iraqi accent oh, these Boston Red Sox are oh, boy. Thats right. But the defeat of Saddam Hussein may be but the appetizer on a banquet of american whoopass. Though the United States military has digested and passed an entire middle eastern country its maw hangs slack and drooling for more. Syria in particular has been the subject of much saber rattling among the hawks and the bush administration, or as theyre collectively known, the bush administration. [laughter] secretary of state Donald Rumsfeld has said he believes syria is harboring low level members of Saddam Husseins regime. When asked recently if syria was next after iraq, the secretary responded, it depends on peoples behavior. Certainly i have nothing to announce, a dark hint from rumsfeld, who is the only high Ranking Member of the United States government ever to speak entirely in dark hints.

I will tell you today that what the president had done had been in exchange for concrete promises by the cuban government. We will begin to do this and that. I would be uncomfortable with elements of the deal but it would be harder to argue against. Understand this arrangement. We are going to do all these things with cuba. We will open up all these things were willing to do with cuba. Cuba says, thank you very much. We still want you to pay reparations and were not going to change a single thing. They have said that to their own people. They have rounded up over 90 dissidents, some of them wearing barack obama masks. If they want to continue down this path,

Because we created the first private School Choice programs, we expanded our charter schools, we eliminated social promotion, we put reading coaches in every school. We had accountability like nobodys business. We graded schools and no one could say an a school is not better than f school. The net result was, we had a 50 improvement in graduation. I know how to fix things because i was the governor of a state that improve things. Our income group 4. 4 every year.
