You could fit a couple fleets of 747 jets in there and still have room to spare for another fleet of them. It's that empty.Maybe we can rent it out.

I am in a humorous mood.

I heard a song that made me think of Bush it goes like this.
"The enemy as I know it is right inside my head"
Sounds fitting.

Oh, yeah, more talk about the enemy being in its last throes, desperate because they can't win a direct confrontation.

Ahem, that is the DEFINITION of TERRORISM.

Grow a brain.

In practicing assymetrical warfare, you don't need to win a direct confrontation.

Cheney forgot his own advice:

In 1992, the United States Secretary of Defense during the war, *** Cheney, made the same point:

"I would guess if we had gone in there, I would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home.

And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties. I don't think you could have done all of that without significant additional U.S. casualties, and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the (1991) conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn't a cheap war.

And the question in my mind is, how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is, not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the President made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."

You see the grin on Bush's face ??? -- He thinks "Death Comes To Baghdad" is a Broadway comedy.

Not to worry. I am told that they (the "terrorists") are in their last throes, and that their backs are broken, and so forth. Zarqawi is scheduled to be smoked out of his hole once again, dead or alive.

One final push, just around the bend.

The Bush bulge is going perfectly, according to plan.

4 more years! Zarqawi/Lieberman in '08!!

God bless America/Israel, and nobody else!!!

Lars,,, Both Iraq & Afaganistan White House admits things are much worse now than 5 or 6 years ago, problems in both countries where underestimated --- Bush's "Surge" was done 4 other tims & ended in failure, only 100 Iraqi troops show up in Baghdad to support our 2,500 & it's more violent today.

lars, not to veer too far off the subject, but have you talked to people in the affected areas of Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, or Florida? They are ALL struggling to survive. Katrina ripped the scab off a sore that has been festering since long before Bush (but exacerbated since he took office): the growing disparity between rich and poor in America.

And with this, it is Bush social Darwinism as usual: They wealthy pull themselves up by their bootstraps and the poor are left to sink!
