I'm happy to see that the Democrats lost such a key player as their Senate Leader. This has to be a big wakeup call to the democrats.

So, who might the Democrats elect as their new leader? Anyone got a hunch?

I like Leiberman but he's too honest and reasonable for most democrats.

Well Britains Sportman Ladbroke has Hillary Clinton as the favorite......


-----Bush was Ladbrokes' favorite for the whole of the election campaign. It's estimated that some 8 million pounds was spent wagering the U.S. election. Ladbrokes has Hillary Clinton at 5-1 followed by former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at 7-1 and Kerry running mate John Edwards at 8-1.-----

hopefully this will be should be the end of Terry McCauliffe as head of the DNC, as well the most of the Old Guard Dems....guys like Ted Kennedy, Bob Graham, Dick Gephardt, and of course John Kerry. they showed zero leadership when it came down to key character tests like the vote to go to war in Iraq, and so have no demonstrable principles upon which to lead a party.

i'd like to see Joe Biden of Delaware make a bid for the leadership.

I have to disagree, this country did NOT approve of the war, (perhaps you missed all the demonstrations and anti-war rallies) the Bush administration approved of the war...so now we are at war....in a country that had nothing to do with OBL or what happened to us on 9/11. Yes, the world is probably better off without Saddam in power, but that was NOT our decision to make, if the decision was to be made, it should have been handed down by the UN and carried out by a coalition (sp?) of UN troops. Because of this war, gas prices are higher, 1100+ americans have died...many, many others have been injured, stocks are in the shitter because everone is worried about what is happening / will happen in Iraq, not to mention the beheadings of innocent people and other attacks and threats (Spain was attacked, and other countries threatened) because of involvment in this war.

I don't believe that's true. Overwhelmingly the country disagrees with our involvement in Iraq. The reason we're there is because of an administrations zeal to rule and we, as a majority, were to afraid to challenge that.

We, the people were like deer in the headlights of a car. We froze on 11-2, rather than get the heck out of harms way.

"The year following an election almost always sees the economy slow as the fiscal party turns into a fiscal hangover," Rosenberg said.

Pointing out that government spending over the past four years has erased the U.S. budget surplus, Rosenberg elaborated that the Bush Administration now has little maneuvering room to stimulate the economy.

"Fiscal flexibility is as close to zero as possible in terms of trying to reinvigorate the economy," he said.

The cause is not the question. certainly the examples you gave are the right reasons to charge ahead in defiance of public outcry. I don't feel it necessary to explain why.

However Iraq doesn't quite fall into the same catagory. Sure, saddam is a bad guy but was he an immediate threat? Was there an immediate need to invade Iraq, killing tens of thousands of it's citizens. Knowing bin Laden was the culprit and knowing Iraq didn't fund him, why did we attack Iraq?

Certainly, we have a responsibility in Iraq now and can't just walk away but who put us in that dubious position and why is the issue. Under what pretenses were we sent there?

Although I try to respect all opinions, you're typifying the big problem in America. You're trying to define anothers agenda rather than discuss the facts and issuse at hand.

albed 04-11-04 08:20 AM

"the fuckin COUNTRY approves that the WAR is correct" Is the statement I referred to and everyone seems determined to misinterpret it so they can discuss something else. Well go ahead and rant about whatever you want just don't quote my post or jc's as if your addressing the same topic.

Gutr your not semiblind, your totally fucking blind. Since when does a few idiots protesting mean ANYTHING is or isn't correct or approved by a majority? Yes America and its citizens approve of this war or they would have voted Kerry in since his first agenda would have been to end the war in Iraq, pull our troops out, cut defense spending by 90%, completely weaken our defenses and intelligence gathering capabilities, and increase our vulnerability to Terrorist attacks by 100% then hide his Herman Munster looking head in the sand and wait for the inevitable to happen.

Hasn't anyone ever got right in your face and swore what you were doing or saying was wrong, only to find out later that you were right in what you were doing and it did work out for the best? Just because some disagreed with you didn't make you WRONG did it? It is you that doesn't understand what protesting is. Protesting is just people disagreeing with others on a larger scale.

You libs must still be reading those exit polls that showed Kerry winning by over 2 points. Finally people see the innaccuracy of these exit polls and how wrong they can really be. Americans clearly showed with this vote that unlike our liberal friends that the majority of Americans are indeed in touch with REALITY and see TERRORISM as a REAL threat not only to our Nations security but to our own personal safety and most importantly as a threat to our FREEDOM. They voted for the candidate that they felt would best take the fight to the Terrorists and not another candidate that will allow attack after attack against us and do NOTHING just as our integrity-less Democrat predecessor Mr. Clinton did for 8 years.

Read all the fiction you want but the economy, gay marraige, jobs, RELIGION, were all secondary to the threat of Terrorism. Don't worry gutr with that head firmly planted where it is you'll never have to worry about seeing the other side of anything.

Wow, how did i miss this?....oh well...better late than never i suppose...

I have to say that John Kerry not being ellected (and his 'plans' for Iraq) has nothing to do with this war being correct or not. To just pull our troops out and leave Iraq in this mess we created, as John Kerry had planned, would be wrong...IMO that is why John Kerry did not win.

This war began with incorrect information....the body count of dead soldiers has risen to over 1500 and over 11,000 wounded. These brave men and women are fighting in a country (fighting a war) that had nothing to do with the terrorism attatcks on US soil. Sending troops into Afghanistan to search for those responsible for 9/11 is/was correct, but that isnt important anymore is it?...what is important is Iraq and Saddam. Ever wonder how or why the focus shifted from OBL to Saddam? (and so very quickly) Or why our military can find Saddam in a 'spider hole' but have no clue where the 'mastermind' of the attatcks that catapulted our nation into 'The Age of Terror'?

Just because Clinton did not wage a full scale war against another country does not mean that he did nothing. http://www.cdt.org/policy/terrorism/...error-otl.html Bill Clinton did quite a bit to step up this countries defences against terrorism. Starting a war should not be the first step, but the last, Clinton seemed to understand that...i cannot say the same for our current President.

I am a very open minded person...I like to hear both sides to whatever issue is on tap, then decide how I feel and if I agree with either party or not. To believe that everyone who is against this war is a 'Liberal' or 'Democrat' (or 'Liberal Democrat') is very narrow minded and ignorant. I am a registered Republican...(i know...hard to believe huh? :) ) that does not stop me from disagreeing with things this Republican President has said or done...nor does it stop me from voting for a Democrat or Independent candidate. I vote for candidates based on my personal views and beliefs, not by party lines.

It is apparent by the amount of people that have protested (and are still protesting this war) in the United States alone (not to mention around the world) that the people believe it is not correct. Since the one year 'anniversery' of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq the amount of protests has increased over 100%, a good reflection of the deepening doubts about the war after a disastrous year of continued body counts and billions of dollars wasted on an illegal and immoral occupation.

John Kerry never planned to pull the troops out of Iraq, in fact I don’t recall any Democrat saying they wanted too, So that is absolutely not why Kerry lost the election.

Incorrect information from who? CIA, NSA, Defense Dept? The President? The President’s Staff? You are right - Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks on 9/11, George Bush also agrees with you, The media liked to talk about an Iraq and 9/11 connection but the Government said there was no connection between bin Laden and Saddam. Maybe you don’t think finding terrorist is important but the US Government does, just because all you see in the Media is Iraq this and Iraq that - does not mean the US Troops have left Afghanistan and threw in the towel. Many troops are still in Afghanistan and terrorist are being caught, but to the Media and the left the bigger story is how many people have died in Iraq, There is a lot of good going on in Iraq, the elections were a 100% success, more people came out and voted then expected and each of those voters put their life on the line to cast a vote. The focus did not shift, CNN would like you to think so, the focus is on both, it is also on North Korea, China, Russia, etc etc etc. I could explain to you why Saddam was less difficult to catch then OBL is, but think about it for a second and you should be able to figure it out.

You are right Clinton did more then nothing, he let OBL go free to live in Afghanistan, he did launch cruise missiles into Iraq, blew up a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, so on and so on.

Don’t know where you get your numbers, but Who won the last election? It was the same President who took America to Iraq wasn’t it? Seems more people agree with this war by your logic.

Secret US plans for Iraq's oil

By Greg Palast
Reporting for Newsnight

The Bush administration made plans for war and for Iraq's oil before the 9/11 attacks, sparking a policy battle between neo-cons and Big Oil, BBC's Newsnight has revealed.

Two years ago today - when President George Bush announced US, British and Allied forces would begin to bomb Baghdad - protesters claimed the US had a secret plan for Iraq's oil once Saddam had been conquered.

In fact there were two conflicting plans, setting off a hidden policy war between neo-conservatives at the Pentagon, on one side, versus a combination of "Big Oil" executives and US State Department "pragmatists".

"Big Oil" appears to have won. The latest plan, obtained by Newsnight from the US State Department was, we learned, drafted with the help of American oil industry consultants.

Insiders told Newsnight that planning began "within weeks" of Bush's first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th attack on the US.

An Iraqi-born oil industry consultant, Falah Aljibury, says he took part in the secret meetings in California, Washington and the Middle East. He described a State Department plan for a forced coup d'etat.

Mr Aljibury himself told Newsnight that he interviewed potential successors to Saddam Hussein on behalf of the Bush administration.

Secret sell-off plan

The industry-favoured plan was pushed aside by a secret plan, drafted just before the invasion in 2003, which called for the sell-off of all of Iraq's oil fields. The new plan was crafted by neo-conservatives intent on using Iraq's oil to destroy the Opec cartel through massive increases in production above Opec quotas.

The sell-off was given the green light in a secret meeting in London headed by Ahmed Chalabi shortly after the US entered Baghdad, according to Robert Ebel.

Mr Ebel, a former Energy and CIA oil analyst, now a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, told Newsnight he flew to the London meeting at the request of the State Department.

Mr Aljibury, once Ronald Reagan's "back-channel" to Saddam, claims that plans to sell off Iraq's oil, pushed by the US-installed Governing Council in 2003, helped instigate the insurgency and attacks on US and British occupying forces.

"Insurgents used this, saying, 'Look, you're losing your country, you're losing your resources to a bunch of wealthy billionaires who want to take you over and make your life miserable,'" said Mr Aljibury from his home near San Francisco.

"We saw an increase in the bombing of oil facilities, pipelines, built on the premise that privatisation is coming."

Privatisation blocked by industry

Philip Carroll, the former CEO of Shell Oil USA who took control of Iraq's oil production for the US Government a month after the invasion, stalled the sell-off scheme.

Mr Carroll told us he made it clear to Paul Bremer, the US occupation chief who arrived in Iraq in May 2003, that: "There was to be no privatisation of Iraqi oil resources or facilities while I was involved."

Ariel Cohen, of the neo-conservative Heritage Foundation, told Newsnight that an opportunity had been missed to privatise Iraq's oil fields.

He advocated the plan as a means to help the US defeat Opec, and said America should have gone ahead with what he called a "no-brainer" decision.

Mr Carroll hit back, telling Newsnight, "I would agree with that statement. To privatize would be a no-brainer. It would only be thought about by someone with no brain."

New plans, obtained from the State Department by Newsnight and Harper's Magazine under the US Freedom of Information Act, called for creation of a state-owned oil company favoured by the US oil industry. It was completed in January 2004 under the guidance of Amy Jaffe of the James Baker Institute in Texas.

Formerly US Secretary of State, Baker is now an attorney representing Exxon-Mobil and the Saudi Arabian government.

View segments of Iraq oil plans at www.GregPalast.com

Questioned by Newsnight, Ms Jaffe said the oil industry prefers state control of Iraq's oil over a sell-off because it fears a repeat of Russia's energy privatisation. In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, US oil companies were barred from bidding for the reserves.

Ms Jaffe says US oil companies are not warm to any plan that would undermine Opec and the current high oil price: "I'm not sure that if I'm the chair of an American company, and you put me on a lie detector test, I would say high oil prices are bad for me or my company."

The former Shell oil boss agrees. In Houston, he told Newsnight: "Many neo conservatives are people who have certain ideological beliefs about markets, about democracy, about this, that and the other. International oil companies, without exception, are very pragmatic commercial organizations. They don't have a theology."

A State Department spokesman told Newsnight they intended "to provide all possibilities to the Oil Ministry of Iraq and advocate none".
