i just saw "late edition" with wolf blitzer. he had some generals

on talking about the war. one did not think it would be so bad if we have to keep troops there for 10 years or more just to help with training. another one said that the military that was in iraq has to be retrained in western ways. does this make any sense to anyone? this is the crap i saw when i woke up this morning. what a way to start the day. this damn war will go on forever.

3. Hey, Sis!

I also put on CNN when I got up this morning -- thing is, we had sound but no picture. It was ONLY CNN, all other channels were fine.

Jeff and I 'listened' for a while -- and both commented that Wolf is a lot more palatable IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT HIM!

5. If this war goes on 'forever,' it will be the fault of the American voter

There is a congressional election coming up next year. If enough anti-war candidates win, congress can force chimpie to end it.
