July 2, 200420 yr The last time I heard those facts were out out of that nut Coulter claiming that nothing was going wrong in Iraq. I see this was done in Febuary by those polls.
July 2, 200420 yr I think this would be really awesome if it were happening in America. We're cutting budgets for schools all over the country, but at least the Iraqis get to have a bunch of new ones! :plain

We're doing a lot of relatively great stuff...I mean, it is hard to do worse than Saddam. However, this has nothing to do with the motives of war, and personally I do not think it was about the oil...but this doesn't prove that.
July 3, 200420 yr It means a hell of a lot. I am the next incarnation of Jesus, so if I take his word, isn't logical if everyone does?
July 4, 200420 yr It's a good thing Bush ran in 2000 under the platform for not "nation building." I would hate having to see innocent young americans die for school desks. GWB the ultimate flip flopper. 500,000 Average increase in the daily number of oil barrels produced Cheney: "I'm Rich Biatch" :burns:
