2. Article from today's Newsday (NY &LI)
http://www.nynewsday.com/news/local/newyork/ny-nyhen294323702jun29,0,2258246.column?coll=ny-ny-columnists
Ending Paragraphs:

"Paul Harvey, the home-spun radio broadcaster, has been floating Vietnam comparisons. In that war, he said, we were told that if we pulled out, the Communist dominoes would fall clear across Asia.

"We did, and they didn't," Harvey said with his famous pith.

Over at the Fox News Channel (my TV employer), Linda Vester, host of the "DaySide" program, polled her studio audience the past two days, asking if the war was worth the cost. Vester didn't count hands. But the clear majority both days called out, "No!"

Even conservative icon William F. Buckley has been sounding wobbly on Iraq. He gave Bush a firm poke from the right.

"A point is reached," Buckley wrote recently, "when tenacity conveys not steadfastness of purpose but misapplication of pride. It can't reasonably be disputed that if in the year ahead the situation in Iraq continues about as it has done in the past year, we will have suffered more than another 500 soldiers killed. Where there had been skepticism about our venture, there will then be contempt."

It'll take a day or so for the speech to sink in. But if Bush has lost Harvey and Buckley, it's hard to guess exactly who he might have left."

4. Precisely why the "Power of Pride" bumper stickers bother me.
I don't think I could have said it better and certainly never thought I would agree with Buckley.

Oh, and welcome to DU.

6. Where there had been skepticism about our venture, there will ...
then be contempt.
I am at the contempt stage -and have been since 2002.

Thank you for the welcome.
