Talk to the State Department which is filled with nambies. I know, this isn’t news.

When Israel was granted territory it was a tiny tiny sliver off the larger British protectorate. [...]
Those non-existent WMD’s from Iraq? Yeah, well they just moved a 500 tons of uranium from Iraq to Canada…. Of course the Administration never said they would find any, only that they were trying to build them, and I think 500 tons of low grade Uranium, some in various states of refinement, counts under “trying [...]
While Der Spiegel writes of a a brighter future in baghdad National public Radio writes of Insurgents Turn Themselves In to U.S., Iraqi Troops. There ought to be some cut-and-run Democrats a bit worried….
