#1 Elizabeth Edwards, his wife and political partner, who listened in on the interview from a seat across the aisle, intervened at the end of the session to underscore that Mr. Edwards did not intend to stop all training and was prepared to train Iraqi forces outside of the country

Did she pull her hand out of puppet-boy's ass? He's just a purty face on an empty suit. She's the one with spine, balls, and brains, but hires Amanda Marcotte for campaign blogger. Both of them will be distant memories in a few months. Good riddance

#2 this is a stupid tactic. The American Senators and Congressmen rejected any proposal to handicap or pull out troops from Iraq with almost unanimous votes, every time. The only ones who voted against the real proposals(not the meaningles non-binding ones)were the very few in places where it is impossible to unseat them.

But of course, he's a stupid hair-headed dolt, so it is not surprisng.

#3 Redeploy to Iowa, wait for it all to go to shit and then go back in to stop the genocide. Sounds like a plan to me. Not a good plan, mind you, but a plan.

#5 "Mr. Edwards staked out a position that would lead to a more rapid and complete troop withdrawal than his principal rivals, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama..."

Hmmm...going for all those suddenly available Kucinich votes is he?

#6 Forget it Ebbang, Iowa is a lost cause, best to defend a line Austin, Denver, Spokane and hope for the best.

#7 Just today saw the newsweak with edwards on the cover, loosening his tie in 'a blue collar work ethic' pose with the word 'sleeper' printed. After the infidelity accusations all I could think of was that it looked like an application photo for a Malaysian Health Official Post; had the thumpy bass music playing in my head and everything.

#9 To me, that is a continuation of the occupation of Iraq,

Forget about Iraq! What is pretty John going to do about ending our occupation of Germany? Troops Home Now!
