"We had better make plans to leave as soon as this "thing" is passed."
Careful. Sentiments like that around here will get you labeled an unpatriotic, terrorist-supporting liberal, rather than the realist that you are!!
Any gov't that gives even a modicum of respect to shar'ia (or however you spell that dumbass system of Islamic law) is doomed to be an oppressive hellhole.
Thanks for the warning, Blzbba. I know, and said it anyway. Anyone who starts on me had better be advised that I love my Country, my President, and ALL of our brave Military. I have been a conservative Republican all my life, which has been quite a long one. One of my sons served proudly in the Navy. I supported the Vietnam war to the end.
I just heard on Rush that we are making plans to leave in the middle of 2006. It's not the first time, so this may be true. (I think it's Roger who is subbing.)
