		<description>Kate, your right that Islam and Democracy don&#039;t mix and it never will.  For some reason our political leaders and many people in this country believe that everyone in the world wants to live under Democracy.  It&#039;s hard for us to fathom that their are people who actually enjoy living under dictators, kings, religious leaders, and other types of rulers and under Islam.   

I believe our form of government, as it was originally formed under the Constitution, is the best in the world but I don&#039;t advocate forcing other nations to our ways.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s a piece from 4 years ago... 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110005354&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Wilson-Plame &quot;scandal&quot; was political pulp fiction.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I don&#039;t know who knew what and when they knew it but yellow cake wasn&#039;t the reason we went to Iraq, regardless of what ANY of the &lt;em&gt;Bush&#039;s Ass Tastes Good&lt;/em&gt; crowd has to say...</description>

		<description>That was the whole thing behind Wilson/Plame...

Plame wasn&#039;t a clandestine agent, if she was, she had the worst cover ever, she may have been some kind of operative, a *source* if you will, but she wasn&#039;t Jane Bond... 

Wilson, in his position, likely knew a hell of a lot more than some folks wanted him to know, it&#039;s ALL politics anyway, and WE get to pay for it...

I don&#039;t know who was right and wrong on this one, all I know is that fingers were pointed and that prior to the Kuwait thing back in &#039;90 and our involvement in &#039;91, Saddam was the best damned chess piece we had in the region, and that region of the world was the only thing threatened BY Saddam... </description>

		<description>Well yeah....  suck ALL the fields dry, THEN....  :)  

And I&#039;m getting used to being called names.  Actually, I think it&#039;s kind of amusing at times.

As for the yellow cake, wasn&#039;t that what the big tado with Wilson was all about?  First he said, it was, then he said it wasn&#039;t?  Then he got a hair up his butt?</description>

		<description>Kate: We need to TAKE all the oil we NEED 1st, then blow the damned place to hell and back... 

And I have been called all kinds of names for saying what you just did, but Islam and Democracy will NOT mix, never have, never will...

George Bush is a goddamned moron, Iraq was ALL HIS, and til I die I will believe, yellow cake and all, that we went to Iraq because Bush was pissed at Saddam...

The yellow cake that a few Bush Bot morons are touting as the supposed WMDs aren&#039;t aware that it wasn&#039;t even a known commodity, not public knowledge, until fairly recent times, and damn sure not before we went to Iraq, not as any kind of WMD... 

It was known that Saddam had it, back in &#039;91, and Saddam was allowed to have it because the goddamned Iraqis were too damned stupid to actually do anything with it, they were good with poison gas, but thermo-nukes were WAY out of their league...

A *dirty bomb* was about all they could muster, and more people would be killed by the blast than the radiological material... 

The whole thing has been a farce and we have been the victims, our wallets and our economy...</description>

		<description>Islam and democracy don&#039;t mix, so I don&#039;t understand why the powers that be seem to think it&#039;s gonna happen.  

Your opinion please... :)  If we ever get out of there, and things fall apart, would it be wise to go back in?  

I&#039;m thinking of a large glass field, but then, I&#039;m a racist warmonger, so....  :)</description>

		<description>Kate, most people would think it good news, except those that KNOW these bastards will fold like a cheap suit the 1st time some Islamic moonbat strongman waves his beard at em... 

I don&#039;t give a DAMN what people like Amy Proctor and company have to say, Iraq will NEVER, I repeat, NEVER be capable of standing on it&#039;s own as ANY kind of democracy, and anyone that believes otherwise is a fool... 

So, we might as well stay, tell the Iraqis to f*ck off, we&#039;re taking over, then TAKE the damned oil we need... 

Iraq won&#039;t mind, in fact, they&#039;d be a lot happier if it was that way, it&#039;s what they&#039;re used to, dictatorship... 

As soon as WE leave, Iraq goes back into the hands of some maniacal dictator, it&#039;s that simple...</description>
