It sure looks like the 101st Keyboarders have run out of Cheetos and Kool-Aid.

2. Here's a good one (from pg 2 of the comments):

Earth to John McCain: Its over. The war is lost. The question for the Democrats now is not how to win a game whose end buzzer went off a while ago. The question now is how to get our troops out of there without a massacre. Its over, sir. Its truly sad and pathetic how far you have fallen just to serve your own ego and ambition.

Spot on...:grr:

5. Writing the op-ed was a major miscalculation on McClain's part

so I'm glad he did it, and it plays right into the hand of John Edwards, who has cast the surge as "the McCain doctrine".

6. Will the message penetrate the Beltway Bubble?

Or will our elected representatives be so petrified of upsetting some random member of the 101st Keyboarders that they will once again fail to do the right thing because they'd be "pilloried" for not supporting the troops? The public is way out in front on this issue. Will any finger-in-the-wind politicians notice that it would be the easiest thing in the world to run around to the front of this parade and look like you're leading it?
