Lieberman is so showing why he should be the Democratic nominee for President.

What intelligence and uncommon (in their party) class.

Which is why he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in a blast furnace of ever getting the Democrat nomination.

As far as the polling goes (and pardon me if I’m thinking a little ahead of the average Iraqi), if I were on the streets of any city in Iraq and someone asked me if my area were safer and I knew that one of my answers may lead to the inevitable withdrawl of American troops…I believe I’d make it sound as disastrous as possible.

What constantly annoys me about Congress and the Senate is how they go on and on about the Iraqi government is dysfunctional, fails it’s people, does not provide security adequately, etc etc etc..
Yet our government has been at it for over 200 years and still can’t get it right either.

Update: More MoveOn fallout: Waffles tells Reid to make room for him in the lifeboat.

Didn’t the Traitor Kerry have three Purple Hearts? If so, CNN must think he threw the third one over a fence since they mention he has only two.

As for the MoveOn crowd, Lurch should understand he led by example with his attacks on soldiers many years ago. He should also realize his party encouraged just this type of attack by the nutballs by his party’s pre-emptive attacks on Petreaus’ testimony starting several days ago.

Hammer: Don’t just open the jail after 25 years. Let people out step by step. Iraqis need rehab. Give them instant direct freedom and they are going to go crazy. That’s what the U.S. did.

We should have listened to Machiavelli. He counseled that you destroy the ruling class and then rule with an iron fist. After awhile you ease the reigns on the working class until they see that you are not going to upset their lives anymore and they realize that things will be better than under the former rulers.

He hasn’t said when he was going to leave Iraq or if he has any plans to.

Not sure if he gets any R&R, I don’t think today would count as that ;-)

Is that a bad joke? Where’s your link? You couldn’t get 100% of the Iraqi’s in Anbar to agree the sun comes up in the morning.
