sorry, the irony escapes me.......
TW, I agree with your overall stance though your words do confuse me from time to time.

What irony? Those simple numbers - arithmetic - are ironic? Ballpark numbers were even provided last Aug 2006 in the Holbrook / Kristol interview on Charlie Rose at Bush links Hezbollah to Ali-Q.
George Jr has Americans believe 30,000 troops in a surge will do what the military says needs hundreds of thousands. Even the NYC police department puts more armed officiers on the streets. The mental midget hopes each Americans is so dumb to not do simple arithmetic. George Jr's legacy is at stake. |

Tw's annoyingly right again, a troop surge IS what is needed to win, but not what Bush is sending. The solution is either outrage the country further, send hundreds of thousands, and piss EVERYONE off, or pull out and only piss a few off.

How much contempt does the American public really have for the troops? He can waste soldier’s lives - and so many are silent? Who really is annoying? The one who lies to even kill American soldiers - or the one who has been identifying the mental midget, bluntly, for years? I am appalled that a scumbag president thinks nothing of killing Americans soldiers only to protect his legacy. Last edited by tw; 01-12-2007 at 07:01 AM. |

Uh, not to ruin your party or anything, because much of what you say has merit, but it is a very different world today than it was during the Nixon administration and every American will know instantly that this situation, for good or bad, lies with George W. and his legacy. Especially with people like you keeping it in our face everyday. You are not the only one tw. To your credit, there are many like you who constantly expound on your beliefs and rationals. You constantly put the information you have out there.

The Cellar is far from the "general public", yesman. I find the number of people that don't have a clue, astounding. And the number that know they don't know, and don't care, appalling.

You found the group that Rumsfeld didn't mention (but relied on)! The uncared known unknowns!

didn't say they were - more of a generalized statement than anything else - sorry if you took it as a negative, it wasn't meant to be.
Unfortunate, but true. This laissez faire attitude causes many problems or better put allows many to happen. |

No kidding. We're "surging" to what troop levels were a couple of years ago.
