For God sakes, this is NOT rocket science. For the Washington Times to even print an article keyed to 3rd Graders in their first semester, is ludicrous.

When will this Republic have a serious discussion relative to the Mortal Threat facing us in the name of ISLAM.

Nothing less will do...especially children-level amateurish crap from our scribes.

We could've left Iraq alone but now that we're engaged we can't accept less than victory. Unfortunately this has been framed as America's win or loss when it's ultimately Iraq's.

Their PM is saying they can take full control by summer so why is it being portrayed as if defeat is assured? If he isn't lying, then victory, that is reaching the goal of Iraq standing up so we can stand down will have been reached.

Mahon, a frequent visitor to the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho, was also an habitue of the Aryan Nations sister community in rural eastern Oklahoma known as Elohim City. The Marxism-spouting Mahon admits to being closely associated with the Aryan Republican Army bank robbers and to admiring the IRA terrorists. He boasts of his connections to Saddam Hussein�s intelligence service and admits to having been in its pay, beginning during the Persian Gulf War, when he organized several rallies for Iraq. During an interview with a Brazilian television crew, Mahon unrolled and proudly held up a poster of Yasir Arafat, reportedly one of his heroes.]

Now they see that losing in Iraq would be ten times worse than losing Vietnam.

Funny how their equations seem to change when they realize it's their ass on the line, too.

Democrats like Hillary Clinton are against withdrawal. And we're not even talking about Lieberman.

The Democrats know that if they "cut and run", the Republicans will regain their power.

... key finding appears to bolster Mr. Bush's contention that a U.S. loss in Iraq will have far-reaching ramifications.

Translation ... Bush is right .. Again

Right just like Afghanistan after the Afghan/Soviet war. We left them alone, and that worked out real well.
The point is the world has become too small and interconnected place to allow these dark disconnected places to metastasize.
