Another great week for you as well last week TX.

[MNJohnnie]

You mere Seymour Hersh? The guy who last year was on all the talk shows saying Bush was going to “nuke Iran”?

Funny how Hersh, who makes one completely off the wall accusation after another is still treated as “Credible” by our mythically “objective” news media. Funny how his accusations are never ever actually verified by any facts.

[Bahbah]

The young Iraqi knows who the real hero is

[rodguy911]

I sincerely hope you are right.

[saveliberty]

Me too

[rodguy911]

Not if you bend, shape and twist those you poll and the questions you ask.

[Diogenesis]

thanks. in a similar sense of historic fixation,
there is that interesting fact that ‘moving’ the
saturn V was difficultly done on a railroad gauge of width
dating back to roman chariots in England.

continuing the dumb questioning,
for purposes of TV, is display of the flag limited
to the right arm?

that asked, Gen. Petraeus has made the show
one of Fox’s best.

[rodguy911]

Exactly Bah!

[rodguy911]

Thanks so much snugs!

[saveliberty]

Excellent post!

I can’t wait for Patraeus, Byron York is not my ultimate spokesman.

As an extension of Gen. David Petraeus’ new and ongoing COIN effort (you’ll remember, Petraeus wrote the book on counterinsurgency, literally); his Multinational Corps-Iraq commander, Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, has released his ten points of effective counterinsurgency.

Following are the highlights of each point — fleshed out here:

-Secure the people where they sleep.
-Give the people justice and honor.
-Integrate civilian and military efforts – this is an interagency, combined arms fight.
-Get out and walk – move mounted, work dismounted.
-We are in a fight for intelligence – all the time.
-Every unit must advise their ISF [Iraqi Security Forces] partners.
-Include ISF in your operations at the lowest possible level.
-Look beyond the IED – get the network that placed it.
-Be first with the truth.
-Make the people choose.

Brought to you by the United States Army :)

You probably missed Levin because he has been appearing under his pen name- Sen DeVito.

[Bahbah]

-Be first with the truth.

Something our politicians would be well to do...but don't.

[MNJohnnie]

I agree. Notice also? Their only real complaint is DOT is only giving the public 20 days to respond.

Seems to me they are merely manufacturing something to be upset about so they can highlight their “activism” for their next newsletter.

We already elected one, BJ clinton who took a poll before he went on vacation or named his dog.

Why do you think PravdABDNC still worships polls and has no clue why President Bush never uses them. Some people believe leadership is a popularity contest when it is just the opposite.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[rodguy911]

Unbelievable power grab, thanks EC(congrats on last week you were #1)

[rodguy911]

Way to go EC we are all proud of you and your efforts.

[rodguy911]

Be interesting to see what happens.
