I do not support the jackasses who get us into a war (police action) that benefits no one but the Military-Industrial complex. Wars that mean absolutely nothing to America. I am surprised with your being able to discern b.s. from anyone. You are in it up to your armpits if you buy anything that the Bush administration has been shoveling.

JJ - the AQ are alive and well. The only people who are running are the religious militants who are fighting each other. The Catholics and Protestants have been fighting since the Diet of Worms (in 1521) - do you think that Iraq is going to be any different?

Finally, someone else who "gets it". Too bad Randy, ripmondo, Russ, et al will forever remain too ignorant to understand anything requiring common sense and logic. All they can do is regurgitate their extreme left-wing liberal hate mongering garbage.

And of course Iraq has to be tossed into the fray for good measure! "Look at Iraq" one says. Well, last I checked the surge was working and AQ is on the run and the Iraqi parliament is making headway on political benchmarks even while they are out of session. Meanwhile OUR Congress is doing nothing but whine about their 12% approval rating...I wonder why?

Since you feel that the war in Iraq is just and proper, I suggest that you and all relatives 18-40 fly to Baghdad and join the war.

Mike wrote on August 27, 2007 02:51 PM: Just to clear things up a bit. The "Clinton economy" was mostly the result of the earlier Reagan tax cuts and the peace dividend, also a Reagan accomplishment. Supply side economics has been proven to work. Tax cuts bring in more revenue than tax increases because they lead to an expanding economy. The real challenge is how to allocate those revenues to the betterment of all. One more quick comment, the bottom half of income tax payers account for less than 2% of total revenues. A pretty good start I think.

ripmondo wrote on August 27, 2007 02:07 PM: Heidi is right about the Congress' responsibility. But we are talking about the Repub Congress under Bush.
I love how all the Repubs and Bush want to talk about fiscal responsibility after they needlessly got us into a trillion dollar war, gave tax cuts to millionaires, and spent money like there was no tomorrow.
now Bush wants to cut back on all the domestic programs. Lets see....a trillion dollars for a country with 24 million people.....less than one tenth of the US. Your money down the drain.
If you dont see this YOU ARE AN IDIOT. No two ways about it.
