One Jeff Jacoby in today's Boston Globe - an admirer of Joe Lieberman.

http://www.boston.com/...

Sorry, don't have the time for an analysis but here are some salient statements.

LEGISLATION passed by congressional Democrats last week would force US troops to abandon Iraq beginning Oct. 1. Though a veto was foreordained, the vote was great news for the jihadis in Iraq, their second such morale boost in a week. On April 19, Senate majority leader Harry Reid had run up a white flag, declaring that "this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything" -- music to the ears of Al Qaeda and its allies .

But as Connecticut's Joseph Lieberman pointed out on Thursday, this is sheer fantasy. US troops have retreated from Iraqi cities and regions a number of times, yet "in each of these places where US forces pulled back, Al Qaeda rushed in. Rather than becoming islands of peace, they became . . . islands of fear and violence."

Senator John McCain, adamantly supporting the current "surge" in Iraq, says he would rather lose a presidential campaign than a war. Democrats, all smiles, prefer to lose the war and win the campaign. They're not alone. In Iraq, Al Qaeda is smiling, too.

•  I have some questions about Mr. Jacoby.

  He writes:

         How is he so well informed about the al-Qaeda and those he calls jihadis? Isn't such collusion in war-time treason?

•  Despicable

  His interpretation of the Democrats' moves is slanderous. Keep this on file for the next Nuremberg trials.

    we'll come into it, with our memory and knowledgeable use of search engines.

•  Don't Bother

  Jacoby is the token conservative on the Boston Globe.

  We in Boston pretty much ignore him (or read him for our amusement) and I don't think anyone who reads the Globe takes him seriously. People who swallow this logic all read the Herald anyway (Boston's other paper).

  Nothing to see here. Jacoby isn't worth responding to.

•  These people have cried wolf so may times

  that people are not listening anymore. Well, at least the people who actually have a functioning brain. The formula:

  Democrats = Surrender

  is so worn out that it is almost meaningless now. I prefer this:

  #include<iostream > <br>#include<kitchen.sink>

  using namespace std;

  void main()
  {
      USA = People of the United States;
      Republicans = (defecit spending / crooks) * liars;
      Future = treasury + our taxes + our kids taxes + their kids taxes;
      China = borrowed money that we owe;
      noFuture = all of the people who have died in the GWOT;

      Devestation = (USA / Republicans) - Future - China;
      World = Devestation + noFuture;
      cout << World << endl; <br>}

  Not my best work, but it will have to do. I am sure others may even have a better way to state it than I do. I have been punching C++ homework all night and I am beat...lol

  The majority of Republicans want us out of Iraq, as do a majority of the people. The more these idiots try to demonize those of us who are against this war (or have been from day one), the less people are listening to them as the reality of all of the waste of life and the bleak future for the USA, their children, grandchildren and the rest of the world sinks in.

  I have a feeling it is going to get worse before it gets better. It is just a gut feeling, but I have been right far too many times since Furious George defrauded his way into letting Cheney be the president.

  I think that Bush/Cheney/Repubs ought to use Styx's "Welcome to the Grand Illusion" as their theme song.

  It fits...

•  It's pathetic, but it's all they've got.

  There are no sane reasons for supporting the invasion and occupation. There are no arguments that come close to vindicating anybody involved with this bloody mess.

  All they've got left is "Democrats stabbed us in the back".

•  Jaoby is a joke

  Never take what this guy says seriously. No one else does anymore. He is but a right wing flame baiter.

•  realizing you are delusional & correcting it

  is not surrender. reality is always there, whether you accept it or not. this administration & its apologists remind me of the black knight in "the holy grail."
  bush & cheney should jump off the top of the washington monument & will themselves the ability to fly - anything less is defeat & surrender to gravity.
  fucking lemmings.
