#1 C'mon, we all knew the Dems would find some way to say that McCain was wrong on the war. I (speaking for myself) am just so dumb I couldn't see how they could do so...

So is BO gonna invade Pakistan, unilaterally, or persuade them to permit a 'soft' invasion?

#2 Apparently Jack Reed will sponsor a "sense of the Senate" motion to support attacking Pakland?

Didn't think so....

#4 Jack is making a key mistake. He is exposing himself to people who didn't know he existed.

#5 What an idiot. The very fact that absurd statements like his can be made without public derision and political consequences is very disturbing and depressing. So this genius has a military background, right? Something tells me he wouldn't be your first choice to lecture at a staff college.

So, which "steps" do we have to take today, Gen. Patton? As in, steps we're not taking today? And how - you moron - would letting up as we're about to finish off AQIZ help "strategically"? After you've explained that, WTF is this word "unilateral" you keep using as though it's got some relevance? Sen. Reed, military veteran and super-genius, please list, in alphabetical order, the major military operations undertaken by western or Free World countries since WWII where the US was not the dominant, without-which-it-doesn't-happen element?

Oh, and please note, the KIA from the UK, Poland, El Salvador, Italy, Bulgaria, and several other countries (not to mention the thousands of Iraqi soldiers/police who've stepped up in the most difficult circumstances) send you a hearty "f**k you" from the grave ....
