You really odn't need a "freedom loving" citizenry to have this work. What President Bush and Maliki need are 10-15 Brigades of "freedom loving" soldiers willing to kill the bad guys without quarter. Those 10-15 Brigades need leadership. So, the ate of Iraq may well rest in the hands of 200 men or so. I hope General Petraeus finds them.

Ashley Wilkes was on Fox tonight. Mrs. Pantsuit is meeting with top designers as we speak to compete with Ms. Fashion Plate Pelosi. And Jimmah is digging up his yard for his grave, last I read.

What a minute Dick, you said we needed more troops before... He is saying in the Q&A that 20,000 aren't enough. Just after saying we should pull out so that the Iraqis can get to work solving their civil war. I think it is good the Democrats picked one of the worst of them for their response
He's being a good Democrat, making no sense and having no solutions. Except cut and run.

the problem is (for Timmy) that his democrats don't have the guts to actually do anything other than whine interminably.

President Bush's speech was not going for rhetorical flourishes. It was a speech of substance, which I welcome.

The clueless callers on CSPAN "We have to talk to Iran and Syria". Hello, if they're ignoring the entire UN (I know, not a great example), and we know they're facilitating terrorists and weapons into Iraq... WTH? Is it me?
Talk just gives an opportunity for Al Taqiyya/Hudnas... force is what they understand.

Time to stop obsessing on Iraq. This is a GLOBAL war on terror. As demonstrated in Somalia we can make progress elsewhere too.

Brownback had better rethink his position...the entire First Infantry Division and their family members can vote...or choose not to vote for him in the next election if he decides to go all John Kerry on us.

I call them as I see them. It gives me no pleasure in this case. The situation, and the choices, are all very poor, the consequences grim. 20,000 additional troops can hardly be deemed some major new offensive. The key is the Iraqi promises, and whether they will be kept, indeed whether it is even possible for them to keep them, or whether the centrifugal forces from sectarian hatreds and maneuvering for power and advantage and revenge, is and will remain Iraq's lodestar.

I will. I listened a bit on the radio. There was no background noise and he almost sounded beaten. Surprised me so, I could not focus on his words. I can't explain it, must have been the audio and not the President. (Major Whew!).
