Frankly, I think the Iraqis are getting tired of this occupation. They're worse off than they were before.

Bill Vs. Barack
by Ryan Lizza May 5, 2008
On the Thursday before the Pennsylvania primary, Bill Clinton spoke to a crowd of college students at a gymnasium in Lock Haven. The event was typical of the stops—forty-seven of them—that the former President had made in the state during the seven weeks leading up to the vote. Lock Haven is a small town (pop. 9,000), hours away from Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, and the crowd was modest (half the gym’s floor space was empty). Within the campaign, Clinton’s enthusiasm for rustling votes in these remote corners was a source of amusement. When I asked what he was doing on Election Day, a Clinton campaign adviser said, “I think he’s leading a caravan of Wal-Mart greeters to the polls.”
On the stump, the former President dispensed idiosyncratic political analysis. “One of the reasons that she won Ohio that nobody wrote about,” he said, without explanation, “is that Ohio has a plant that produces the largest number of solar reflectors in America.” He offered commentary about his wife’s earlier limitations as a candidate: “I think Hillary’s become a much better speaker.” But, most of all, Bill Clinton talked about Bill Clinton:
The headquarters of my foundation is in Harlem. . . . My Presidential library and school of public service are in Arkansas. . . . I try to save this generation of children from the epidemic of childhood obesity. . . . I am working on rebuilding the Katrina area in New Orleans. . . . I have major global-warming projects in cities all around America. . . . Most of the time I am out in America on the streets. . . . I once gave a speech to a million people in Ghana.
When Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign was launched, in January, 2007, her supporters feared that Bill would overshadow her, as he had when they both spoke at the funeral of Coretta Scott King, a year earlier. Now the constant fear is that he will embarrass her. When he makes news, it is rarely a good day for his spouse. Whether he was publicly comparing Barack Obama’s primary victory in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s campaigns in the eighties or privately, and apoplectically, complaining that Bill Richardson broke his word by endorsing Obama, every story has seemed to reinforce an image of Clinton as a sort of ill-tempered coot driven a little mad by Obama’s success. “I think this campaign has enraged him,” the adviser told me. “He doesn’t like Obama.” In private conversations, he has been dismissive of his wife’s rival. James Clyburn, an African-American congressman from South Carolina, told me that Clinton called him in the middle of the night after Obama won that state’s primary and raged at him for fifty minutes. “It’s pretty widespread now that African-Americans have lost a whole lot of respect for Bill Clinton,” Clyburn said.
But, as Clinton campaigned in Pennsylvania, he was rarely the cartoon politician portrayed in the press. He still connects better with voters than his wife or Obama. “Hillary is in this race today because of people like you,” he told one white working-class audience. “She’s in it for you and she’s in it because of you. People like you have voted for her in every single state in the country.” People like you. The phrase hung in the air and the room quieted. Clinton didn’t say what the people who voted for Obama were like, but the suggestion was that they were somehow different.

Occupied by treasonous Fascist collaborators in the media.
Want to start somewhere? Start with those who pass on the lies.
Then watch it all come crumbling down.
The pictures don't do it justice. As one drives down the main boulevard, the flags start out on small patches of grass, then increase as the university lawn increases. Flags everywhere, and they only have 1 flag for each 5 dead (white for Iraqis, red for Americans), think if they actually had a flag per victim... a very overwhelming memorial!
Meanwhile, 400 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the last 4 months. Yesterday, it was quite a few, along with small children and mothers.
This evil world is just getting worse and worse, while Condi lies about Jimmy Carter, saying Hamas is a terror org, at the same time as promoting business where businesses pay for terrror Libya fines for terror acts...but Libya has oil. So apparently there are no hard and fast rules. But we've seen that already.
I spent several hours over the weekend talking with a young marine who was on leave from Iraq. Believe me, the morale is VERY high with these young men. They are on the ground and they know that the good guys are winning. Obama will not win in November because the left is not emotionally tough enough to win wars.
Dick:
Yeah, FDR, for example was not emotionally tough enough to win that little incursion in Europe...
Why don't you wait until we fight a war to decide that. A military occupation of a country in full civil war is another matter. You want to win? Define victory please. Or are you content with a Bushism: "Victory is when you are victorious. Success is when you succeed."
Today's modern liberal is too sensitive to win wars.
