    'Fraid So. But thanks for saying it

    Ebonious:

    Most eloquent and spoken by someone who knows when they've seen this movie before. Unfortunately, were you to make the same post on one of the right wing blogs you would first be accused of being a phony vet and, after you established your credentials, be called a traitor and asked why are trying to lose this war for our brave forces overseas when we are so close to a historical victory. They don't get it. They don't see it. Don't know if they ever will.
