Al-Suhail said, "The position of the Alliance is clear and frank, and talk of changing its candidate is incorrect.

 [Blogrevolution.com] BlogRevolution!: Not The Size Leave it to a car wreck of a President like George Bush to look at the current world situation and decide that it isn't his poorly thought out and executed policies that are at fault, but that the real source of it all is the military not being big enough .Look, if the U.S. military wasn't busy babysitting Iraq and trying to build a brand new nation that was never there while getting killed - there would be no military stretched thin.
