...ya gotta do what you gotta do. We will not beat them until we adopt
their methods. Not the suicide stuff, but most everything else.

...we're static in that we have set bases and compounds. We are an
invasion force, not a guerilla force.

...I don't expect him to be impeached. Although I'd love to see that
go before the Senate. But don't fool yourself on it being business as
usual in the mid-terms. People are fed up with Bush and it is going to
play out on a local/state level. About the only action that would save
the mid-term elections for the GOP at this point would be a serious
troop reduction in Iraq. Rove has already said he was going to use the
same old fear-mongering stance that has been played out since
9-11...so time will tell.
