I just explained to you about sovereignty and pope, and asked you to explain why the he even brought the subject up?

It takes a special breed of idiot to think that this was some type of upbraiding the Pope was delivering to the President. He was merely encouraging him to rstore sovereignty as soon as possible. There is no question that the Pope thought we weren't going to do it at all. If you weren't a Pope-hater, you'd understand the message.

BTW, you still haven't explained why you think Iraq has never had "sovereignty" and what you think the word means.

You know very well I replied in 155 to pope's comments on sovereignty.

And you know very well my position on his statements.

In my opinion they were un-called for, and polictical, they were not religious.

The pope is a big-boy, he knows that those who disagree with him don't hate him.

Nor does the President, who showed him much more respect, than the pope gave him today.

We will have to agree to disagree, and I will wait for the pope's equal and continued condemnation of the Islamic cults, vs his lectures to the US.

BS

He could have complimented Bush on staying the course in TRYING to stay the course in bringing democracy to Iraq in spite of the Jihadists attempts to derail the process but NO he had to be selfserving with his admonition to the only leader in the world with any gonads and who is under fire from nut cases all over the world and in the USA
