Jesus Christ, the Dems are hopeless. They have been so afraid of being seen as 'left wing' that they've lost the ball on Iraq. There's an opening for a turnover for the GOP from this weak assed Dem. fumble. The latest poll shows that the public is very 'left wing' on Iraq. More left than the Dems?
Today, a major signal was sent in the GOP with a speech by heavy weight Bush war supporter Senator Richard Lugar. The message is the surge isn't working or what the country needs as a mid east strategy and there's no point in waiting till September for the obvious, it may be time to stop this foreign policy failure sooner rather than later. This is a major blow and shift, possibly giving cover to other republicans to separate from Bush's failed policy.
Is it possible that the GOP could take over the anti Iraq war momentum and make gains in 2008. With the fickle lack of interest by the American public, by 2008, voters could be blaming the Dems for the war and the GOP could be seen as separate from the Bush neocons and the new republicans could be seen as responsible for ending the war!
Reid and Pelosi are becoming irrelevant on the issue.
Sy Hersh has revisited the horror of Abu Ghraib with more outrageous lies and denial from the top on down, as usual not being pursued by the media.
The whole torture and abuse scandal is so anti productive and evil that there are few comparisons other than the Nazis, hence the general sense of denial in the public and politicians.Well think about it America, you are capable of the lowest standards of behaviour as anyone has ever acted on in the past short of genocide.
Perhaps a few days of demonstration with Bush would have opened his eyes. While he was lying on the cold, wet floor naked for days having objects rammed up his rectum and dogs attacking him he might come around especially after being advised that most detainees being tortured have nothing to do with anything.
Evil is not better when we do it. It's time for war crime trials.
Something cultured on a Saturday night?

Christine Ellen Hynde, one of my loves for 30 years, Chrissie doesn't seem to age.
In this concert in 2003 she was 52 and just as talented and sexy as ever...in praise I guess of older women?
Washington D.C. cops have 25 of these with more on the way to get more personal patrolling their neighborhoods.
Pretty smart really cause a crook can't run when he's laughing his guts out? At least until the novelty wears off , then they become easy targets.
I'd be pretty freaked seeing someone in a kiddie's bike helmet and safety vest whizzing along at 12 km per hour with a gun drawn telling me to freeze.
