:05:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57417Joe Chicago, Il.WOW! First off, I thought this president was supposed to be "conservative". Why does he use the U.S. war machine so liberally? Why does he spend U.S. tax dollars so liberally? Why doesn't he take a step back for a second and try diplomacy for once. And not the whole aggressive, "do this or your dead" diplomacy we've seen the last few years but, true diplomacy that uses compromise to reach goals. Maybe he doesn't want the U.S. to be liked and respected around the world. I for one do. Do you?? And the thing that ticks me off the most is that I'm basically a conservative myself but, I know wrong when I see it. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57428Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:18:08 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57428LindaThe Date marking on the “Iranian Anti-Tank Rocket Propelled Grenades” shown in slide #15 of the officially released Power Point Presentation of the Sunday 02-11-07 by Senior U.S. military officials in Iraq is FABRICATED. It seems to be a forgery/phony. As it is seen in one of the pictures of slide #15 the line under the number marking”P.G.7-AT-1” shows the marking “LOT: 5-31-2006” as an apparent manufacturing date of this grenade. Why this date marking LOT: 5-31-2006 is a fabrication? Because ONLY in United States it is customary to write a calendar date as “month-day-year”. The rest of the world (O.K. European centuries, Iran, etc.) is accustomed to write a calendar date as “day-month-year”. So I am speculating that this marking of Lot: 5-31-2006 is done by someone/entity that is accustomed with American way of writing a calendar date and not a European or Iranian way of writing a calendar date. I picked this observation from the interview of Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations with Charlie Rose broadcasted on 02-13-07 and decided to double check it for myself. Also, beside this belligerent fabrication have anyone wondered why would Iranian arm factories put a “Return Address” of serial number and fabrication date which equate to “Made in Iran within the past year” on such sensitive weapons ????.....that were smuggled into Iraq….. By Iraqi hired smugglers???? Also, why these markings are in English and not in Persian? Please check into it. P.S. used the Power Point Presentation cited in Washington Post, in an on-line column of Dan Froomkin dated 12-02-06.

Wars are messy in the first place. But when the politicians use the war as a means to strike another blow at the opposing political party like our politicians are doing. It goes way beyound messy. While our soldiers continue to be killed and maimed. All of our politicians are shameful, and a disgrace. The enemy has won this war buy pitting our politicians against each other, and placing their own careers and welfare first. In the infantry we had a saying, "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way" But for Gods sake do something, our soldiers are being killed!http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57448Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:41:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57448Marc Plymouth, MaI have long suspected Iraq's Neighbors of doing all they can to prevent us from prevailing in the region. If it is found, with solid presentable evidence, that Iran is really arming the insurgency and harming American troops, then we have no recourse other than to adress them sternly and forcefully. Anyone remember the old 70's take off of the song barbra ann called BOMB IRAN? Well maybee its about time we got even for them kindnapping all our citizens way back then. Or maybee just let Israel bomb the heck out of em for us. Of coarse this is only if the Iranians are indeed trying to harm our troops and their mission in Iraq. If they aren't then we should leave them alone. BTW all the whining about president bush does nothing to promote change, it just makes all of us in america sound like morons.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57469Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:07:17 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57469richard thomnpson, wichita, KSThe "Bush" team is a crime family. The crime family is the cult of oil companies , pharma and weapons manufacturers. The crime family also consists of front organizations like Fox News who market war for oil reserves...the largest in the world exist in Iran and Iraq. Project for The New American Century-PNAC was begun by Dickless Cheney and another moneyed chickenhawk Bill Kristol of The Weekly Standard a corporate fascist agenda, manifesto and methods. In addition to messianic faux religious pretentions and corporate rule of the planet, GOP-PNAC methods center on the use of violence like shock & awe, fear as motive for mobilization of nationalistic hatred willing to attack their corproate oil & economic targets and the use of threats and direct violence taxpaid and cheered by such GOP-PNAC propaganda sources as Fox News. Their singular goal is further corporate and personal enrichment with no allegience other than that held soley for their own crime family. The GOP-PNAC planners of 911 and controlled demolitions of WTC buildings was on their schedule since 1998. When their corporate puppet George Bush was intstalled as despot in chief, their plan proceeded until pre-911 when Dick Cheney's Texas Energy Task Force concluded its mapping division of the Iraq oil pie with huge fortunes to be made for each GOP-PNAC campaign funder. When the GOP's employee Bin Laden's Muslim fundamentalists successfully flew airliners into the WTC, the last false-flag special operation was in-place. This cleared their final step to invade Iraq and then Iran which was the GOP oil businessmen's charter, their "cataclysmic event" as they prescribed to awaken and mobilize US oil-war sentiment back in their 1998 manifesto. This is no delusional paranoia, rather it remains their factual stated goal. It is the bedrock fact of the GOP-PNAC plan perfected by motivated GOP corporations headed by their puppet president and crime boss VP Cheney. Iran's oil has always been the next target for our taxes thusly waging war on Iran's government converting it to Exxon, British Petroleum and Halliburton's rule at US taxpaid gunpoint. Bid Laden remains on the US special op's payroll starting with him and the US-CIA driving Russians from Afghanistan. It was of no difficulty for this Saudi ally of George Sr. and chimp-in-chief George to find the motivated Saudi-Sunni fundamentalists to make the 911 crash show....leaving Dick Cheney and Halliburton and special op's US teams to rig and detonate the WTC buildings falling neatly uncannily into their own precise footprints. These are the facts. The moron South of the US run by the same GOP-PNAC oil-plantation CEO's and CFO's still think they are freeing Iraq and Iran for "democracy" becoming oil plantation-colonies for Halliburton and Exxon. Their GOP-PNAC CEO's love the enabling radical right religious drumbeat that the Southern style TV evangelists, stok-kar Daaaaaaydees and morons fiercely spend for buying Exxon and Halliburton their next enormously profiable Mideast oil colonies in Iraq and in Iran. War waged to steal and operate those Mideast oil reserves is the New American Century of the Old South , of the GOP -PNAC and the life-long wealth-come-true aspiration of GOP-PNAC planners. Just think how democratic the Iranians and Iraqi's will feel as subjects of Exxon and Texas's new oil colonies...all taxpaid. Also note the ongoing problem hunting down that wicked CIA operative Osama Bin Laden. Are there still questions among any serious people as to the wealth motives behind the GOP-PNAC oil men? If so, I know you have never done business with these military fascist organizations....but you have burned their gasoline with much much much more oil dependence to come: Iran's huge oil reserves next, the only GOP mission. Screw the taxpayers who will pay for it for generations....and screw the dead who cannot speak these truths after Exxon and the GOP re-write their "christian" version of events and WMD and yellow cake and fake Al kaida connections motives. Not a single Iraqi nor a single Iranian has one iota to do with 911...but who cared with such obscene war profits to be made? Not GOP "patriots." A star-spangled treason which nobody can seriously think...let alone discuss its massive import to the end of our former US rebublic...star-spangled indeed in Texas.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57492Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:37:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57492Dissenting AmericanI agree with John Doe that it does seem a little suspicious that the labels on the alleged weapons supplied by Iran that have been recently displayed on national television are written in English. But even if Iran were suppling weapons to Iraq could we blame them? Our government is actively engaged in a shamlessly transparent attempt to bait Iran into a "Gulf of Tonkin" type incident. The U.S. has had an insidious history of covertly infering in other peoples wars, the most infamous example of this being when our government supplied weapons to not one but both sides in the Iran/Iraq war witch in my mind is nothing less than diabolical and only underlines the United States intention to not ensure the victory of one side but simply to keep a region destablized in order to maintain U.S. influence and power. They've done it in Africa for years. We are living in strange and scary times. Bushes abuses of power must be curbed before he causes another diseaster. Whether it's by impeachment or frontal lobotomy, somethings got to give. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57494Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:38:56 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57494Kathleen De Grado Sparks NevadaBush needs to be very careful when it comes to his accusations.

Looks like they've forgotten the U.S. removed Iran's elected leader years ago and installed its puppet, the Shah of Iran, the dictator that brutalized the Iranians. After that the Iranians kidnapped a few Americans, true, but they didn't kill them and released them a year later, unlike the unfortunate prisoners in America's gulags around the world who have been incarcerated for years, not charged, and have no legal representation. It's such blatant hypocrisy.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57508Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:56:42 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57508Eric Mesa, Arizona While most "Lame duck",(non-supreme court elected) presidents of the past seem to have had a harder time getting a special interest pork bill written up before he was to leave office, this president intends to use millitary force for the 2nd time on a sovereign country in a similiar pre-emptive fashion which would be a 2nd violation of article 151 of the UN charter which we what? Have evidence to violate once again? Impeachment wouldn't send a strong enough message to future presidential candidates with plans to further neo-con policies, which are as harmful to the average American as terrorists attacks, in that they detest liberalism. No, indictments must happen. First for intending to violate said article 151 for the 2nd time, illegal wiretaps including various other mis-uses of homeland security (watch how peaceful protestors against the continued out-sourcing of American jobs had helicopters communicating with under-cover operatives dispersed among the crowd, paid for with H.S. money, get beaten like criminals, or (terrorists) on satellite T.V. Lastly, our leader clearly knows more than he has let on regarding the Libby trial, which spells treason. Not a stretch for a man who was awol during wartime for more than 30 days (it's called desertion). God help Scott Fitzgerald get this cabinet on one of these indictable charges, because our house and senate seem powerless against this Frankenstein. The television news, owned by G.E., and limited others made Ross Perot look like an idiot, granted the swift-boaters airtime, and essentially will almost always make the case for neo-cons in general, will now work on telling us who we should vote for next. Again, lets thin the heard of the higher corruptable than usual, by pushing for indictments on all levels for this administration. (Rumsfeld is presently being tried for war crimes in Germany). Then let us remember not to let the media tell us who is or isn't qualified to be president in '08. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57512Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:58:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57512Jim Whitman, North Highlands, Ca.It took Bush what, 3 years before he stopped calling everyone terrorists or al Queda, many of Bush's people still call Americans terrorists & un-Ameirican.

Therefore it begs to answer who is arming the Sunnis. I would say that Saudi Arabia and maybe Egypt are supplying or supporting the Sunnis to keep them in power.

W and his conservative cronies seized control of this government, and until recently, quashed debate on just about every issue that matters. Liberals had little to do with the direction of the country for the last 6 years. To accuse liberals of “tearing” this country apart is pure demagogy, is dishonest, and laughable. W and his conservative minions have had a blank checkbook to do as they wished. The end result: they created the problems of which you complain about. “Passing the buck” is a hallmark of poor leadership. To date, this administration has failed to accept responsibility for much (ref. Katrina, Plamegate, Wiretapping, WMD, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, extraordinary renditions, illegal propaganda produced for domestic consumption, voting scams (like New Hampshire), war profiteering, Abramoff, secret energy dealings (ex Enron, California crisis), the direct series of attacks on American civil liberties, rampant cronyism (heckuva job, Brownie), or the wino in charge of Homeland Security, and etc ad nauseum). In fact, only recently did the conservatives continue to squelch Iraq debate in the Senate, by using the filibuster. Honest debate, of which there has been little in the last 6 years, has never torn anything apart. In fact, the reverse could be said to be truer: that by quashing debate, we have pursued a one-party driven course through recent history, with zero meaningful oversight possible. The leadership vacuum of the last 6 years continues, as Bush is now stumping his “grand achievements” on the North Korea. Pay no attention to the fact that the proposed solution is a Clinton-era rehash, one that BushCo has criticized from day one. Forget that we could have had this settlement at much lower cost, years ago. Some achievement. The conservatives have hijacked our government for some time now, and they have created the fiascos that we are dealing with. Their stewardship has all but bankrupted our country, and borders on malfeasance. One can only hope that some of the great liberal minds will emerge, as has happened throughout our history, which will steer America away from the fascist future that has been chosen for us by the privileged few.http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57711Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:00:21 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57711Bob, Little Falls, NJIRAN'S ROLE? Not so SIMPLE, as Bush's responders with short-minded and uninformed means of THINKING (sheep mentality)! Why are we in Iraq today? Who are the major power players in the world today? What does each major power want from the US? Why does Europe count on Russian dependency for fuel supply, rather than the US? Why can't we just pack up and get out of Iraq tomorrow, regardless who the US president may be? Why NOT immediately strike and invade Iran (nuk'em as some "simple-minded" ignorants suggest)? Who will gain MOST if the US will strike to weaken Iran? Why Russia and China will support Iran regardless what they'll do? Why each US president MUST have the JEWISH (Israeli) vote to win? Why do we HAVE to support Israel (Christian access to Jerusalem vs. Muslim control) militarily regardless what they'll do in Palestine or Middle East? Many, many tough unanswered questions that the US Congress and even MORE crucial, the MEDIA should have asked BEFORE the presidential POWERS to go to WAR have been voted on and was hastefully granted by a cowardly Congress. We all are emotional beings, but when it comes to WAR, SIMPLE emotions can NOT and should NOT be allowed to decide in these type of deadly decisions. A well defined DECISION PROCESS with at least a 2 dozens points check-list should be followed by the President and at least 4 dozens points check-list be followed by Congress with backbone QUESTIONING and DEBATING the President's requests and FACTS presented for going to WAR before ANY such vote is even allowed. The Media, the Polls, the "opinions", the "stupid" haste to make such a vital decision is RUSHED and THIS my dear, ignorant, emotional and uninformed fellow Americans is the OUTCOME !!! It's OUR FAULT not Bush's!!!! We voted him in office the 2nd. time and gave him the POWERs he has today!!!! Does it hurt when you realize you did a very STUPID thing? GOOD!!!! Then DEAL with it America and STOP blaming the Republicans, or Democrats, or God, because NOW it doesn't really matter any-more!!! Shame on ALL of us STUPID SHEEP!!! Please start THINKING before you ALL elect the next President in POWER!!! Who is that going to be? Hillary, who supported the President to go to WAR and is backed by NY Jewish $$$$? John Edwards, who now also says that if he was presented with all the facts he would have voted differently, McCain who is still supporting Bush for going to WAR? Gulliani who supported the war but doesn't agree how it was fought and as a NY Mayor kissed up to the Israelis right after the 9/11 strike? The religious RIGHT Mormon? The Mexican from New Mexico? Maybe Obama, who in my opinion has nothing to gain nor loose, but who knows, may be the best as an OUTSIDER? No more excuses, Elected Congress members representing us the PEOPLE, MUST ask, debate and obtain all the necessary information and true FACTS before going to WAR, or we must as well accept being a dictatorship and not a DEMOCRACY as we claim to be. Please, no more EXTREME religious Bush-alikes!!! This is AMERICA and I demand that our government represents ALL of US, the PEOPLE!!! Thank you all for reading and hopefully you will ALL be THINKING a little more before you cast your next Presidential VOTE.

You hit it on the button. GW is being driven by the influence of the Jeane Kilpatrick neocons that have recently risen to prominence in his administration. Somewhat, by default, as other more astute and rational policy people have been driven out or have resigned. Chiefly, Elliot Abrams is a significantly dangerous individual and I understand he plays a pivotal role as an advisoR To GW now. This man was the brains behind the Iran/Conta scandal, poor Ollie North was just the fall guy. Another Neocon of concern is John Negroponte, who coincidentely was ambassador to Honduras at the time of the US backed militarization there. And, well there there is also that our new Secretary of Defense, Mr Gates, not only facilitated assistance to Saddam when he was at war with Iran, but also advocated for the 'carpet bombing' of Nicaragua. I have also been told that Mr. Gates had a role in trying to put out some of the fires regarding the CIAs possible role in the JFK assasination. Jees, its almost as if John Foster and Allen Dulles have been reincarnated behind the sceens of GWs government. http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57930Fri, 16 Feb 2007 08:56:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57930Kalisa, Santa Cruz, CABravo Kristen, and many of the contributors. I would simply like to respond to Joey (San Diego, 2/14/07 5:30 PM)who stated: "The Iranian people...hate the U.S. with a passion." I am an American woman, and I spent 3 weeks in Iran in Aug. 2005. I was in the capital, and several major cities, in the company of Iranians, and met with those of varying social levels. I was simply a visitor and tourist. I was openly there as an American, and I have rarely been treated with as much courtesy, kindness, and true hospitality. I felt totally safe, honored, and welcome. I saw a prosperous, modern society and country that is more interested in the usual things people want, (good education, good jobs, and the comforts and conveniences of a good life) than campaigning against our country. They also critised their own government, and pushed for liberalization, modernization, and freedoms within their own coutry. But if our government continues its attempt to push us into an unwarrented attack against a sovereign nation, those same citizens, in self-defense, will indeed be obliged to learn to "hate America with a passion."http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#57984Fri, 16 Feb 2007 13:12:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57984SAM HECKMAN AZReading these post's I get so very angry. So many of you still do actually fall for all this nonsense that our fearless leader is dishing out. I think all of you that support this war and future war's should have to go fight them. I am a Nam Vet, so I have been in war, unlike those that choose to talk about something that they haven't done or wish to do. IT'S ALL GOOD AND WELL JUST AS LONG AS SOMEONE ELSE DOSE THE FIGHTING FOR YOU. You are all for the war just because someone tell's you it's right. If someone would tell you to go jump off a bridge would you do that also? This all started behind 9/11, our fearless leader said that Iraq had wmd,and lead you into thinking that somehow Iraq was involved in 9/11. So we go kill thousands of innocent people because our fearless leader said it was the right thing to do. Was it? Ok Saddam wasn't such a nice guy, but dose that give us the right to destroy a country because they do not live as we do? Now we are planning to attack Iran. The smarter of you will relize that we are not over there because of bad people. We are trying to take over the middle east. See if you control that area you also control all the oil. It's called greed. Did you ever wonder why we didn't attack N. Korea? Comon we attacked Iraq just because Bush said Iraq had wmd. N.Korea actually tested one. Were we affraid of N.Korea? No, they just do not have anything that we want. If they had alot of oil in N. Korea you can bet your behind that we would of attacked them also. By the way what ever happened with the hunt for Osoma?http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#58001Fri, 16 Feb 2007 13:55:29 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:58001asad alamiri, Detroit, MichiganPresident Bush assured the Americans that the Iranian manufactured and delivered IEDs have been killed 170 of our troops in Iraq. I am wondering why Mr. Bush did not tell us about who killed the remaining 2961 American soldiers and marines in the Iraqi war on terror! Are the 170 killed American troops for some reasons more valuable than the other 2961? On the other hand as we know, there are at least 30,000 terror suspected persons detained in the US controlled prisons in Iraq . We should ask the question: How many Iranian agents among them? The US allied Iraqi government spokesman Dr. Ali Aldabbagh claimed last week via ARABIYA TV that 60% of the terrorists who kill innocent people in Iraq are coming through Syrian borders. Why didn't he tell us about the infiltrated Iranian borders? And what does it mean that the Sunni Iraqi President Jalal Al-Talabani has never mention that Iran may be involved in the terrorism activities on Iraqi soil? Why the Iraqi PM did a couple days ago warn both Iran and USA from solving their personal diffences on Iraqi fields? http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/14/56928.aspx#58021Fri, 16 Feb 2007 14:28:51 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:58021mickey lane when will we americans face the truth: there are no wmd in iraq. there never have been any such weapons. therefore, why are our troops there? certainly not because the 911 terrorists were harbored there. no they were in saudi arabia. it was because the usa wishs to have some input (influence) into OPEC'S pricing/supply decisions, thus possibly pro-longing the so called american lifestyle held together mainly by inexpensive oil. Of course making untold billion dollars also entered into the picture. as for irans supplying weapons to iraqs so called "insurgents" , the obvious question is why are they insurgents? if our troops were not in iraq then there would be no insurgents. no doubt there would be civil war. but like in all other countries where there has been civil war; the strogest usually prevail and some type of government is established . it might not be a government we americans like , but we did not like saddam's goverment either. if the american people let bush continue he will find excuses to attack every country in the middle east. and when through there , lookout hugo chavez and venezuella . afterall they too are harboring terrorists, insurgents, etc, etc, etc. oh yeah they also happen to supply about 17 % of the usa's yearly oil requirment. MEXICO NEXT?
