		<description>bq. Is that your only argument, that I’m wrong? Shouldn’t you try to prove it?

Shouldn't you try to prove that you are right, Amy? Or are we supposed to take it on faith that Amy Is Always Right?

bq. The Iraqi Foreign Minister is correct in his assertion that Iraq is bearing much of the burden...

How do we know this, Amy? What is Iraq actually spending on its own reconstruction?

Show me the money.

bq. The war is, after all, in their country.

Wow. What a grasp of the blatantly obvious you have, Amy. I am in awe.

bq. Sen. Levin doesn’t seem to understand that the Iraqi economy was completely demolished in 2003. 

Yap yap yap. What is Iraq actually spending on its own reconstruction?

bq. The banking system has only been opened for 2 years which is why Iraq uses US banks.

Yap yap yap. What is Iraq actually spending on its own reconstruction?

bq. Terrorists are constantly trying to sabatogue the banks and services which means they must be build and rebuilt.

Yap yap yap. What is Iraq actually spending on its own reconstruction?

bq. And we’re spending less than 1% of our GDP on Iraq.

Yap yap yap. What is Iraq actually spending on its own reconstruction?

bq. The point is that the world, including Iraq and Iran, watch the circus Democrats create on the Senate committee hearings and the insulting manner in which Democrats enjoy demeaning our allies with completely contradicts their idea that they have some hope of “restoring America’s reputation” in the world. They are what is damaging it.

No, Amy. The point is that if a rational person is to believe that Iraq is using its oil revenues for reconstruction rather than hoarding the money, &lt;strong&gt;proof of this assertion is required&lt;/strong&gt;.

You, on the other hand, apparently need no proof. 

bq. Leaders are always envied, criticized and put down. The U.S. is the world leader in almost every category. Democrats would rather subvert the US into a “peer pressure” acquiescence rather than embracing the “it’s lonely at the top” reality that comes along with leading the rest of the globe.

God forbid anyone ask inconvenient questions about what we are spending to reconstruct Iraq, right? Especially after the Bushies told us it could be easily paid for out of Iraq's oil revenue. Better for us to be good little sheeple and believe what we are told.

Thanks for clearing that up for us, Amy.</description>

The Iraqi Foreign Minister is correct in his assertion that Iraq is bearing much of the burden and if you look at it from a purely geographical standpoint it can be argued that they are bearing the overwhelming brunt of the burden. The war is, after all, in their country.

Sen. Levin doesn't seem to understand that the Iraqi economy was completely demolished in 2003.  The banking system has only been opened for 2 years which is why Iraq uses US banks.  Terrorists are constantly trying to sabatogue the banks and services which means they must be build and rebuilt.
