One boy said the U.S. needs to concentrate on closing off Iraq’s borders so that terrorists can’t enter the country.

Smart boy. He should replace Chertoff.

Saying unguarded cities and towns are far more dangerous than they’ve been described in the American media, the students peppered Ritter with questions about whether he would pull U.S. troops out if it meant more Iraqi civilians would get killed.

I thought the media made Iraq appear more dangerous and unstable than it really is.

Like in Viet Nam, the dems really don’t care how many people die.

“One boy said the U.S. needs to concentrate on closing off Iraq’s borders . . . “

Obviously a racist kid, bigoted against `undocumented Iraqis’.
A nativist `know-nothing’, he must not want what’s best for Iraq.

I don’t guess Pelosi or Reid will be meeting with this group of Iraqis?

Calling George Bush. Calling George Bush. Border security is your friend.

Near the end of about 10 minutes of questions, Ritter told the students: “I’m not a person who is trying to defend the position of the United States going to Iraq . . . but I think innocent Iraqis deserve a chance at peace and safety.”

Typical sleazy political non-answer to the Iraqi children's concerns. But these kids seem smart. I highly doubt they bought it.

The governor of my state is an idiot. The kids were more knowledgeable than him! Go figure.

The Iraqis now know first hand what we in Colorado have know all along; Ritter is a mental eunuch.

"Ritter told the students: “I’m not a person who is trying to defend the position of the United States going to Iraq . . . but I think innocent Iraqis deserve a chance at peace and safety.”

Typical liberal: "I have good intentions. I'm full of good intentions. If you have to die, to make me feel better, due to my good intentions, well, that's a price we'll have to pay.

Of course, the Iraqi kid is dead and Gov. Ritter is wondering down the rose path, that's the price a good liberal is willing to pay.

BTW, why don't the pro-Victory people get these kids on tape with their opinions. I'm sure Gov. Ritter was just stunned by these kids. He believes the liberal propaganda that they all hate us, because of the invasion, occupation, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, etc.

Here's the unofficial motto of the third world: "Yankee go home (and take me with you)"
