7. They just took a break, but

Will and the other guest from Center For American Progress (very nice, as both agree on many points...as Will stated at the beginning of the interview) are discussing leaving Iraq, now or later.

Will is suggesting suggesting a static point to leave Iraq and sticking to it, whereas the other guest (Larry ?) suggests that the insurgents will start a civil war if we don't stick it out.

I'm in cubeville too, so I'm not getting every bit of it, but that's what I'm getting out of it.

It's a very, very intelligent conversation. No flaming or cutting each other off. It's nice.

6. He doesn't sound bad at all

I think he's a seasoned drinker.

9. Seasoned drinker--LOL

He did good. He did great in fact. He sounded relaxed and he was on point all the way. Good job Will!

12. Great job, man!

Your points were excellent, and you didn't talk above anyone's ability to understand them (not that I'd expect you to).

I really liked that you opened stating that the two of you agree on most things, and how you appreciated the opportunity to discuss as such.

13. It was weird

I've probably done 1,000 radio debates since September 2002. This was the first one that didn't make me want to crawl down the phone wire and throttle the other debater.

10. Thanks. He sounds great!

It's over though. I missed most. Phone calls coming up.

Rock on, Will.
