Two notes on the big story tonight

[nadinbrzezinski]

1.- It will take UNTIL tomorrow for the talking points to leave to all points right wing. (That is why FOX is so damn quiet right now)

Some to be expected... who lost Iraq, and See the DEMS are a bunch of pussies.

2.- I am being serious here, as much as I am very pleased that tonight Iraqi Freedom is essentially over... MORE troops will still die in the comings months and until we fully pull out.

And finally, we already had ONE request from the Iraqis to extend our ahem present engagement... so do keep the pressure...

Oh and finally... that violence will just go up, spectacularly so.

On a strategic level, this is a BFD... on a tactical level, don't forget the ones who are still there. And yes, expect the violence to go up.

Now this is a note that people need to understand... as sad as this is.

Oh and to the POTUS... thank you for keeping this promise. How about that other war in Central Asia? If you keep your word on this... well by all means I hope we celebrate this again when the troops leave Kabul.

Sorry for the somewhat more somber assessment... I guess after the sugar high...

1. +1

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the violence level skyrockets. Hopefully it doesn't but...

:-(

6. Rachel said the site where they wanted to broadcast IN the Green Zone was

hit by explosives today. :scared:

I'm so sorry we did this to the people of Iraq. I hate Cheney and Rumsfeld and their puppet, Bush.

9. They get those every day

it is what is amazing, because we mostly don't hear about it.

8. Yah.

3. about those right wing talking points,,,,,

they will have to tread very lightly while slamming the POTUS not to disrespect the military men & women.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. It is the right wing after all

they won't hold off... mark my words on that.

Ok, early on they will... but wait for them to start going there withing weeks at the latest.

For the record a year or so ago I heard a RIGHT WINGER (and called him on it, and the cops) berate an Iraq Veteran, for losing the war.

4. Is this about the terror baby boom?

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Last combat brigade left today

turn over to MSNBC to watch the repeat.

[Skink]

10. I saw that. But I also saw briefly at the gym Rick Sanchez talking about the terror baby boom

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I have had not seen that crap

beyond TDS...

That said today I had an "argument" with a right winger who is also an immigrant over... how we do not enforce existing laws.

And my gym these days is my elliptical here at home.

Ah that exercise high...

12. I don't have cable.

I have the du which atleast saves me from buying newspapers.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I wish I did not live in a damn valley

where over the air was impossible.

[Skink]

14. I have the government issue set top box.

It's awesome. Everything is crystal clear and when Conan takes over for Jay I'll be there.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. It is a matter of geography for us

been 20+ years we got the cable living inside a narrow valley.

Don't know if you know anything about radio, but it is so bad, EMS, Fire and Police have two repeaters at each end of the valley.

[Skink]

16. I had an antenna in SD.

In Texas I got decent reception without an antenna. The set top box is good. Great reception. Cable makes no sense especially now with shows on Netflix.
