1. Rep.Congressman is mad as hell

He said that the Adm. won't listen.
Said he has tried to talk to him but will not respond.
Worried about the budget.
He is out of sight.
Planning is so bad!
Not enough troops!Overextended troops.
Lou Dobbs can't stop him

YES!!!!!

2. I don't like him anymore
He said on Nightline last night that he favors the draft, and not to up opposition to the war, but because we need "more boots on the ground."

Uh, no.

4. I hear you but..

he is the first Republican that has truly broken ranks and said this is a mess. He is mad at the Pentagon and at Bush.

The wall is breaking and will tumble down fast.

5. I like his notion that if we had such a great war plan, "6-7 troops"
wouldn't be enough to ruin the war for us.

Very excellent point. The planning sucks.

6. Why can't anyone admit that this war is lost? We can put in
200,000 more troops, and it will still be just as lost. Didn't we learn anything from Ho Chi Minh?

9. hussein is out of power. so are the baaths.
if that was the goal, its not lost.

if the goal is "democracy", then sure, its lost. theocracy & partition are the only realistic outcomes at this point.
