The only people who could actually get us to ponder leaving [entirely] are the Russian President and the Chinese Premier and it would probably take a joint effort.

These fuckin' neo-liberal clowns, including Murtha, Kerry, Billary, and Reid, not to mention the neoconservative cabalists, can talk about drawing down troop levels until they are blue in the face. We have ZERO plans to leave. We will be there in perpetuity...or at least until every cubic meter of oil and natural gas has dried up from Tel Aviv to Kandahar.

Sure, we may draw down, but bet on the fact that we will have our 10-15 permanent military bases (fortresses) staffed until the total exhaustion of regional fuel sources.

If we cut our forces to just 20,000 to 30,000 troops and have them holed up in our bases supported by air power have WE accomplished anything? Should we feel encouraged? Don't be silly.

Wake up. We held our troops in Saudi for 12 years. We are in Iraq until the oil/gas is gone. We will all grow old and die with our forces serving as a constant irritant to Arabs/Persians.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.": Joseph Goebbels was born in 1897 and died in 1945.

We have unfinished business w/ Karl Rove and associated other Bush Admin. neanderthals. Let's not get caught up in their misdirection play. What can we do to demand MSM coverage of Rove's crimes and the larger issues, namely abuse of power and the treason of deceiving a nation and its people into war?

We need to grind this SCOTUS nomination talk to a halt. I suppose a national strike would be better received at the European Tribune, so how about a SCOTUS discussion strike? Time to write LTEs on the hour every hour to every network and print source to demand answers regarding Rove and the related larger crimes against our Nation and its people?

Fellow Boos, let's light the blogosphere on fire w/ this singular question... what are the means that we the people have at our disposal to direct the news cycle back to the Rovian and Bushian crimes?

Any bright ideas out there?

HERE

Below are excerpts for those of you who have vowed to never return to the land of "reality-based" apparatchiks:

To get the ground rules straight around here...Is it true that no topics are taboo? Is it true that one may throw out a discussion point here, even without irrefutable evidence, and can expect an honest dialogue, free from the scorn and hateful screeds so common on BT's more popular competitor? Can one simply pose an question here and expect to be engaged intelligently by other posters with the intent to inform not deride?

Is it OK then to assume that a frank discussion of US Policy vis-a-vis Israel is acceptable and even encouraged and won't incur the wrath of the AIPAC dominated wing of the Democratic Party? Are the anti-semitic police not afoot here, spuriously alleging anti-semitism when it is not warranted in an attempt to stifle any honest debate about Israel?

Is it OK here to explore the potentially traitorous actions of our current administration? Or will suggestions of nefarious activity on the part of BushCo, be met with prolonged ridicule and name-calling?

If this site allows dialogue of this nature, I'm happy to have made the Kosover and I'm starting to feel better already. Thanks.
