America's clear choice
"The insurgency in Iraq is destructive but small, and it has not and will never resonate with the Iraqi people.
...Thank you America."
"Because Iraq and America and the coalition are standing firm, the Iraqi people and not the terrorists will determine Iraq's future. There's much at stake...The war in Iraq is not only an Iraqi war, it is a war for the civilized world to fight terrorists and terrorism ... Iraq is a central front in the War on Terror and our only option is victory."
---George W. Bush as he spoke today with Allawi
Pessimism:
"Violence against Iraqis from bombings to kidnappings to intimidation is on the rise. Basic living conditions are also deteriorating. Residents of Baghdad are suffering electricity blackouts lasting up to 14 hours a day. Raw sewage fills the streets, rising above the hubcaps of our Humvees. Children wade through garbage on their way to school. Unemployment is over 50 percent. Insurgents are able to find plenty of people willing to take $150 for tossing grenades at passing U.S. convoys."
-- John Kerry in a speech on Monday at NYU
The choice is yours America...

Wonderdog, you didn't get the complete quote from Kerry on this:
". . . . cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Jenjis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of Iraq."
With Jenjis John the glass isn't half full or half empty. It's simply shattered into a thousand pieces.
"Jenjis John"...Excellent, Stewdog.
Do you really think Iraqi children are "wading through garbage" on their way to school?...You know my grandfather used to walk to school in the snow, uphill, barefoot...
