It's "couldn't care less".

We'll never take back the White House with such poor grammar.

I really do feel bad for the girl. She shouldn't have to deal with this in the public eye. I'm really interested to see the reactions of the staunch Right-wingers to this news. Are they going to throw Palin under the bus, or will they be able to forgive and forget?

As Colin Powell correctly stated, its not incumbent upon the international community to prove that Saddam has WMD, its incumbent upon Saddam to prove that he does not.

As the CNN poll already showed, the majority of Americans already supported the use of US military force to remove Saddam from power PRIOR to 9/11.

And since the very intelligence reports we shall pick and choose from do not support action, we shall pick sentences out of context to make our case...

Saddam's non-compliance alone is enough to support military action, and none of the information that was not included in the NIE in 2002 would change the fact that Saddam was a threat that had to be removed. The idea that such information suggested Saddam was not a threat is absurd and would be in total contradiction to everything that the United States intelligence community, US military, 3 different Presidential administrations, intelligence agencies in other countries, and current and previous US military deployments and actions in the region since the end of the 1991 Gulf War.

...And we shall promise our congress that we will indeed go through the UN but because we are afraid of the French Veto we shall use a vaguely proposed resolution that scholars can debate forever...it shall be called RES 1441 and it shall give us just enough cover to make war.

The Resolution was not any more vague than the resolution that authorized the use of military force to remove Saddam from Kuwait in 1991.

And this shall ruin our ability to conduct honest foreign policy for years to come. Because even though it was the right thing to do...conducting it dishonestly...will Fuck us for generations.

Well, there are some people out there that passionately believe that. But with NATO conducting its largest military operation in history outside of Europe, less than a decade after it struggled to actually intervene in a conflict within Europe, it appears their beliefs are incorrect. The cherry picking by those opposed to the administration is not going to change the fact that no one lied.

If he did, it certainly would not be because of Obama's opposition to the removal of Saddam in 2003.

Throw her under the bus? I don't think so. In fact, she is the model of what the right wingers would expect. Pregnant, but keeping the baby, and marrying the father. And mostly likely, fully supported by the Feminists for Life - Women Deserve Better , which helps teens like this still go to college, pursue their careers, etc... by encouraging extended family (and the father's family) to get involved.

Yay!

Kind of puts a dent into the other story though huh? She's five months pregnant.

Lol -- BVS, you don't think she knew how one gets pregnant? Hmmm... I don't think so. This is just a different path. The family will be tighter, stronger, and one larger.

No worries.

Considering Palin is a strong proponent of abstinence-only sex education, she probably, and I say this as a child of parents who believed the same way, she likely never taught her children about the different methods of contraception. People with strong abstinence-only beliefs, think that telling their children about using any form of birth control or protection will encourage them to have sex. To them, it's best to just tell their kids to not have sex. The problem with this way of thinking is that many of these teens are going to have sex regardless, of what their parents say. If they've never been taught how to have safe, protected sex, they're going to be much less likely to use contraception, and, therefore, much more likely to become pregnant (or get a girl pregnant, as the case may be). All parents should tell their children what their beliefs are about sex and their expectations for their teen's sexual behavior. They should also know, however, that teens will make their own choices about sex, and they need to teach their children all the ways of protecting themselves, so situations like this become less common. I'm glad that the Palins are supporting their daughter, but no one should be standing up and cheering for the pregnancy and marriage of a 17 year old.

You'd be suprised some at the misinformation I've heard come out of the mouths of abstinence only children.
