CAPITOL HILL Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid says it's time to "take the training wheels off the Iraqi government."

Democrats are continuing their attacks on the administration's handling of pre-war intelligence.

Senator John Kerry, who lost to the president a year ago, called the war "one of the great acts of misleading and deception in American history."

One thing you can say about Hanoi Boi, Once a Commie, always a Commie. What a loser. And to think that Commie maggot wanted to be president. America really dodged a bullet.

I pretty much agree with your comments.

If these were consultations behind closed doors with leaders of both parties, I might be more willing to relent. We cannot get into a situation where the leftists in our nation can telegraph just how long the terrorists need to hang on.

If we do, the terrorists will plan their efforts as well as possible to destroy our ability to train and leave. We will simply lose. And when we do, it will destroy our capability to wage the War on Terrorism.

IMO, any semblance of peace in the West hinges on a viable Iraq after we have left. If Iraq crumbles, the West is in serious trouble.

I wish we had the tens of thousands to put in the street like the left does. Sane U.S. citizens need to drive the left right back under it's rock.

Thanks for the note.

[midwestmom]

But tell me, who said that free and fair elections cannot take place with an occupying force? Can you guess?

[DoughtyOne]

Let's hope!

The bitch is if it becomes clear that the Sunnis want at the Shias, and that is what it really is about. How long do we underwrite avoiding that with the blood of US troops, if the Shias have the slows in getting about the business of creating an effective national army to deal with that? The Sunnis strike me as the lean and hungry and agreesive North Vietnamense, and the Shias more laid back South Vietnamese. At what point, do we move to plan B, with is a splintered nation, however ugly that might be? No, I don't have any good answers. I don't think there are any, if events disappoint. And Bush IS running out of time.

Tucker Carlson has on Stephen Hayes of Weekly Standard on now...and he says that over 20 Republicans are planning on signing up on the OTHER side in the war...

IOW...Levin's amendment...I don't know where he is getting his information...but, if true...they all need to go.

I call for a time table for those f'ckers to move the hell on to France and have their cars burned.

[motzman]

They really, really want our country to lose the war against Terrorism.

If that's what it takes to re-take control of "their" country, so be it.

Pretty sick, huh?

[dogcaller]

How about this timetable...stop your treasonous behaviour before I open the Justice Department files on Bill Clinton, Sandy Berger (and God knows who else).

"I this, uh...Is this where I can get me a huntin' license?"

[JRios1968]

Senator John Kerry, who lost to the president a year ago...

That alone serves as the perfect disclaimer to anything Jean Francois says.

I mentioned to someone else that it is estimated that the Iraqi forces are about 1/3rd what they need to be, to be self-sustaining. It is also estimated that in about one year, it will be near 100%.

You may be right with your assessment, but my take is that the Iraqi government is rather stable and considered legitimate. I don't think the South Vietnamese government was.

What has surprised me is that Iraqi government troops seem to weather attacks and losses, yet maintain a will to defend their nation. Perhaps this is pie in the sky on my part, but I've not seen reports of desertion or other worrysome signs.

78% of the people in Iraq voted favorably on the last ballot. Sunnis are now forming parties and seem intent on entering government. If they feel that they have a vested interest in the nation and a chance at some form of local self-rule, I think there may be a chance for peace.

Look, I do not deny that it is still possible this may all fall appart. I think the next six months are crucial. If it's at all possible, our people need to stop the car bombings. It's taking a heavy toll.

"Senator John Kerry, who lost to the president a year ago, called the war "one of the great acts of misleading and deception in American history.""

No John, the greatest act of misleading and deception in American history was the lies you told about our fathers, sons and brothers in Vietnam. You lied and good men died.
