Muted Optimism As Death Tolls For Iraqi Civilians And U.S. Troops Go From "Horrific" To "Very Bad"

Don"t worry, be happy.

The happiest member of the animal kingdom is the ostrich with her head buried in the sand. (She"s busy counting her chicks before they hatch.)

With Dubya as President, that creature should replace the Bald Eagle as America"s national symbol.

donbl1,,,, It''s not success in the least bit, 1 stepping stone 4 years too late & that''s all --- Ain''t any way you can paint it a remote success.

LIKE H*ELL YOU DIDN"T.

Here"s what you said - America has needs more pressing than those of Iraq:

"About the fighting in the streets of Baghdad I wanna tell you that on this days its more dangerous to walk in the streets of Philadelphia than in Iraq."

John Murtha says the same thing:

"In addition to the loss of life and limb to our extraordinarily brave fighting men and women, we are expending over $8 billion per month in Iraq on an open-ended policy. That equates to $11 million an hour. I feel those funds would be far better spent securing our borders here at home, improving health care (including Medicare and Veterans) and education, and on the many things that impact people''s daily lives in America."

Liberals are more intelligent as well.

J, there is always a plan and this one was TERRIBLE.

When he fired the last group things became better. If he had done it earlier, we would be farther along.

We will be in Iraq for a while but I hope not doing much fighting.
