2) Rewriting the Iraqi Constitution to be more equitable to Sunnis rather than the Shiite-friendly version that threats to drive the country to civil war.

3) Redeployment of troops.

OMG, she's a lunatic!

I'll bet George is having a cow. Cheney is probably standing there ready to shoot it.

A cow with a head that sorta looks like a chimp... maybe Dick is right to shoot it.

I am most interested to see:

*what happens with immigration reform- I oppose amnesty for illegals. "Hey- break the law, we'll still let you stay!"

*what happens with spending - will the new congress shrink gov't and spending?

Well, since the Republicans lost this election based on the war, I think it's appropriate that that is the place Bushe seeks to make the first changes. However, don't try to full us in saying that his resignation had nothing to do with the election. How stupid do you think we are? Why doesn't Bush take credit for making a good decision and firing the guy?

Because it is not something he can take credit for. Rumsfeld has tried to resign more than once and Bush made him stay.

I disagree.

3 out of 5 Republican Senators who voted AGAINST the war were voted OUT.
Lieberman TROUNCED an anti-war democrat.

It it not a black and white issue, and I feel it is incorrect to say they lost based on the war.

I kind of feel sorry for ol' Rummy. Seems to me like GW kept him around to be the whipping boy, and once the election proved that tactic wasn't working GW cut Rummy loose.
