POPSMcCain Response to 'Obama is Right'by
Wisco Yesterday 9:07 PM Well, there ya go then -- all that talk about Iraq being a '"sovereign nation" has been a bunch of horseshit. It's not the voters of Iraq who get to decide the future of that nation, but the voters of America. Team McCain admits to fighting a war of empire. This strikes me as an extremely bad attempt to spin their way out of an unspinnable situation. To quote an unnamed "prominent Republican strategist" Ambinder refers to in a previous post, " We're fucked ."

POPSThe Twelve Apostles and Bloody Sunday (original) Like America, we had out War of Independence followed by a bloody Civil War on the issue of independence. This was also in common with many other states that gained independence. We didn't gain full independence until 1948 when we took it without a shot being fired. We did lose 6 of our 9 counties of Ulster, our northern providence. Hopefully some day our "four green fields" will be reunited peacefully. By Bush&Co's definition all our leaders would have been terrorists like Nelson Mandela , just like your own revered insurrectionists/freedom fighters/terrorists/founding fathers. Our longest serving PM and president de Valera would have been executed along with the 1916 Rising leaders only he was born in America.

The Mayan Pyramid is only in the planning stages but it is due to open in 2010... My favorite without a doubt is the Beckham Canyon Cavern Hotel...
