Subtle gong alert, scrolled on the bottom of the screen.
>>>Or at the very least, unleash our armed forces and let them do their job.<<<
Post of the day so far! With that, I gotta get off FR for awhile and regroup. This has been too much... I don't know what to think anymore.
My eldest son goes to boot camp within the week. I'm not a happy camper.
I can't imagine what Bush is thinking and going through today...
His job is tough and it hurts to see so many negative comments about him and what he's saying. Seems like a lot of fare-weather fans (for lack of a better description).
Damn scary. My nephew just went over to Iraq in September and now all this is going down. Time to pray harder than ever for all our own serving right now.
The democrats have now been give a responsibility. They cannot continue to just sit and criticize. The next Presidential election will be very soon. They cannot put themselves in a position where they are blamed for terror attacks, losing the war, etc.
I just do not know what to say..
I give Bush this.He is honest to a fault.His emotions and glue are in an honest reaction mode. Ain't a single handfull of politicians that honest
I agree - I'm not hearing a defeatist.
so why didn't he do this in August?
This needs to stop..NOW.
Bush trying to clarify that the cumulitive affect of the election is a thumping to the NYT reporter...
Yes, Suzanne just asked a very hurtful question. I wish I could see all the skeletons in their closets but they cover each other's backs.
Rumsfeld has been trying to resign for at least a couple years. Maybe Rumsfeld wanted out.
Not really. Its the people who have always supported him who can't understand anything he's saying in this presser.
Bush has only lost once in his career. I don't think he has the slightest clue how to deal with it.
I can tell him this much. This isn't how you handle loss.
He should have looked to Leiberman for an example. You strike back and put your opponent on the defensive before they've even adjusted to winning one battle.
What he should have been doing effective immediately was announcing the terrorists in Iraq and their sympathtizers are not going to face a restrained military anymore and started pounding them down into the ground. Then he should have taken the new tone gloves off and started telling people the truth about the Dems, the Islamofascists and articulate the conservative message that helped Dems win last night.
Instead we get Rummy sacrificed to the wolves and further appeals to new tone.
get him out now. get him out of the military if you can. the american people who elected this Dem majority, are not worthy of his valor and sacrifice.
Maybe we'll be less PC in how we fight now? That would be good.
