1) Those construction workers he's so worried about are Halliburton workers. Thats their job, rebuild a city in a warzone.
2) We do have enough soldiers. Liberals think that brute force is necessary. They are still stuck in the mindset of the British redcoats fighting us. They thought walking in a line using brute force would do it, and guess what? WE WON! NOT THEM! hehe. Also, Rumsfeld wants to use technology and soldiers. That way, 1 soldier can do the work of 2 or 3, or whatever number.
3) What an idiot! We have a power struggle here between Republicans and Asses. We have different religions and races and everything, we have more differences here than over there. How do we do it? Mindset, something liberals think Arabs arent capable of.
4) If we write a GOOD constitution modeled like ours, then we shouldnt worry. Also, Saddam was "elected" and we didnt like him, so we got rid of him. If we dont like the result, we occupy a bit longer and remove their president.
5) Again, liberal elitists think two things: one is Arabs cant govern themselves, and two is the Muslims fighting us arent the normal Iraqi citizens. They are terrorists killing us and Iraqis. Iraqis may or may not like us, but they know we are helping them.
6) WHAT! Control borders?! Geeze, they want to ruin another country as well as ours?! typical liberal.

This columnist wouldn't want to hear the answer that would be the solution to most of his questions: bring down holy hell on all the Sunni population. They only number about 5 million yet they are making our war effort look like Vietnam, a much bigger country.

There is a communal guilt shared by those 5 million. They either help, or pay the price. Our PC "war" that puts on on the defensive is a crime.

a fervent hope that victory in Falluja will start to tip Iraq in the right direction

Start to tip in the right direction? Why do these people have such disdain for our fighters?

Here is the mission: take control of Falluja. When it is done, why not let them report mission accomplished? It is good human resource management to say "thank you boys, job well done."

"Can the Bush team mend fences with Iran?" - Did the Bush team take the American emabassy in Tehran by force and hold American citizens hostage? When are we going to make peace with Iran who did all of the above and does not think they did anything wrong? Never! At least as long as the mullahs plan to kill instead of practicing their religon in peace.

Question 7) Will the NYT ever give us credit for anything good that happens in Iraq?
Question 8) If Friedman makes a leap off the NYT building, will anyone be around to catch him?
Question 9) When the NYT says mend fences with Iran, does that include surrendering and bending over as well?

I almost threw a brick through the boob tube last night when this simpleton was on with Russert. And Russert had that goofy half-smile plastered on his face the whole time.
