Bright or might don't make right, though, Mystic. Nor does it signal
aptitude or expertise. This woman is a political player, nothing more. Her real expertise: keeping the spin alive and well.

"Condoleezza Rice is a born politician."
Saul...Boy isn't she. Knows how to duck and dodge them questions with the best of them. Its frustrating watching her trying to get some answers, she just doesn't give any. That was a pretty arrogant and ignorant statement on her part, i'm surprised as she is an extremely bright lady.

Right you are, scoop. Sadly, even though people don't buy this as a
winnable war, they do buy the line that we are fighting terrorists in Iraq. We are not fighting terrorists in Iraq. We are fighting insurgents and rebels, some of whom happen to be using terrorist tactics. Terrorism lives and breathes throughout the world. It has and will exist forever. Fighting an organized paramilitary or military group is not fighting terrorism per se, although you may actually be fighting people who engage in terrorism to advance their cause. But that becomes a perspective issue: one man's terrorism is another man's strike against tyranny or oppression.

Why is it that so many people anymore have such a ho hum attitude
about this war? I remember our park back in the spring of 2003 with a big support the troops and war rally. People sending packages, support groups but as the local kids came home less and less was said and done. I think many see it as futility. An un-winable war, we kill three insurgents and 6 more show up. We are not fighting terrorists. The terrorist are in Jordon. Syria, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran. We are sidetrack with the Bush folly as terrorist cells grow around us.
