It's not enough that he should be defeated. He should be impeached.

This from a Wall Street Journal reporter:

====

Iraqis like to call this mess 'the situation.' When asked 'how are thing?' they reply: 'the situation is very bad."

What they mean by situation is this: the Iraqi government doesn't control most Iraqi cities, there are several car bombs going off each day around the country killing and injuring scores of innocent people, the country's roads are becoming impassable and littered by hundreds of landmines and explosive devices aimed to kill American soldiers, there are assassinations, kidnappings and beheadings. The situation, basically, means a raging barbaric guerilla war. In four days, 110 people died and over 300 got injured in Baghdad alone. The numbers are so shocking that the ministry of health -- which was attempting an exercise of public transparency by releasing the numbers -- has now stopped disclosing them.

Insurgents now attack Americans 87 times a day.

Looks to me like the Biblical prophecy of the destruction of Iraq is being fulfilled.

No way to defend this lack of strategy in Iraq, Rodney.

As a former military man, you should be supporting the president for court-martial not reelection.

This is why his father refused to go into Iraq the last time around. It's unwinnable, and a waste of human blood.
