#1 I'm pretty sure I know where Omar Bradley would have suggested James Webb jam his proposal.

#2 Mellon Head Webb is on a role. 5 more years and he can retire again.

#3 I heard about this on the radio, can in to work, and dashed off the following e-mail to the Senator from my (present)home state: I heard on the radio this morning, Senator, that you were introducing a bill relating to rest periods for the troops. How thoughtful. Were it at another time, I would appreciate your concern for the brave men and women your son and mine included - who lay their lives on the line to keep us free.

At this time, however, it appears to be another play in the Schumer-Reid plan to lose the war so that more Democrats can get elected, no matter how many dead Americans and Iraqis it takes.

The enemy knows they can not defeat us on the field of battle, only in the halls of Congress. Some days, it seems only Senator Lieberman understand that. I want to win the war, Senator. To give it away is to waste our blood and treasure, as we did in 1975.

#4 Maybe Ollie North can challenge him to a rematch of their Brigade Boxing bout.

#5 Just a ploy on the part of Webb and Reid to prematurely stop the war. A loss in Iraq plays into dhemmi hands. They care little for the troops.

#6 He is turning out to be a bigger disappointment than Wes Clark.

#7 This is insane! We need to start a WIN THE WAR campaign or something like that. Start a group that promotes honorable victory in Iraq instead of this constant drumbeat of defeat and shame.

I wonder how popular something like that would actually be. Does something like this already exist?
