Unless things in Iraq change and the situation with our military changes, I think the people in the military and their families will revolt and Rumsfeild will not have a chance to drag this out for four more years. I think they are going to get really tired of dying for no reason.

Well yeah liberals and democrats read her, and now that she is printed in big bold block letters, even some conservatives read her. If they would add pictures, I am sure even some republicans would read her.

You mean coloured pictures, like comics, I suppose?

A coalition of 23 mainstream Shiite groups in Iraq, dubbed the United Iraqi Alliance, announced a list on Thursday of 228 candidates running for office in the Iraq elections, scheduled for January 30. Iraq's Sunni factions, who have indicated that they may boycott the election, were not included in the list, and have not announced their own candidates. In the upcoming election, Iraqis will choose a 275-member assembly that will write a permanent constitution. Voting will be done by party list, meaning that people will not vote for individual candidates but for coalitions like the one presented on Thursday.

Yeah But! I bet that if you were rooting for the insurgent mass murderers, you would read Maureen Dowd et al.

I bet American voters will be more inclined rather than less inclined to vote Republican if the Democrats continue to make it so obvious that they are counting on our defeats in Afghanistan and/or Iraq to help them get back in office. I bet if the Democrats continue as they are and we are actually defeated there, the voters will blame it on the Democrats for their blatant "adhering to [our] Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

Of course, the Republicans will try to blame the Democrats, the Republicans are now the Party which never makes a mistake and never takes the blame even though they are the ones who are clearly and solely in control of the actions in Iraq. They will most certainly try to blame any defeat on the Democrats, yes, they will. and bizarrely the red states voters will follow sheepally.

Well, when the Dem's start actually getting something right, we can stop blaming them!

And sadly, many Democrats are silently and secretly (some not so silently) hoping things go badly there so they can blame the Republicans.
