The problem in Iraq is that Bush and Cheney broke it, and we don't have enough troops to undo the damage militarily.TomCathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-81731754187007184142007-07-29T08:31:00.000-07:002007-07-29T08:31:00.000-07:00Wizard, Mercurial and Nimble one, I think of you a...<b>Wizard</b>, Mercurial and Nimble one, I think of you as a member of my <i>hard-core gang of three</i> I look towards on a slow news days (or on days when I'm slow). I am remiss not to have credited you for elevating Senator Obama's statement to the level of importance it deserves. <a href="http://wizardfkap.blogspot.com/2007/07/we-aint-staying.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">I do so now.</a><br><br><b>Roger</b> is right, as usual.<br><br>And <b>Skip</b> triples when he asks,<br><br><i>We do have the good will of the Israelis though, don`t we?<br>. . . .Is having the good will of Israel good [enough] for North America?</i><br><br>He would still be on 3rd base if he hadn't tried stretching it out for an inside-the-park homer by dissing my homie, the Senator. But, against my better judgment, I am challenging Skip to name a better alternative candidate than Obama for president. Let's see if he can do that in 125 words or less (what I allowed my self in this reply), and without mentioning his fervor for <a href="http://technocracynow.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Technocracy</a> and/or trashing our constitution! <br><br>But let us not digress too much.

You know I love to read all my favorite blogs on a relaxing Sunday morning with a hot Starbuck's mocha (or two).<br><br>So I'm sure you guessed when I read your "headline" this morning the hair would stand up on the back of my neck and I'd be poised for attack!!!!<br><br>Ahhh..... but in reading your whole essay there is little or nothing on which we disagree. You are so right, Bush really did squander both our resources and our moral authority with his unwarranted and counter-productive invasion of Iraq.<br><br>Barack overstated his position and his handlers should pull him back a notch. Bill Clinton admits the "worst mistake of my Presidency" was his failure to intervene in Rwanda.<br><br>But I'll cut Obama some slack. He was trying to make a point (your point, actually).<br><br>So, instead of launching any arrows, I'll thank you for once again bringing the topic of Darfur to your journal. The more we can bring the topic of Darfur and Sudan to the attention of the American public, the closer we will get to real and realistic solutions to the problem.<br><br>the Wizard.......<br><br>P.S. Let's hope with the election of a new President in 2008 we can begin to restore America's honor on the world stage.
