Too agreeable.

Matthew Yglesias -- after reading what Marty Lederman had to say -- is sorry he agreed with me so much about the Democrats and Iraq.

You misrepresent Yglesias's post. He's not especially concerned with having agreed with you or having been "too agreeable." The latter phrase doesn't appear at all, btw. it's that he's changed his mind based on new information. You should try it sometime.

NO TRUE STAYING POWER????

How utterly stupid can anyone be. 4 years in the desert doing noting and spending billions, killing our military off both in troops and in materials, screwing up to the point that Bush is 1 step from impeachment and should be 1 step into a prison and we have no Staying Power???

The idiocy of such a statement defies common sense, intelligence and above all a grip on reality.

Irony from above.

hdhouse stretches the boundries of irony.

Osama was right about a few things. The most critical: Americans do not have the will to win this war. When we run from Iraq, they will follow us home. Hopefully hd's home and not mine.

I may even provide directions. Afterall, they deserve whats comming.

Congratulations!

The Sunni and Shiia insurgents will follow us home like puppy dogs. Brilliant.

By plane? Boat? Walk? How so?

What a weak-kneed turd Yglesias is. He has to get a talking point memo from John Podesta's Center for Some Dimocrat Line of Bull and then Yglesias remembers what he truly thinks.

Ann - you should start your own think tank- it would be fun watching you maniacally twist their wee little minds into soft pretzels.

War is all about destroying the enemy's will to fight. It seems to me, that we're losing this war and that the Islamists get lots of help in that fight from the MSM and the Democrats (knowingly or inadvertently). I'm not sure how to win, but I'm sure how to lose it. and if we lose, they'll surely follow us home.

Peace is about trust and having two sides willing to sit down and compromise. You can have a war even if one side wants it and the other doesn't. From what I have seen, we're never going to have peace with the Islamists. They are acting literally on "orders from Allah" as documented in his final word on the subject, the Koran. Until and unless Islam produces a Martin Luther, there will be a portion of them, call them Islamists that will be at war with Western Civilization. Democrat run focus groups can't change that fact.

Appeasement in the absence of a peace process (2 parties, willing to sit down, etc.. above) is seen as a sign of weakness, which it is and will just encourage more attacks by Islamists and more appeasement by our weaker allies, who will try to cut deals on their own to avoid being targets. We can't avoid being the target, no matter what we give up. It will never be enough to buy our safety.

does someone think we are shooting blanks in Iraq? Are the rules of engagement to only partially kill?

buffpilot said "Do you think ANY of our Allies will stay once the body bags start going up?"

earth to buffpilot - they are already going and they aren't coming back. most have gone and one of the issues they face is that under the US leadership, the ship of fools is taking water.

What if the congress passed laws that Mr. Bush didn't like? What is to stop him from his 800th+ signing statement - an option not covered in the post. If the courts decline to intervene then what do we have besides a monarch?

I'm willing to follow democracy just about anywhere. I'm not willing to follow a fool two feet let alone off the cliff.

What I find most amusing is how people who have been wrong about absolutely everything in a continuous, unbroken steam of incompetence four years running are still so sure of themselves.

It's really kind of weird.

There is, I guess, a certain kind of imperviousness to reality that takes hold of that 30% of the population....

Pity.

On any given night 30% of the population sees the Virgin Mary in a cabbage and 10% or so pray to her.
