"U.S. companies should be barred from participating in reconstruction in Iraq because you can't profit from a crime," Clark added.

While I wouldn't call the Iraq war a crime I can see where based on events and developments to date, it would not be hard to make a case for the war being a "make work" war for US companies to help bring us out of the recession.

Well, the Iraqi's unwillingness to roll over and play dead has sort of screwed up our time table on the reconstruction phase of the war. Kind of difficult, under the best of circumstances, to start rebuilding in the midst of combat.

I know I'll be flamed by the Rummy & Dubya can do no wrong zealots, so I'll respond to them now.........ouch, ouch, ouch ;-)

Yeah, what you said, and I would like to add that the sniveling twit limosine leftist should pay for it out of his own pocket.

I don't feel that the United States is required to build a better infastructure than Iraq had before the war. They can handle this in their own time frame with their own resources. War damage is easy to assess and these problems are a bona fide duty for the US to reconstruct, at the very least. The war was taken to them, they did not choose to bring the war to us.

God help us if the Japanese get involved

Pretty racist stuff there, Ramsey.

Great comments countering Clark's propaganda bump.

"Anyone who thinks that the United Nations has the skills or capacity to create security in Iraq, hasn't been around."

What are you telling me? The UN is inept? Geez, I could have told you that months ago.

"The UN can't possibly handle the situation in Iraq and the U.S. know it perfectly well."

Your right, the United States is aware of this flaw in the UN. Do the UN a favor and pass this information onto those who blindly support this organization.

BTW, I'm shocked to hear he is still alive. I was sure he died years ago.

He did, from the neck up.

Which statement is less truthful than the other?

A) "I truly love America and the principles for which it stands" - Ramsey Clark

B) "Today, I will ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness for my sins" - Satan

[oyez]

Who listens to that fosselized Bolshevik anymore, besides the media?

[bmwcyle]

Ramsey discounts France and Russian movies in the Oil for Food program. Ramsey is an old fool.

Agreed!

I agree--right out of Iraqi oil revenues.

Wesley and Ramsey should put their heads together to form an ass.

"'are there any communists in A.N.S.W.E.R.?'"

Are there any non-communists? (I know, I know, there are probably some anarchists too if we want to be technical, but I am just using the layman's definitions)
