They do not want disgrace, defeat, and the inevitable consequence which will be just more war.

The Democrites in their stupidity and arrogance have misread things. They think they have a mandate to pursue their insame course.

I believe the majority of the American people are frustrated with the war, with Iraq, but they do want to win. They want to change direction. Maybe they want to change to do what it takes to win (less PC).

But the American people do not want defeat.

Hats off to caving. I’m much too claustrophobic for that. Give me an open road and touring Schwinn and I’m happy

As for polls, to quote Mark Twain, ” There are three kinds of lies… Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.” I had a housemate in college whose statistics textbook was entitled “How to Lie With Statistics”.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if you skew the questions adequately, and ask them in certain geographic locations, you are going to get certain results. You then take your skewed results and anaylze them as saying something completely differently than what the respondent thought they were saying. An example would be to go to Fayetteville, NC (home of the 82nd Airborne, Delta Force, the JFK Special Warfare Center, and at least one Special Forces Group) and ask someone on the street if they want the troops to come home. OF COURSE THEY DO. They want to be with their friends and family members, BUT they don’t necessarily want them to come home before the job is done because they KNOW that if we don’t finish the job NOW, we’ll have to go back and finish it later with a MUCH greater loss of life. Is it accurate to say that they want the troops home? Yes. Is it accurate to declare that they think the war in Iraq is a failure and that the troops need to be brought home NOW? NO. How do you think such a poll would be portrayed on the nightly news?

Both Dr. Rice and First lady Laura Bush have worn headscarfs on trips to middle east, espeacially if they enter a place of worship.

“He mentioned once how he likes to explore caves and I know N. Ca has alot of those.”

I am a caving fanatic. I love to crawl around deep underground in small holes in the rock and get all muddy. I used to do a lot of it when I lived in Michigan and could drive to Kentucky for weekend trips. Out here in CA, it’s a bit further and I don’t get underground as much as I should. Now, it’s mostly hiking and camping and general raod tripping.

“Why aren’t charges being made for Nancy and her entourage?”

LOL…like I said on a different post Robert, because it’s a JOKE of an accusation.

Like TT said, we’re in charge now. Bush has weakened his position so much and is so unpopular, that the Congressional Dems can pretty much walk all over him.

That’s what happens to a president, and a political party that has FAILED.

“When the next election rolls around I believe you will once again see a republican victory.”

You are absolutly DREAMING. What with the Iraq War, and the pathetic field of Republican presidential candiates, and more republicans than democrats being up for re-election in 08…your team will be lucky if it doesn’t fall to pieces in the next election.

It’ll be FAR worse than 06 was for you guys.

Watch.

Wanna remind me how massive that new US embassy is they are building in Iraq?

Empire building. The US fully intends to have a huge footprint in the operations of that country for a very long time.

We could give them San Francisco though. That would be quite a showdown.:lol:

You want to go after Nancy with some criminal charges. Then have your Bush bobble-head congressmen go for it, and see the republican party relegated to nothing for the next couple decades.

You are in the minority now, Robert. Feels kind powerless, eh? There’s a new congress in town!

btw Nancy looked smashing in that head scarf! Think how she’d look in a Burqua! The Left could really get used to submitting to Sharia Law, I can see that now.
