Re:Commentaries

Absolutely amazing and disgusting. If you are a democrat, everything &quot;the other guys&quot; do is wrong. If you are a republican, everything &quot;the other guys&quot; do is wrong. Where are some Americans? <br><br>89% of the Americans polled agree the war was necessary. Does that mean that Hollywood and the Democrats only make up 11% of our nation? Strange people, polititions and Hollywood.<br><br>ShuttingUpBeforeHeGetsWoundUpAnd InTroubleWithTheBigGuyBob

All people whom I really trust (sarcasm). : : Especially Robin Williams. Nothing better to base your political opinions on than the ramblings of an uneducated, recovering coke addict (more sarcasm).

Re:Commentaries

The pity is that once Iraqi's are free and self governing, all these &quot;heroes&quot; of ours will &quot;forget&quot; their statements, go into denial, and claim victory was only achieved through their self sacrificing efforts. What's even worse, when it comes time to evict these individuals from office at election time, they will get away with their proclamations. Just remember, some of them have presidential aspirations. Remember, Remember.<br><br>~Dave

That is almost as scary as wondering what if Gore had won the last presidential election!
