Typical Donovan:

First make an incorrect statement, in this case calling an Iraqi a foreigner in his own country. 

Then when this is pointed out, shift the subject, in this case the nonsensical sovereignty argument.  Our democracy is lost because of two shoes?  Ridiculous.  

Third, when someone disagrees with this, launch personal attacks that are lies and nonsense.  You can't prove a single claim you make against me because you've made it all up.  You got nothing, Donovan, nothing but your loud empty-headed yelling.

You accuse me of supporting expediency?  BS.  You're the guy willing to ignore laws to hold 'accused terrorists' forever and you accuse me of being expedient?  BS.

You're not just full of crap, you're covered with it.
