OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Sen. Barbara Boxer told Mills College graduates on Saturday that the United States needs to begin pulling troops out of Iraq this year.

"We went to Iraq on false pretenses, and we're staying there on false hopes - false hopes that our military can solve the age-old problems there between ethnic groups," said Boxer, D-Calif. "The Iraqi people simply have to want democracy and freedom as much as we want it for them. And I want an exit strategy."

((snip))

She also warned graduates of the challenges they will face in the future, including protecting privacy rights from government abuse, the threat to abortion rights, the genocide in Sudan and global warming.

I just noticed she's wailing about privacy from government snoops?!

She must have taken the course: Duplicity and Machiavellian Leadership Principles" from her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous--Bw*tch Shrillery herself.

What a pitiful excuse of sham humanity in one body.

Oh, in case you're confused, I don't like the super mouth.

Geoff Monsour, of Latrobe, makes a point to U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha following his graduation ceremony at Seton Hill University in Greensburg on Saturday. Monsour, a Marine, disagrees with Murtha's stance on the war in Iraq and his decision to speak about political issues during his graduation ceremony. Monsour graduated with a bachelor of science degree in business.

Good for Geoff. This is my sister's alma mater. I don't know what she thinks, but I know for a fact she supports the troops (she has no choice because I am in. LOL). This is a Catholic University and surpised that the anti war guy is even there.
