W and Gates got two years to clean this thing up..if they don't, if it goes bad, Hello President Obama.

And you can bet the 'Rats (and some RINOs) will be doing all they can to ensure that it all goes to snot.

I think after today with all this Oprahlike stuff we need some quotes from "Patton"

"We're gonna keep fighting. Is that CLEAR? We're gonna attack all night we're gonna attack the next morning. If we're not VICTORIOUS. Let no man come back alive."

"Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose"

"The bilious bastards who came up with that stuff about individuality know as much about battle as they do about fornicating."

God do we need a Patton today.

Face it--all you know you learned from somebody else's report. You don't have a clue about what goes on behind the scenes and you sure don't know anything about Rumsfield or Gates.

[what's up]

Rumsfeld would have been crucified by committee after committee if he had stayed on.

What's so hard to figure out?

Get up out of the wrong side of the rock today buddy? I saw/listened to Gates testimony before Congress. Do I understand Englis? Mostly.
