It's so super-secret it doesn't exist.
Or maybe its kept with the Colonel's recipe. Have you thought about that?!?!?
;o)

Wow, I'm absolutely in the minority here...
Unless the situation gets a whole lot worse in Iraq, I support staying in it for at least several more years at near current troop levels, and maybe decades at reduced levels. I think that's the only option we have that has a shot at salvaging something halfway good out of this.
And by 'good', I mean a relatively stable and free democratized, Western-allied, nation in the Middle East, while avoiding a civil war. There's no guarantee we'll get there, but I think it's the only decent path we have out of this.
I completely agree on this. While we shouldn't have ever gone in, in the first place, now that we are there, a fast pull-out would do a lot more harm than good.

Toed:
As someone who voted for Bush in 2000 all I can tell you is I am sorry -- I didn't know when I pulled the lever that he would start this war. I understand how you feel, believe me.

It is the 2004 voters who can't pretend ignorance. And there were a LOT of them.

Kevin: There is strong evidence of the Colonel's role in all things secret. Here is some testimony to that:
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows. Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate? Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!" Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"? Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

Did anybody really believe that a privileged, failed business man, drug
addict, C student could pull off, let alone conduct something so complex as
nation building?

There are plenty of reasons to attack Bush, but I don't think his college
grades should be one of them. Neither Gore nor Kerry were great students.

This is where voting AGAINST someone comes into play. Saddam Hussein would have been preferable to another term of Bush.

How do you expect to be taken seriously when you make absurd statements like that?

You are so wrong. Saddam would have plunged us into a never-ending war
with Canada to get back at Terrance and Phillip.
