Listening to the comments on the Senate floor yesterday, I was struck by how the war seems to mean something different to a lot of the Senators.  It is not about the dying, the suffering, the loss of prestige, the increased threats to our nation. It was about the size of their gentials, about who could prevail.  Dammit, it was about them! They just don't get it or they just don't care.

If you want things to get better, be prepared to deal with change.

Will end the war in two years? By my calculations (with a surge and urban warfare) that's 2000 more of our kids killed, 20,000 more paraplegics and amputees. I can't even begin to estimate the Iraquis lost in the next two years.

Come on now! We lost a dozen of our youth while they monkeyed around with procedural voting. These are human lives, Senators...where is your shame?

Hillary's comments reek of opportunism and bullshit to me.

"End it when I take office so I don't have to deal with it."

Um, why not use your power in the Senate and a strong voice to end it NOW?

Yeah her saying if president she'd stop the war may have sounded like a good soundbite to her at first-tough talk, but if people think about it for a minute they'll be asking the same thing as I am...you're a powerful Senator why aren't you talking tough now and doing something in the Senate..now not 2 years from now. I think she jumped the shark with that moronic statement, at least I hope so.
