I cold not take it.. I had to flip the channel. Joy loves Hillary and so does Rosie. They may be thinking they are going to get a position in her cabinet. Poor Elizabeth, how does she go on that show daily?

But now we are finding out that that "secular" image was largely false, and that the country - like all the other Muslim countries - is a hotbed of religious fanaticism, clericalism, sectarianism, and tribalism.

Oh bullcrap! Any nation would be a hotbed of sectarianism if outside forces were pouring in money, weapons and fighters to build up the sects. If we destroy the radical forces right now like Sadr and tell Iran and Syria to stay the hell out or else look to the skies for incoming Tomahawks, Iraq WOULD be able to stand on its own two feet.

I have a problem that she purposely found a man to impregnate herself so she could raise a child without a father. I would have less of a problem if the father is someone she knows, and if he will be involved in raising the child, but I still would have a problem with a deliberate decision to conceive and raise a child without a loving, two-parent biological family.

Yes, if a woman gets pregnant, I want her to have the child and raise it as a loving mother -- but that's a different question than whether she SHOULD have gotten pregnant.

While it is easy to agree that a child is better with a biological mother than with no family at all, that determination starts with the existance of the child.

The question of whether a woman should deliberately conceive a child is another issue entirely. I don't happen to believe that the best thing in the world would be if every woman on the planet spent their entire reproductive lives pregnant popping out children every 9 months.

Meaning that I don't think HAVING new children is itself the noblest goal of life. Since I don't believe that, I can say that Mary Chaney was selfish in forcing a child to be brought into the world without a loving biological family unit.

It is the same correct argument made by Dan Quayle about single mothers.

I have no doubt Mary Chaney will be a loving mother, at least if the baby is a girl (one has to wonder about lesbians who hate men being capable of properly raising boys to be men). I don't know if Mary is a man-hating lesbian.

IMO The War in Iraq has nothing to do with how we fought World War 11. We were fighting Germany and Japan and wiping out the Nazi Regime killing it's leader Hitler.
Nazi's ran for the hills when they knew they lost. Japan knew they were to surrender has they had no chance after we bombed them in Nagasaki.

Fighting in Iraq or the Middle East will be never ending because as a people they are not from a civilized mind set
Radical Islam is in many countries and the way they think about the USA, ALLAH DEATH makes them want to fight indefinetly.
Israel has been trying to work with the ARAB/MUSLIM world for eons and still they have no PEACE.

Fighting in the Middle East is nothing like past wars again IMO because so many Muslims are hell bent on destroying the western world and thousands are not afraid to die for the cause.

They are even training the next generation of potential Jihadists to become suicide bombers.

I believe only moderate Muslims if they rise up with enough cajone's will be able to bring some sort of Peace to Iraq and hopefully to the Middle East.

Blessings..

Nope .. it's more about controlling the conversation to avoid getting into topics she doesn't want to discuss

She does that alot

So I guess that's why she is on the view instead of talking to reporters. It looked like a bunch of naives being controlled by THE EVIL QUEEN OF CLUBS. I hope all the ladies checked to see if their purses were still there after she left.

I totally agree. Despite the image of chaos in Iraq, everybody answers to somebody over there. Sectarian leaders could stop most of the violence in a short time. The prime minister leans too far toward the Shiites and alienates the Sunnis. I'm not saying they need a new dictator but they need someone who will pressure both factions with the threat of armed force or being excluded from the government. And as you say, we need to go after Iran and Syria. We could start by aiding the dissidents in both those countries.

Having to fence with the press is a pointless exercise.

But you know, if he issued a press release, the pack-mentality-press headlines would all say that he was afraid to take questions.

So, you would then have had us look the other way in WWII when Hitler was gassing the Jews because he didn't like them? How can you call that government moderate when it tortured and killed thousands of its own people?

When Saddam gassed his people, he was our guy against the Iranians. Didn't seem to bother us then, in fact, according to Senate investigations, we seem to have sold Saddam the means.

Using your anology, we would have been content to arm Hitler and tolorate his murder of millions of jews as long as he did our fighting for us.

When they were on their way (by all accounts at the time) to having nuclear weapons and refused, FOR YEARS, to allow the UN in to verify their compliance?

The US government knew who Saddam was when his scientists were invited to a conference on Nuclear weapons detonation.

The detonation conference. In 1989, the Pentagon and the Department of Energy invited three Iraqis to attend a "detonation conference" in Portland, Oregon in August. Financed by American taxpayers, the meeting brought together experts from around the world to explain to the Iraqis how to produce shock waves in any desired configuration. There were even lectures on "H.M.X.," the high explosive of choice for nuclear detonation, and on flyer plates, used to help produce the precise shock waves needed to ignite A-bombs. The UN found both H.M.X. and flyer plates at Iraq's main nuclear weapon development site. The three Iraqis who attended the conference came from the laboratory that provided parts for Iraq's first high explosive nuclear detonator. Testimony of Gary Milhollin, Before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs October 27, 1992

But putting all that aside, weapons inspectors were allowed back into Iraq and were doing their job when we invaded.

We have sowed the wind and are reaping the whirlwind.
