Let me start with what I'm about to say with the following: The loss of even a single troop in battle is a horrific event, and we all should be eternally gratefull that there are men and women brave and selfless enough to take on the responsibility of war on our behalfs.

However, the initial predictions of loss of live that would result from the initial invasion were 3,000 to 10,000. Given all that has happened in the last 2.5 years, I think we are doing remarkably well in Iraq. The death toll, IMO, is only an issue for those that want to use anything they can against a president they don't like.

2! PotD! One more post like this Club and you may re-take the #2 spot.

Ah, the usual disrespect for Terri Schiavo. It's not enough that the liberals teamed up with the nanny-state imperial judiciary to kill her, but you have to defile her life too. Classy.

Oh, how quickly the memories of your images fade. Sorry to hear that, Penske. Perhaps your depictions of Ms. Sheehan need to be more graphic in order for your disrespect to remain. Why does someone like you, who professes to so love America, hate Americans? Why, Penske, Why?

He was part of the greater terrorist conspiracy. He gave money, other aid, and safe harbour to terrorists who were directly or indirectly linked to Al Qaeda. It is all part of one big whole. Wake up.

Cite, please.

Once again Gatti, like your liberal comrades, you have missed the proverbial boat, sts. Terri Schiavo was an innocent. A woman who may very well been put into a coma by the very forces of evil who sought judicial sanction to finish the deed. V-i-c-t-i-m.

Sheehan, while having a tragic mental impairment, is not without responsibility for her actions. She obviously refuses to either seek proper medical care or to be compliant with her meds. Further, she chooses to associate with scum like Soros and Moveon.org. When she is ready to lift herself up by the bootstraps, the compassionate conservatives stand ready to offer a helping hand into the Big Tent. But she needs to be potty trained before she comes in. No shitting where we eat.

Nice politics of personal destruction in the intro. The Clintons have taught you well.

As for #1 and #2, I don't hear the soldiers complaining. Its a few Soros funded cranks. When Casey Sheehan rises from the dead and makes the complaint it will have more resonance. When a shrill shreiking mentally ill partisan funded nut makes the argument its a big "so what".

Nice politics of personal destruction in the conclusion of this paragraph. The Bushes have taught you well.

I'm too lazy to google, but I've seen some articles quoting soldiers who grouse about this, but Casey Sheehan hasn't risen from the dead to say it to you, so whatever.

However, even you will concede that troops have complained about the lack of equipment. And lack of training and the general uselessness of the Iraqi army.

The effourt isn't perfect and comparing WWII to Iraq is apples and oranges.

Right, because in WWII we actually did the stuff that is too hard to do in Iraq. Thank goodness Don Rumsfeld wasn't Secretary of War then, and that we built a new military after December 7, 1941 instead of going to war with the one we had.

surprised ty hasn't posted it yet, but WaPo article describing how Wilson was selected to go. Her role, according to this account, was fairly limited (as I suggested weeks ago). And it seems to confirm that her identity, at least as Wilson's wife, was given to her by someone in the WH (presumably Libby), which he confirmed later with Rove, after getting her (maiden) name from Who's Who.

It puts more pieces together than its page 11 location and headline would suggest.

n.b. it does not implicate Rehnquist or Scalia.

I love the article starts off with "Side Issue" - when that in fact was the primary issue.

I thought the primary issue was the amount of money that Wilson spent at the Four Seasons Niger at his poolside boondoggle. Did the article mention that?

I was going to remark on how WWII was different in that the Dimocrats in the US were not a bunch of cowardly appeasers sitting in urine soaked diapers hating America, but then I thought about it and realized how interesting it is that a leading light of the Dims, the father of a later US President and two Senators, was a man who was a Nazi sympathizer (and who later callously lobotimzed his own daughter-if only he had realized the Schiavo option, but alas the culture of death was not fully formed) and even more interesing he raised a son who has equal disrespect for the lives of woman and is an Islamofacist sympathiser.

The rotten apples sure don't fall far from the democratic party tree.

The origin of the trip is a side issue to the investigation of treasonous behavior, and the treasonous behavior is a side issue to the trip and its origin. It's contextual, you ass.

Gunrunning. Don't forget the gunrunning.

Where? What country has that system?

Somalia, except that there's no government-provided safety net. Life expectancy is not good there, I hear.

While you're at it, why don't you ban Las Vegas.

Do you happen to know if CAFTA requires Central American health care providers to apply the same reimbursement rules?

Spanky, you know I love you more than the Serbian who is denying your overtures ever will, platonically, but I am disappointed that you would take up the defence of the Shrillary-beast. Especially when Pirro is your type of candidate, and I don't mean just because of her comely good looks and sexuality.

However, you be right, only time will tell. In the mean time, every day between now and when she answers, I will ask Mrs. Clinton this question, publicly, on this Board, with a copy to the D.U., and I challenge her, nay I dare her, nay I double dog dare her to come into our public forum and answer the humble electorate. One.simple.question:

"Senator, if the voters of NY send you back to the Senate, will you pledge to serve a full term?"

I wasn't defending her. I was just saying what I think the political strategy will be. You used to be able to lie and say - I am not going to run for President - and then when the time came, you could say things have changed.

But everyone that has tried that since has been creamed. So Bush, very politically adept, said that he might run. He was not sure. And it worked.

So I think Hillary Clinton, being politically adept, will not say she will not run. But she will do what W. did and say she is not sure. She will have to see what the circumstances are. W. got a way with so she might also.
