I don’t know if I can take more of it. I only watched about 45 mins. of it yesterday and wanted to put my foot through the TV.

I know what you mean, but painful as it is, it’s a lot less so than what our troops are facing in Iraq; and the media will only report hearing testimony and questions that make them look bad. If we want to know the facts, we have to watch the whole, painful thing.

Ok, but I’d feel better if they let Gen. Petraeus bring a side arm in with him. JUST KIDDING...sorta.

At least we don’t have to listen to turncoat Republican, Voinovich, today.

Same rules apply now that I heard “back in the day”:

None of the targets available are worth the cost of the rounds, let alone the BS and paperwork after the action.

The last comment on that post (an imagined response to the high-and-mighty Joe Biden) was a good one, "Senator, although I like to believe the almighty is everywhere, it's hard to imagine he spends much time in these chambers.".

The first comment was also a very good one, re choosing between fighting AQ in Iraq vs AQ in Afghanistan...

"Remember when we had to pick between fighting the Germans ot the Japanese?

Me neither."
