#1 I see they've got their fingers in ~~their rectums~~ the wind.

#2 Every time I start to get swayed by the anti-American forces speaking against US efforts in Iraq I step back and remember just why Vietnam ended up as the template for future US military efforts/failures. We lost the conflict because we lost the will to win, which we lost because the media convinced us we were not winning and could not win. The media were wrong then - e.g. Tet was a devastating loss for the VC - but we listened. The nation cannot afford to let them get away with another self-fulfilling prophesy.

#3 Abandoning U.S.-Iraq policies would be a huge long-lasting disaster for any future U.S. foreign policy. These GOP candidates are short-sighted and too hungry to try to get elected. How are they different than the "cut and run" demo crowd?

#4 How are they different than the "cut and run" demo crowd?

Their votes keep Karl Levin from heading the House Armed Services Committee and Joe Biden from heading the Senate Judiciary Committee.

#5 my Rep - Duncan Hunter, couldn't be more pro-Bush Iraq policy. Nice they missed discussing that and similar districts

#6 These people publicly aver the Olmert doctrine: They are tired of the war. They are tired of fighting. They are tired of winning. I think that in reality, they are tired of living and would do the rest of us a favor by dying quickly and quietly.
