#1 Good Dhimmi, good dhimmi. Keep it up, loser.

#2 gotta love how they keep trying to top each other with a shorter timeline for pulling out. Pretty soon, they'll be promising to pull out, retroactively to 2003.

Meanwhile the troops continues their successful efforts

#3 Can't never did! The attitude of losers everywhere.

#4 Meanwhile, the Six O'Clock news last night featured a piece on how Iraqis polled thought they were better off now, and would be still better off next year. Fortunately, the Dems don't watch the news.

Not surprisingly, 73% of Iraqis polled want the US out of Iraq, but only 38% want them out now. Not that far apart from the US, I think.

#5 "Our economic security is at stake," she said.

Clever. Linking her position with the new number one concern of the people. I guess we can't afford to win the war!

#6 Dhimocrats, party of surrender and appeasement combined with higher taxes and socialism.

What isn't there to love about 'em?

#7 "...the war in Iraq could ultimately cost well over $1 trillion."

If she was talking instead about her health care plan, do you think we'd hear her complain about it?

#8 I see this as a Freudian slip, which amounts to "We cannot win." She's not talking about the Iraq occupation.

And she is using the royal "We".

As in, "We cannot win against Obama."

#9 "Our economic security is at stake," she said.

My thoughts exactly, Bobby. More of this moronic '50s ad agency "framing" b*llsh*t. See, we worked in the word "security"!

Expect "family security", "health care security", etc. to follow.

#10 I'm still waiting for the "Your kids must become wards of the state because it reinforces family values" speech.

#11 Wars and war spending are temporary events. No doubt Iraq is causing a spike in Federal spending. But entitlement programs, like those both Hillary and Obama propose, (and the one Bush stupidley enacted) are perpetual. Thus, her solutions will do far more to bankrupt this country than anything the war has done/will do.

#12 It doesn't really matter, Remoteman, since our current Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid obligations are already slated to bankrupt us unless they become rescue nets for the very poor instead of entitlements for thee and me. What's a few more bankruptcies under the circumstances? ;-)

#13 Personally, I don't care what traitors like Mrs. Shag-the-Intern think. She's a proven liar, owned by the Chinese, and not someone I would trust to tell me the house is on fire without verification.

Honestly, the Clintons remind me more and more of movie gimmicks like Jason and Freddy. The movies are pointless because the bad guys are unkillable, no matter what you do. Stupid, pointless and a waste of time.

The sooner people realize just how irrelevant they are, the sooner they will fade away, gathering dust in a closet. Separate closets...since Bill's would need interns.

Ever wonder if she's talking about the Iraqi Occupation but actually the "we" in question refers to the anti-war folks. Or even worse to the anti-American element.
