"Harmless to our enemies and treacherous to our friends" - Bernard Lewis
The chorus is deafening.
Yesterday the bloated windbag who in the end worries more about his view than the environment told us "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam".
Biden is totally against more men, and to boot, so apparently are varied people like Sen's. Brownback, Snowe and Collins, however, Biden is going to try and cut off funds putting him in the same camp with Mr. Kucininch.
What dynamic are these idiots viewing? What's their plan? More of the same, less, leave? Withdrawal, without a free Iraq will have results.
We can't just say, 'we won, you people suck and are corrupt killers, murdering each other, and friends of terrorists, so , so long and thanks for all the fish' .. the result of that will be as a leader of jihadistan has said ..."There is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq...an evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America is destroyed" - Jihad Jaara, Palestinian Islamic Jihad

I believe that no matter WHAT reality obtained in 2003, we are in a different one now. We are in a pivotal battle, in THE pivotal war. It's Iran, the salafi freaks, Hizballah and forces like the Baath, Syria, and Kim Jong Il against ideas that religious tolerance, free expression, and self government are ONE PATH in the human development experiment.
