2. "election is historical marker" (Iraq)-for our policy--did I hear him
right. His main concern is our policy--not so much at that Iraqi are free.

5. I should have said "WH" policy--not "our" policy. I hate the
thought that Bush speaks to the world in our name!!!!

8. Was there ever any doubt?
The sad irony is both sides will be much worse off when all is said and done.

4. "Democracy = Peace"
According to the chimp.

That must mean that we're at war because we aren't a democracy. Sometimes the truth slips out at these press events.

6. And how Iraq will be
Under OCCUPATION by a FOREIGN ARMY, under MARTIAL LAW, holding FREE ELECTIONS.

Which shows how much bush actually knows about freedom & democracy.

21. Darn you all!!!
Freedom is on the march, they hate us for our freedom, why do you all hate God, the US and the military????? Don't you know that only 4 provinces out of 18 (holding 42% of the population, BTW) are not going to be able to hold elections? (sarcasm)

Seriously, if the elections were held, and Iraq calmed down, and our soldiers started coming home, I would be very happy. I don't want to see Iraq in a civil war. But when the Commander in Chief has his head firmly planted in the sand, what is the hope for this??? I read today (somewhere, sorry) that he does NOT want his staff to give him any bad news about Iraq, so he obviously does not know what is going on there.

27. A word-salad isn't supposed to make sense.
We are just supposed to get a warm and fuzzy feeling whenever we hear the words "democracy", "freedom", "God". The heart-warming ingredients of the word-salad. It makes everything OK. (bitter sarcasm)
