Waaah I said something mean, give me a "2"! Pathetic.

This is about confrontation folks. The Republicans come out and say "you're all pussies and faggots". That's really what they're saying.

If somebody says this to you, you don't prove them wrong by bellowing and waving your member around. Then you look weaker than before!

The Dems run from this debate because they are afraid of being called pussies and faggots. Deep down it is because we are pussies and faggots and rightly so. So what if they call us those names? So what if we are? Withdrawal is the right thing to do.

(Of course it's not like Jean Schmidt actually SAID it, she had to go read a letter to the editor or something. Then the Republicans sent her up there to read some anonymous nasty note. That tells you something about their courage.)

It's no such sign, it was a brilliant move. The Republicans may be desperate, weak and imploding but that's not what happened in Congress. The Dems were revealed as people ready to murmer and nod while Murtha was talking, but not ready to actually vote for withdrawal.

And the Vietnam thing doesn't work, by God. Dems always try to substitute physical courage for political. Not the same. Abraham Lincoln?

The Republicans could attack this way because their substance against Murtha was solid. Sorry to say. They knew that Dems would latch onto Murtha and try to use him to chip away at the war, but they wouldn't do ti themselves. The other Dems mostly would not be as courageous as Murtha.

The same thing happened with Rove wgat was it last year, and we have this outraged reaction, as the Dems rush up and flex their biceps. But if people needed muscular foreign policy thay have Bush. The Dems can never be that racist and brutal. I have to laugh every time I see the Dems go for this bait.

There are times when the country needs racist and brutal leadership to go after our enemies. The thing is, this is not that time. Withdrawal is defeat, at least be honest with yourselves.  

I think we all know that the USA is going to withdraw from Iraq within a year or two.  The congress just needs 3000 US soldiers dead for it (so about another 50,000 Iraqis). That's all. They should have voted for withdrawal.

Gore was a very good tactician against Bill Bradley and then against Bush. I was on the other side with Bradley but I had to admire Gore's operation.

I felt like his real accusation was directed at the American people. He might as well say that the people had all the same information he did, so it's not fair for people to be polling against the war now.

Hey, maybe they're really mad at the Israelis. Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with the cartoons. Maybe they were mad before the cartoons.

Cartoons don't make people mad.

Whoah there, "solutions"? You're reading wayyy too much into this post. Muslims=bad pretty much more of the same.

I'm sorry "stuff they had in the 80s".

Thank you Matt good post.

The point of the science is that it dismisses the yellowcake story out of hand from day 1, Oct 2002.

They couldn't use yellowcake. They never successfully made nuke material with the stuff they had in the 90s.

So it didn't make any sense for them to buy yellowcake. I think the nuclear physicist Gordon Prather made this point about 100 times before the war.

The only thing Mehlis has on Syria is that some guy in Iran said Syria did it.

Here you go, taking the bait hook line and sinker, all over again. I think I'm going to send an open letter to all the students in your department telling them they should ask for a discount.

How can you be so credulous. The war folk would love to have a war with Syria, why aren't you on your guard. I'm sorry to get personal but where have you been living for the past five years. 

Doesn't the plame Niger Uranium thing mean anything to you? What planet are you living on. If anything furthers the war folk, I assume it is false from the beginning. I don't see how anybody living in AMerica for the past five years can do otherwise.

Unless you want to have a war with Syria. Or unless you think the way ahead is to fall in behind Bush and WAR in general. Don't think the French or Mr Mehlis or H Clinton are incapable of making the same bargain.
