POPSIraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki demands US withdrawal timetable Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish MP, said that the issue of immunity for US forces had become a particularly sensitive subject for Iraqis. “We have suffered so much from immunity. Immunity equals committing crimes. In the name of immunity they have killed people, they have their own prisons, they captured Iraqis. We can’t continue like this,” he said.

POPSIGNORANCE RULES! I am so tired of hearing how the ignorant population rule. The real question should be... Why are so many Americans unknowledgeable? In today's world, that is beyond a disgrace, especially in a rich country. Leave no child behind, MY FOOT! Hillary has lost so much respect, because of her winning at all cost, strategy. She is playing with those who possess little ability to decipher the information hurled in all directions, so afraid their fragile reality will topple if truth is exposed to them. Playing with them the same way big balls mcgraw, Karl Rove did and still does. She's even (sort of) flirted with the likes of Rove! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTGbI8pzvqk :shock: Are we, once again, going to have a president elected by the unenlightened and unread? Those in the Hillary political category are banking on it. But I, for pity's sake, sure as hell, HOPE NOT!. No joke, we can't afford it to happen again, our very existence depends on it!! :-?

POPSHillary's Seeds of self-destruction But it’s an insult to white voters as well, including white working-class voters. It’s true that there are some whites who will not vote for a black candidate under any circumstance. But the United States is in a much better place now than it was when people like Richard Nixon, George Wallace and many others could make political hay by appealing to the very worst in people, using the kind of poisonous rhetoric that Senator Clinton is using now.

POPSBritish Tout Their Iraq Exit Model More: Arguing that Basra can serve as a model, British officials have begun to make their case with more intensity as their withdrawal has gained speed. "Can the U.S. draw some lessons from what we've done?" asked the British military official. "If we allow the Iraqis to . . . take a little risk and we have levels of violence they can control, maybe we don't need to hold on quite so long." But a person should take notice that the British aren't building permanent bases in Iraq so their intent has always been to give Iraq back to the Iraqis. The U.S. on the other hand..........

POPS Members of Congress That Preach Defeat
The continual droning in Congress about the Iraq War and the need for the United States to declare defeat and impeach the judgment of President George W. Bush and our top military commanders, such as General David Petraeus, highlights a deficiency in Congress which rarely is addressed. Only 29% of current United States Senators and 23% of Representatives have served in a branch of the United States Armed Forces. These numbers are down from 1991, the height of the Persian Gulf War, when 68% of Senators and 48% of Representatives had served. After the 2008 election the proportion is likely to decrease again in view of retirements. This is particularly true of those, like Senator John S. McCain III R, who have served in combat. The exception to this statement would be Representative John “Jack” Murtha D, Chairman of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, who currently is busy paying off his campaign donors with special earmarks that he has no time to be distracted by the Iraq War

POPSIRAQ VETERANS RESPOND TO RUSH LIMBAUGH One of those phony soldiers, Jon Soltz took Limbaugh to task right quick, posting a fiery response on HuffingtonPost.com: "...just recently, members of the 82nd Airborne in Iraq wrote a New York Times op-ed, very critical of the course in Iraq, and suggesting it was time to figure out the exit strategy. Two of them just died. Will Rush call up their grieving parents and tell them that they should stop crying, because they were just 'phony soldiers?'

POPSBush defends Petraeus re. MoveOn.org Among Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut voted against the resolution. Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Barack Obama of Illinois didn't vote. It speaks volumes that the only way criticism of Bush & his ilk can get into the media, is by purchasing ad space in the paper. "I felt like the ad was an attack, not only on Gen. Petraeus, but on the U.S. military," Bush said. Is this a prelude to silencing opposing voices by saying its an attack on the military?

POPSSenate votes to condemn free speech Wow, you would think they would have more important issues to debate! What a waste of time and tax dollars! I may not agree with what it said, but doesn't our constitution give them the right to say it? I guess not anymore! Even freedom of speech is up for debate in this regime!

POPSBush's Exit Strategy The Rapture..invented in 1802 by Darby..! The Rapture is a cult device invented by Darby in 1802 and a heresy of real scripture that bush believes in and sees himself in a Messianic role to bring on Armageddon and thus The so called Rapture where all Republicans and Dallas Cowboy fans go to Heaven and Jam with Elvis, and everyone else stays and pays for his Wars..and Heresy..!
