Very long and all too painful for the American family--not only the families of those who died, but all of us. Our losses didn't start on 9/11 and I fear our losses will continue for some time to come--not just our military, but civilians. My tears on the evening of 9/11 were not just for those who died that day, but for the deaths to come in this war.
But I don't want Daschle to shut up. I want him to keep opening his mouth to show what an idiot he is--and it gives our side the opportunity to show him for the fool he is. And it's entertaining to watch Rummy b*-slap the press. It makes them appear to be bigger idiots than Daschle, if that's possible. My favorite moments at a Rummy press conference is the point at which he leans over the podium and shows his teeth in what's supposed to be a smile, and puts down the reporter with just a few short words. I'd miss that if the press corps got a brain transplant, ya know.
