Kind of a compromise between those who don't want them to leave for fear of their egos being bruised (what will the whole world think kinda thing) plus forgin a clearer mandate of what they are to do. That could include a diminished US troops presence and capacity, patrolling and protecthing smaller designated areas. I am not hell bent on an American presence (which is the main reason for the Bushies) but my main concern is the Iraqi people. The troops might not seem to make a lot of difference, but I think leaving a vacuum will make things a whole lot worse. So pulling out but not filling the vacuum does not seem like a safe course of action. But, I could be wrong!<BR/>Jeremiah..shrimps are not exactly mainstaple Canadian fare, they must have overlooked it..sorry!<BR/>Betmo, are you close enough to the Canadian border to receive Canadian tv? When I lived in Ottawa, I could watch the NY state public television and they would at the end of their programming, not only play the American anthem, but the Canadian one since they had plenty of Canadian viewers.<BR/>IngridIngridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22346965.post-1156274664558287382006-08-22T14:24:00.000-05:002006-08-22T14:24:00.000-05:00yes- the american corporate media is very lacking....yes- the american corporate media is very lacking. thanks for a heads up to the cbc.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206096509976316141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22346965.post-1156171566134867912006-08-21T09:46:00.000-05:002006-08-21T09:46:00.000-05:00I jez want ta point out that in your so-called "me...I jez want ta point out that in your so-called "media", not one time wuz thar a mention of that thar Jon Binet killer that ate them shrimps on the plane....<BR/><BR/>You call that news coverage?
