		<description>We keep saying that an end to this war is right around the corner; people should reallize by now that it&#039;s not. Something must change, drastically. If withdrawal is not in order, then perhaps we should rethink our strategy. Poverty is one of the major contributors to terrorism; one which is within our power to fight, and win. The Millennium Goals outline a plan to cut severe poverty in half by 2015. Whatever happened to following that strategy?</description>

		<description>Right, the six months doesn&#039;t actually start until tomorrow, or, no, not tomorrow, but next month...  Well maybe in August.  September is actually a good time to start the countdown.  Actually I think that November might be better because winter will be starting here and folks will kind of hunker down for the season, so things will calm down over there.  Because we&#039;re hunkered down here.  For the winter...  Maybe it will be a NEW-KEW-LUR winter?</description>

		<description>This reminds me of the Henny Youngman joke in the movie &quot;Goodfella&#039;s&quot;. The doctor tells the patient he has only 6 months to live, when the patient shows up several months later he tells the doctor he can&#039;t pay his bill so the doctor gives him another 6 months :-)</description>

		<description>Wanna get out of Iraq?  Send back the war finance bill without deadlines, but with all the Bush tax cuts for the rich rolled back until the war is amortized and apply the revenue to shoring up Social Security and Medicare.  That sucking sound you will hear will be the CINC leading the troops out of the desert!</description>

		<description>Ofcourse, it&#039;s 100% reasonable to think that something you couldn&#039;t do in 6 years will be possible in 6 months. People like this should be killed slowly.</description>

I guess claiming the USCIRF is part of the vast left-wing conspiracy to make Pres Bush look bad is too much of a stretch even for the room temperature IQ trolls at ThinkProgress...</description>

You mean like Bill did on Kosovo?  See, the difference between our parties, is that we learn from our lessons.  We don&#039;t pick fights, we can&#039;t win, and don&#039;t have an exit strategy from!  Unlike Dumbya.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Truman used nukes. Now THOSE were the olâ€™ Democrats. Comment by muckdog â€” May 3, 2007 @ 1:19 am&lt;/em&gt;

Truman used nukes before we knew the longterm ecological and human toll.  You/we have no idea if he would have made that decision if he knew then what we knew now.

&lt;em&gt;No wonder so many Democrats have switched to the Republican party. Comment by muckdog â€” May 3, 2007 @ 1:19 am&lt;/em&gt;

In recent years, most that switched did so because you became the bigot party - and picked up the southern democrats that still wore sheets for fun.  Good riddance!

&lt;em&gt; The liberal Democrats of today have no resemblance to the Democrats of old. Comment by muckdog â€” May 3, 2007 @ 1:19 am&lt;/em&gt;

B*llsh*t.  Who do you think desegregated the military?  Truman.  Who do you think didn&#039;t fight in WWII, until we were attacked? FDR, who do you think gave us Social Security?  FDR

The conservative Republicans of today have no resemblance to the Republicans of old!  In fact, modern Democrats are more like Teddy and Ike than you could dream of being!

And while we&#039;re on the topic - use the *tubes* and do a google.  More than 50% of Americans now say the ARE or LEAN Democratic - a figure that hasn&#039;t been matched in over a generation.

You&#039;ve lost the people losers - most of you are just too st*pid to know it.  The ones that do know it, are the ones talking about a military coup - because you&#039;re back to being the party that just *whines*.  This time though, we have NO bluedogs to speak of to f*ck up our congressional votes!  Get ready for a bumpy ride, you st*pid, st*pid little hack!</description>

<p>Truman used nukes.  Now THOSE were the ol&#8217; Democrats.</p>
<p>No wonder so many Democrats have switched to the Republican party.  The liberal Democrats of today have no resemblance to the Democrats of old.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3783770', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;Did you see my question to you above&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

LOL... Yes, Chuckles, we can all see your silly questions.  The fact that you don&#039;t get answers is that your questions are so damned silly, not to mention hilarious, that no answers are required.

Still a drama queen, eh, Chuckles?  Nothing has changed from those old days on calpundit.com and washingtonmonthly.com.  Did you ever hear back from the Secret Service after you reported me to them, Chuckles?  Or did they get just as much of a kick out of your silliness as I did?</description>

		<description>&quot;&lt;i&gt;How great is America that we can fight a war now WITHOUT 50% GNP going to the defense budget?&lt;/i&gt;&quot;

Or, better still, how great is American that we can &lt;i&gt;lose&lt;/i&gt; the damn war against a bunch of poorly-armed and poorly-organized insurgents because the Bush administration refused to ask for the necessary sacrifices, make the necessary plans, and commit the necessary resources?

And how great is the Bush administration for trying to fight a &quot;MORE dire [war] than WWII&quot; [gad, what an idiotic statement] on the cheap such that we cannot get the outcome he wanted?

And how great is the Bush administration for taking out a powerless country that did not have a nuke, while at the same time allowing another country to accelerate its nuclear program and acquire nuclear weapons, and a third country to continue its nuclear research program unabated because both countries know damn well that we cannot go after them with our military bogged down fighting a poorly-armed and poorly-organized bunch of insurgents in Iraq?</description>

		<description>Oh, forget to mention, Jake the Joke, wasn&#039;t FDR fighting three fascist empires with large modern militaries? And wasn&#039;t the war spread out across the Globe? Kinda like a World War?

Bush-bat is fighting two wars in a confined space. One is against a backward mountain country without roads and the other is against a quasi-developed country that was battered in a previous war with Bush&#039;s pappy.

It seems to me that this should have been a cakewalk for America. But we know from the nasty gossip coming out of the Pentagon that Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush wanted the whole war done on the cheap. Every detail of personnel and equipment was slashed to the bare bones. And you get what you pay for, Jake. DISASTER.

Afghanistan is LOST. Iraq is LOST. The big winner is IRAN. Yes, Jake, you&#039;ve handed Iran the big door prize. Silly old you. If only the US had nailed OBL in the Tora Bora mountains. But NO, Junior had to avenge Pappy&#039;s honor --even when Pappy said DON&#039;T. And so Afganistan was left half done and only half the troops required were sent into Iraq and so that&#039;s been botched. Good job, Jake. A true bargain. Good to see such conquering done on a shoestring. Bravo.

Too bad it&#039;ll have to be all redone at union rates in ten years time. Penny wise, pound foolish.</description>
