Restoring America's Credibility
[Read the article: Rove and Libby talked to each other; who's talking to Fitzgerald?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Bush administration began as a national tragedy and evolved into a world tragedy.

Bush's kind always resort to tears
[Read the article: The president's tears]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]when they've run out of other tactics. They've mastered it since childhood. It always worked on mommy so why not the American public.

If your current company cannot survive without you
[Read the article: Should I stick with a failing business out of loyalty to my boss?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]then their business model is flawed anyway. A viable company must be able to survive without the presence of a particular individual (you, me, anyone).
If you have signed a non-compete agreement with your current employer, have it reviewed by an attorney before making any decisions or telling anyone anything. Or you may find yourself out on the street with no job at all and facing a lawsuit if you violate that agreement.
Good Luck.

If the Marines are so great

Kissin' Cousins
[Read the article: Giuliani pulls a Cheney]

Lies, lies, lies
[Read the article: "The president heard the call"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The knowledge that the toppling of Saddam Hussien would stoke sectarian violence and civil war was established in 1991 during the 1st gulf war. To say that "we could never have forseen this" is complete garbage. Bush 1 even said so in his memoirs.

The sad thing is that
[Read the article: Senate sets Iraq timetable]

A few years ago
[Read the article: Bush on Iran: I didn't know about halt to weapons program (but it doesn't matter)]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]this would have worried me. But Bush has so thoroughly destroyed his own credibility that these statements amount to no more that a truculent child screaming "look at me! look at me!" He lacks the international support, domestic support and fighting resources to threaten Iran. This is his pathetic way at trying to remain "relevant".
-
Huckabee goes a long way

The issue of US Troop strength in Iraq
[Read the article: McCain: Clinton would "surrender" in Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is all speculation at this point. What really counts is the situation in Iraq in the late summer and fall going into the election. US troops are scheduled to be drawn down to the pre-surge levels by June. There may be some additional draw downs, that very few are willing to discuss, because the current administration has run our Army straight into the ground.
There will be a big power vacuum opening in Iraq in the near future. If the Iraqi's can fill it with the rule-of-law, McCain may be in a position to claim the success of the surge. If the vacuum is filled by anarchy, McCain's surge will just be a vague memory in a long list of failures.

@supergroover
[Read the article: Clinton: "My opponent gives speeches, I offer solutions"]

Last time I checked
[Read the article: How Obama won Wisconsin ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the President of the United States was chosen by the Electoral College who have the power to undermine the popular vote. Given this dynamic, the "electability" of any candidate, Democrat or Republican, is a secondary issue.

@RJforHRC
[Read the article: How Obama won Wisconsin ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bullshit. Obama's Senate mentor is Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL). Durbin has stood strong against Bush from Day 1. Unlike Hillary, he never supported the Iraq resolution so he's never had to avoid the issue and make hair-splitting excuses for himself.
