Really? Did Cheney have a good understanding of them over a year ago when he said that the insurgency was in its last throes? Did we have a good understanding when we failed to send enough troops at the onset or failed to secure the weapons that were there?

No, I think there was room for improvement in our understanding, and still is.

With one major difference....there's an active WMD in Sacramento, baby.



The 'W' stands for woman, right?

THEN WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?????

I've agreed that this is what happens. The negative news is the news.

There is always room for more understanding. I don't necessarily think that a lack of complete understanding means action should not be taken. Otherwise action is never taken.

And in terms of understandnig, I meant motivation, not tactics or not making mistakes. Uderstanding who the enemy is is different than having complete knowledge of what they will do or the exact adjustments that will be made.

Some WWII general...was it Eisenhower?...said every battle plan is good until you engage the enemy (or something like that).

If you love 16" double-ended dildos, then this is THE ride for you.

Does it matter to you that I only think it and never type it?

Sorry, this is from a much earlier quote but I had to respond to it.

Apparently CNN and every other media outlet has a different take on what is newsworthy because the only story getting attention yesterday was about good news concerning a plot uncovered that prevented planes from being crashed. So it would seem that stories about planes that don't crash is considered newsworthy.

That's all fine except that Bush's daddy wrote many years earlier why we didn't invade Iraq after Kuwait. Every reservation he had proved to be accurate. It's one thing to not know how the enemy is going to respond. It's quite another to have that information before you, then disregard it when it puts a damper on your preconceived plans.
