Thanks for the ping Nully !And Arjay (from post #29):
I am really fed up with the antiwar crowd and the lies of the left. Their constant harping is encouraging the Iraqi extremists and costing coalition (especially American) lives.
I agree. I was especially angered by fat teddy this week and his big mouth. I sent the fat bas*ard two emails, I was so angered!

Here is the email I sent him EARLY yesterday morning:
Dear Senator Kennedy:
The enemies of our troops in Iraq are gleeful that you have chosen to help weaken our resolve to win the war on terror.
What happened to the days when criticism of the President stopped at the borders ? President Bush has bent over backwards to work with you and get bills passed in the Senate. President Bush has talked about how well you have served your constituents in the Senate. President Bush's father gave you an award earlier this year. And now you are stabbing them both in the back over politics, and endangering the lives of our troops.
Please do the honorable thing and resign immediately.

Learning from Sadr
Listen to the Iraqis.
By Michael Rubin
As violence provoked by Muqtada al-Sadr's fringe Jaysh al-Mahdi militia enters its third day, Washington remains in a frenzy of misplaced panic. Senator Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.), in remarks rebroadcast throughout the Arab world on the al-Jazeera satellite television, declared "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam and this country needs a new president." Senators Richard Lugar (R., Ind.) and Joseph Biden (D., Del.) raised the spectre of civil war in separate April 6 interviews. Speaking on the floor of the U.S. Senate on April 7, Robert Byrd (D., W.Va.) went further, calling on the United States to pull out of Iraq.Allies and adversaries alike interpret such statements as weakness. For Arab liberals, they raise the spectre of American abandonment, an obsession brought on by our failure to support Iraqi freedom in 1991. For militant Islamists and potential Jihadist recruits, the senators' statements reinforce the notion that Americans will reward violence, just as did the Spanish electorate in the wake of the March 11 train bombings. While headlines may scream doom and gloom, more telling is the reaction of the Iraqi street. Muqtada al-Sadr's uprising and the fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi have put Iraq to the test. And Iraqis have passed with flying colors.
