How many of you supporting Bush's war have given their blood for their Commander in Chief and country? Who of you even has a dear friend or relative laying their life on the line day in and out in Iraq? Anyone? Just what I thought. Just like your war mongering President, always willing to spill someone else's blood, as long as it isn't your. Cowards!

Obama Oschlama...!

I'm for Kucinich, and then I am gonna stop voting period forever..until after WWIII and the Revolution...!

It's so interesting how few of these people can manage a simple "yes"/"no".

Look into Mike Gravel

Let's come to an understanding this war is not going to end under Bush, and very probably not under who ever the next President is. There is far too much at stake. Control of oil, money for contractors, money for re-elections, middle east turmoil to push oil over $100 a barrel, power of the DC coven.
The only thing which will stop this is when an event occurs which rocks Mom and Pop America. Like Kent State, there was unrest, there were demonstrations, there was a growing unease about the war, but when the kids at Kent State were shot by the National Guard we reached the gag level.
My question is what do we all think the gag level is?
It sure isn't lying by the govt.
It sure isn't pissing away a trillion dollars.
It sure isn't being ignored by the people we elected.
It sure isn't 3700 dead soldiers
It sure isn't 35,000 maimed and mutilated soldiers.
It sure isn't up to 500,000 dead Iraqi's.
It sure isn't 2 million refugees living in surrounding countries.
It sure isn't New Orleans being laid waste.
It sure isn't pissing away $300 to $400 billion unaccounted for after Katrina.
It sure isn't placing incompetent religious zealots in positons of power in the federal government.
It sure isn't the refusal of Cheney, Rice, Miers et al from obeying supeona to testify.

Help me out here where is our gag reflex

Why doesn't someone ask Obama if he still thinks bombing Iran is an option?

Another Huffpo Obama slant- let's see- we give Obama a question by Charlie Rose -with lots of follow up etc. Six minutes- Hillary Clinton gets a question by a comedian who makes his living slamming politicians -She gets -hmm a minute? way to go Huffpo-

Jesus, what is with the way Obama talks now? The reason I liked him at all in first place was because of how well he could speak and outline a vision. Now that he's a candidate and has dozens (hundreds?) of advisers telling him what to say, he sounds terrible.

Every time... that he is on TV... he always... has to talk... like this... as if... he has to think... for a few seconds... about every phrase... that he says.

No wonder he's been stuck at 20some% in the polls all year. By the time he gets done with a thought, there's been so many pregnant pauses I can't remember wtf he's talking about.

defund the war defend the war defund the war the consitution allows you demos to refuse to fund this illegal war.

this is not rocket science refuse to fund the war quit playing politics and refuse to fund the war.

support our troops is a lame excuse to keep this war going so demos can win big in nov 2008 and lets bush go down in history as a pres that did not lose a war and lets the repubs satisfy thier industrial lobbyists.

shock and awe getting out of iraq instead we build military bases there. imperialism.

the suckers: americans that still believe in a two party system. both corrupt with greed and power.

final note start a movemment to impeach nancy and reid.

As I see it, Obama's answers reflected a thoughtfulness and depth currently missing in the nation's leadership.

Rose asked for a realistic estimate of the number of troops that will be present in Iraq "when the next president takes office in January of 2008."

January of 2008??? Holy resignations, Batman! Did Rose misspeak, or does he know something the rest of us don't?

Senator Obama has the plan, has the determination, has the brain power, he will stands up to Bush and the rest of the neo - cons. He has the direction and above all he did not vote for the "Bushmans war".

We have 5 Dem. senators who voted for this horrible mistake in our history they should not be allowed to run for President, they damn well should not get our nomination for it. This is Bush's war period. (per Harry Ried) The responsibility for the war will be left with George Bushfor all to see.

As usual Obama, like Hillary, mentions the withdrawal of "combat" troops...Does anyone care to ask what's the plan for the "non-combat" troops, what's their number, the long-term strategy? Obama mentionned previously the need to "protect American interests" in the region, Clinton mentionned that many Americans working there needed protection (so they're staying for good?) Why let them get away with the small print subclauses, enough smoke, what's their longterm strategy in the region, when will they really end the occupation?

" Beelzebul---
Liberals are traitors to the USofA. God Bless Old Glory, and God Bless President Bush."

Hey Beelzebul: My name is Thomas Brown. My email address is bardophile@cavtel.net. I live in Baltimore MD. Write me for where you can meet me and TELL ME I'M A TRAITOR TO THIS COUNTRY TO MY FACE. I fucking dare you, you chickenshit cocksucker. I am sick of your bullshit. I'll meet you anytime. I am not afraid of you Bush-asshole-kissing wingnuts. Come on. Bring it. Or shut the fuck up.

My vote for the next President will go to the candidate that is in favor of prosecuting Bush for war crimes and any others that are prosecuteable as soon as the criminals become private citizens.

Baghdad Does Look Good to the Corporatocracy

Big Oil, a key player in the Corporatocracy that operates America for its own benefit, purposefully destroyed Iraq in order to seize its oil. The seizure was spun as "bringing democracy to Iraq." When Iraq's territory has been secured, U.S. military forces will be brought home, leaving Big Oil's private armies to maintain the territory and protect the refineries.

The U.S. military destroyed Iraq's infrastructure, killed a million Iraqis, and chased 4 million from the country. Then Bechtel and others constructed several large fortresses on top of the Iraq oil sands.

The U.S. troops will eventually be reduced, and the private military contractors will take over the fortresses, using them as bases from which to enforce the Corporatocracy's plunder of the Iraqi oil.

Bush and Petraeus know that the foundation for this plan will only be complete in the spring of 2008. After that, some U.S. troops will return, but the private armies will remain.

The private armies serve Big Oil. No politician is even considering forcing Big Oil to bring its hired guns home
