@ William Timberman
Well said. When you are running for your life for such a long time, you do sustain scars, such that you assassinate the only prime minister that had a real shot at bringing about peace. Scarred psyches can have a hard time seeing the forest for the trees and lash out at people who are trying to help.

Really?
You're going somewhere, RealName -- actually venturing all four paws out from under the rock for once? Good on ya! (and if it's a theremin for us, it's gotta be a sackbut or a crumhorn for you.)

@ Jim Montague
Keith Olbermann had another great rant tonight on just that attack of Hillary and the American people.

Wow
That Olbermann commentary was awesome. Thanks Jim.
-
Thank Retired Military Patriot
Wow, that was a rant! thank you for the link, RMP. I'm afraid the Geheime Staatspolizei will be picking Keith up very shortly.

Trombones, Crumhorns and Tin Drums ?
~~cue thermin sound~~
You know where I'm going with this.

Re: Olberman/Edelman
Olberman sure is a worthy leftist counterpoint to The Major.
As for Secretary Edelman, I applaud him. A nice shot across the bow warning Hillary and her ilk that the US Government will not stand to let itself be taken over by those who conspire actively for the defeat of our armed forces.
-
Yes, Thanks
I needed to hear that from Keith Olbermann.
-
oops
I meant RMP, my pardon, sir.
Why exactly does nazi-whatever post here? Is there an argument he's trying to make, or is it just an exercise in time-wasting? His, ours...

anonymoose STILL thinks he lives in a military dictatorship
I'm not sure I've ever encountered anyone so thoroughly unAmerican since the fall of the USSR. Perhaps he should emigrate to Cuba, he'd feel more at home.

Bloody seer
Greenwald do you never sleep? So many issues you sift through and nail with biting insight. You're point is very well taken. Congress and the media needs to start laying the groundwork for not using Patraeus' September report as the sole indicator of the status of Iraq, although it will be a hell of a piece of propoganda if he can sell blue skies...some kind of Army War College commission, or perhaps the Iraq Study Group to provide an assessment of Patraeus' assessment....

That is Undersecretary Edelman, who was never before the U.S.Senate for confirmation. He was a recess appointment and of course, as standard operating procedure required by the Bush administration, was never in the military. His undergraduate work was at Cornell where he did his best to avoid the Vietnam war.
The "ilk" that align themselves with Senator Clinton, would be the elected Democratic members of the United States Senate, who do their best to keep this country afloat while your President and his corrupt cronies do their very best to ruin it.

@Nablgobels
"There are so many questions about how we would withdraw troops," she said. "The only way out -- unless we were able to go North into Turkey, which we were not able to do when the preemptive invasion began -- means we would have to go through some very dangerous territory along roads."
Clinton said she worries "that we will compound the danger to our troops if we don't plan carefully. And there's no reason to have any confidence in the planning of this administration. They have consistently demonstrated a level of incompetence that I find deeply troubling."
-Senator Hillary Clinton
She is not alone in her concern.
Lugar and the former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. John Warner, R-Va., seem to share Clinton's concern, having introduced legislation that would require the president to plan for a withdrawal of U.S. troops and report on those plans to Congress by October.
According to Nablgobles they are all conspiring to overthrow our armed forces.

@ FauxName
... no, and we really don't give a sh*te either. So why don't you take it to somewhere where some room temperature moron does?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Make that 'nabalgoebbels'. My German is weak.

@ FauxName
The thought occurs to me that you might just be trying to get a rise out of us, and consider it a "victory" when you do. Maybe it even helps you get your rocks off that you annoyed some people and got them to say what you might consider to be intemperate things. You ought to consider the fact that this is expected behaviour for, say, four-year-olds that giggle after they shock their parents with four-letter words. Why you would want to publicly get pissed on intellectually, though, is something that perhaps only Freud could answer. Feel free to elucidate if you want to clarify the situation for all and sundry....
Cheers,

Don't even bother
nabalzbbfr aka anonymoose doesn't have the first inkling about America and what it stands for. He's somehow has deluded himself into thinking that the citizenry should be subserviant to the military. He'd be at home in Cuba or perhaps Pakistan but his thinking is completely foreign to the United States Of America. I honestly think that given the chance, Dick Cheney himself would regard him as too creepy to be in the same room with for too long.
-
Nabalzbbfr was on the NRO cruise.
Some of those comments in the Hari article may have been his.

I totally thought #13 was a joke
Believe me, I understand. The commenters at Greenwald’s had a hard time with my insistence that the guy is the real deal, because he is so, so far over-the-top. Greewnald knows also, and has said, that the man is a genuine neocon — it is hard to believe, but I swear to you, while on occasion he says stuff just to stir the pot, most of the ranting constitutes his actual POV.
He sincerely thinks Byron York at NRO, and Commentary magazine are the highest arbiters of truth and endowed with preternatural political savvy. And think about it, SOME cohort keeps that journal afloat — he’s among them. Such persons do actually exist.

I didn't have a blog then...
On about day 12 of the war
When the US started simultaneous air drops of both bombs and food, it was pretty much a train wreck and it was all over but the shouting from there. I can't think of a single word from anyone anywhere that wasn't agitprop, agendized or flat out lying for one's selfish reasons since then. RealName
...or I would have written about how shocking it was to see Saddam toppled like that, and even more so, that we only heard about the deaths and casualties of Iraqi civilians, not to mention the looting, and complete disregard for any of the structures of civilization that were going to be needed to put Iraq back together again. It isn't even possible now. There were people who were horrified from beginning through middle and up until where ever it is we are now. Iraq had a rich cultural history, despite being controlled by a dictator-- whom we had installed.
