Did he say "occupy" Iraq?
You can't fight a terrorist network that resides in 80 countries by occupying Iraq?

Is that what he said?

3. Thom Hartmann is going to be HAPPY tomorrow!
He's been saying for AGES that we have to stop calling
it a "war" and start describing it accurately: it's an
OCCUPATION.

13. Not me. I have been blown away by so many incredible

speeches these last 4 days. I don't think I will ever forget Michelle's, Hillary's, Bill's, Kerry's, Gore's, or Biden's. I haven't yet had a chance to watch Dennis online, but I plan to over the long weekend. I know I will be delighted by his, too.

This convention has had the best collection of speeches I have every heard in my life. One after another, they kept knocking them out of the park.

Obama was great, but so were the others. I think these folks successfully rebranded the Democrats in America's mind, finally shedding the pusillanimous mask that Karl Rove and his ilk tacked to the Democratic face that America thught it was seeing.

6. Nixon originally said occupy Saudi Arabia, but the DoD has tweaked the old plan

Document reveals Nixon plan to seize Arab oil fields
'70s embargo sparked 'last resort' measure, says British memo

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/01/02/MNG8G427D61.DTL

note the 'ten year' occupation Brit intel said was needed.

Keeping oil company profits high for ten years was the plan back then...it's the plan for McSame right now. Keep the occupation going for those profits (May 2003 to May 2013).
