		<description>What Obama  REALLY  said  &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

&#039;&quot;If you look at our position, it&#039;s been very consistent,&quot; he said. &quot;I am unwavering in the belief that this has been a strategic mistake and that this war has to end. It would be a further strategic mistake for us to continue with an open-ended occupation of the sort that John McCain has promised.&quot; 

Obama said his willingness to consider changing conditions on the ground and the potential ramifications of the pull-out plan was a strength -- and a sharp contrast to Republican President George W. Bush&#039;s stay-the-course strategy in Iraq. 

&quot;The tactics of how we ensure our troops are safe as we pull out, how we execute the withdrawal -- those are things that are all based on facts and conditions,&quot; he said. 

&quot;I&#039;m not somebody who, like George Bush, is willing to ignore facts on the basis of my preconceived notions. I want to pay attention to what is happening on the ground.&quot;

Under heavy pressure from McCain, who criticized his failure to visit Iraq since 2006, Obama plans to travel to Iraq and Afghanistan. The dates have not been announced for security reasons but the trip is expected within the next month.&#039;

The multi-nic’d ‘Regular’s, aka “James”, last post tonight seems to have been at 9:15 pm.

It was not an “All James, All Night, All BS show”.

Hmmmm  ...   Guess not,  Cosmos....   Sure  looked like it  might  be,  though...   oh  well,  Hallelujah!!!</description>

		<description>Boxlock,

The &lt;b&gt;multi-nic&#039;d &#039;Regular&#039;s&lt;/b&gt;, aka &quot;James&quot;, last post tonight seems to have been at 9:15 pm.

It was not an &quot;All James, All Night, All BS show&quot;.

And since the &quot;napping&quot; Hank still has not answered my question, maybe Boxlock can answer it?

		<description>It is very apparent, Box Head, that the only people that you care about are white, Christian conservatives. It is obvious that you consider America to be the &quot;Land of the Free&quot; only if you meet that criteria.

Your hypocrisy is stunning in it&#039;s depth and intensity.

I feel sorry for you - truly. I have no idea what made you such a bitter, hypocritical, judgmental person but your hatred of everything and everyone that doesn&#039;t meet your standards is disgusting.

You call yourself a devoted Christian, yet you are everything that Christ warned us about and everything that Christ was not.

You are the most un-Christlike Christian that I have ever witnessed.

I truly feel sorry for you.</description>

&quot;Well, I’m outta here for now…. looks like another All James, All Night, All BS show to me… Later…. maybe….&quot;

As they would say in the movie Poltergeist about Chas....&quot;HE&#039;LL BE BACK&quot;!!!
Ever notice how Chas leaves, BUT DOESN&#039;T?  He never does, he&#039;ll be up until &#039;3:something&#039; in the morning not able to leave, with nothing better to do than yield to his addiction to the the blog, trying to prove something, like maybe his worth.
Not the sign of a very confident, or at peace minister now is it?
Poor Chas...try and get a life Chas.
Ideal Chas, turn off the computer, go to bed, stay there, don&#039;t turn on the computer for the whole next day, try and contemplate your life and what it&#039;s value is and reflect on what you wish it were.  Then make changes.
Wish you the best, you need it.</description>

		<description>I always thought we should surrender, then when the other signatories came we could identify the enemy and kill them!
What would the conditions be? Would we have to take our marbles and go home, or better yet to Afghanistan? Could we keep soverignity of America, or would we have to leave that to Al Quida&#039;s rag tag band?
Discuss.</description>

		<description>No need to obfuscate, the liberal Democratic Party policies have killed hundreds of thousands right here at home due to gang violence predicated by keeping poor people cooped up in government housing and subject to “feed ya as we need ya” programs.

Libs lied, people died.
==================================================
Bush lied, a country was invaded and thousands died as well. But back on your little ditty: There were no poor prior to us trying to help them get a leg up? There were no gangs? No Ghettos? Yep, your right. It was a perfect world prior to the libs, wasn&#039;t it? 

Could it have been the failed policies of the republicans that led to the democrats calling for assistance for the poor? Seems to me there were a bunch of republican leaders calling for less police intrusion into the lives of people, because, God forbid, people who beat their wives and kids should have that God given right, right?

And don&#039;t even attempt to be poor in the old republican world. You would be run out of town, sent to jail, hounded until you jump off a bridge. Don&#039;t forget to send your pregnant daughter to a &quot;boarding school&quot;, so the neighbors don&#039;t find out she actually knows what sex is (the birds and bees thing didn&#039;t work out too well, did it). Or, better yet, take them to some back alley for a coat-hanger abortion. 

My point, reg, is BOTH parties screwed up, and neither has the huevos to correct the problems. So pontificate all you want, but the truth is you ain&#039;t got a clue as to what&#039;s really going on; only the crap people like rush, coulter and the rest tell you. It&#039;s the fourth of July weekend: Independence Day. Go back and reread the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You might have missed something in the third grade.</description>

&quot;&lt;i&gt;No need to worry about yellow cake then I guess.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;
-----------

The only people who need to &quot;worry&quot; about that yellow cake are the looters at Tuwaitha after the 2003 U.S. invasion, who dumped it out of the barrels.

And probably the people who bought those barrels for $2 each, to hold &lt;i&gt;drinking water&lt;/i&gt;, or to wash clothes.

And their families, and offspring. . .</description>

		<description>Pretty hypocritical of ya there James.

    &quot;Conserving&quot; that government aid to yourself?

     You live amazingly well on the dole. But a mind with as much as yours to share and your skills with a keyboard and monitor? I say you should be transitioned from welfare to work.</description>

		<description>&quot;You should stick with subject matter you know something about.&quot;

You should stick to dogs, Price, obviously you know nothing about Iraq.

By the way, IF this was some major proof of Saddam&#039;s intentions, wouldn&#039;t your Lord and Savior George WMD Bush take the time to interrupt his vacation to crow about &quot;proof&quot; of WMD?

Sorry, Price, but even George says that there were no WMD.

But, facts never meant anything to conservatives.</description>

typical con post:
The Great Society Programs of the 1960s, Welfare, Government housing and medicaid after 40 plus years are not only insolvent, but devoid of funds.

They have not reduced the poor, they have not solved the need for housing the poor and have not taken care of the medical needs of the poor.

Almost five decades of failed policies by the Liberal Democrats which have cost hundreds of thousands of lives in gang violence and perpetuating the ghetto models Libs so desperately seek to keep minorities in their place.
===============================================
. . . and that has what to do with the invasion of Iraq? Obfuscate, dude, it’s what you do best.
-----------------------------------------

No need to obfuscate, the liberal Democratic Party policies have killed hundreds of thousands right here at home due to gang violence predicated by keeping poor people cooped up in government housing and subject to &quot;feed ya as we need ya&quot; programs.

Libs lied, people died.</description>

The Bush Idiots (23% supporters) don’t even realize that the transer of the yellowcake from Iraq is BAD news for their position.

In 2003, Bush solemnly told us that Saddam had TRIED to purchase yellowcake from Niger to restart his nuclear program………

Why the Hell would he have had to “try” to purchase yellowcake from Niger if he already had 550 tons of it in his bedroom closet!?!?!?

Christ, what a bunch of morons.


Well, Clark, 

It only makes sense that the Sad Man would continue to try and obtain yellow cake.  It takes a lot of yellow cake to come up with pure UO3.  Then it takes a lot of UO3 to come up with 5% enriched U235 for reactors, even more if you are going for weapons grade 95% enriched U235.

Bush&#039;s exact words:

&quot;The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.&quot;

This is a true statement and the British Government still stands behind them.
