#1 I don't want to know what kind of wife he has...

#2 What Anonymoose said.

If Novak's right, and we bug out this year-- or next, or the one after-- without taking full advantage of the strategic position we've won, I'm giving up not only on this President, but on this country; it would mean our entire political leadership is simply too fucking stupid to win this war.

#3 Agreed. He wants to elect Repubs in 06 and 08, doesn't give a damn about the longer term consequences.

#4 Novak's been against the Iraq war (in fact he's had an unabashed affection for Arab dictators and against Israel... neocons =jooooo tools)since the start. Anything he says was spoon-fed by an Anti-W side, like, say...the State Dept

#5 don't believe me? Find a kind word he's written about Wolfowitz, just one sentence. Novak is what Chris Matthews will look like when balding and half-a-stroke to slow down his interrupting interviewees

#6 Lol. Novak's as politically schizophrenic / goofy as Buchanan, as self-absorbed as Krugman and Friedman combined, and as credible as Jeanne Dixon, whom he emulates regularly. He was cominc relief 20 yrs ago when I watched him on TV. Now, well, he's just kinda pathetic.

#7 Both he and Buchanan have that dark-we-don't-wanna-talkaboutit streak...I loved when commenters on his last presidential speech said it sounded better "in the original German" lol

#9 Novak has been on a bender of late, more misses and hits.

Condi works for Bush, period. Colin worked for himself, period. Bush isn't turning on the Iraqi nascient government. We will draw down by June 2006, leaving a significant embassy and military base. "Escape from Iraq?" What a loser phrase.

#10 Why so responses inspite of no article to read? Is it knee jerk/diss Robert Novak happy hour time?

#11 plato (not) - Little Bobby Novak has been around a looooong time and is extremely well known to those who aren't fucking idiots or children. This would be just one more Bobby Novak Magical Mystery Tour.

You got a woodie for him?
