I'm on the same exact path you're on... so we're not hot yet. I assume they have to block off Syria and show Iran we're not playing... We're ramping up... if Gates announces this growing of the military tomorrow, then we know something big's going down.

Ollie North supporting the Prez, on TV now
Yep. Watching it now. Ollie North was against the plan before the speech. He has been convinced.

Iran and Syria stop supporting the insurgency or we will strike back. Everyone is to busy talking about the the partisan politics and not looking at the BIG picture.....Great point. Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait are Sunni. Iraq and Iran are predominantly Shia. Trust me on this one.(OK, I'm not coming down off the mountain with this, you all now know) If you think partisan politics is bad in the USA, you are getting a good look at partisan politics in the Middle East. Take Liberals versus Conservatives and multiply it by 1,200 and that's how much the Sunnis hate the Shia. Or in a Math formula:
(Liberals) X (Conservatives)= 1,200 (Sunni) X (Shia)
The difference here in America is we all firmly believe (even the looney left, Kennedy, Pelosi and the dopes on Huffington and DU) that we are all part of something much bigger than ourselves. The idea of a great melting pot, the greatest country in the history of the planet Earth.
The Iraqis don't have a common national unity or philosophical identity.

they wouldn't be seeing the immediate withdrawal like they were expecting and then they're stuck being labeled anti-military based on their vote.You are so right! The money will be there one way or the other. DoD will take care of its own when the Congress won't! Thank you Senators Inhofe and McCain for getting extra money in the current budget.

Maybe he has had an epiphany. I suggest prayer might be in order for the leap of faith folks.
The sad thing, is that Bush should have put the fear of "God" into the man, and his team, at least nine months ago. I would have siced Jwalsh07 on him, as my personal "ambassador." Bush just doesn't move fast enough. He was slow on Katrina, and he was slow here. Why did Bush wait until the friggin Dems took control of Congress!

We are far from the total numbers of Americans killed in Vietnam, Korea, or WWII.
More Americans died on D-Day than in the last 3 years and 10 months of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
At the rate we are going in Iraq, it would take another 75 years to get to the number of combat deaths in Vietnam.

This Kirsten person has zero personality.
Is she doing her nails while Sean interviews Huckabee?
BTW is Huckabee running or what?

Hannity keeps asking him what the DNC's plan is and he doesn't have an answer.........LOL.My hubby was ready to throw something at the t.v. Bastards can never answer a direct question because they don't know any answers. It's all about bullpucky and spin.

My honest opinion? He has too much "faith". Not in the Good Lord mind you but in the folks that work for him. But you're right, slow is a good term. A good man nonetheless.
