Ah yes all that now and then of course if it&#039;s not one thing it will be something else and then there is the multiple organ Islamocarcinoma which is untreatable.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt; Let’s see. Patient’s hematocrit up to normal reference range — check. Patient’s reticulocyte up to normal reference range — check. Patient’s creatinine, BUN and phosphorous levels down to normal reference range and patient’s electrolytes in balance — check.

And the nurses report that the patient has been grabbing their rear ends and chasing them around his hospital room - checkmate&lt;/em&gt;

If the patient is doing so well, why do so many hospital staff have to continue to be at the patient’s side and in the most expensive room in the hospital? I would think that at least most of them could now be scheduled to go elsewhere and the patient could be transfered out of intensive care and to a less expensive room.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, let&#039;s see: there&#039;s still an infection, heart rate has only just steadied, blood pressure still requires management, there are wounds just recently sutured which are still liable to open with disastrous consequences, patient&#039;s irrational urges have just subsided ... oh, and the patient has relatives and friends who are likely to pass along infections, feed him things he can&#039;t tolerate, punch him and shake him, and trigger irrational outbursts ... and due to circumstances beyond our control we cannot deny them access to the patient.</description>

Well, if my view of the Democrats seems a little harsh it&#039;s only because I continually find them advocating disastrous policies, embracing our enemies and undermining core American ideals. And our worst enemies always seem to be endorsing them, I’m sure you remember Hamas for Obama. Even the rhetoric or Osama Bin Laden seems to echo out of the mouths of Democrats.

&lt;blockquote&gt;People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, &lt;strong&gt;after several years of the tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose&lt;/strong&gt;, but the Democrats haven&#039;t made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there, which has led to the vast majority of you being afflicted with disappointment.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You are too kind to the Democrats, you see them as merely opportunist, I see them as sinister if not demonic. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
I wouldn&#039;t use those terms to describe them, frankly, and can&#039;t imagine a political movement in the America I know and love getting very far with such language and the attitude it implies, but there&#039;s no necessary contradiction between deeply loathing them and seeing them as opportunists.  If doing some particular good (such as a victory in Iraq that they can take ownership of) happens to pave the way for greater evils (enabled by full control of the US government and all levers of power and influence), then why should any self-respecting demon resist it?</description>

		<description>CK MacLeod:  Agreed!  Nancy Pelosi does nothing without political calculation.  She will contort her findings to suit a Dem narrative.

What bothers me is that Pelosi took off for Iraq when there is a funding bill for Iraq/Afghanistan sitting in limbo.  Instead of nurturing that bill along toward resolution, she is off on another ME adventure.  (Can we expect her to visit her best buddy Baby Assad as a side trip in order to purchase her spring collection of burkhas?)  The fundling bill is lingering under the weight of air-dropped pork and special-interest, unrelated additions.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Nope. The goal is political advantage. If the perception of success in Iraq can be made to serve the Democrats, then that’ll be peachy-keen.

You are too kind to the Democrats, you see them as merely opportunist, I see them as sinister if not demonic. Their goal is not simply a political advantage, they want our nation to fail as evidenced by their continual chipping at our Republic&#039;s foundation for at least the past fifty years. 

They want America to fall so their socialist/globalist Utopian fantasies have a path to realization. In their corrupt minds it&#039;s only American that prevents the perfect global order from rising.</description>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t be suprised if the Democrats win the president, that they usurp the war and actually try to continue to victory. It would be intelligent to claim that they were the ones who won it after Boosh screwed it up. It would be just as disasterous to allow a sure victory to be lost just when Obama takes the Whitehouse.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;They CAN’T let it turn out to be a success. The entire premise of their opposition is that the war was illegal, adverturist, and increased the danger of terrorism. So now they are going to stay to give MORE reasons to their terrorist buddies to attack? I don’t think so. It is defeat-defeat-defeat all the way. America must be humbled before she can take her place in line with the rest of the U.N.

You give them too much credit by assuming that thier opposition to the war is principled. Yes, some are really anti-war, but you can be certain that many are also simply anti-Bush and anti-Republican, and have used opposition to the war to advance their own careers.</description>

Well none of those were the patient that I was referring to, but I can&#039;t argue much with your assessment and diagnosis there.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;    Power Line wonders whether this might be the start of a new tactic by Democrats to declare the war won and demand that the US bring the troops home. — Ed Morrissey&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Powerline is years late and several clues short.

&lt;i&gt;On supporting this war - it&#039;s won already. What&#039;s our remaining goal(s)?

WMD - check
Odai/Qusay - check
Saddam Hussein - check
Zarqawi - check
Elections - check

Democracy? They have a new constitution - not based on our values, but theirs - namely shariah. Under this set-up, Chaldeans and Assyrian Christians are fleeing to (of all places) Syria (while the US plans to take in 7000 Iraqi Muslim refugees). Which of them - Shia or Sunni - are pro-US? Shia? They are mainly supporting Iran and Hizbullah. Sunni? They are either supporting Saddam&#039;s Baathists, or Zarqawi&#039;s al Qaeda. Kurds?
sure, they are the most grateful of the lot, but we aren&#039;t supporting a separate Kurdistan. So which of the people who we are trying to support actually deserves it?

And once again - what&#039;s our mission _now_? Resolving whether Mohammed&#039;s rightful successor was Umar or Ali? If there is a civil war between pro-Hizbullah Shia and pro-Ikhwan Sunni, whose side should we pick? Should we even stop such a fight, were it to break out?

Remember the 80&#039;s war between Iran and Iraq? Did we end up any worse off due to millions of fanatics on both sides getting killed? Remember the 60&#039;s proxy war between Egypt and Saudi Arabia in Yemen? Was that agood or bad thing for Infidels?

Bottom line - if there is an internecine war between Infidel hating Muslims and Infidel hating Muslims, why is that a bad thing for Infidels? If two or more of our enemies are busy destroying each other, why should we even bother stopping them?

Want to know my exit strategy for Iraq? Exit is the strategy. What will result is a civil war between Shia and Sunni. Initially, it&#039;ll be in Iraq. Then, inshallah, it&#039;ll spread to Saudi Arabia, where the Shia in al Hasa province can rebel. Let all that Saudi cash that funds madrassahs and CAIR in the US be diverted towards containing their restive Shia, and in the meantime, let Iran&#039;s cash flow to their science project and Hizbullah be diverted towards encouraging Shia rebellions in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Bahrein. Once we have these 2 US hating groups at each others throats, we can then keep arming at a low level either side so that neither gains the upper hand.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If the patient is doing so well, why do so many hospital staff have to continue to be at the patient’s side and in the most expensive room in the hospital? MB4 on May 18, 2008 at 12:15 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You must be referring to our current House and Senate leadership that belong in a longterm asylum.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;    Let’s see. Patient&#039;s hematocrit up to normal reference range — check. Patient&#039;s reticulocyte up to normal reference range — check. Patient&#039;s creatinine, BUN and phosphorous levels down to normal reference range and patient&#039;s electrolytes in balance — check. 

    And the nurses report that the patient has been grabbing their rear ends and chasing them around his hospital room - checkmate.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If the patient is doing so well, why do so many hospital staff have to continue to be at the patient&#039;s side and in the most expensive room in the hospital? I would think that at least most of them could now be scheduled to go elsewhere and the patient could be transfered out of intensive care and to a less expensive room.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;... this might be the start of a new tactic by Democrats to declare the war won and demand that the US bring the troops home.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Well, if the war is won and it&#039;s all over, why do they need to come home so quickly? If there&#039;s no more danger, why the rush to bring &#039;em back? If it&#039;s now safe, we can breathe a sigh of relief and take our time redeploying, right? Hmmm, there must be some other reason. I wonder what it could be...</description>
