"The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad."
GWB 9/11/2006

What's appalling to many of us is that there are all too many people in our nation who accept all that as truth.

Indeed we're doing such a good job of fighting the "terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here" that we have apparently opened (reopened?) a new front in Afghanistan.

Perhaps W. could finish his uncompleted National Guard service with a tour of duty in Anbar Province.

"The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad."

If true it's a shame, cause the safety of America did not depend on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad before we went over there.

What an ironic twist in American politics it is, that the Republican party has become th party of weakness and fear.

can't we just get our mexicans to do it? those insurgents won't know what hit them!
