One of the "memes" coming out of this seems to be: This is our last chance/We have one last chance.

Says who?

After all of the hard work and sacrifices, shouldn't the goal be VICTORY, not "one last chance?"

It's an arbitrary restriction, "one last chance."

"Which is why you don't hear much talk of an immediate pullback - to the contrary, as someone noted, Pelosi's henchhags are now talking about INCREASING the number of troops."

And here it comes... wait for it.....

Everyone is going to start to talk about increasing the troops to WIN. Which means a draft resolution which Rangel already did. RINOS will not stop it in the Senate and it will go to the Presidents desk. If he signs it, Democrats will then cry the Republicans brought back the draft. If he doesn't, the Democrats will cry he doesn't want to win in Iraq.

Hillary to the Green room. She approved the war but went against the method. Doesn't get any more perfect then that.

"Is it me, or does anyone else feel like we're in the friggin' twilight zone?"

It's not just you. I've been feeling that way since November 7th, and it just keeps getting wackier.

Bill Kristol on now.

"This is not a serious document. We're in a war here."

Dick Morris was saying same thing as Krystal, on Fox N Friends this morning.

Dick was saying it is time for President Bush to really stand up for what is right and WIN this WAR.

Fox is going to have Bill Kristol comment.

Kristol says that the word "victory" doesn't appear, and the report isn't serious.

That's a pleasant surprise.

He's an Arabist, what did anyone expect from him?

Not just an arabist. As I occasionally note on middle east threads, while heading the commission Baker kept his day job, senior partner at Baker Botts, with substantial financial interests in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.

When the 9/11 victims sue Saudis, Baker-Botts is among the firms hired for the Saudi defense.

To maintain at least an appearance of propriety, he should have stepped down.

Kristol admits he's "angry" because it's a seriously irresponsible report.

"We'll survive, in fact we'll prosper."

I agree. But no thanks will be due the Democrats and the rest of the American Left.

This is one of the most unsettling moments I've seen in my life- and I remember Watergate and Vietnam...

I'm worried.

Oh how hollow that image is now.

A mere 3 years later it is us who are surrendering, not the weasels in europe.

They must be even more smug and self satisfied then before.

All the reason to hate them more.
