Levin knows that there are 5,000 al-Qaida in Iraq.

They will set a date for removal of combat troops by March of next year. He doesn't know how many are combat troops, but it's most.

He won't say how many will be left. He wants to leave that to the commanders (right!).

[anita]

How is that campaign finance reform working out for you guys?

Question McCain NEEDS to answer.

Last week Rodguy911 did the honours - sorry for lateness in posting awards but dad was unwell last night and this morning it was obvious he has a UTI.

Place marked for later enjoyment.

Utterly surreal. 6 years after 09-11 we have a candidate for President who named Osama Hussein.

Well, not really that unusual.

From the 1960's we have had a consistent crowd suffering from what is called 'white guilt' over the treatment of Black 100 years earlier. Several of the so-called 'Black leaders' have tapped into that and used it as a wedge to shakedown corporations and groups. It has been going on for nearly 50 years, and it has been relatively successful, in the corporate community, political community, Hollywood community, etc.

There is another 'white guilt' that has developed the last 5 years. That is over the treatment of Muslims/Alarmists/Middle Easterners. It is a small, but surprisingly strong group. They are bending over backward to placate and appease. Following very closely the success of the 'Black movement' of the last 50 years, the 'Islamic movement' is tapping into the 'white guilt' they are finding in several groups: corporate community, political community, Hollywood community, etc. Notice how CAIR reacts to ever event or article or speech or report that is negative to Islamists. It is almost identical to the same type of reaction the Jesse Jacksons have made. They get attention, and they get apologies, and they get placations, and they hope to get reparations.

If you think it isn't happening, look at the new Congress and how they are already planning on reeling in the military from the war zones (in the Islamic world). Look at Northwest Airlines. Look at dozens of other examples of how placating Islamists is the newest civil rights movement. And look for it to increase before it ever decreases.

Timmy is playing McConnell's statement about unringing a bell.

Timmy wants to know why they don't just cut off funding.

Levin: it's wrong. Not going to repeat the mistake of Viet Nam. Also, that resolution would lose and the President would use it as support of his policy and would strengthen him.

The Prez is on a losing course, says Levin. Levin says he's not afraid of it politically. Says the Pubbies are afraid to have a majority of the Senate vote.

He repeats his not a surge but a plunge into Baghdad.

[snugs]

I cannot even get away from it with Sky News either it just seems to fascinate News International but then they do own one of the trashiest tabloids in the British Sun.

[snugs]

Because they are used to diplomats/politicians telling the truth maybe?

[Bahbah]

Timmy points out that, if Lieberman crosses the aisle, Levin will lose his chairmanship.

Is it worth risking losing control of the Senate, asks Timmy. Levin says he doesn't expect Joe to switch and does not answer the question.

[johnny7]

Never's an “exclussive interview”... when an (R) follows the name. It's always ...“he/she will explain WHY”

[snugs]

Great titbit Anita must remember that one.

[Bahbah]

Levin says that the VP's credibility is low...he said last throws...hyped intel.

LEVIN IS SUCH A CREEP.

[mainepatsfan]

This is why senators must not be elected President.

[Bahbah]

Oooh, the WSJ called Levin a coward. I didn't know that.

Levin says politics has no place in this. HAHAHAHAH.

[Alas Babylon!]

Thank you, Snugs! And thanks to Rodguy911 for doing the hard selection work, and special thanks to our winners, Ali Veritas, Tx Radio Guy, and Morgan in Denver!!!!

[Bahbah]

our winners, Ali Veritas, Tx Radio Guy, and Morgan in Denver!!!!

Now that is a worthy bunch :)

[Right_in_Virginia]

Utterly surreal. 6 years after 09-11 we have a candidate for President who named Osama Hussein.

Totally agree. Sometimes I think we're living in an alternate universe.

[mainepatsfan]

The senate Dems are acting like they've walked into a mine field with this Liebermann switching parties story.

[Bahbah]

Timmy: what if Iraq becomes a haven for terrorists.

Levin: that is what we have made it. It wasn't before. Just a handful of al-Q there before (he almost said there weren't any).

On to the crappy Walter Reed building and the terrible treatment of our Vets (the MSM only likes them when they are hurt).

[mainepatsfan]

Yet another case for term limits.
