No mention of Clinton or Obama.

Perhaps you posted the wrong clip.

Or, alternately, right clip but oblique rationale for making connection to Obama and Clinton.

Please explain.

Thanks Stephen.

Sheik Ali Hatem Sleiman of the Al-Anbar Salvation Council "Al-Qaeda no longer plays any role in Iraq. 2008 will be the year we will put an end to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and turn a new political and economic leaf."

Fantastic. Another reason the US can leave Iraq and its problems to Iraqis to solve, and to Iraqis to eliminate their enemies, as the Sheik would have it, "without human rights."

Alas, before doing this we might pay the money owed our Sunni allies for their work. See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/mar/21/iraq.alqaida Guardian.UK.Video

A telephone survey by GuardianFilms for Channel 4 News reveals that out of 49 Sahwa councils four with more than 1,400 men have already quit, 38 are threatening to go on strike and two already have.

this made me laugh really hard... At least the telephones are working in Iraq...

Does Al Qaeda deserve an ounce of respect or any human rights?

The Al Queda infestation in Iraq was something foisted upon Iraq by the U.S. invasion.

But our government held up posters of human rights abuses committed by the Hussein government 25 years ago. But these are generally less than 1 tenth of 1 percent of what the Iraqi police and army did. 99.9 percent of what they did was keep out Al Queda, Iran, and violent sectarian anarchy.

The U.S. has spent 500 billion dollars trying to eliminate .1 percent of the work of Iraqi security forces. Saddam would have died of old age within ten years or so anyways. His sons were already shitlisted by other important Iraqi officials in informal circles.

Does this make the Republicans into liberals? Spending a lot of money and lives to make some place perfect and ending up making it worse?

It was strange to read in Time magazine after victory was declared. An old Iraqi communist claimed to be glad Saddam was deposed, as Saddam had persecuted communists. Just not enough to prevent them from growing old enough to enjoy seeing Saddam's downfall. So now Iraq is safe for inconsequential old communists, and was never a bastion of Al Queda or militant Islamic Extremism to begin with.

I don't know. Maybe more progress could have been made spending only 3 billion giving motivational speeches on being less brutual .1 percent of the time. Maybe give them old Disney cartoons from the 30s and 40s.

That would leave 497 billion dollars of deficit spending to spend on new convention centers and highway off ramps in America.
