Who said this? no fair peeking at the URL. Bears constant repeating

....And once we'd done that and we'd gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and his government, then we'd have had to put another government in its place.

What kind of government? Should it be a Sunni government or Shi'i government or a Kurdish government or Ba'athist regime? Or maybe we want to bring in some of the Islamic fundamentalists? How long would we have had to stay in Baghdad to keep that government in place? What would happen to the government once U.S. forces withdrew? How many casualties should the United States accept in that effort to try to create clarity and stability in a situation that is inherently unstable?

I think it is vitally important for a President to know when to use military force. I think it is also very important for him to know when not to commit U.S. military force. And it's my view that the President got it right both times, that it would have been a mistake for us to get bogged down in the quagmire inside Iraq."

[Gabi Hayes]

[Dunvegan]

21. Are you telling me that Cheney has this much of a grasp of the...

...factions...and still put the world through the present hell?

I dislike that man, I really do.

[Gabi Hayes]

22. dislike? you are very gentle soul

it's hard to place the worst of the worst in order of loathsomeness, but I definitely put him far beyond bush, for example, in that pantheon

[Dunvegan]

25. You know of course that I had to stay my hand...

...from typing the worst possible invective and voodooun curse about Crashcart.

However, the pause that the flurry of vituperative adjectives caused when storming around my neurons, was all that allowed me that reserve.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. more: go big, or don't go at all. right, Gen. Shinseki?

One of the lessons that comes out of all of this is we should not ask our military personnel to engage "a little bit" in a war. If you are going to go to war, let's send the whole group; let's make certain that we've got a force of sufficient size, as we did when we went into Kuwait, so that we do not suffer any more casualties than are absolutely necessary.
