#1 Well, but it's still a quagmire. The war is lost. Ask Harry.

#2 I'm afraid it is lost, Bobby. On exactly the same battlefields as Vietnam was lost - American college campuses, network tv news studios, New York Times etc., and in the shallow, Hilton-obsessed, ADD-afflicted minds of the Americans they cater to, which appear to be a solid majority. In a democracy you get the government you deserve --- keep your ammo locker stocked.

#5 Glenmore. Respectfully. if that were really really true, Nancy and Harry would NOT have folded so completely on the supplemental funding bill.

Despite what the media say are the poll numbers on Iraq, the political opportunists in Washington know that "cut n' run" is a loser. (yet they still affect a tale of sound and fury to their rabidly insane BDS afflicted base. And Harry Reid makes the perfect idiot to tell it)

#6 the two terrorists disregarded the interpreter's instructions and approached the ground force.
BANG! BANG! "I said "Halt!", dammit!"

Tasteful and appropos Shakespearean allusion there, Op. Keep up the good work.
