POPSGen. McPeak drops hammer on McCain foreign policy Ön Iraq: "his idea that all we have to do is execute better and this will turn into a big victory for us is wrong"; on not talking to Cuba and Iran: "This whole idea that diplomacy is attending cocktail parties with your best friends, that's kind of dumb."

POPSJimmy Carter: Make peace with Iran Bush has not seriously tried; his policy a "serious mistake and terrible departure" from the actions of previous US presidents (not to engage with countries with which they differed.)

POPSCarter: Israel has 150 nukes Given Israel's habit of invading others, is it any wonder other nations want to protect themselves? They are responsible to their people for national security, and see Israel (and the USA) as likely aggressors. And why shouldn't they, given recent history?

POPSUS: Cluster Bomb Ban would hurt "humanitarian work" Perhaps there'd be less of it to do! Rather than helping craft the treaty, US ducks the conference and criticizes - as do Russia and China, the other manufacturers of cluster bombs.

POPSRAND: 101,000 American casualties PER YEAR in Iraq/Afghanistan Time for outrage: Look what neocons and passive congresses have done to us! How can we write off responsibility for the deaths and wounds of half a millions Americans and live with no accountability whatsoever? How can we be so immoral as to shrug our shoulders and just elect someone else? Where is justice? (and we haven't even begun to touch the enormity of the losses to innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan.)
