Karzi does not seem to be in a hurry for us to leave.

Which means Syria unleashed Hizbollah but that did not provoke the pan-Arab response Syria hoped for. Now, if Hizbollah keeps it up, Israel will eventual target Syria. With all its might.

OMG. Wow. Well, this scenario would fit with his body language/facial expression. He looked panicked and as I said, appealed directly to the camera, trying to get support from CNN viewers.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in the news, only in a movie.

I hadn't seen that but just stopped in there and left a message. I'll be a wreck when this evac effort really gets going. Iran/Syria really want trouble? Just let them shoot down one of those copters/planes and those mullahs will never see the light of day again.

He seemed desperate.

They're all desperate.
Everyone in the world knows, without question, they've brought all this down on themselves this time.

Oh, I do remember him. I'm terrible with names.

I've saved that web site too and also signed up to get their updates as they work toward an October "open".

I know what you mean. But I really think if we handle ourselves calmly, once that web site is up and running we could have a positive impact on the Democrats who sign up and read that web site.

Our research is the best around and I'll bet we'd be telling some people things they didn't know and we just might have the ability to change some minds.

As well, an October web site open coincides with the November election and we can and should consider an organized effort to contribute positively.

LOL, I screwed up a bit Tad DeVine, not Devane. I think he's vile. But he's not involved. Mark McKinnon another Bush operative is also involved. I also signed up.

They counted on the ARAB LEAGUE to back themm up with words and guns, AS USUAl...

What they DID NOT take into account, probably because someone was afriad to state the obvious to a dictator, was that the world has changed, thanks to out invasion of Iraq..

The big guy with the missles and the WMD's (In Range) isn't there anymore to bluster and threaten...

I know what you mean exactly. I was brought up to respond to "inquiries", etc., and it seems rude to ignore pings.

But unless someone is specifically asking me a question or answering a question that I asked, I often don't respond.

Dowd and McKinnon I believe used to be Democrats recruited by Rove. Maybe Lockhart wants a change as well. I am going to keep an open mind.

That is a very good point. It was only a matter of time, it seems.

I love your tagline, btw. :)

I wonder if Kerry has said anything...

Kerry is undoubtedly in hiding for other reasons. The big news in Boston this week was the fatality in a Big Dig tunnel -- a woman was crushed by a 3-ton concrete ceiling panel. The tunnel's still closed. Talk radio was about nothing else -- RKO even preempted Rush all week. There's lots coming out about the corruption and incompetence that have marked the project.

Kerry was Lt Gov under Dukakis, who was governor when the whole mess started. And - after he was in the Senate - I heard on the radio that he summoned all the local reporters who were questioning the Big Dig's safety/feasibility years ago and told them we all had to put on a "united front" to keep the federal money flowing.
