   ....[1]how I feel.

     General Patraeus will be confirmed by the Senate soon.
     Probably by close to a unanimous vote.
     He has said he needs more troops to secure Baghdad.
     Various Senators, who will vote for General Patraeus as the "Man to
     Accomplish the Mission", will then vote to deny the man the tools
     he has told them he needs.
     Then we wonder why after decades of trying to find solutions to the
     problems if the Middle East we are standing at square one. In the
     insanity called Washington, the "Man with the plan" is denied the
     tools to do the job, while the "Man with no plan" gets all the
     tools he needs to accomplish nothing.

   Can someone explain to me how a Senate that can confirm Petraeus and
   refuse the troop reinforcements that he wants can be worth having? In
   my entire life, this is the worst pile of worthless, self-absorbed
   boobs we've ever had.

     "In my many years I have come to a conclusion that
     one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and
     three or more is a congress." John Adams

   John Adams was more right than he could have ever known.
