#1 First they bitch because the war went too well, then they bitch when it slows down for rest and refit, then they bitch because it went too well again. After all that, they're bitching because the "peace" is taking too long to put everything back the way it was before we went to war. Do these people have anything else to do? Don't they ever make a POSITIVE contribution to society, other than dying and leaving it?

#2 Well, they do produce fertilizer while they're alive. That's something, isn't it?

#3 Maybe this is not the exact place for this rant, but here goes. Related to Clare and previous article on Robin Cook.

It's been proven by the events of the last month that Robin's and Clare's opinions on the war have been totally discredited. Toss into that every other whiner/anti-war protester in the world. No quagmire, no 500,000 deaths (although every one IS tragic), etc...How right you are, Old Patriot!!

So why was Michael Kinsley on Charlie Rose last week with that snively voice and middle-of-the-road relativism? What a whiner. Ted Koppel had a former Syrian govt. official, a Palestinian perfesser, and an, are you ready?, Iranian FILM DIRECTOR!!! to discuss the hurt feelings of the Syrians in light of Rummy's and Colin's comments. Ted did not ask ONE tough question to the Syrian, who was railing against the American policy of democritization of the Middle East. I'd have asked the guy what the hell, couldn't you use a democracy in Syria? What about your elections? What about your totally Fascist, discredited, inhumane Baathist policies of the last several decades? The Iranian talked about the "massacre" of the Iraqi people perpetrated by the Coalition. Ted meekly asked him to define "massacre", which the guy did with gusto, and that shut up Ted. Ted gave them a total pass. Ted, you were so good with the 3rd ID. Now you're back home, what the hell did you learn over there? I think Ted's Manhattan cocktail crowd probably dissed him a bit upon his return, so now he has to bow to midgets and give equal time to get back on people's invitation list. Ted, THESE GUYS AND HAROLD RAINES WERE WRONG. Rantburgers, excepting Murat, were right.

#5 I am begining to think that these people have no touch with reality. They think that a soldier just puts down his weapon and starts pumping water? We DID NOT target the Iraqi infrastructure. These people were not getting water or food from Saddam BEFORE the war. Can we have like a week before they all start whining about what's broken?
