8. Well, Cheney got it a little wrong: it's the last THROWS.
And the throw weight is impressive.

24. Time to send McCain and Lieberman back for a walking tour of Iraq
I'm sure they'll have no need of any escorts, personal body armor or other security details.

12. No no, you've got it all wrong...
...it's "Mini-Tet". Remember?

This is bad news, although not unexpected.

6. Where is the leader who has the courage to pull the plug?
Where is that person? Which party? Who will stand up?

9. They'd better finish building that embassy building real fast
if they want to get dramatic pictures of helicopters evacuating from it.

16. This must be about the 10th time that this has occured.
Isn't this supposed to be the safest territory in Iraq?

31. Yes, and it is supposed to be the safest territory, which leads one to ponder
how bad is the rest of the country.

14. This is looking like Saigon 1973. We're in for a world of trouble.

And the Emperor and his lackeys fiddle while Rome burns.

18. I'm hoping all those war ships are actually going to pick up
young men and women who are more and more exposed. The end in Iraq is going to be fugging ugly.

20. With this leadership, or lack thereof, that's the case.

What a shame. Somebody could pull out a decent withdrawal and a 'lets move forward' etc. giving
dignity to all involved. That somebody won't be given a chance and doesn't exist in the WH and
their crew.

Terrible tragedy, all around.

25. He cannot admit he failed
because this god-guided adventure would be exposed for what it is - a clusterfuck of immense proportions.

33. Good point. He'd have to question if it really was God who said go to war.

His "higher father" - what a sad, sad and gravely foolish path we've taken lead by a simpleton.

22. Lindsey & McLame just came back from there.
Too bad they didn't stay for a few more days. In fact, it would be great if they stayed there for a few years. But of the Ass clowns said that "progress" is being accomplished. Their supporters must be really dumb.

26. I was wondering in Lindsey was one of the eight reps who
weren't allowed out of the Green Zone.

30. Cracker Graham on Iraq:
“The military part of the surge is working beyond my expectations,” Graham said. “We literally have the enemy on the run."

27. I guess the Surge must have forgotten the embassy?
That'll teach THEM to complain about not getting their Baskin-Robbins ice cream flown in on time!

32. Just imagine, and they're only getting their mortars range adjustment
wait till the real assault comes.
