		<description>&lt;em&gt;I am entertained when the New Age semantics crowd defines â€œwithdrawalâ€ and â€œre-deploymentâ€ as anything other than â€™surrenderâ€.&lt;/em&gt;

Well. Who are we surrendering to, exactly? The insurgents that we armed before, or the insurgents that we&#039;re arming now? The people we went over there to liberate, or the people that we&#039;re now an occupying force over?

Then again, assuming it&#039;s not ludicrous to call it &quot;surrender&quot;, so frigging what? We&#039;re going to &quot;surrender&quot; eventually, unless we want to stay indefinitely...oh, wait. That was the plan all along. Never mind. 

There&#039;s no shame in surrendering an unholdable position. Unless you&#039;re clinically insane.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a bit confused. When Pelosi went to Iran, she was slammed for trying to meddle where she didn&#039;t belong. Now she&#039;s being attacked for &quot;not being enough of a leader in wartime.&quot; Which is it, wingnuts?</description>

		<description>Valiantthehater -

Is this &quot;global icing&quot; you repeatedly refer to what Carl Sagan called &quot;nuclear winter&quot;? That would be my guess, but it is only a guess.

If so - &quot;nuclear winter&quot; is an entirely different matter from &quot;global warming.&quot; These are different predicted phenomena, with different bases; to try to claim this as a situation where &quot;the left said one thing, and now it&#039;s trying to say another&quot; is to completely gloss over the scientific nature of the respective claims.</description>

		<description>ProudCALiberal - Ahhh.... Another original thinker from CA!!  

I am entertained when the New Age semantics crowd defines &quot;withdrawal&quot; and &quot;re-deployment&quot; as anything other than &#039;surrender&quot;.  In the FIRST place, a battle startegy is NEVER deliberately telegraphed to the enemy unless you are running a disinformation campaign.  SECOND, this Congress is attempting to hamstring our military leaders and members by running these operations from DC.  As I have noted before, the LAST great Democrat with a strong  defense posture was JFK - - and I DO NOT mean that lying piece of work, JFKerry.

		<description>re: Valiantthehater&#039;s various comments: The Speaker conversed with Gen. Petraeus by telephone for 30 minutes. Plenty of time for each to be informed about the others views. Secondly: where did he/she/it get the idea that the war is above politics? Politicians have always run wars. When they do very well (win); they are often called statesmen. Then there is that little point in the U.S. Constitution that makes the military forces subordinate to the civilian authority. Should the civilian authorities make a political decision that any general officer feels he/she cannot accept a tastefully written resignation will always be accepted. Otherwise, the officer can shut up and do his/her job.
 ps - I always preferred Bunyan&#039;s original: &quot;Valiant for Truth&quot;.

Valiant (gee, what an ironic moniker),

How is it un-American to desire for strategic redeployment away from the quagmire in Iraq (in which our presence is breeding MORE terrorists and FUELING alQaeda) and back into Afghanistan (which has quietly fallen back into the hands on alQaeda in our absense)?  How is it un-American to save our soldiers lives from an unwinnable civil struggle (admitted to be thus by many military &amp; political personnel including Vietnam War Hawk Kissinger) and countless billions of treasure?

It is more un-American to denounce your political opponents (who are sinply exercising their First Amendment right to free though and debate as well as practicing their democratic duty to question and criticize that which is clearly flawed) as tatamount to traitors than to propose our greatly-overstretched and over-burdened military focus on our (former?) Number One Most Wanted -- Osama bin Laden.</description>

		<description>Gosh, I hate to be a pest about the past, but I recall that during the 2004 election, Republicans tried to make a big deal out of the fact that Kerry had missed 119 votes in 2003. This was supposed to be further proof of Kerry&#039;s lack of character. To date in the current congress, I believe McCain has missed over 200 votes. Republicans. You must be real pissed about McCain&#039;s character problems.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Yes, you are right, with my insults I do more harm to my cause than good, that is why I will have meaningful and peaceful exchanges with those that treat me with respect. I only ask the same.
Comment by Valiantthehater â€” April 25, 2007 @ 6:29 pm&lt;/em&gt;

I propose you this: 

1) no more insults
2) no more leftists/rightists are this, or that
3) no more written lying laughter (hahahaha, etc.)
4) no more lies
5) no more spell checks (in a bad way)
6) no more words to demean the other: son, sparky, little one, etc...
7) no more country references in order to describe the other
8) quotes with source
9) mo more broad generalizations. 

I will apply these above for myself, too. Im trying to raise the debate. Just that. Are you in, Valiant?</description>

So, anonymous posters represent a whole political movement?  Go over to Red State and see what bestialities you endorse, simply because they do.</description>

		<description>Repugs are screaming about Pelosi not attending this appearance, ignoring the private phone conversation between them last evening, but they are silent on McCain&#039;s skipping the appearance because of a campaign date.
Every week brings another example of blatant unabashed hypocricy on the part of repugs.</description>

		<description>As a President, you donâ€™t only lose one son, or daughter. You lose many. FDR lost 250,000 soldiers in WWII, do you think he did not suffer the loss of each one of these brave soldiers. 

Oh, please.  Bush isn&#039;t qualfied to oil the wheels of FDR&#039;s chair.  And he&#039;s no modern-day Winston Churchill, either.  If you want to compare him to another president, try Grant, or Hoover.</description>

		<description>barfly, 

who is the left, are you kidding me?  please.   you know who the left is, just liek you know who the right is.  or ar eyou the only one allowed to use terms like right and left as you did earlier?  

and please nice way to excuse the left wingers in the 1970s when they used fear to get everyone to believe in Global Icing.   Please, the left uses fear as much if not more than the right.  Fact of life, if you don&#039;t want to believe it, that is on you.  Keep on burying your head in the sand.</description>

		<description>hellinabucket, 

I honestly believe that whether you are ex-President Clinton or current President Bush, you suffer immensely when you sign orders to have troops to go into battle.  You do suffer as much as the families, as the mothers, fathers, and other family members when they lose a loved one in the battlefield.  

As a President, you don&#039;t only lose one son, or daughter.  You lose many.  FDR lost 250,000 soldiers in WWII, do you think he did not suffer the loss of each one of these brave soldiers.  

Clilnton lost soldiers in Somolia and in Kosovo, do you not think he suffered immensley?

Bush the same thing.

Yes, you are right, with my insults I do more harm to my cause than good, that is why I will have meaningful and peaceful exchanges with those that treat me with respect.  I only ask the same.</description>
