Dickey--

Yet again, you were the one who talked about "winning"--a meaningless term in the "war on terror"--you may possibly recognize. This is a trap you diligently set for yourself.

Then we finally squeezed out of you that you thought it meant a "stable government" in Iraq. Another meaningless statement--since you know Iraq will not be a Western democracy in the near future.   So, if not a Western-style democracy, you need to tell us what you will be satisfied with in Iraq as a "stable government". Since we will not sign on to an open-ended commitment--there has to be a measurable goal.

If you consider this bullying, my heart bleeds for you.

If you can't stand the heat..

If you plan to defend the Bush stupid--and tragic, since needless-- war in Iraq, which has caused many people more grief than "bullying"--and for which you, in common with the other pro-war giant intellects, have not exactly sacrificed much, it will behoove you to answer questions directly.

Or perhaps you would like to tell us how much you and your family have suffered due to the Iraq war.
