>>>Guess who is on the executive committee of the board? <<<

Good dig! With that lineup of appeasers, can anyone really think The Crisis Group is interested in helping the U.S. and Bush solve the Iraq situation?

The warning from the International Crisis Group came amid lawless chaos in Baghdad, where police were hunting for 16 kidnapped aid workers and a former minister who escaped from jail, allegedly with the help of US hired guns.

When we put this in perspective against the millions of felons and illegal aliens currently on a wanted list in the US or listed as missing/kidnapped, this is pretty small potatoes. So far, I don't think that the U.S. is "disintegrating".

Perhaps the "International Crisis Group" (stupid name for a group of Chicken Littles) should review their criteria for what constitutes a "disintegrating" democracy!

I guess America's next because of all the gang banging scum and liberals? We certainly have more traitors, criminals, and idiots per capita than Iraq could ever have in its wildest nightmares.

To the Idiot Cruds Group: Nuts.

Lord...the sky is falling and we're to blame. I'm amazed how al Qaeda, who carried out 9/11 and has been trying to ignite a civil war in Iraq, is never implicated as the real culprit...it's solely us...blood thirsty America. Not surprisingly, Liberals have totally forgotten who we are supposed to be fighting.

Reuters at it again, trying to "create news" on a slow news day before Christmas.
