Soon we will see an all out assualt from W: THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
was the last hoorah for Hitler...based on a mad plan...cost 5876354768756118 lives/wounded to turn the corner.....Gen Patton helped save the day..

Will he be successful? what are the odds?

2. Whoa!
"cost 5,876,354,768,756,118 lives/wounded" that's a LOT of casualties!
Five quadrillion, eight hundred seventy-six trillion, three hundred fifty-four billion, seven hundred sixty-eight million, seven hundred fifty-six thousand, one hundred eighteen.

5. Big Marks (Buck$) and it cost him his life as well of too many others
In Bushies case, the final surge most likely come from Roves demonstrated devious mind...

I see the continuation of distraction and distortion...but those have extremely limited value given the fallen credibility level due to exposed deception from Bush.

He has tried the Catholic Card but limited value there as well

He is using his wife to attack Kerry....not enough muster there too,

The Firefighter/Police/Military votes Bush once had have been eroding of late.

Even staunch Pubs are looking at Bush with jaundiced eyes now...

So what will the Bush do?

4. Battle of the Bulge?

6. Bush and Rove are letting Cheney do the dirty work. So far, their
"Battle of the Bulge" looks like a fifties grade school spitball fight.

9. The Patton Prayer (updated)
"Almighty and most merciful Creator, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate corporate media with which we have had to contend. Grant us a level playing feild for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as fair-minded and concerned citizens who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen."
