#1 In ain't called the Left Coast for no reason. I wonder how Soltz, who did serve in Iraq, can sleep at night. I guess he's like Kerry, he knows he's better than all of us and that makes it easy on his conscience. All I know is that he is wrong.

#2 From Wikipedia's entry on Jon Soltz:

"served in the Kosovo Campaign as a Tank Platoon Leader between June and December 2000. From May to September 2003, Soltz served as a Captain during Operation Iraqi Freedom, deploying logistics convoys with the 1st Armored Division in Iraq."

I think it is safe to say he was LLL before he joined the Army, and joined only to advance his political career. It is also safe to say he has never been in combat, and his knowledge of Iraq today is minimal.

#3 Baird, however holds great sway. Whenever a person changes his stance, his reasons are considered relavent.
And, that last comment had to be dripping with snark. No doubt a feeble attempt to show the anti-war donkeys how idiotic they look.
I suppose some get it some of the time.

#4 In any other nation, actively working for your nation's defeat in a war would be considered treason. Of course, the dummycritters refuse to believe we're in a war, and that Iraq is a central part of that war. These people need to hang by the neck from the Golden Gate Bridge.

#5 He was hammered by Jon Soltz, the young, good looking, charismatic chairman and co-founder of political action committee VoteVets.org. Soltz is also an Iraq war veteran, having served in 2003. Speaking calmly and to raucous applause, he said Baird (who recently returned from a visit to Iraq) was fooled by a dog and pony show and is unfortunately providing cover for President Bush.

If you do anything today, you should go see John Stolz. John Stolz is the young, good looking, charismatic chairman and co-founder of political action committee VoteVets.org. John Stolz has things to say. John Stolz says things you should hear.
Hey, who was that guy?
John Stolz.

But did he spend a memorable Christmas in Cambodia?

#8 Seafarious - there is a Vancouver, Washington as well as the one in British Columbia. Vancouver, WA is just across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon; both cities are Politically Correct sewers, by the way.

#9 I worked in Beaverton, Oregon back in 1990. The people there were very friendly and always asked if I wanted to stay in Oregon. When I said I'd like to they welcomed me. They did not like Californians moving in. They raised housing prices and brought their Liberal political views. At least that's what I was told. Back in 1990 I found Oregon, except for the property taxes, to be a lot like Alabama in how the people viewed the role of the Government. I guess the Californians took over.

#10 Lessiirree, DUBYA > WARNS ABOUT [consequences of]US RETREAT FROM MIDDLE EAST + WARNS IRAN ABOUT INTERFERENCE IN IRAQ; versus MOUD > NUCLEAR ACTVITIES HAVE NOT STOPPED. * ISN SECURITY WATCH > GLOBAL NON-US/USN CARRIER CONSTRUX > means US NAVAL POWER IS DECLINING/WEAKENING; + YOUTUBE > US CONTROLLER SAYS USA FACES IMMINENT COLLAPSE DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEBTS. US debts will weaken AMer + induce "young turk" powers to become milpol stronger and aggressive agz America.

WORLD NEWS > ITS TOO LATE TO STOP NUCLEAR IRAN.

Sooooooo, Dubya = USA must now PUBLICLY decide to PC accept a Nuclearized Iran, and by extens Nuclearized Radical Islamism-Terror, or STOP IRAN VV MILITARY FORCE, AND LIKELY BEFORE 2008. With or without any anti-US OWG-SWO, IMO I don't think Moud is gonna stop nuclearizing nor stop its Regional-Global agendas. IFF ITS NOT CLEAR BY NOW, IT SHOULD BE TODAY THAT ONLY WAR = ARMED FORCE WILL STOP RADICAL IRAN = NUCLEAR ISLAMISM-TERRORISM.
