Ahh. The strategery becomes clear. We aren't going to attack Iraq. We're just gonna bluster until the State Dept. rids itself of all the Clintonites, who are self-destructing under the pressure

Two down, only eleven hundred to go.

First Al Queada, the Iraqies, then the UN, and then the State Department. Who would of thought Bush would of not only fought, but beat America's enemies.

Time to get that Saudi lobbyist gig. Nice last words. The Saudis understand what "instability" means.

Kiesling was one of the people who attacked our government for not intervening in Bosnia. You see, Bosnia was a human rights disaster with a brutal dictator committing horrible crimes. It was nothing like Iraq [/sarcasm]

The Bush Doctrine -- Clean House Time.

Afghanistan, Iraq, the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Senate, etc..

Good. Another sissy-boy, appeasement loving, left wing jackass departs the State Dept. If we could only clean house and get rid of all the dead wood there (meaning about 95% of all the idiots employed there) we'd be off to a good start.
