		<description>Could be more than Hezballah and Hamas with their couscous in the fire.

I hear Muckty&#039;s sportin&#039; a green turban these days. Any truth to that?</description>

  Who stold more votes:

  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ???


  Or, Obama &amp; A.C.O.R.N. &amp; his Al Qaida donors - like &quot;Mr. Doodad Pro&quot; &amp; all those other illegal foreign donors pouring $$$ into Obama&#039;s campaign?</description>

		<description>For the record, I was against starting the War in Iraq, at least during the prelude to actual fighting. I felt that we had Saddam contained and he wasn&#039;t a threat, so there was no reason for taking him out at the time. That said, we know he HAD WMD&#039;s, what was done with them we&#039;ll probably never know. He used them on his own people, we destroyed many of them after Desert Storm, and there was no accounting for what happened to the rest of them. Now, if Iran becomes a secular Islamic democracy, Bush deserves much of the credit because of what has happened in Iraq. The Iranian people are educated and aware of world events, unlike the North Koreans, and can see with their own eyes what is happening right next door to them. As far as Obama, I am undecided about whether he is right about being low key with regard to his statements about Iran. There may be things going on behind the scenes that I do not know about, he may genuinely believe that being too strong with his words will hurt the Iranian cause, or he may be out of his league. At this point, I just don&#039;t know. Do you think he can have a reset button made in Farsi without screwing it up?</description>

		<description>Mike, if you haven&#039;t already noticed, wheeler&#039;s cat&#039;s feline urinary tract infection is nuttier than the O&#039;Henry bar. I think we should start calling it &lt;i&gt;Toys in the Attic&lt;/i&gt; from now on - who&#039;s with me?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;FYI Mike, the Iranians took hostages because Carter gave the Shah shelter in America. They feared Operation Ajax II.&lt;/i&gt;

Does this loon know any history ? When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, they interned US diplomats until they were exchanged. The actions of Iran in 1979 have not been seen since Attila the Hun but the loon apparently thinks this is how nation states act.

It really is amazing to see the working of the leftist mind. If you can call it that.</description>

		<description>The Bush Doctrine has nothing to do with wmds...what are you Sarah Palin? lol
The BUsh Doctrine is &quot;democracy&quot; promotion in MENA.
And it is an Epic Fail, since Iraq is just another Islamic state.</description>
