[wildcatf4f3]

[Mo1]

Have ya ever noticed that the Left think everyone is a failure except them?

[Cricklewood]

who is this abomination trying to sound intelligible when all she can muster are talking points, recycled as they are.............

[ChadGore]

What's the best kept secret in Iraq?

The number of Americans killed by the Iraq Army in 2006 is zero.

The number of Americans killed by the Iraq Army in 2005 is zero.

The number of Americans killed by the Iraq Army in 2004 is zero.

The victory is 3 years old.

Republicans are right to nix the idea that U.S. troops should withdraw in six months. But the Bush administration has made such a hash in Iraq that U.S. troops have little chance of creating the "secure and united Iraq" that Republicans call for.

The media and its wishful thinking strike again.

Having dismantled all the institutions that held Iraq together, the United States has a moral obligation...

Bring back the Rape Rooms® of the Klinton Administration! Oh, I mean the Rape Rooms® of the Saddam Administration! Wait a minute, bring back the Rape Rooms® of both Administrations!

I'm sorry, but what does this whiney little columnist know about the world?

Why, she reads the New York Times, of course.

[Darkwolf377]

Ah, I stand corrected.

[Allegra]

Just FYI...

Baghdad is restless again today. We've been hearing firefights all morning and we just heard an explosion in the last hour. We went up a few floors to look and from the smoke, it looks like the explosion was in or near Sadr City.

The terrorists are trying to make a stand against the coalition and Iraqi forces. What they need to figure out is that we are going to take Baghdad back. If they keep resisiting, they're just going to get wasted.

This is actually good in the long run...the scum are being drawn out so that they can face their fate.

"I've been contemplating cancelling my subscription because of their (the Philadelphia Enquirer) overwhelming and naked left-wing bias."

"Anyway, all that aside, I have to respect the Inqy for publishing the Danish cartoons. So I've decided to keep my subscription."

The perfect encapsulation of why the deadly traitors in the MSM continue to draw pay checks.

Now why would Tommy Franks know more about it than Trudy Rubin? She was there once, she should know. ;)

Having dismantled all the institutions that held Iraq together,

Rape rooms and mass graves are institutions?

[tomnbeverly]

Hey Trudy.... Just shut up... You don't have a clue... Do these news(?)papers even have editors anymore?

[jmaroneps37]

Will somebody tell this horse's ash that we have been in Germany and Japan for over 60 years, Korea for over 50 years and we are still on Bosnia ( clinochhio's Christmas just never seems to get here ).
This is such typical leftist "move the goal post" crap.

Bad U.S. policy and worse execution have left Americans with two unpleasant choices

The left says this kind of stuff over and over ...I dont see it ....I want them to point out specifically what they mean by this...what bad policy? what bad execution?
