thinkprogress.org— The hard-charging neocon faces off against an actual journalist during a BBC interview, and has his previous statements about Iraq fact-checked. Very entertaining.

Offtopic, and somewhat nit-picking, but the population of England is 50 million. We then cuddle up to 5 million Scots, 3 million Welsh* to make Britain, and 2 million in Northern Ireland to make the United Kingdom (60 million).England hasn't existed as a sovereign state for 300 years.*Technically Wales is part of England, but I'm not nearly enough to argue such a technicality with the valleys relatively close by.
@nomore:Not sure you are getting it. It is Iraqi's blowing up markets full of Iraqi's. That is to state that the US is not the terrorist nor the victim, that form of "bloody mayhem" and many others like it in Iraq are not directed towards the US involvement, it is of a nature that was there before the US got there.BTW, we don't yet know the nature of the recent college killing, so it would be irresponsible to comment on it.Saddam was NOT complying with the UN.
Wow.... I guess people can just say anything they want these days. As long as people like this are going to live in a fantasy-land, it's up to us to take away their military toys.
"your statement is arguable, at most, but the Iraqi people are blowing up markets, markets filled with their own people. That type of mentality was there well before the US came."But the bombings weren't. They only started AFTER the invasion, so your argument is hollow. And there was never any threat to America from Saddam. There was a threat to Israel, in that he supported Palestine, but NOT to America. You fell for the lies before the invasion, and you are obviously falling for the lies after the invasion.
@cartoonalLooked at the picture and have decided I don't WANT Gorgeous George personally!Your point about George 'sucking up to Saddam' is false - all he was doing was trying to break the sanctions that caused so many children to die during that period through lack of medical supplies. He sued the Daily Telegraph over such false allegations and won after it was proven in court that the newspaper had defamed his character. Even if what you say is true his eloquent tirade against the hypocrisy of the US Senate with absolutely no deference overshadowed all that. I'd vote for George any day to replace my own Democratic Congresswoman who is as weak on the Middle East as they get, no doubt over influenced by pressure from The Lobby.

Coulter is quite formidable; a total and utter psychopath, and not to be underestimated.
