So you think little of our old allies. GWB said to heck with them when he decided to invade. So why will GWB now try to cajole them into helping to pay to police GWB's mess in Iraq?



Why not? Hell, those sumbitches (France, Germany, and Russia) all want a piece of Iraq rebuilding, so what's so wrong about asking for military and police help?

I say we're doing them a favor by letting them in, so they should automatically help US out, GWB shouldn't have to ASK them.

[censored] approval. Good luck getting 35+ countries to TOTALLY without a doubt approve of one thing, especially when you've got the Russians and Germans involved. Ain't gonna happen. You'll always have a few morons sitting in the 'against' section no matter what you do.

I repeat, if they want to make money off of Iraq, they better send us some help. They didn't wanna spend it, but are sure quick to come and ask for it after we've done the dirty work. So, for that, F U Germany and France.

You'd tell American taxpayers to pay for YEARS of supporting a coming shaky regime in Iraq while we're running Bush's budget deficits, the baby boomers are starting to retire, and let's give another tax cut to the rich.



I'll gladly pay for Iraq and social security, but honestly, I bet you could find a couple hundred federal programs that could be cut and we wouldn't notice a difference. That's what I want, and that's how I'd like for us to cut down the deficit.

Look at the economy now, you honestly don't think those 'taxcuts to the rich' had nothing to do with it?
