One of the many bizarre recommendations in the recently released report from the bipartisan Iraq Study Group is the call to talk with Iran. A formal dialogue with the present Iranian leadership is, for a number of reasons, as misguided as it is amoral.
Our guides in these scary times of facing aggressive dictatorships still should be Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, not the British prime minister Stanley Baldwin and Joe Kennedy, the U.S. ambassador to Britain, who leading up to 1939 thought good could come out of talking with the Nazis.

Rumsfeld should have made his resignation effective on Inauguration Day. That way he would be the longest running SoD. (Actually, I would prefer Inauguration Day, 2008)

Anti- war crowd should be as vocal about
sending back immigrants from islamic countries,
as they are about this war not being worth 1 American life,
if it isn't worth it,
we don't need to lose lives here,
if it isn't worth it.
MOOOOOONBAT!
Stallone unfortunately has been pro gun-control in the past.
Last night Britt Hume interviewed Rummy. It was adorable. He does not have a chair at his desk he stands all day...
He was good.
You should hear the callers we get on UK talk radio; bloody hell!
And now, to balance it up, we have a numpty on the line.
Yes ... McClellan managed to get a hold of Lee's battle plans and somehow squandered his advantage. Yet somehow the DUmmies thought him uniquely qualified to run against Lincoln in 1864. He was the Jon Carry of his day, with better credentials.
Meanwhile I'm sure he has plenty of them in his mansion in Florida.
ROFL!
I will miss him.
I'm sure Tony would welcome you with open arms, as would we all.
Hey dude!
Judges who base decisions on Foreign Law should be impeached.

Hello
Sounds like a real good one.
Aw you are sweet!
I have to duck out at the top of the hour.
Coming up to 7pm here so I have to get ready for an evening of the finest ale and irritating Guardian readers!
Or in Guardian-speak; "I will be fulfilling my non-judgmental role as an independent purveyor of Moonbat-annoyance"!
