Shut up already! Don't talk about Iraq unless it's behind the scenes advice or after the election. You're killing us!

Killing us how?
What did they say?
I've had FNC on all day, and I have no idea what you are talking about.

They continue to provide aid and comfort to the enemy. Is their desire to be on the Sunday morning talk shows so desperate that they want to sabotage Bush?

Seemed to me that Bremer's statements were spun, or otherwise that the negatives were emphasized by the MSM.

Part of the problem with a media that partisan in either direction is that you can no longer candidly discuss lessons learned without taking a major black eye, or being able to realistically evaluate the good that has come about in spite of the struggles.

It's very frustrating, but I think people by and large are getting wise to the fact that what is reported isn't necessarily the truth.

The institutional culture of the federal government, especially at the State Department and the CIA but obviously pervading the entire bureaucracy, is liberal, openly Democrat, and intensely hostile to President Bush. That's why entrusting any portion of the occupation of Iraq and transition to democracy to State was a mistake. On the other hand, you have to work with what you've got - it's just a miracle things there aren't even worse, given the active sabotage of the President's program engaged in by the President's subordinates.

In other words, the bastards want Kerry to win.

I think they're doing more damage to Kerry (the fool). He got lured into the "See, they're not doing this right" line. Frankly, Kerry looks to be no more than a disgusting opportunist.

These Bush bashers get more air time than most Repubs collectively.

Seems that their egos are greater than their political committments; their Party loyalty - and are more important than their concerns for America's future.

It is nothing short of disgusting to see these men distinguish themselves as willing accomplices who are used so easily - and often - by our political enemies.

Now we need to add Rice and Rumsfeld.

Rice, for her bit about the aluminum tubes. Why bring that up, now?

And Rumsfeld, for the CFR comment. Ok, maybe it was twisted, maybe not.

Here's my take:
There's an element of the gay culture that is actively outing politicians in hopes of destroying their careers. Now in normal circles, they would be indicted for extortion. Lindsey Graham may have a concern about this, and if this is the case, he should be upfront about it and not risk losing re-election.
I also theorize that Orin Hatch has a similar problem, hence his desire to do everything Ted Kennedy wants, including changing the amendment to the Constitution to allow Ah-nold to run for President. It's sedition plain and simple, and yes, Kennedy would love to have his niece in the White House.

Actually, Kerry's run and his rhetoric is letting the entire Senate off the hook. If Kerry is guilty (and we already know he is) of dragging his feet on protecting this country, then so are the other 99 Senators.

Yep.
That information would be in there, and I'm sure she helped spread the word.

For sure; thought some are more guilty than others. . .

But why don't we go a little further; I blame anyone who voted for Clinton the SECOND time around. . .
