Ah, but you didn't quote me in full: I said that since his promotion to Deputy Chief of Staff, Rove is now a public employee -- ie, paid by the American people and not just Bush's personal advisor -- and that he should be kept out of the public (this in reference to the NY speech he made) because democrats would attack him for the type of speech he made. ALSO: I didn't say the war was unwinnable; I said that a prolonged war in Iraq would probably mean the return of the draft (and hey, there have been recruiting problems, you know).

The military said they didn't need anymore troops. They'll probably start reducing sometime in 2006. They're just waiting for the Iraqi training to finish. The Iraqi's are getting pretty angry at the terrorists, because now the islamofacists are attacking their children.

"Rove is a master strategist. Still, the White House really shouldn't let him out in public. He's just not that kind of guy."

You DO NOT keep members of your team, OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE!

Wilson condemned Rove, RWO YEARS AGO, which is TWO YEARS prior to the onslaught of vilification and also PRIOR to Rove's job title change.

There will NOT be a draft. And recruiting is NOT in bad shape at all. The Marines have been and still ARE turning away volunteers.

The president has been saying that this is going to be a long, a VERY long long war, since 9/12/01! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Is that you, Charlie Rangel?

You said,

"This has to be the fastest kiss-off of a voting bloc in world history. Not one week since the election and Rove pretty much says "Thank you very much now go home" to the country's pro-life movement."

Graham said: "We will lose this war if we leave too soon."
You said,

"That's silly. Technically, the war is over and has been for a long time. We're into the occupation, pacification, and reconstruction periods now -- and the insane thing is that we're trying to do all three at the same time.

Has that ever been tried before? Has anyone ever succeeded in doing it?"

"It's a no-fault war, like a no-fault car accident. Neither driver was paying attention."
