POPSPfleger To Return.... That didn't take long. Wonder what he reflected on. (is anyone else having trouble clipping *without* the orange box checked?)

POPSCongress Holds Troops Hostage, Budget Director Says AND when the President vetoes this bill, who will get blamed for not supporting the troops? Congress, again, shows their utter contempt for the American process, it's military, our tax dollars, the intelligence of it's citizens. Blackmail, pure and simple. If Congress does not want America troops in Iraq then take the stand, vote, and deal with the consequences. But they won't because they KNOW it is not in our national interests to do so; but they will play politics with every ounce of treachery they can muster against this Administration, our military personnel, and the responsible use of OUR money.

POPSFormer President Clinton Do we really want this person as the co-President of the United States of America? There is much to dislike/disagree with the other candidates running for the office of Presidency...the leader of the (at this moment) most powerful nation on Earth. Are we ready to go here again? The Clintons back in the White House? I would choose anyone over this person and his spouse.

POPSBush oil price 'begging' is 'pathetic': Clinton What nerve! What hypocrisy! What happened to 'talking' instead of bombing....'diplomacy' instead of cowboying? The man is damned if he does; damned if he doesn't. And what political party (or dominating portion of it) has blocked every effort to give the US energy independence? No refineries, no coal plants, no nuclear power, no off-shore drilling, no wind, etc.....just let's raise taxes on gasoline, heating oil, petroleum companies and everyone ride a bike.

POPSAnti-war Soros funded Iraq study People are free to *fund* whoever and whatever they want, but not matter who...the results are almost always a product of the view of the *funder*. To give any credibility to any "study", the $$$ behind it should be disclosed.

POPSRonald Reagan's Humor Just because I think he had such an understanding of politics and of life. People will criticize him for many policies but what a wonderful human being.

POPSAn inconvenient truth Wow, this from Australia! A clear-thinking analysis of the politics of the war: "...the only thing that matters is delivering a defeat to the Bush Administration".

POPSEven Harvard Finds The Media Biased Not news to most of us, but it's interesting that another source (like Harvard!) thought it was an important issue to analyze. The sheeple are fed whatever the particular media outlet wants to propagate. Thank you Fox News.

POPSBetter Numbers And this from the Washington Post. I'm sure there will be no apologizes to the General from his assailants in Congress. Some good news.

POPSClinton urges ouster of Iraq's al-Maliki How interesting. A most "divisive" figure in the United States is seeking to oust a duly elected official. Now I ask you...would that not make the *elected government" of Iraq actually BE a puppet of the US?

POPSSenate Passes Bush Spy Bill While the headline is aggravating, in light of the intell coming out in dribbles, this will keep things working for the duration of the time specified by the chatter of bad things in the works. Cynics can claim that this is politics. Well, have you seen anything in Washington that has given you assurances that politics are not driving our governmental leaders....all of them? I'd err on the side of safety and security any day. The stakes are too high.

POPSDefestism Defeated Apparently, even the MSM is beginning to report that progress is actually being made in Iraq and it's all not bad news.

POPSUS Ambassador to Iraq Urges Visas for Iraqi Employees Now, why do you suppose this is? Could it be because they *know* that this Congress is going to leave them high & dry with the troops withdrawal and cutting off support for the Iraqi government? They're scrambling because they know what will happen when we leave....just like Vietnam.

POPSAncient Roman Baths Unearthed Ancient Rome was a very hedonistic society and the slavery capital of their time. It doesn't seem like a very enjoyable life lying about in your 'baths' all day. But it is fascinating to see how they lived and what they considered luxurious.

POPSDemocrats Won't Force War Vote The measures are "too weak". Yes! The Liberals and the anti-war advocates *know* that withdrawing our military and undermining the efforts in Iraq will spell d-i-a-s-t-e-r for all involved. Commit wholeheartedly, win and then come home.
