You're right. Good post. Saw that you commented on my site. So far I like what you write. Checking out your other sites, will probably add links to Political Pistachio.
Always, keep in mind that we have some influence--whar' in the sam hill is OUR voices on the matter--so ratchet up the "Win the war now" talk on talk radio, jame the fax machine wif' yore memos to yore polly-ticians....we'uns need ter let GW know what we expect of him.
Douglas, I try to get around to different blogs and will try to visit yours more often.
Thanks for the compliment.
Aunty Belle, We have a voice and need to make better use of it. But I confess a disenchantment with politicians these days.

Melanie Phillips, author of Londonistan, had this to say on November 27, 2006:
Those who know President Bush say that alarm over Baker and Gates should not be overdone, since Bush is a man who means what he says and is unlikely to retreat from his stated positions over seeing it through in Iraq and not tolerating Iranian nuclear weapons. Against that, however, is the fact that he does rely on Condoleezza Rice; and no less disturbingly, that he requires his people to present him with a consensus for action. This means he does not hear rival proposals, and instead gets served with proposals which are forced to embody the lowest common denominator. This is not the leadership required for the defence of the free world. The above was Ms. Phillips' commentary to this piece by Carolyn Glick. Excerpt:
…The most pressing question today then is whether Bush will give in to Baker and the Democrats and agree to capitulate to Iran and Syria in Iraq, Lebanon and indeed throughout the world. Unfortunately, things look bleak given that Bush relies most heavily on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice has been blocking US action against Syria and Iran for the past two years. She was the primary architect of UN Resolution 1701 this summer, has been pushing for dangerous Israeli concessions to the Palestinians and is known for her good relations with Baker. I've got the sinking feeling that the famed "W Resolve" is going down the tubes.
