that's how you inform yourself? eek. you're really self-selecting. sorry but that ain't enough. i use all three of the sources quoted above - but that's just the beginning of knowledge.

reminds me of one of the characters in the movie, "fargo" of course, that qualifies me now as one of the effete east coast/west coast commie/homo/jew/elitists that look down their noses at the booboosie.

so be it.

sorry but i'm not going to apologize any more. yes, i do want smart people in power who are curious and ask questions and aren't wedded to doctrine at the expense of pragmatism.

no, you're quite wrong about that. the 2002 document was a sharp break with US postwar foreign policy. it's not a question of "hey, we'll reply militarily to anyone who attacks us." this was a detailed document worked up to justify pre-emption. iraq, you may recall was only a year away at the time.

go look up the document. it's online

she's a frigging amateur. and mccain expects us to remain sanguine that she'd be a heartbeat away from the presidency? oh, yeah; i almost forgot: she's a "hockey mom." well, i guess she's qualified for the job then
