#1 The Democrats are telling the world's savages if they can kill enough of themselves, the US congress will give them a reprieve until they can muster another atrocity on US soil, next time most likely with nukes.

Can you imagine in the Pacific theater, Japanese soldiers throwing their women off cliffs then demanding the Marines surrender or they will throw the babies off too? It's almost like reverse psychology where Bugs dares Daffy to drink the nitroglycerin and swallow a match. But I fear the best congress money can buy does not have the street smarts of a cartoon rabbit.

#2 Many Japanese civilians did more or less exactly this at Saipan (to my mind not a bug but a feature):

Though in those days the phenomenon - in so far as it was reported - was regarded with disgust and as a prime example of what we had to defend ourselves against. Now it is celebrated by the fat, creeping traitors of Hollywood and the Ivy League.

#4 This is why Rome fell. The ruling class and the senators were too busy enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else.

Traitors, every one of 'em that voted for this bill.

#5 Are there any Military Experts that believe a simple, arbitrary withdrawl date of coalition troops from Iraq will result in anything less then a blood-bath? My research says not very many. Matter of fact, most seem to predict a spiral of regional conflicts. Many envision a series of humanitarian crisis, large scale suffering, cats living with dogs. You know, real Biblical shit. I just wonder how many of those that sided with the Democratic leadership will be able to lay their heads on a pillow and convince themselves...It was all Bush's fault.

#6 Don't worry, Harry. Daschle probably thought he had that seat for life too...
