Do they? I don't really know, in any case this has nothing to do with my question.

Ending the slaughter of Iraqis by slaughtering Iraqis makes as much sense as the Corp of Engineers solving a flooding problem on a river by damming it and creating a lake.

Don't worry about Iran. Turkey wants Iraq.

So, you think it makes a lot of sense?

I was adding to your point in reference to the quote you had responded to.

It would actually make sense to drain the excess water to another area. Not surround the flood in order to maintain the problem; the flood.

That's true if a flood is already in progress, but dams can be very effective as part of a long-term flood control strategy.

I would say that the flood is already in progress with regard to the state of Iraq.

Or we could have done as Ron Paul advised in 2008: Just leave.

In the case of Iraq, would it have really been so terrible? In the case of Afghanistan, fine go kill Bin Laden, then get out. But get out already!

If Bush gets tried, judged and found guilty by the American people for starting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, how on earth can the same people actually celebrate Obama's aggressive actions in Libya? If you succeed quickly, then war is a a wonderful thing, but if it's a long drawn out affair, it's evil?

Obama didn't just pick up where Bush left off, he intensified our attacks in both countries. The fact that he was more than happy to intervene in Libya is just added proof that he's a warmonger, ready and willing to throw US troops into the fray at the slightest whim. Democrats need to figure out what their real identity is: Warmongers or agents of love and peace. The evidence does not support them being the latter.

If she does want it, the slot is all hers.
i just do not think she is at all interested. I don't care what one article said...
