I ‘ve thought a lot about walls and what they symbolize.
-Berlin Wall
-Israeli Wall
-U.S.-Mexican Wall
-Gated Communities in U.S.
-Walls around Baghdad neighborhoos
-Vietnam Wall.

In two words: failure & fear.

Very unAmerican to have so much fear. Weren’t we suppose to be the land of the brave? Weren’t we supposed to be the shining city on the hill?

Gonzales wall
Senator Pat Roberts wall

Wow, sounds like Gonzales will need a criminal law attorney, specializing in perjury indictments.

Maybe he’ll get a lawyer who specializes in tax law.

“We are going to try a dozen different things,” said one senior officer. “Maybe one of them will flatline. One of them will do this much. One of them will do this much more. After a while, we believe there is chance you will head into success. I am not saying that we are absolutely headed for success.”

Good God! Is this “senior officer” aware enough to know he sounds like a Monty Python skit?

…

10,000 monkeys writing war plans!

Since more are surviving, but with life long injuries, there needs to be a memorial to the wounded, and what the nature of the wound is.

dude @ 190

I hope I am not posting this twice.

Bush’s speech refers to
Al Quida (Bin Laden Corporation)

Al Quida-in-Iraq (The Local Franchise)

America fighting Al Quida-in-Iraq (the franchise conveniently ignoring the Shia, the warlords and tribes)

But the message is America is fighting Al Quida (the Corporation) in Iraq just where Bush said it was all along since 9-11, not in Pakistan or Afghanistan. It’s very clever word play designed to make you ignore where Bin Laden is, where the problem is and who the problem really is.

Damn, I did double post. Sorry–

no worries dude, bush’s doctors told him to do a daily double-post
