Ain't that the truth. I'm a border bot myself and if they don't like it, they can lump it. My country means more to me than their opinion of me.
One of our local republicans that often goes on the morning show here has heard the theory from Washington insiders that Bush actually preferred the results he got during this election for two reasons. He was getting nowhere on his Amnesty Program with the republican lead congress and senate. The second is that now that Saddam has been toppled he wants out of Iraq but with the republican lead houses he could not do it (for whatever reason) and feels that it will be easier to get out of Iraq with dems in control. Maybe the theory is based on the dems threatening to stop funding the war which will guarantee an exit strategy.
I found it hard to believe until I see how giddy he appears with Nancy Pelosi lately.
I still dont understand why Al-Sadr wasn't taken out when he only had 200 supporters. Now he's got tens of thousands of supporters.
This whole plan could backfire on him politically as it seems that Chavez recently made a political speech to his people mentioning that he offered to help Iran and Syria by sending troops if the US agreed to let Syria and Iran go in and win the peace in Iraq.
Stay tuned, I guess.
