POPSIraq Cabinet Approves Removal of US troops Still, Kevin Drum argues that sticking to the deal would be good for Obama: since this essentially makes his decision to withdraw into a bipartisan agreement. After all, conservatives can hardly complain about Obama following a timetable that was negotiated and approved by Bush. Obama has enough on his plate already, and taking this issue off the table ought to be a considerable relief to him. Hmmm, maybe. But it wouldn't go down well with many progressives who expect Obama to stick to his promises to America before he sticks to Bush's promises to Iraq.

POPSIraqi Cabinet Approves Security Agreement Keeping Our Troops In Iraq Until 2011
In a crucial development, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most influential Shiite cleric in Iraq, indicated on Saturday that he would support whatever decision is arrived at in Parliament as representative of the will of the Iraqi people. Shiite officials who met with the ayatollah said he found the latest draft acceptable, if not perfect; Ayatollah Sistani also made clear that he did not side with politicians who refused any agreement with the United States out of hand. Now, what will happen to Obama’s claim that his plans for a quick drawdown of troops was in agreement with the Iraqi leadership? AMMAN (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Tuesday he was committed to a 16-month timetable for a U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, after a trip in which he met Iraqi leaders and U.S. officials. http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL0236543520080722?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews

POPSWelcome to the new Sunday 'World of the Global Citizen' America, as most of us have known it, is over. We have tied ourselves to sinking Europe, our declared/undeclared enemies, and the 3rd world countries. They will suck us dry of our resources and wealth and there will be nothing left to *liberally* share with those in need. It will be demanded and siphoned away.

POPSArmistice Day November 11, 1918 The armistice was formally signed in Foch's railway carriage on 11 November (in 1940 Hitler exacted revenge by forcing the French to sign an armistice - on German terms - in the same railway carriage). The armistice initially ran for 30 days but was regularly renewed until the formal peace treaty was signed at Versailles the following year. Should the Germans have deviated in any way from the terms of the armistice the Allies warned that a resumption of hostilities would begin within 48 hours. The terms of the armistice required the Germans to evacuate German-occupied territories on the Western Front within two weeks. Allied forces were to occupy the left bank of the Rhine within a month, and a neutral zone established on the right bank.

POPS'Jerks' took Africa comments out of context: Palin "those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional" after the crap and innuendo she cast to the winds. The politician is nought but a hypocrite and not a very bright one. Back to your cave.

POPSObama offers Poland no commitment on missile plan Certain "experts in the Defense Dept....". Start building the system; that doesn't preclude the idea of "testing". Of course, if he wants to "redistribute the wealth" around the US AND the World, I can see where he might have a problem....though he doesn't seem to have a problem raising $$$ for things like election and inauguration. However, Europe needs to be doing a lot of the financing.

POPSSplit Over Russia Grows in Europe, Re: Missiles. Georgia
Russia moving up missiles to their border with Poland (in response to the USA missile base being built there) is no joke. The Russians have also said they have re-targeted their nukes to aim at European cities. This is no joke. Russia is right, imo, and it won't backdown. It can't let a warmongering nation like the U.S. A. put a nuke missile base right on it's border. This is like the Cuban missile crisis of the 60's, except the shoe is on the other foot - and full-tilt nuclear war was threatened. Is anybody in Europe reading this news? What are they going to do? I think hundreds of thousands of their lives are in danger and don't hear much talk or anything be done about it? Obama won't do anything on his own. (long story) IMO, if the people in Europe don't stop this U.S. missile base nobody else will and they are in grave danger. The missile base in Poland, btw, -- for the real joke...the USA claims is to protect against nuke missiles from Iran That mak

POPSMorals vs. Liberty Thomas Davidson expressed it this way: "That which is not free is not responsible, and that which is not responsible is not moral. In other words, freedom is the condition of morality." An interesting perspective that morality inevitably reduces liberty, yet without the liberty to choose, one cannot be moral.
