opalbeauty: Ofcouse it was for oil and other reasons. Oil was probably the main reason. I mean Saddam was setting on the biggest oil supply in the world. Go figure! It just wasn't as easy as they thought it would be. I guess they thought they could invade a country illegally and take it over and they were all going to lay down their guns and greet them with flowers and not fight back. I guess that's what you get when you do things illegally.
Why invade Iraq for oil, we've got massive reserves off the coasts, ANWAR and even in N.D.
Hot_Single_Dude: Apartheid system has created a lot frustration and unequality in that country and it still takes years before all the wounds are healed......Be sure they will make it good in some years from now.
AS SOON AS BUSHNEY IS OUT OF OFFCIE,ALL OF THAT WILL CHANGE
Looks like Hillary tips another one away at the basket. Can this girl make the come back late in the game? She play hard and working the croud. Looks like the latte' drinker in Ky did not show up for Obama....just a moment here.....not many Latte' drinkers in KY.....I forgot Kentucky borbon drinker here.
Hillary 54% and Obama 43 % with 32 % in KY.
I learned something today on making ethanol. That these Kentucy borbon drinkers will like!
Apparently when you make ethanol from corn.....one of the by products is sour mass.....as in the the same thing that you use to make Kentucky Borbon from. Before you go to this concluding thought that states that are turning to ethanol as a fuel and are also going to make a run for KY title as Borbon state of the country. This sour mass can also be used as a high protien animal feed.
In a sense it make alot of sense. You get a fuel and your get a animal feed for food production. A Twofer.....and the extra.....become Borbon! Three fer!
Learned also that FL is spending $50m a year in ethanol research. That it is planning to make ethanol from the following. Sugar cane, corn, citrus peelings, and other items....
ttom500: Dude do you read my post? I did not suggest Michele had a affair. Suggested that she had a strong relationship to Rev. Wright and his theology. Totally different. And her comment about this is the first time she is proud of the US.....is something the Rev. Wright would say.
KY 21% in Hillary 52% and Obama 44% Hillary projected winner by Fox
Exist polling in KY.Dem......only 50% of Dem consider Obama honest. 30% would vote for McCain
I know TT!
You did not tell any thing a bout her having an affair..... I have just heard this new "rumor" Repubes will spread soon a bout her. And it is not an affair with Wright at all!
It seems like Obama will loose in Kentucky as expected by around 40/60 in benefit of Hillary.
And Oregon will vote for Obama I am still sure.....
opalbeauty: Yeah, Obama has warned the repukes...."Lay off my wife." And I am sure he can play dirty with McCain if they want to throw dirt in his eyes. They did the same thing with Teresa Kerry...attacked her for being rich. I don't see the Dems attacking McCain's wife that way. SHD you know the repukes are very polarized in their thinking....it is black or white. They see no need for equality that would be more in the grey zone. Michelle has no right to be proud of her husband or even the idea of a less divided country. This is a big thing that her husband has made it this far in this country in history. It was only a few years ago that the first black people won best man and best woman at the oscars. They cannot be proud of their hertiage having equality in America. That just won't do with the repukes.
You guys need to start saying nice things about Hillary. Growing chance the only way to unify the party is have her as the VP.
Her number in popular vote....with large numbers of them saying they would vote McCain.....got to scare the bejeppers out of Obama staff.
LOL......but maybe she does not want the VP with him? Still I would go easy on Hillary......she is tipping away another tonight...... 41 in KY.....57% Hillary and 40% Obama.
She has cut a clear path accross the country from one coast the other in state primary wins. Meaning that she can get support across the country.
They are going to force Obama to take her on the ticket. 120 of the remaining undeclared super deligate are former elected from B. Clinton administration. They owe the Clinton's big time....
Obama should see the political reality here....and just say....you are onboard the Obama ticket, Hillary.....you are my number one VP choice.
Sorry to hear of Teddy Kennedy medical situation, Opal. I know he is a favorite of yours.
I had some brief contact with him when I first got into gov't consulting in the late 80s. You ought to have seen him then. He would have 30 reporters hanging on every word as he moved in Senate office building.
Indyfella: Sometimes we can't help what we are.... It's okay
Well, I know I can get heated about politics but I do have convictions and when we realize that we have done something intentionally that may have hurt someone....saying I'm sorry is not a weakness.

Let not your heart be troubled. There's really nothing anyone on here can say that I take personal.
I have fun bantering and I love politics and I say what I think... (and sometimes don't think)
Don't ever apologize if you don't think you said something wrong. I wouldn't....
