		<description>If it weren&#039;t for three High Ranking Senators (I believe one was regrettably my own Schmucky Schumer) who lambasted the Iraqi Gov&#039;t&#039;s deal to give the contracts to American Oil Companies (BAD BIG OIL) we would have access to that oil now. But Chucky and his dem stooges, killed the deal and the oil contracts went to China. So any time you hear dems say why aren&#039;t the iraqis giving the Oil to US or our oil companies, say, DEM SENATORS, case closed.</description>

		<description>Dual Isreali/American citizenship? What in the world are you yammering about Rob? Been drinking the Clinton bong water? And who are you referring to? Palin because she has come out several times speaking of support for Isreal? America &amp; Isreal have been close allies since 1949. Biden agrees with Sarah that it is important to maintain America&#039;s ties with Israel. How about a link or something instead of just a fly-by obscure post? Are you saying you&#039;re anti-Semetic? 

Oh a couple of the things left out of the lists as to why we went into Iraq:
* To end the war and cease-fire status we had maintained since 1990
* To end the decade long OPERATION: NORTHERN &amp; SOUTERN WATCHES and it&#039;s continual high maintenance costs to our military forces so they could be finally freed up.

On a Fox interview with Donald Trump when the first bill was sent to the House a couple weeks back he did foresee that the financial crisis would spread to the rest of the world, but it would surprisingly stimulate our economy because gas prices would plummet because OPEC would be forced to reduce their artificially high prices. He suggested they could drop to $2 a gallon by November if the crisis continued. He also said that he expected that the bailout was only the tip of the iceberg and he expected further stock market problems but nothing serious. 

Why are we seeing more stock market corrections? And yes I said corrections. Two reasons; 

1) Because stocks have been artificially over-valued since the 1980&#039;s. Around that time they ceased reflecting companies&#039; &quot;actual worth&quot; at the time and became measurements of companies&#039; &quot;future worth&quot;. The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failures started a run on the banks by investors pulling their savings in panic. Without the cash deposits to back them up Lehman, Wacovia and the others banks&#039; crumbled. So why were investors pulling their money? That leads to number.. 

2) Obama won the DNC primaries beating out Hillary &amp; put his tax plan online. Watch the polls. When Obama&#039;s numbers go up, Wall Street numbers go down. Investors are hedging in case of an Obama win. So the logical basis for a bad economy being a plus for Obama as continuously touted by the media is fundamentally flawed. The wisest minds in Wall Street know an Obama win would spell doom for our economy, but Dems, the media, and Obama campaign have duped the American public into believing the exact opposite.</description>

		<description>I respectfully disagree, the real 1A and 1B are in fact

1A., to drain the swamp of terrorists in the region; ie, to draw terrorists into a fight against the US military and not the Springfield, Ohio police Department

1B., to create a bastion of democracy in the middle of a region plagued by tyranny and oppression…things that spawn terrorism

Do note how the various Arab governments know they they are now dealing with a democratically elected Iraqi government. The must scare the crap out of them. For the Iranians it is worse, firstly there will be a shift in Shia power from Iran to Iraq, and the people in Iran will see have happens in real elections. Expect clergy to be hanging from the lamp-posts when oil hits $40, as it will in about 2 weeks.

Bush played the long game.</description>

		<description>What do you Patriotards think about your masters having duel Israeli/American citizenship? In my book, I call an American Citizen who pledges allegiance to a country other than the USA a traitor. Maybe I&#039;m just more of a Patriotard than y&#039;all. Kind of strange that one can&#039;t become President without support from AIPAC don&#039;t ya think? Whatever you do, don&#039;t step out of &quot;Left vs. Right&quot; la la land illusion.</description>

		<description>Major oil companies, none of them U.S. owned, will bid on the oil rights. The U.S. does not have one oil company on the list of Major oil companies. Kind of puts democrat propaganda in the grave, doesn&#039;t it.</description>

		<description>If this was a War for Oil, I would think we would be getting a better deal than the OPPORTUNITY for some of our oil companies to BID on oil rights.  It couldn&#039;t possibly be that Iraq is a free and independent state that wants to sell it&#039;s natural resources like everyone else.   /sarc</description>
