Christ what a bunch of the "sky is falling" panzies!
McCain doesn't think anyone else in the world is as smart as he is or has the right answers. There is therefor no reason to listen to anyone else.
No?!
SECDEF nominee thinks we're losing? Unreal.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - H. L. Mencken
[E]lections amount to no more than choosing between the scum that floats to the top of the barrel and the dregs that settle to the bottom. - L. Neil Smith
Giving power and money to Congress is like giving liquor and car keys to teenage boys. - P.J. O'Rourke
Compromise is: getting rid of your principles a little bit at a time. - Patrick Lear
Yeah, this is not good at all. Is this the start of a McCain/Gates ticket? Tag-teaming?
Breaking as blue light special on Drudge:
DEFENSE SECRETARY NOMINEE GATES SAYS DOES NOT BELIEVE AMERICA IS WINNING IN IRAQ
Sheesh!
Oh good grief .. What an ass to make that comment
Fat Teddy is up ow
This guy must have been totally brain washed when he was at U.T.Austin. Teddy is up now and I'm sure they will bond.
Please, Gates, point out that this is nothing like WWII. Please enlighten the old sot.
New Defense Sec wants a good write up in the NYT.
fat Teddy said 60 from Nass have died...........This is gonna sound cold as hell but come on....only 60? THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH WAR .We could lose if these very questioners are allowed power.......
Yeah. A real morale boost to the troops, no?
..which is hard to fathom why GWB selected him in the first place.
Coup is complete. Has Dubya fled the country yet?
Teddy says Gates needs to show courage
damned hard and damned confusing too
Great, now Kennedy gets to blather. Someone just throw a martini at him to shut him up.

This link goes to a website -scroll down to page 7 - which itemizes the many projects completed (more that 2600) and underway (more than 600) in Iraq. Its map should complement Dio's map of Iran, because it shows Lots of little green dots signifying "DOD projects" all along the Iraq-Iran border plus some along the Syria and Jordan borders. Since it is .pdf format, I do not know how to reproduce the map here, but I hope someone will do it.
This guy is Cindy Sheehan's dream! "Please bring our boys home safely."
LOL, very simple, who but a MSM/DNC arse kisser could get past a conformation hearing? Elections have consequences.
