Yes, yes, now how about that fatal fire that's raging on Capitol Hill?

They're not Americans, so it doesn't matter.

This isn't a surprise. This is an accident-- getting caught red-handed.

Well, Mr. Bush has to get that region destabilized while he still has a chance. Pakistan, check. Syria, check. Iran? Don't be surprised.

No, it will strengthen McCain as it reminds us that we need a president who will not be afraid of carrying a big stick.

Meanwhile, 50,000 voter registrations purged in Georgia. Similar actions are taking place in Florida, and Republican operatives are instigating a court case in Wisconsin to purge rolls there one week before the election. Meanwhile the Bush Justice Department eyes intervention in Ohio after Republican Rep. John Boehner requests Federal assistance following the Supreme Court's finding against his party's claims that Ohio Secretary of State was required to conduct such a purge.

Surprises and shenanigans!

Yeah, this is about the stupidest thing from a strictly political standpoint that the Republicans could have done right now--expand the scope and scale of the war to other nations. Well done, Bush.

Jesus fuck that's dumb. i hope meeting with Syria is in Obama's top 10 list. they don't need to be our enemies. Assad went to college in Amurka, for fuck's sake.

I wouldn't advocate military attacks, but Syria is a long, long way from being our friend, wherever Assad went to college. His regime is as brutal as any on earth, and his support for terrorists is unequivocal.

fnarf, i'm saying that with Assad Jr. we at least have a chance of reaching an accomodation that de-escalates ME tensions. with Assad Sr. we didn't have a shot.

i didn't say friend. i said not our enemy.

1. Tell us the facts. A) Is Syria letting Al Q militants get access to Iraq? B) Has Obama condemned this attack?

2. If yes, and no, STFU.

We're against dumb use of force, not against all use of force, remember? Like Obama said visa-vis Pakistan.

And scream out to the world
I know I am someone
And let the truth unfurl
No one can hurt you now
Because you know what's true
Yes, I believe in me
So you believe in you

Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
Ma ma se, ma ma sa,
Ma ma coo sa

Never underestimate the America-hating Red Bushies like McSame and Cheney's desire to drag us into even more unnecessary wars and unwinnable conflicts.

If they could get away with launching nukes, they would.

Maybe they already did and now we're all living in an alternate universe.
