Gen. Barry McCaffrey... surrender monkey

"We’re in trouble."

"The Iraqi government in power is dysfunctional."

"There is essentially no province in Iraq where the central government holds sway."

"Iraq’s neighbors are bearing no good will toward a favorable outcome in Iraq."

" . . . collectively the American people have said that the conduct of the war has been so incompetent that we’ve come to disbelieve the administration has the ability to carry this off."

"The next president, unless the situation in Iraq is dramatically turned around, is pulling the plug."

You’ve said many times that the military needs to grow. Where would you get the manpower?

I see no political energy at all to increase the size of military. … (But) who says we can’t get America’s sons and daughters (to enlist)? We’re willing to pay the resources to (defense contractor) KBR and (private security firm) Blackwater, but we think it’s mercenary to pay more to a Marine Pfc. …

They got one line in a (presidential) speech at Fort Bragg about ‘for those of you who are interested in a career of service in the armed forces, there’s no more noble thing to do.’ That isn’t what is going on here. We don’t need people to consider a career in the armed forces. We need their sons and daughters to go out and carry a gun for us.

What’s your read of the case of Pat Tillman, the pro football player whose friendly-fire death in Afghanistan was first made to look like the result of enemy combat?

There was sadly, a probably criminal cover-up of evidence. … They loved this guy. ... They shouldn’t have covered it up. That was wrong, but I’m empathetic to these guys. ….

You’ve got a unit horrified that they’ve killed their buddy and wanting to tell the family something noble.

I’ll bet you $100 to a half-eaten apple that (then Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld knew about it right after Lt. Gen. Stan McCrystal sent that message in. … At that point there probably was a political cover-up going on.

Stephanie Miller (a real liberal) will be taking the former Imus slot from Mon-Wed next week. Smerconish was just awful.

Also, anyone willing to give Harry Reid's office a call to thank him for telling the truth about Iraq, please do so. I have heard that his office says of all the calls they've received, few have been positive. You can email his office or call (202) 224-3542.

Short straw has to clean up the crap from the other end of the long trunk.

Try Dumbo.

But elephants don't seem to care about that sort of tree-hugging.

Donkeys are ubiquitous.

I'm not cleaning up after the elephant.

One good link deserves another.

That's not only anger and hate, it's stealing an election, perverting democracy and what I would call totalitarianism, if not some kind of fascist "putsch".

Have a peanut, peanut brain.

There are people like that who are quite sincere and earnest.

Some of them think they are Queen Anne or Napoleon Bonaparte.

I did not say anti-American about the rioters at the Florida vote count putsch. Of course they are anti-American by our standards, but so has been most of our government for the last 13 years.

Rachel Corrie loved her country, America, as much as the Palestinians love theirs, the one the Israelis stole from them. She just hated people like you, Dumbo, especially when they worm their way into our government and do things worthy of reproach and scorn. I always rooted for the Indians.

If you are a fellow traveller of Gordon Kahl

And you most certainly are, Dumbo.

You will probably end up the same way, (I'm quite confident you will).

Maybe it will broadcast on CNN, CBS, and PBS.

Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin were quite enamored of the Indians, as you would know if you studied their writings.

They would probably be with Rachel Corrie on this one, sorry kids.

Do you know why the Palestinians want to drive Israelis back into the sea?

Deir Yassin massacre refers to the killing of about 107 to 120 [1] Palestinian Arabs at the village of Deir Yassin (also written as Dayr Yasin or Dir Yassin) near Jerusalem in the British Mandatee by an Irgun-Lehi force between April 9 and April 11, 1948 as part of Operation Nachshon, an Israeli military offense intended to fend off the siege of Jerusalem. This occurred during a period of increasing local Arab-Jewish fighting about one month prior to the regional outbreak of the much larger 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Contemporary reports of this event, with their initial estimate of 250 killed, had considerable impact on the conflict,[2][3][4] and were a major cause of Arab civilian flight from Palestine. The circumstances, nature, evaluation, and scope of the Deir Yassin incident remain a source of controversy and debate decades later as the incident has been described as either harsh fighting in a fortified village which resulted in the need for the use of grenades[5] or that the village did not allow for a military force to take position and that a massacre of innocent civillians had occured.[6]

Shall I post the acts of terrorism and bombings carried out against OUR allies, the British, by Israeli terrorists, or would you rather I not?

That might be fun.

The collapse of our fourth estate is serious buisines. The fat-assed typists need to get called on their abject laziness and corruption. But we can do it in a fun and entertaining way, can't we?

We'll let you know when Glenn starts covering Anna Nicole and shark attacks on missing white women.
