Good news from Iraq.

Take the time to read this British story about the real positive situation in Iraq. Maybe Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi think we should abandon these people to be massacred by the terror monsters who would fill our vacuum in Iraq.

Something to think about.

Anbar worked because my Iraq policy goal of peace by ethnic and religious group separation works.

Anbar explains why so much of Iraq, particularly the Baghdad area, remains a boiling cauldron with Sunnis and Shiites living cheek by jowl. Peace and stability would come quickly following an intense burst of violence as those populations separated following an American withdrawal. Be very much like the India-Pakistan situation when the British left in 1948.

The road to victory in the War Against Terror is to understand how the Islamic world works, and to respect its way of life.

Our behavior brings to mind the plot of the movie "Starship Troopers". Earth is in a fight to death with a planet in a distant galaxy inhabited by giant insect population with no technology save for the ability to send city destroying incendiary spitballs at earth.

The movie suggests had we left them be there'd have been no war. There's an amazing scene in which the troopers come across a Mormom encampment filled with dead missionaries slain by the insects!

What America needs is a restrained foreign policy much like what we had before the Spanish-American War. Next year is the 110th anniversary of that conflict. Cuba is still enslaved and the world still isn't safe for democracy.

Really suggest seeing the movie before slamming me.

With a global oil spot and major producers scattered about the globe desperate for revenue we're not dependent on anyone for oil. Muslim ME oil producers are in a very different political and economic situation than before the Yom Kippur War. Previously they ran large surpluses but now they need to spend every dollar on development to keep their populations in line.

They should be paying us 100% of the cost to maintain a military presence. They need us rather than vice versa.

Very likely as the polar ice retreats vast oil and gas fields will be discovered in American, Canadian and Danish (Greenland) controlled waters. That's why in my experience as an investor intergrated oil giant shares are soaring.

Teddy - How about some post-debate analysis?

Holy Mother of God, Klein! Are you serious with those posts? Sweet Jesus, baby! It's pure fantasy. Fantasy!

On the other hand you make a strong case in point for electing you. Like Reagan we can wind up your senile old ass enough for a few photo shoots, or a 10 minute babble speak about how it's morning in America, and leave the actual governing of this Nation to those grounded enough in reality to grease the palms of those of us who really need some non-taxable graft to further bloat our Swiss Bank Accounts.

You've got me on your side now, baby! Klein for President! Right On!
