Sometimes I wish I had more family and then I remember that I'm sitting here petting dogs in front of a fireplace while many other people are listening to their uncle who owes $87,000 on a truck that had a $70,000 sticker price explain how Elon Musk is going to fix the economy. ...
These corporate efforts to appease Trump and pander to his supporters are getting really brazen. ...

I'm sorry but 262 words is not a manifesto. A manifesto should be so long and rambling that its sheer size deters people from reading it. It should look like you need a briefcase full of ragged, yellowed typing paper to lug it around in and wave at people. It should be usable as a melee weapon in an emergency. 262 words isn't even the abstract to a respectable manifesto. ...

Oh, great–here we go: another negative nancy in the blogopsphere, focusing only on the *collateral* damage and completely ignoring the countless ways in which Iraq is a progressively happier and more stable place than it was before the surge. Well, personally, I don't know where you get your facts, Ed, but I hear all I need to from a certain Op-Ed columnist on the NY Times page, a Mr. William Kristol–perhaps you've heard of him? And *he* says that in Iraq things are swell, democracy is flourishing, people walk well-lit streets in safety, and the children regularly s*** rainbows. So excuse me for preferring to focus on the positive, rather than on the factual.

Does Bush really think people are stupid enough to believe something like a surge and "David Betray-Us" is going to work at this point, and it is anything but a distraction?!? I think the most pathetic part of the cons and Bush are they've flat out run out of excuses and distractions for Iraq. Iraq is Vietnam: the Sequel Accomplished! Congrats Bush!
When you've occupied a country for 5+ years, spent half a trillion dollars on a war, and have absolutely no idea what is going on there or why you are even there anymore, I think you can chalk this up to a complete and utter failure. I think I am most amazed that America is in another Vietnam situation. I thought this would never happen again and most people would be sick to their stomach at the possibility, but here we are. Hope things change after the 2008 election.
