It's not everyday that 'real life' is an Onion headline, but with GOP Senators lauding 'stay the course', if you don't laugh, you cry.
Meanwhile, many months late, the press starts to put dollars and effort into getting a chart-room of Iraqi progress measures, rather than continue to condemn the public to a "classified" stabilization effort. (here-the surge, here-Baghdad violence and here-various, including sectarian violence).
Note to man-in-the-wind, Senator Joe Lieberman: If you got Bush's base (the "have mores", as he once called them) to pay $12 billion a month in taxes until you are ready to withdraw, you might get someone to listen. A simple wealth-tax would do it, yes?
Note to Senator Judd Gregg, R-ubberstamp, NH: It's not cynical for you to vote your continuing support for Bush-Cheney and their strategy. If you honestly think more of the same is your best judgment, keep voting it and we'll see you in 2010! If you don't want to have your career judged by your views of the Iraqi Stabilization effort, the so-called phase-three, then I don't have the time of day for you. Sorry. Life and death and all that, you see.
