		<description>Prisoner of War = Strong Leader is a fabulously silly idea, but just look at how much this man has gained from the press having codified this little formula into an edict to respect and elevate him. It has conferred him with expertise on military and security matters. It appears to give him super-natural powers, because he certainly didn&#039;t get a lot of leadership &lt;em&gt;experience&lt;/em&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;prison&lt;/strong&gt;. Probably wasn&#039;t a war library at the Hanoi Hilton either.

It&#039;s all voodoo. 

Can any but the true-believers believe what Pfotenhauer is saying?</description>

Nancy is a little out of touch. Hope she keeps playing that fiddle while the economy burns (really bad spinning on her part).</description>

Oh, come on, Bilbo, don&#039;t be so naive.

When you&#039;re in a war, you can&#039;t tell the enemy your plan. If McCain sets a withdrawal date, all the economy has to do is wait him out.</description>
