I guess Hyptonized in Hanoi slept through the President's speech on the subject?

[TommyDale]

Yeah, and McCain led us to believe he was a Republican!!

[Alex1977]

[eureka!]

Take a break, McVain. Can't you go a day without seeing your name in the press? Just one? Please?

[BradtotheBone]

One beef I do have with the administration was that it was announced or implied that the oil revenues would offset the cost of the war to the Amrerican taxpayer. To this day, that has not happened.

Day at the beach? How asinine.

[SF Republican]

Feinstien said the same thing this morning; I do not recall the "day at the beach" or "they will welcome us with open arms" ever being mentioned by this administation.

[Alex1977]

Lincoln Chafee and John McCain agree...

/ I'm astoinished - NOT

[MNJohnnie]

McIssane is a lying sack of dog crap McInsane. NO one promised anyone a walk in the park in Iraq!

[Alex1977]

Lincoln Chafee and John McCain agree...

/ I'm astonished - NOT

[cripplecreek]

I guess some of us aren't as easilly fooled as the weathervane. I had concerns from the beginning.

[TexasCajun]

Well, we did annihilate the Iraq Army in less than a week!

The Iraq War has been over for a very long time now.

The reconstruction is the problems with Iran & Syria the main troublemakers.

I remember arguing with liberals who thought Iraq was going to be a quickie. I tried to get it through to them that it was going to be at least a five year occupation.

Oh, I think progress so far has been phenomenal. At the rate that the Iraqi troops were coming online, I was beginning to expect that this year would see the reduction of our troops by at least half, if not better.

I was saddened by the how rapidly the situation deteriorated last year when the liberals took control of the debate and turned Katrina into an indictment of the President's foreign policy. Don't ask me how they did it. I don't know. I can only blame the problems we're experiencing in the WoT on the MSM. If not for the utterly irresponsible press coverage, the terrorists would've given up on Iraq two years ago and moved on to fighting us elsewhere.

It is the illusory hope that the media holds out to the terrorists that keeps them tied to supporting the terror operations in Iraq. Take away the foreign support for terror within Iraq, and it collapses to a problem that the Iraqi security forces could handle even now.

We were consistently told the opposite by the administration, i.e., that it would not be a cakewalk.

[Dixie Yooper]

Check the polls, adjust your stand on issues. Anything for a dollar, anything for a vote.

[AFreeBird]

Her Heinous, Queen Hitlery tried to pull that crap on Rumsfeld. He slapped her down with the fact that neither he, nor the administration ever said it was going to be a walk on the beach, or words to that effect.

[bmwcyle]

I never heard Bush say; sand, sun, fun, vacation, one day, beach, swimming, beach balls, sharks, fishing, surfing, or any other related item. McCain is sick and should be retired now.

[TexasCajun]

MeCain/Lieberman 08 -- Republicrat Party?

[edzo4]

wow, parroting the DNC and MSM talking points
what a maverick!

[TommyDale]

John McCain is making the same mistake as Rudy Giuliani...

Southern and Midwestern conservatives will not vote for the candidates who stand against them on the issues:

Abortion
Partial Birth Abortion
Higher Taxes
Gun Control and/or Confiscation
Religious issues
Homosexual Agenda
School Vouchers
Illegal Invaders and/or Immigrants Amnesty

..... IN ADDITION to national security.
