When asked how that assessment comports with recent polls that show about two-thirds of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it, Cheney replied, "So?"

"You can’t be blown off course by polls," said Cheney, who is currently on a tour of the Middle East. "This president is very courageous and determined to go the course. There has been a huge fundamental change and transformation for the better. That’s a huge accomplishment."
Despite that, he says the Iraqi government has made "some progress, not as much as we would like," citing specifically hydrocarbons law and provincial powers legislation as two bills stalling in passage.

4,000 precious lives taken, trillions in debt and all you have to show for it so far is two bills! Hydrocarbons law is for the benefit of major oil companies !!

 "The law is expected to encourage foreign oil companies with their huge investment clout and technology to quickly modernize Iraq’s oil sector and meet the country’s goal of doubling the current crude production of 2.5 million barrels per day by 2010."

We were fooled from the beginning and continue to be; it is at times like these that the words or Dr. Martin Luther King have their place in my collective memory "Beyond Vietnam - A time to break silence" has never played so loudly from my speakers; "A time comes when silence is betrayal"

"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a time of moral crisis, remain neutral." - Dante Alighieri

I for one am most impressed at the speech ("A more perfect union") given by Barack Obama; Such words are not written nor spoken by those who have not experienced first hand, trials and tribulations. There is so much understanding and wisdom in the speech that it must be watched/read several times before its full vision can be captured.

The last time I heard such a speech was when I delved into the study of Martin Luther King Jr, what a magnificent speech (“Why I am opposed to the war in Vietnam”); words can not express such gratitude to have found such a gem of history only tears.

I’m not a big "gamer" person like a few I know but I been playing Starcraft on and off since my high school years. When I heard they were going to release Starcraft II I said "WHAT!" then after seen some of the graphics and game play that will be involved I started drooling. You have to play this game to understand why so many millions of people are jumping for joy; this game is practically a sport in Korea.

Get yourself the Starcraft Battle Chest and a few buddies for a team battle and slaughter them. Need to read more before making this awesome purchase then read the Wikipedia article for more information.
