  • "she will obliterate Iran if she is the president"

    At the risk of breaking "the rules", I'm posting this a second time.  I think that voters who may not have seen it have a right to know how Hillary is viewed in Iran.  So many viewed her comments as...more »

  • From WA state--Women's Voices, Women Vote

    We live in Washington state and my 17 year old daughter received a voter registration application from Women's Voices, Women Vote.  She'd set it aside and we didn't really think too much about it until I read the articles yesterday. ...more »

  • "You don't choose your family"

    I've always been puzzled why "family values" types hated Hillary as well as Bill after the Lewinsky affair.  I found her loyalty admirable, especially in the face of such public humiliation.  I gave her extra credit because I assumed that...more »

  • In many states, you're not required to identify your race or ethnicity, so where are they getting their numbers when they identify the ratio of newly registered voters from a certain group?

  • To make it clear--I'm not saying Sadr has to be stopped---the current government wants his movement to end and so does ours.

  • In case you check back, it sounds like we're sort of thinking along the same lines. I'll go further though and make this prediction: Whatever SOFA and strategic framework comes out of the administration before the end of July will hinge in large part on Iraqi oil. I have a gut feeling that Cheney's last trip to Iraq had to do with those negotiations and the fact that the Bush/Cheney installed government wasn't playing ball in connection with Basra. Make deals with American companies or with the Iranians? Sadr forces have to be stopped because of his popularity and because he's a nationalist who will never support private deals. I've written before that I'm angry and sad that our kids are dying while back-door deals that may shame us forever are the reason they're still there. I hope I'm wrong.

  • Try this theory--you seem to find the sources and I can't sort through the zillions of articles and opinions, but: We invade Iraq expecting to accomplish oil privitization fairly quickly. Doesn't work out as easily as expected, but in the meantime the Republican congress is extremely pliable and regulators back off. Private equity sees tremendous value in the rise of oil prices while the administration is "unable" to get Iraq under control enough to measurably increase oil production. The adminstration's "strategic" plan will be completed by the end of July--the plan will include oil agreements; patient investors will finally see the fruits of their patience; UNLESS Iran convinces Iraq to trade their oil on the Iranian oil bourse, in which case we'll need to distract them with a bomb or two. Or something like that.

  • Please consider her foreign policy postions--Iran in particular. How can you forgive her recent comments and the Iranian reaction to them? Especially since Bolton and others are ramping up the rhetoric. If the administration acts against Iran, she'll have to explain why she added fuel to the fire. This is the biggest mistake she's made so far. Watch the Iranian reaction here:
