Iraq closing Borders With Iran/Syria, Cheney Will Not Testify For Libby, the U.K. Is doing Lousy With It's Children As Is The U.S.

Iraq will close its borders with Iran and Syria for up to three days as part of its new security plan for Baghdad. BBC

The UK has been accused of failing its children, as it comes bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrial countries.

The UNICEF report looked at 40 indicators including poverty, relationships with parents and health.     BBC

    I should note that the United States was next to last on the bottom.

    It is a sad day when the United States is at the near bottom of a list such as this. Think what this country could have and could still be doing with our children if we had even half of the money that Bush has spent on this war with nobody ( Iraq ). I mean nothing against the Iraqi people by that statement.

Iraq Resolution Debate In The House

   So the debate on a resolution got started in the House this afternoon and even if it passes, it will have no impact on the President's plans for Iraq.

   You can not tell that by the rhetoric from the Republican side of the fence. They are still pressing the " it will demoralize our troops " and send a message to our enemies that America has lost its will in this war.

Nothing but bullshit!

New York Times

Even so, Republican leaders and the White House worked behind-the-scenes to prevent a wide defection. In the opening moments of the debate, those leaders suggested the Iraq war resolution would dispirit U.S. troops and send a message to America’s enemies the nation has lost its will in the war on terrorism.

“Over the next few days, we have an opportunity to show our enemies that we will not take the bait,” said Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the Republican minority leader. He added: “Who doesn’t believe the terrorists will just follow our troops home?”

   I for one, do not believe that they will follow our troops back to America unless the American administrations continue to shove our ideals down the throats of not only the Middle East but the rest of the world.

    Contrary to popular belief, not all of the countries on this earth, even the free ones, want to be like America. Many would prefer that the United States just leave them the hell alone!

   Our idea's are not necessarily other countries idea's and our religious beliefs are most certainly not their beliefs. Our government needs to stop acting like father knows best to the rest of the world!
