Does Baker et al not know that even if Syria and Iran promised cooperation in quailing the Iraqi insurgents that Islams believe that it's okay...even desirable...to lie to infidels (aka non-Muslims)?

[snugs]

Correct

[Mo1]

I keep praying we will find a good candidate for 08
Because so far this election is reminding me of 96

[OldFriend]

GO TONY GO!!!

The man is a national treasure!

[rodguy911]

Thanks

[Barset]

Thanks, Bah. I am on amoxiycillin (sp?) which makes me sick to my stomach. Use the Flonase at night and a couple of prescription pills for cough and self-loathing, I think, as I haven't showered since Thursday.

[beyond the sea]

Brownback is on and is TOTALLY for talking to Iran and Syria. Says we've spent enough time there and its time to get out.

Senator Brownnose ..... oh, Brownback, ......ooops, BARF ALERT .

Brownback (on the Iraq Slowly Surrender Group), "We have a real chance to RESET THE DYNAMIC."

How damn heavy was that silly phrase? "RESET THE DYNAMIC"! What a pile of manure.

My Lord ................... I know silly men who buy those little pills to try to "reset a dynamic".

Is this country going nuts or what? "Reset the dynamic????

[Txsleuth]

Trent Lott: I agree with a little bit of what everybody has said about Iraq.

Good, Lott---that is just what we need, a clear message.

[Mo1]

LOL.....Juan wants to use the Klinton Dictionary???????

Yea, it is a Klinton Dictionary .. don't like the true meaning of a word .. then just make it up and redefine it

[kabar]

Many of the critics are doing U-turns. I notice that this week's cover of the Economist has a picture of an American flag [with a GI superimposed on it] in the form of a U-Turn and the admonition "Don't do it." Their editorial makes it clear that they do not favor an immediate American pullout from Iraq. "The Baker-Hamilton group wants to set a date for leaving Iraq, George Bush should say no."

The Economist editorial quite correctly points out that by setting some arbitrary date for a pullout gives us less leverage, not more in getting the Iraqis to act the way we want. "Do what we say or we go (but we're going anyway."

I notice that the Dems and many other critics of the war are tempering their remarks now that they have achieved their domestic political agenda. An American pullout would cause chaos in the region and have a serious impact on the global economy. It may not be all about oil, but the uninterrupted frow of oil from the region is vital to the global economy.

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

".......when pundits, etc refuse to acknowledge that Iraq is the key to the entire situation."

Don't give up hope just yet........

Unless the dims want to go on record as the biggest political self-immolation since the Vichy French, they're going to drop the ISD and the screaming moonbats like a bad habit just as soon as they can think up a decent excuse.

Nobody's run any polls on it (they're afraid to, IMHO), but my little circles of friends haven't been this generally PO'd and getting worse every time they hear another DBM talking point since I can recall.

If the only objective of the ISD was to unite and mobilize people on the right, they hit a d*** home run.

[rodguy911]

Absolutely, if we start going at one another when election time rolls around we can expect more of what we got a few weeks ago.

[johnny7]

Since we cannot go everywhere they hide out, in fact often cannot even locate them until the engage us, we need to draw them out of hiding into a kill zone. Iraq is that kill zone.

Nothing could be clearer...

[Txsleuth]

Levin: Pres. Bush has got to change his message, re: an open ended promise to stay in Iraq. He MUST do that now.

Lott: I think I agree with that...ugh

[beyond the sea]

After Clinton, this week there may be more contenders for that award.

ROFL

[OldFriend]

So Baker thinks this President doesn't talk to Iran and Syria because it's too tough..............

Right, this President is incapable of making tough decisions. /s/

What a despicable thing for Baker to say.

[cake_crumb]

New tagline

[Txsleuth]

Levin: We should talk to Iran and Syria..but, we shouldn't expect them to help us.

Levin: One thing we shouldn't do, is wait to fix the Israeli/Palestinian problem before we take care of Iraq.

Scheiffer: Do you think that the President is listening to everyone that has ideas.

Lott: Well of course he does.

End of interview.

[OldFriend]

Hubby just had a breakfast of poached eggs on toast. Oh, his favorite breakfast of all time!

[Laverne]

Why doesn't Lott respond by saying the UN Security Council, just within the last two weeks, voted to continue the Coalition presence in Iraq, at the request of the Iraqi government? Why is this never ever brought up? Or did I dream this? I thought I read about it, but can't recall the source. Does anyone have any info on this???
