Duncan Hunter is the moron who appeared on all the Sunday shows with a plate of chicken to show how great all of the Guantanamo detanees had it.
Seems his idea of oversight is to read a menu..
Fortunatly..the Democrats in charge see it differently.
The Republicans are in for a rude awakening indeed.

1. Heard Hunter defend Iraq policy using El Salvador as a success story

We just have to stay the course, and let the death squads do their work. Don't worry, be happy. :crazy:

2. This is the same ass the advovates forcing Iraqi troops to front line.

Now, I think Iraqi military stepping up and taking the initative is a good thing, but it sounds like Duncan Donuts wants American troops to force march the Iraqi soldiers forward with rifles pointed at their backs.

House Panel Chair Pushes for Iraqi Army

WASHINGTON - The United States should push for available and trained Iraqi security forces to be sent to the front lines of the fight to stabilize the war torn country, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter said Monday.

"We need to saddle those up and deploy them to the fight" in dangerous areas, primarily in Baghdad, Hunter, a California Republican who is interested in his party's 2008 presidential nomination, told The Associated Press in an interview. He took a different tack from Sen. John McCain, a front-running 2008 hopeful who has urged that additional U.S. troops be sent there.

Meantime, a Pentagon review of Iraq has come up with three options - injecting more troops into Iraq, shrinking the force but staying longer or pulling out.

The Washington Post quoted senior defense officials as dubbing the three alternatives "Go big, go long and go home."
