#1 The five-mile-long concrete wall is remarkably similar to the 430-mile concrete and wire structure being built by the Israelis to keep the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. At 12 feet, they are both the same height.

I was wondering when somone would finally make the dreaded Zionist connection. Just like Israel's security barrier, the wall would also provide choke points so that traffic in both directions could be screened. Something that neither side wants, both for the same reason.

Our military needs to tell them to piss off while we do whatever is needed to improve security for our troops and stabilize the situation in Baghdad. The wall can always be torn down later.

#2 Iff I understood JUAN WILLIAMS correctly this AM, Juan told his FOX panel openly that he is iin favor [now?] of a US "PULLOUT" from Iraq which I interpreted to mean a TOTAL US PULLOUT, espec given the new car bombings + IED incidents over this past weekend. I interprete Juan's comments to be contrary to his previous on-TV support to end active US-led ground = combat operations in Iraq, as did Colmes. THE DEMS MAY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT PULLOUT + WITHDRAWAL, BUT THEY = MANY OF THEM MUST REALIZE THAT DUBYA IS ENTRENCHING US-DEMOCAPITALIST INFLUENCE ALL AROUND RADICAL IRAN + MUSLIM WORLD - using "PULLOUT", etc as a talking point for 2008 is gonna hurt them.

#3 WHile JUan was calling for pullout, KRISTOL > triewd to make the point that iff HARRY REID trule believed "THE WAR IS LOST" in Iraq, then WHY DID REID SUPPORT THE NEW US DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION BILL WHICH EXTENDS FUNDING FOR US EFFORTS IN IRAQ FOR ANOTHER 15 MONTHS?, as opposed to 3-6 months. KRISTOL > US soldiers will notice, and may argue why US pols like Reid still want them = US Milfors to be in Iraq for 15 more months iff the war is lost now.
