Of course I saw the clip with 10 soldiers inches away from him. How did they fit that many soldiers in a four mile area to begin with? The Green Zone was what they called it. Good article

It was one of my favourite places in Baghdad. In fact, I knew every twist and turn and corner of the place, including my favourite carpet smugglers who used to have very fine Persian carpets at very good prices (after a good deal of pleasurable haggling over numerous glasses of tea, of course). Usually I went by myself, or with one or two friends or family members. Sometimes I took with me the driver or a maid to help carry things. Never - not once - did I ever EVER need any kind of security guard whatsoever. I took so much for granted then. This government is destroying not only the country of Iraq, but all my good memories.

McCain thinks that in order to win the presidency, that he has to be a water carrier for the Bushies. With any luck, McCain will be denied the presidency again. To show how far this hypocrisy goes, whe Karl Rove was in Troy, AL at Troy University, someone asked about his smear campaign against McCain in 2000. Rove got indignant and denied that he had ever done such a thing. Which we all know is a flat-out lie. So McCain thinks he has to whore himself for this administration to win the Republican nomination and-God help us-maybe the presidency. He sounds like a "loyal Bushie" to me. Go figure.

If they don`t, and the fleet sails away, then no doubt the arabs will unite and eradicate the "troops/mercenaries/gladiators" that are currently in Iraq. If they attack Iran, then the Iranians have enough missiles to take out a few carriers, and then some. Either way, the empire should be worth nothing within a few months. It is over, done, finito. Mc Cain and all the other trough-feeding slimeball whacko fuck heads are head-in-the-sand populist charlatans. Good luck, America. Tough shit, and hard times are coming, but I guess you all know that. Well, the pundits say that America will attack Iran this friday.
