#1 I am very offended.

#2 In Kashmir, where terrorist leaders were discredited by defeat, locals turned against them. There is some evidence that that is occuring in Iraq. Other evidence is that self-described "leftist blogger" Juan Cole (a speaker of Arabic and Farsi), is desperate to find evidence of jihadi success. He is resorting to reporting directly from al-Qaeda in Iraq's website. What a despicable academic fraud. "Angry Arab" (Asad Abu-Khalil) is worse; I screamed at him during a radio call in, last year.

#3 Remember when AQ types applauded the Dems majority win and urged them to follow through on their promises for surrender (withdrawal)? Instead Bush et al went on the offensive (surge) in Iraq, which seems to be working out well, and the Dems were largely ignored. So now the Dems have been shown to be only talk and bluster (kind of arab-like maybe) not just to AQ but the Iraqi people, and they have gotten a taste of how America works (sort of) - . The people of Iraq might just be taking heart and siezing this once in a lifetime moment to free themselves (neighborhood watches, tribal realignments, Iraqi govt reshuffles). I have some hope; not going to put a wad of money on it, but I have hope.

#4 Warner, respected authority? By whom? On what?

The Georgetown elites and their Northern VA kindred he's trying to suck up to? No, they'll vote for the donk in the general regardless of whether the Respected Authority runs.

The Republican base in the rest of the state? I'm thinking they'll see through this RINO before the next primary.

But he'll gain a lot more respect from his WaPo friends when he decides it's time to turn over his seat to a younger generation. Look how respected Reagan became when he died.
