1. Bush will use Crayolas to do the final draft !

Now that the WH has lost it's "brain" he's gone from lameduck to lamebrain.

2. Why Petraeus is allowing Bush to set him up for blame...

...is beyond me. They must have some think tank job lined up for him after Bush disgraces him.

GOP souls for sale, cheap!

5. Like Colin Powell:

They've got those unflattering pictures of him with cattle and sheep. Mostly sheep though.

A young Lt. Powell was one of the original My Lai massacre cover-up specialists. How was a young Black male ever going anywhere in the military by pointing out the slaughter of innocents in a public way?

Well something like that is going on with General Petraeus. It's how these people work.

"You can't cheat an honest man" Said W.C. Fields.

"You can't make an ordinary man into a stinking bastard without those unflattering pictures". So Sayeth the Coyote.

6. Democratic souls are cheap as well...Gephardt is

working as a lobbyist for the coal industry...of course what else would we expect from a DLCer?

http://www.prwatch.org/node/5897

In yet another example of the government-industry revolving door, "Peabody Energy, the world's largest private sector coal company, has hired Dick Gephardt's firm to spearhead its drive to defeat efforts by Democrats to put caps on carbon emissions in a bid to combat global warming," reports O'Dwyer's. Gephardt, a Democrat and the former U.S. House Majority Leader, will advocate for increased public funding of "clean coal technologies." Peabody's coal generators produce 10 percent of U.S. electricity. The company says "clean coal" research will help achieve the "ultimate goal of near-zero emissions from coal." Peabody's corporate social responsibility report calls mandatory caps on emissions "irresponsible, contributing to adverse health impacts and economic harm through the loss of affordable electricity."

3. Marcus Aurelius was a smart guy, David Patraeus

is turning out not so smart (politically).

4. It Really Doesn't Matter Anymore...

Surge working or not Betrayus will say that it was a success and that it caused enough susitance of violence to make reconciliation a possiblity.. Followed by its up to the Iraqis now... Followed by Bush stating that we have done our part for Iraq and now we will begin to transition to a support role....

Bush intends to make Iraq a success no matter what the situation is "On The Ground" ... He will also paint the Democrats as weak for not supporting his surge (Which you will be reminded of on almost a daily basis) Worked (Yeah Right)...

Anyway the goal is for the GOP to paint liberals as weak on defense, and against the military.. It worked for them in 04 with Kerry and they intend to keep beating this horse... Look as soon as Obama injected something new and progressive thinking into the foreign policy debate he was immediately chastised by both the GOP and Hillary... So like I said it really doesn't matter...

7. Craig Crawford sounds oxygen deprived, gasping and sucking in air

...at the end of every sentence and phrase as he tries to spin his responses to be G rated for prime time.

I was waiting for Crawford to blurt out that Patraeus is freaking terrified of being crucified by the American public and that Bush is just so full of horse shit about the surge and the Iraq War that getting a sanitized progress report is exactly what we were always going to get. Crap, the report is already written.

Convene a special session of congress right now, this weekend and de-fund the war and force a withdrawal to get our troops out now bringing them into Kuwait and home by this Christmas. Enough of this fucking around!
