#1 No surprise here - Petraeus' job is to suppor Iraqi democracy and Iraqi dmeocratic governing authority-agenda in Iraq, + US agenda, + destroy any and all violent insurgents, internal and external, in protection and propagation of same. The only way to defeat Dubya's resolve is for Radical Islam-Iran to either kill him or wait until after he formally leaves office come January 2009. IFF RECENT NEWS REPORTS ARE EVEN MARGINALLY ACCURATE, MANY DEDICATED ISLAMISTS + TERRORISTS, ETAL. ARE NOW REALIZING AMER ITSELF MUST BE ATTACKED FROM WITHIN, that Radical islam will lose = never get Amer to leave the ME-Muslim World unless WARFARE, CHAOS, + ANARCHIES BEGIN INSIDE AMERICA, AND AMER FINALLY DESTABILIZED IFF NOT DESTROYED. * E.G. CINDY SHEEHAN > "THE REVOLUTION/WAR IS HERE [IN AMERICA]".

#2 Thank you, Joe -- and also, I was so touched by your words about Lady Bird and her flowers reaching all the way to Guam. I guess I just thought that was a Texas thing for us.....

I thought about your words tonight, as I watched the news coverage, of her arrival for her last appearance at the LBJ library, and her daughter, Lucy, greeting with hugs and tears, those "unknown friends" of her parents, as she called them, who had stood in line, in our Texas heat, for hours, just to be there.

#3 What happened to our President? This interview reflects very strong leadership. This is not the man I've been used to hearing for the last couple years.

#4 That whore shehan has not even given her Son a grave yet. She is detestable in my eyes.
That is the base of your party, democrats. Think she can keep you safe? at least she cant use her political power to move contracts around.

I would not piss on congress if they are on fire.
I rather drown them.

#5 No US presence in the Middle East? That would contribute to security; the security of Iran.

Have you actually been hearing him, or listening to people tell you what he's thinking? I believe he's been very consistent, but he finally lost patience with the folks managing the war and, like a good CEO, finally put a new team (Petraeus) in place.

#8 Sherry, if an entire comment disappears most likely you inserted one of Fred's Magic Woids. Not sure of the entire list but here is one of them..

C*rap.. once you discover the offending woid, an asterisk lets them go thru.

these days I always copy my comments in case they up and disappear. that's if i remember...

#9 Did any of the Lady Bird obits mention her stake in Haliburton and Brown & Root as a result? I mean here is a democrat investing in that Bushitler oil grabbing Cheney war machine.

#10 With Bush the method may change but the goal wil not. We need to make sure we elect a successor with the same intestinal fortitude.
