My favorite interview by the "embeddeds" was when a group of reporters were giving a a commander a hard time after they had shot up a car. The quote was something like...

The rammed the car into the tank on purpose. We responded with force... on purpose.

Puh-leeze.

America is a democracy. There are many things that pols who have to face the electorate can't do that a dictatorship can do ... as the Syrian foreign minister is well aware.

A witty comment from an Arab country that highlights the incompetence of the Bush administrations dealings with illegal immigration? Priceless

Aren't you forgetting to credit administrations all the way back to Roosevelt's (Teddy) and before?

Why single out Bush's on this issue? DU maybe...?

A facetious argument. We can do better and so can they, but, unlike most of our illegal immigrants, those who are crossing over their borders are crossing to kill.

"''If America, a rich superpower cannot stop Mexicans crossing into the United States, then how can we, a poor country, be expected to stop Palestinians getting into Iraq."

Should read:

''If America, a rich superpower REFUSES TO STOP Mexicans crossing into the United States, then how can we, a poor country, be expected to stop Palestinians getting into Iraq.''

Oh, I believe if we started shooting at illegal crossers from either Syria or Mexico ---- the crossings would certainly slow down...

Its when DIPLOMATS or POLITICIANS have something to gain from "border crossers" that nothing gets done....

Semper Fi

Oh yes....you caught me. I'm a DU infiltrator. You're so clever. Say anything negative about Bush here on FR and you are automatically a DUer.

I can single out Bush because he is the first WH president to put a Spanish website on our government website, he is actively in talks with Vicente Fox in legalizing our illegals, and frankly I expect the Dems to kiss the backsides of illegals.

It's when the Republicans (like Bush) do it that angers me.

This was a message to American citizens.

Maybe if we give them DL's, we can manage them.

''They are very determined and many of them dream of seeing an American tank,''

Well, why didn't you tell us earlier! We can save all of you the trouble of traveling and send our tanks to Syria.
