Interesting headline; I had seen the “Patraeus or Betrayus” headline from a milblog...with discussion of Support Patraeus or betray the troops. Funny how moveon is using it to mean the opposite of its origin...but then again, the moveon crowd lives in an alternate universe. After reading your comment I switched over to stephie in time to see the horse face, so I immediately switched away. Why is that man ever on television, he is a waste of time.

Thank you for reporting that McCain took on Stephie. This is the one reason I really like Rudy, he ALWAYS tells the press they are full of it and questions their balance. McCain needs to stop attacking Rummy, it does him no good, but he can and should attack the media as often as possible.

Ted Kennedy just flat-out lied to the American public.

He just said 4000 troops have died in Iraq. Not even close. Last count I saw was 3761.

McCain attacks Rumsfled because he's an easy target and cannot hurt him politically now in any way. In fact, in McCain's mind, targeting Rumsfeld perhaps makes McCain more attractive to a lot of people in the middle of the Republican party and a lot of Dems, so I predict more Rummy bashing, not less.

McCain won't bash the MSM too much as he wants to curry their favor and receive favorable press - that's the name of the game. IMHO, McCain will continue to kisss their you know what.

Prez.Bush was shown on CNN-HLN just now. Back from the trip. Looks tired, but happy & optimistic. Want Congress to listen to the Generals & he will address the people following that testimony.
