Wasn't John Kerry's response to Iyad Allawi's Congress speech just pathetic? Full of negativity, berating Allawi for trying to point out that there's also some progress happening in Iraq, which undermines Kerry's "the sky has already fallen" Iraq rhetoric. Kerry had an opportunity to appear presidential and statesmanlike; .....and launched into fisking of Allawi's "contradictions" as if Iraq was a swing state and Kerry was on the hustings somewhere in Baghdad.

Kerry's-perpetual-unhappitude-bump
Any day now he's gonna' whip out that 1971 Senate testimony and do search-and-replace on the "Vietnam"s, to "Iraq."
Actually, it came across more than a little condescending and racist.
Disgraceful also comes to mind.
Kerry persuaded the MIA/POW Senate committee to vote unanimously that no POWs existed in Vietnam in order to open up trade with Vietnam (his cousin C. Stewart Forbes, CEO of Colliers Intl, received a contract for a huge commercial deal worth at least $905 million to develop a deep-sea commercial port at Vung Tau).

Exactly right. Of course we don't want GWB to be unrealistic but for crying out loud, he is trying to show hope and optimism for the future of the Iraqi people, and the security and freedom of Americans. For Kerry to trash this attitude and scream doom and gloom is completely counterproductive. Not to mention it shows he has a character Americans DO NOT want in a president. I will truly live in fear of what may happen in our future if he and Edwards get into power. God help us all.
Meet Eeyore. This expresses very well what Eeyore is like: depressed. If you ask Eeyore for his opinion you'll probably get the most negative opinion you'd ever dreamed off.
He might want to consider sections of D.C., Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, NYC.........
Is he suggesting that we cancel our presidential elections?
