Armitage tips Democrats to regain House

A senior former White House official today predicted that the Republicans would suffer heavy losses in the midterm elections, despite polls showing a cut in the Democratic party's lead.

The former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage - a Republican who opposed the Iraq war - said his party would pay the price for presenting an "angry face" to the world after the September 11 attacks.

"We were showing a very snarly and angry face," Mr Armitage said. "I think it's understandable to a certain degree.

"But we're well past that now, and it's time to turn another face to the world, back to more traditional things such as the export of hope and opportunity."

1. Why do these idiots get all their knowledge after the fact?

Another worm turning; too little, way too late. Explain your change of heart to the families of all those who have died, Iraqi and soldiers.

3. What a chuckle it is

for richard perle (THE ARCHITECT OF THE IRAQI DEBACLE) doing his best crawfishing away from bush. Yeah, bush is wrong now according to perle, the man who put all of the angles in bush's head.

perle and anyone remotely associated with PNAC should be fairly tried for crimes against humanity, convicted and hanged by the neck until dead.

5. Sounds reasonable to me.

But can we first put them in the stocks and do a fifty-state tour to raise money by selling rotten fruit to throw at them?

6. Exactly! That snaggle-toothed doughboy should

just keep his mouth shut!

4. "But we're well past that now,...." We are? We have freed the Gitmo detainees,

pulled out of Iraq, stopped the domestic electronic surveilance, and repealed the Patriot Act? Why weren't we told about this? Did I miss something? :sarcasm:

7. Wasn't he the one who

they said 'accidentally' outed Valerie Plame? I know he was part of it, not remembering just what.
