There have been many military experts on talk shows who believe a phased withdrawal is the best way out. This has been an extremely long war. The US military has occupied Iraq for six years and it's time to declare victory and leave. If more troops have to be moved to Afganistan, then fine. That makes some kind of sense, but staying in Iraq indefinitely costs too much and ties up the military whose leaders are predicting ten more years in Afganistan. It's time for the Iraqis to stand or fall on their own and since they just held an election, this seems like a good time to leave. They want us out.

He learned how to campaign in Chicago, but he doesn't know how to govern and that isn't something you can learn from campaigning in spite of what his team claims. Part of that team was Tom Daschle and I respectfully disagree with you about his fitness to serve as Sec. of Health and Human Services, Susan. Daschle's dishonesty in reporting his taxes is not the only problem he has. No matter whether he worked under the name of lobbyist, in effect that is what he is. His employers, Alston & Bird, are a K-Street Law Firm and represented CVS Caremark, the National Association for Home Care and Hospice, Abbott Laboratories and HealthSouth. He also supported the warrantless surveillance of the Bush Administration. The logical choice would have been Howard Dean and I've read he expected to be nominated to this position. Howard is now under the bus with the rest of us. He deserves it, we didn't.

No matter what his reasons for putting Gregg in this position, I don't trust him. Either it IS just a ploy to get him out of the Senate and get a Dem in his seat during the next election, or he does have plans to mess with SS and then blame it on Republicans. I am just wishing we had a leader we could trust to tell us what SHE really thinks. We could agree or disagree, but we wouldn't be guessing.

Nice to talk with you, too! None of the cases have been heard on merit--all dismissed on standing. Don't worry, though, the later cases will have those pesky standing issues all worked out. Smile :) Keep positive, UKforDems! We will get to the bottom of this eventually. I'm sure Obama has not minded spending almost $1 million in hiding it, but it can't stay a secret forever. ;) Love ya!!! xoxoxo Hi there UKforDems! Nice to talk with you, too!

Yes, the republican controled AZ state legislature which is as right-wing as many in the deep south, would do as they please. However democratic governor Janet Napolitano, vetoed ridiculous legislation. One republican state legislator had proposed allowing high school students to carry concealed weapons to school for their protection!! By law the AZ republican secretary of state replaced Napolitano as governor after Obama whisked Janet off to Washington to head Homeland Security. A job for which she has no special qualifications. It was more important to Obama to reward Napolitano for her early support of his candidacy than look forward to problems our state would have with a rep. governor. Obama doesn't see beyond his kiss my ass, and I'll do the same for you Chicago politics. UK for dems…..
