Is Barack Obama laying the groundwork on a run for the White House in 2008? Avedon has some thoughts on that and a number of links worth reading.
Where did the $500 million go?
Gavin at Sadly No! asks: “Who’s stupider, Dan Riehl or Confederate Yankee?” That’s a hard one. So many variables. It’s like asking “who would win in a fight between Maximus in Gladiator and Han Solo in Star Wars?” The answer is less important than asking the question, you know?
The Strategy in Iraq Has Never Been “Stay the Course”… Right? (Long pause.) Ain’t reality a bitch?
Bill O’Reilly to President Bush: “[Y]ou work hard, right?”
Dave at Seeing the Forest cites the following quote:
The top US general defended the leadership of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, saying it is inspired by God.
“He leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country,” said Marine General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Then, rightly asks “While very few in leadership positions in this country have kids in Iraq, outside of the Capital there are families, parents, friends and co-workers of the people serving there. I wonder what they think when they hear this stuff? Are they filled with confidence that the leadership is … well, sane?” Read it all.

“We are constantly adjusting our tactics so that we achieve the objective, and right now it’s tough… it’s tough,”
which is as close to an admission that the war is going badly as we’re gonna get from Capt. Codpiece …then at a GOP fundraisor Bush stated:
“Which political party has a strategy for victory in this war on terror?’”
Nuff said.
