Well, Benard, your analysis looks good except that it contradicts the neocon script about our being locked in an eternal war with islamist terrorists who represent such a threat to our interests that we need to use force throughout the region at the drop of a hat (such as bombing Iran rather than trusting the value of allies so that "the US [is] not having to face the [Iranian nuclear threat] alone"), and curtail all civil rights at home in the name of always being prepared for all those lurking jihadists. Didn''t Cheney or Addington or Perl or Kristol send you the memo?

OneAmerican7 : Of course, being the incompetent ingrates that Liberals are, they want to seize the White House and screw everything up again.

WOW, are you into standup comedy?
If not, you should be on the stage...
Leaves in 5 minutes

Things are so screwed up because of you republiCONS that it has nowhere to go but up.
McBush will go down as the WORST president ever...and I hope he gets charged for the war crimes his administration has perpetrated, and spends the rest of his miserable life in jail...with the rest of his criminal supporters...
Maybe you should join him...republiCON idiots

This is a bit on the absurd side. We have never been hated more in the middle east then we are now. Thanks to GW we will have an Iran dominate Iraq and AQL rebuilding itself in Afganastan and Pakistan. The price of oil skyrocketting is not what I call a bright spot.

That strategic bright spot is maintained with 140000 troops the Iraquis want gone.

Historians will be brutal with the 8 Bush Jr. years and if Democrats gain a veto proof majority in Congress former Bush officials will no longer be able to ignore Congressional subpoenas and may still end up facing jail time, this drama is far from over unless McCain wins and buries the dirt.

"Iraq and Afghanistan, two new U.S. allies"

With friends like these, we don''t need enemies. NRO, hallucinating again.
