[what's up]

You're looking for a logical answer I presume?

And expecting to find one from a Bush basher? Good luck.

I am no one's idea of a "Bush Basher". Have you met the man? Worked for his election? Shaken his hand? I have. And I am still disappointed in the extreme. It would have cost the President no political capital whatsoever to offer public support for his Secretary of Defense, even while acknowledging the need for a re-evaluation of the situation on the ground. I was, and am offended that neither was offered.

The American Left, thirsty as ever for the blood of its adversaries, demands human sacrifices in tribute to its fantasies. Rumsfeld was offered up, and gladly accepted by the High Priests of the New York Times editorial board. But, as you should know by now, no sacrifice is ever enough to whet the appetite of wealthy liberal Sodomites.

We are at war, partly to help Iraqis regain control of their destiny, but moreover to save the world from the scourge of intolerant Mohammedans seeking to destroy all those who reject their 7th century fanaticism. I look forward to a leader who admits as much and is willing to tell the testicularly-challenged editorialists of our Dead Tree Media just where they can go, and how.
