Anyone tuned in to C-Span2? Interesting debate on the Iraqi situation going on as I write this. Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Mass. just finished an excellent speech I thought. It seems to me, listening to the debate, that the majority of senators do not agree with your assement of the president's speech Monday night (Bagpuss and Amos).

Bobert's senator (Byrd)is opposed to the resolution being debated because the debate is occuring so close to a national election. He wants to know why the decision to send America's young military people off to war has to be made this close to an election. Is one to assume, Bobert, that after the election it would be okay? :>)

I'm pleased to see "The Guardian" has popped up again as a source of unbiased opinion. :>)
