11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.
        \_ When we fight with Red China, what nation will we use as a proxy?

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

E MAIL THIS STORY 'Freedom fries' pollie in U-turn From correspondents in Washington June 13, 2005 A PROMINENT politician, who prompted cafeterias in the US Congress to cha nge the name of their french fries to "freedom fries" in anger over Fran ce's opposition to the Iraq war, has now turned against the conflict. Representative Walter Jones wants a firm schedule on the withdrawal of US troops. The North Carolina Republican has written more than 1300 letters of condo lence to the families of soldiers killed in Iraq. He will introduce legislation this week calling for a firm timetable on t he withdrawal of US troops. "This is what I believe is the right thing to do for our military first; and secondly, I think we are doing everything we can do in Iraq to give them an opportunity to have a democracy, to defend themselves," he said on US TV program This Week. richmedia=yes&site=news&section=breakingnews&adsize=300x250&p agepos=1 President George W Bush's administration has refused to set a timetable for withdrawing its forces from the war-torn country. Asked about his change of heart on the war, Mr Jones said he had attended the funeral of a soldier, a married father of three, who was killed in Iraq two years ago. "That really has been on my mind and my heart ever since. "When I look at the number of men and women who have been killed - it's a lmost 1700 now, in addition close to 12,000 have been severely wounded - and I just feel that the reason of going in for weapons of mass destruc tion, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all bee n proven that it was never there. In March 2003, just before the US-led invasion of Iraq, Representative Bo b Ney, chairman of the committee on House Administration, ordered that t he term "french fries" be removed from all restaurant menus in the three House office buildings and replaced with freedom fries. Mr Jones joined Mr Ney in taking the action, issuing a joint statement sa ying: "This action today is a small, but symbolic effort to show the str ong displeasure of many on Capitol Hill with the actions of our so-calle d ally, France."
