Now why is it that the neo-cons, who are luckily less than 1/3 of the U.S. are so invested in pursuing the occupation of a country which has descended into chaos and civil war, at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives, which has no measurable security benefit to this country?
Hmmmmmmmmm... I wonder....
And I, for one, am not staunchly opposed to war, just this particular misadventure.
Welcome aboard, Bonnie.

Are you EVER going to get over using false percentages? Conservatives make up over half the country, and you know it as well as I do. It's proven every time they are galvanized to vote.
The 9/11 Commission Recommendations are about as useful as full-cavity searches at airports. If Bush had implemented them, you KNOW you'd be calling them ineffective, stupid, and just another Bush failure.
