Not this sh*t again...
Sounds allot like the circulation numbers of the windy city blow and blather.
I took out Greeley's gratuitous insults against Bush, so the main points of his argument could be read without that distraction. He's arguing that democracy with Western-style bill of rights can't be grafted onto the cultural stock of the Arab Muslim middle east. Instead, Iraq will end up, again, with strong-man, one-party or one-religion rule.
How could "Stay the course" mean "regime change." As if this makes any sense at all...
BUSH 2002: "I'm staying the course with regime change in Iraq..."
What silliness these so-called pundits spew via their cake holes...
That's what I say when I see reports of how the Iraq constitution is going to enshrine Islam as the source of law. Our soldiers died for that?
Greely's an idiot.
That's the only response this drivel deserves.
let's see what happens. the main problem is that Bush does not have the political backing here at home to tell this interim government "take a hike, we are going to start over". If support for the war were 60-65%, we could do that. since its not, we have to take what we can get, because starting over is not politically sustainable.
If I said more I get banned from FR...
When they make Islam their source of laws, all will have been lost. It will be very, very soon.
Clueless Andy, and a racist to boot.
Kind of ignoring the entire cold war experience - not to mention post WWII experience - don't ya think?
Don't buy into that MSM meme, nor any other for that matter.
The fact that Islam is being enshrined in the new Iraq constitution isn't "drivel." It's the truth -- the sickening truth. Unless you think that Shi'ite Islam (as practiced and written into civil law, in Iran) is a wonderful religion.
As long as Iraq will be under the law of Islam (as denoted by a recent Drudge headline, "Iraq draft says laws must conform to Islam"), Iraq will never be a true democracy.
Did anyone really expect a different outcome?
I don't get your point. When did we invade a country and impose "regime change" during the Cold War? Our successful doctrine was "containment".
It's ending pretty good if you are a Shia Sharia advocate.
"""the president should not deceive the American people. What will happen in Iraq will be very much like what existed before Saddam came to power and eventually lead, in the name of the will of the people, to another tyrant who will rule with an automatic weapon in his hand."""
Sources? I read that Islam will be "a main source" for the constitution. Why is this a shock?
