I agree... this is the liberal media trying to twist her answers to try to discredit her. I think she is great! And a breath of fresh air!
Discredit her?! She does very well on her own to do that. This moron who you think is breath of fresh air believes Iraq is responsible for murdering my friends on 9/11! Something Bush has already taken back saying.

Jon lol it was the Treaty of Versailles that I'm talking about. The League of Nations was founded as a result of this. But the Treaty itself is all binding even today. That's why I don't understand our invasion of Iraq. We should have been stopped a long time ago. But every country needs us for something so they stood by and let us go in and then we bullied other countries along the way to help our murdering selves.
Bonnie, the United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty terms may indeed be binding today, but it is not an all-encompassing document; it outlined the provisions for ending the war between the Allies and the Central Powers (Germany in particular). In other words, it has absolutely no bearing on the actions of the United States in Iraq; a moot point, considering that the United States (as a non-signatory) would not be bound to observe the terms of the Treaty, even if it DID encompass the affairs of the Middle East.
In regards to your statement that "we" should have been stopped long ago, the United States was not the only nation to invade Iraq.
If anything, a better example would be the United Nations charter.

Here is a link to the text of the treaty:

Is this the same pact that got everybody on board to defeat Hitler ? You sure ? I'm gonna do some checking coz that don't sound right.
Hitler used the Treaty of Versailles, with its excessively punitive terms, to come to power; one of his biggest motives was revenge against the Allied powers for imposing the harsh terms of the Treaty and ruining Germany financially, militarily and economically.
There was no single pact that "everyone got on board to defeat Hitler."
Mind you, I'm not backing the invasion of Iraq; I've been against it since the beginning, but I'm just pointing out historical fact.

Palin is one crazy broad. If she and McCain win, it'll be the end of a free America.

It is easy to see most of you swallowed the lead-in bait hook line and sinker.
Did any one here actually watch the interview?

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Libra

Going shopping today? Then don't be surprised if you splash out on items that are that little bit different from your usual purchases. For instance, if you set off for the supermarket you might end up buying lots of exotic ingredients so you can experiment with them. This is unlikely to get out of hand unless you're feeling bored or fed up, in which case you'll want to spend your way out of your current mood.
