So we all agree:
 

2. the left only wants to see the bad. The people on the ground know the truth.

So we all agree:
 

I have not read "Why Not Me" but my favorite parts of RLBFI was the football game and the Vietnam scenario with Daniel Quail et. al.

So we all agree:
 

Joke. Franken as a mole inside the JL'smRWC.

So we all agree:
 

What is the beef between him and O'Reilly? I know that O'Reilly sued him and lost over the book cover but is there more to in than that? Why does O'Reilly accuse Franken as being a liar and why does Franken accuse O'Reilly of being a liar?

So we all agree:
 

Why Not Me? was more of a slam on the political process here generally, though of course it had his general slant (he's not really a hide the ball type of guy). It becomes slightly less funny now that it appears likely he actually will run for political office at some point.

So we all agree:
 

Can't remember offhand. Franken has accused ol' microphone-butt of being inaccurate in a number of different respects. O'Reilly probably contends the same, though I find it hard to concentrate on his words, as the pulsating vein in his forehead is distracting.

Me, I just contentedly warm myself from the heat of their mutual rage.

So we all agree:
 

I have never seen a report anywhere of huge numbers of returnees, but if I had to guess, I would say that people are very happy to return to Kurdistan, which is free of the threat of genocide and which enjoys a good relationship with us and Israel.

So we all agree:
 

Sure, that must be it.

From Hardball:

• MATTHEWS: What I keep doing here is asking people on and off camera who come on this program, high-ranking officers, enlisted, former officers. I get sometimes, not all the time, two different versions, the version they give me on the air and the version they give me the minute when we‘re off the air.
  
  The version they give me when we‘re on the air is gung-ho, we‘re doing the right thing, everything is moving along. The version they give me off the air is, Rumsfeld is crazy. There aren‘t enough troops over there. We‘re not taking this seriously enough, or, we shouldn‘t be there, sometimes.... It isn‘t always a straight scoop when you go on television with people...

So we all agree:
 

Franken is a liar by nature. Also a leftist by nature.

So we all agree:
 

So you agree that things on balance are better. When things are bad in a country you get massive population mirgrations. If the insurgency is so bad why aren't there masses fleeing the cities and fleeing the country?

So we all agree:
 

Um, you realize that Kurdistan is but a subset of Iraq, yes? I think your sarcasm meter is off.

Christ.

oh, but hahahahahahahahahaha SMB is down to one lane -- you should SEE the traffic backed up.

Cindy Sheehan: A Shifty Fantasist
 

From the one well known leftist with an iota of sense, Chris Hitchens:

as well as being a vulgar producer of her own spectacle, and an embarrassment to her family, Cindy Sheehan is at best a shifty fantasist.

This is an argument, about a real war, that deserves moral seriousness on all sides. Flippancy and light-mindedness have no place. Cindy Sheehan's cheerleader Michael Moore has compared the "insurgents" in Iraq to the American minutemen and Founding Fathers. Do I taunt him for not volunteering to fight himself in such a noble cause? Of course I do not.That would be a low and sly blow. Do I say that he is spouting fascistic nonsense? Of course I do. Is Cindy Sheehan exempt from any verdict on her wacko opinions because of her bereavement? I would say that she is not. Has she been led into a false position by eager cynics who have sacrificed nothing and who would happily surrender unconditionally to the worst enemy that currently faces civilization? That's for her to clarify. While she ponders, she should forgo prayer, stay in California, and end her protest.

So we all agree:
 

No, I agree that things are better in Kurdistan.

So we all agree:
 

And that's a start. The trickle down will flow to Sunnistan and the Shiite south.

So we all agree:
 

Are you on crack? Why do you think it's going to get better?
