Q: "If the US leaves Iraq as your proposing, do you think it would escalate the sectarian violence?"

Ed: "...sectarian violence is escalating on a daily basis already, with or without the benefit of our presence."

You didn't answer the question...again. Moving on...

Q: "Do you think Iran would then play more of a role in governing Iraq?"

Ed: "Iran is, of course going to play a role in the future governance of Iraq. Syria likely will too."

Thanks for answering. But that leads me to ask you an obvious follow up question; How will Iran and Syria have a more favorable and stabilizing effect in Iraq that the US?

*** who'n' the fuck destabilized the whole Middle East? ***

Outside of the Sunni Triangle and Gaza I'd say the Middle East is as stable as it's ever been. Where is all this destabilization you're referring to?

*** ...have you noticed how little company you've got over there on your side of the fence lately?

If you're referring to the DBIS I'm glad I'm in the minority here.

*** ...you'd both have enlisted and you'd be over there right now handing out nylons, chewing gum, and democracy to the people who really don't want you there in the first place. ***

Again...you guys are very consistant, and predictable. Do you have some kind of newletter to giving you this little zingers?

And I'm still waiting for the facts proving once and for all, without a scintilla of doubt, that global warming exists.
