[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You sound like just another Shrill for the Leftist press. You can validate this liar all you want but it merely reveals your true nature.

When Europe was LIBERATED fom the clutches of Fascism, it took more than 5 years to restore a functioning government that would handle the transition to democracy, which still stands today. (although threatened)

Your expectations, that just 1 year after the initial liberation, Iraq should be completely functional, is nothing more than defeatism.

This is a common ploy here, if one does not agree or thinks for theirself, "why you must be a liberal". Big government IS liberal.

I support our Armed forces deployed in Iraq and everywhere. Mistakes cause deaths, yes those body bags and coffins that our General Officers go to meet in Dover and we are not allowed to see and honor.

I am a fiscal conservative watching the biggest government expansion since LBJ, a favorite of ASST Sec Wolf, go see his Cspan archived talk at Georgetown recently.

Namecalling is counterproductive to any discussion.
