Senator Webb should have.

At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing.

Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb.

“I didn’t ask you that, I asked how he’s doing,” Bush retorted, according to the source.

Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn’t. It’s safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won’t be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon.

Kissinger: Iraq military win impossible

Kissinger "Military victory is no longer possible in Iraq, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in a television interview broadcast Sunday."

"Kissinger presented a bleak vision of Iraq..."

"...Kissinger, an architect of the Vietnam war who has advised President Bush about Iraq..."

[sigh]

Kissinger is an evil evil evil horrible warmongering ill-advising clump of ignorance and malcontent. He, Bush, Cheany, Wolfowitz, Rummy, and the whole PNAC thugs are responsible for the blood of 500,000 innocent iraqis and 3000+ american boys who did their duty and fought for a what turned out to be oil $$$ and lies. What a worthless disaster. Hold them accountable for war crimes. They are all gears in a big death machine - a combine harvesting violence across the globe.

Don't even try and justify or defend their actions - you know you can't.

What happened to: "We will be welcomed as liberators"?
When was the: "Mission Accomplished"?
What about: "The terrorists are in their last throws"?

Out of touch and full of misinformation.

...there, sitting Mr. Bush, in his Oval Office, slouching in his easy chair - a totally empty surface on his desk, save a manilla folder in front of him. Written on the cover is, "Iraq Plans". He leans forward, opens the folder, pulls out from it a single sheet of paper, hold it near the reading lamp, flipping several times from front to back. The paper is blank. No plans.
