"Reid said the Middle East is a "powder keg" because of U.S. failures in Iraq, the rise of fundamentalism and the recent election of Hamas in Palestine."

All Jimmy Carter's and the Dims fault for many years. Nevada, get rid of this goof!

You are right on, assuming no absolutely idiotic ploy from our Senate leadership. We can mop the street with these guys on every issue if we just go after them. Imagine what we can do to them about gas prices; no drilling, no refineries, no nukes, no plan, no nothing, except misery, and they believe it is their right to hurt the American people in the name of lower gas consumption and they are loud, proud and arrogant about it. A child could knock these boobs off. If the child had some fight in him/her.

Right. Until the 2003 invasion, the Middle East was such a quiet, calm vacation "mecca" for Westerners.
