Obviously, Mr. Carroll has never played poker with a Texan. I would suggest he watch them play "Texas Hold'em" on the world series of poker. Then he might have more respect for Dubya's game.

When Bush finally lays out his hand, libs will be weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth.

Just my 2¢ worth...

"Of course those bestial guards don’t reflect American values ....... "

Wrong on that premise.

Take a look around you Mr. Carroll. The degradation is all about us, under the guise of "RIGHTS"!

I think you're right, but it's maddening to watch. I'm afraid that a lot of the casual watchers have made up their minds and moved on. None the less, I hope you're right.

We must win in Iraq as our actions there, win or lose, will chart the course of both the middle east as well as the success of the Islamists around the world for a long time to come. This battle has been coming for a long time and history, with the events of 9/11, has chosen Bush to fight it.

"It shows, once again, that the U.S. government does not control the situation in Iraq, even when it involves the comportment of its own soldiers, soldiers engaged in a vital mission."

Wrong. Every war has screwups, "lack of control," etc. In Gulf War I, our own planes accounted for the single biggest casualty count on any day of the war outside the SCUD missile attack on a barracks. Our own screwups in 1944 during the training for D-Day killed 1,000 soldiers. POWs get shot; bad guys get set free by accident. These are the things of war, and that's what is so frustrating is that people like this guy should KNOW this.

As for "control," if I'm an AQ type, I've lost Afghanistan and Iraq in three years, and I've had the Saudis (supposedly) launch a new offensive against AQ; and I've had Pakistan's president side with the Americans. I've seen Syra put on the "excrement list." I've seen Moammar Khaddafi "come clean" and disarm before he's invade. Any sensible Muslim would have to conclude we are winning, and winning big.

[HankReardon]

This guy speaks as if the Iraq war is going badly. It's been all of 14 months and it's in the heart of the Middle East. Damn our military is outstanding!

"Hey, Achemd"

"Hey, Mohammad"

"Whatcha need, Achmed?"

"Not sure. This one smells pretty good."

"Yeh, nice smell. And it will take down a ten-story building."

"Oh, good, I'll take 2 bottles. Got anything for car bombs."

"Yeh, this cologne will make big boom."

"Ok, give me 3 bottle."

[sarasota]

I think you're right, and I've shared this belief all along. W is building a bigger case than any of us could possibly know. IMO>

Bush better lay down his hand soon as time is quickly slipping away and things are spiraling down. Quit playing nice and bring out the big guns. Every time a WMD is found a week later they say it's nothing but grape kool-aid. OBL is still molesting goats in some cave. Al Z, whatever his name is, should have his head on a platter. The RATS should have been shut up months ago. Teddy should be under a bridge with his bottle. Shrillary should have been called out long ago. You can't play hands across the aisle with the She-Viper or you'll get bitten. Powell is getting as bad as Kerry with flip flops. Good grief, we have tapes of convoys heading to Syria and telephone calls from panicked generals trying to hide stuff but it all gets filed in the trash bin. Forget the Syrian border, what about the Mexican border???
Bush may be playing poker alone while the rest of the world is playing Twister.

[MissAmericanPie]

I was a little suprised that no effort was made to secure Iraq's borders at the begining, but I suppose that could be written off to not having enough boots on the ground.

High tech can win battles, but control requires boots on the ground.

[marty60]

Exactly, can you imagine what the evil Dums would be yelling if Bush et al, said See we told you so. Old Blix said This doesn't prove they have WMD. Ofcourse the idiot looked at a pile of missles and said, looks ok to me. What a Eurotrash airhead.

I just pray to God that they don't lob a big one into our boys. Ofcourse that would mean MORE blood on the hands of the Evil Dums and Media.

[thedugal]

I seem to recall practically verbatim comments back during the CFR debacle. Too many on our side attribute mythical powers of "strategery" to Bush. While the press and the leftists regularly misunderestimate the president, he is not without flaws.

Bush would be far higher in the polls if he would be more aggressive in Iraq. Instead he is apologizing for the actions of a few E3s and E4s while the enemy gleefully decapitates civilians on film. President Bush should have come out and said, "I have personally ordered the Court Martial of those personnel involved in the Abu Ghraib prison case, and have instructed the Department of Defense to issue a full report to include preventative measures for future cases. Any further comment would be counterproductive to the ongoing investigation." He should have publicly humiliated any democrat senator who pressed the matter further as damaging the United States criminal case against the alleged offenders. I guarantee a tough stand against both the terrorists and the dirtbag democrats would have gotten him more points in the polls than any apology to some 3rd world tinpot dictator.


Kerry is a dirtbag with no business being within a 100 mile radius of Washington D.C., but that won't stop the American voters from electing him.

[MoodyBlu]

Wrong on that premise.

Take a look around you Mr. Carroll. The degradation is all about us, under the guise of "RIGHTS"!

The FBI's uniform crime report for 2002:

14,054 murders in the U.S.

95,136 forcible rapes in the U.S.

420,637 robberies in the U.S.

What pisses off the dominate media, preening politicians, and illiterate masses? Some trailer trash in Baghdad with hyped up hormones. Why no real perspective in this whole mess?

The lib spin already being heard is that this was some leftover shell from before Saddam was forced to destroy his nerve gas in the early 90s. Like Saddam had so much of this stuff that they missed a little when they went to destroy it.

[MEGoody]

"Success in Iraq is eluding us"

Huh? Because of a small group of terrorists? Because of a few idiotic, perverted soldiers? Is this guy's name Chicken Little?

[Manic_Episode]

"The answer is sobering"

I'm sorry, I read the entire "answer" and I'm not any more sober than I was a few minutes ago.

[Old Sarge]

Bush may be playing poker alone while the rest of the world is playing Twister.

Not poker.

Not Texas Hold'em.

Three-card Monty. And the Left is the dealer.

I am losing hope, here.

[MEGoody]

"Powell is getting as bad as Kerry with flip flops."

Exactly what has Powell flip-flopped on? And be careful. He's been misquoted in the media a number of times, so check your information before you answer.

[blanknoone]

President Bush may be playing a great game of poker...but this is a bare knuckle boxing match. And the nose on our poker face is about to get broken unless we start fighting. Not only fighting, but take the 24 ounce fluffly gloves off too.
