Well, well, well...

Yeah, I purposely haven't said anything on this thread because when Old Guy fired it up he was eatin' up my Mudcat alotted time on Katrina and didn't think Ihad the time to delve into another charged thread but...

...with that said, I agree with parts of Old Guy's original thought and it's appearing more and more likely that the only solution, if one can call it that, is seperatin' the warin' factions...

Old Guy and I will probably disagree on how this can be accomplished but I keep thinking of the Saudi Proposal that the Bush folks shot down at the time but I'm sure he and every Repub running for re-election today wished Bush had listened to... It was a framework and with a little dustin' off it could apply to Iraq as well as finding a framework for the Isreali/Palestinain situation... Yeah, and it puts the load right where it belongs: on the countries of the Middle East!!!

But Bush would have to figure a creative way of accepting a proposal that he refused to "endorse" that would have prevented Iraqmire in the first place... But Bush's days are numbers and he hasn't really done anything other than rip off the country and make his rich friends richer so maybe there's a part of him that knows that he has bought himself a 1st Class trip to Hell so, hey, stranger things have happened...

But, for the record, "stay the friggin' course" is what Einstien had in mind when he obsereved that repeating a behavior expecting a different response is INSANITY"!!!
