#1 ...must have been the altitude and rarefied air. Then again, they could have been down wind from an opium burn.

#2 This seems to be at odds with what Ms. Benjamin was saying last night in her interview on the O'Reilly factor. She was adamantly against any troop increase over there although she didn't call for a total immediate withdrawal, either.

#3 OReilly told her her problem was dealing with reality!She wanted to spend the money for troops to pay off the Taliban so they wouldn't be bad guys anymore!

#4 Well, she can't exactly climb down from her position entirely, that would admit she was wrong in the first place.

Just set her in the corner and let her babble.

And she needs to realize that nobody on the planet wants these troops to be there. They need to be there, which is different. She probably has her desires confused with what the world needs, and figures if she gets rid of the troops then the problem will go away. I'd like her to have to live there after the troop pullout and see how she feels about the timing of the whole thing then.
