Thanks.

It's too early to declare victory, but this is progress. Nothing would halt it faster than Rumsfeld's forced resignation.

Which is exactly why the Liberals and clueless RINOs are attacking Rumsfeld.They want us to cut bait and run.

Thanks for the ping!

During the presidential campaign, John Kerry vacillated between two anthems: Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender" and "I Won't Back Down," by Tom Petty.

LOL. Classic.

Thank you.

You got to see this one posted by Doctor Raoul:

Sophisticates trained to value irony, self-doubt and skepticism (except, of course, regarding global warming), they see uncertainty as the mark of intellectual honesty.

Heh... heh... yeah... of course, they only insist on that mark for those who disagree with them. ;')

Bush should get the song translated into Arabic, Persian and French and have the Marine band - conducted by Donald Rumsfeld - play it at his inauguration.

Great idea. And they can make sure the Jihadi Patsies McCain, Hagel, Collins are seated as far in the back as possible....behind a post.

He's got to songs to use as a theme for tough decision making, and he can't decide which one to use! :^D

BTW, I seem to bump into you a LOT, Petronski!

[Petronski]

This demonsrates your brilliant sense of humor.

[Petronski]

Demonstrates it, too.

What the 'Rats and 'Rat media don't get is that the election is over - and that whatever temptation Bush might have had for unprincipled actions because of the pragmatics of re-election - it is long gone now.

Bush will rule for the esoteric good of the nation - a concept that 'Rats haven't understood for a long time, if they ever even did. Now - when they nitpick from all these trivial angles, like a 3rd world juvenile pickpocket, Bush can serenely tell them "Rumsfield is doing a great job, he has my full confidence - and you can cram it."

I suggest you actually read the transcript of the meeting that Rummy had with the troops. He didn't tell them anything except the truth. Obviously a lot of people cannot handle that! Can you?

[MeekOneGOP]

bump! bump! bump!

[rocksblues]

The ones who gutted the Military in the 1990s NOW posture as these great defenders of the military. They are SCUM. Pure 100% SCUM.

100% SCUM is probably a bit too kind but I agree!

[Uncle Vlad]

Great picture!

Big GWB and Rumsfeld ~ Bump!

Thanks for the link, Ernerst. Very interesting thread.

Nothing like good armchair Generals to tell us how things should be done.
