Would you trust the administration more than Pollock? If so, why?

Kinda like asking if I trust a blogger over the NYT-Well, over the former NYT. :>)

I am happy with what the Admin has done. And did not expect anything too different. It would be nice if the post-war was smoother, but that is true after all wars, and this was a new experience for us.

Pollack, BTW, probably wanted us to do what we have done, but he wants further work in the FA establishment too much to come out and say so. Everything he predicted about what Saddam has been proved true. I am not excited about the WMD controversy.

I think the currant bunch of Rascals are doing about as well as you could expect of rascals. It is always a "Broken Arm or Broken Leg" situation. You don't want either, but we have not been able to get by without one or the other. This one is much more preferable to me.

I think the Dems are on their way from minority party to minor party. They are in the control of the anti-war hard left, and are probably going to give us that kind of National Candidate. Come on over to my Political thread if you are interested. Subject 53920

>>when do you think it would be a good time to throw the current batch of rascals out? <<

When there is a better alternative, not just an alternative for the sake of an alternative. I prefer the present set of rascals to anybody else on the horizon.

My Problems of Democracy teacher used to say that democracy is the worst form of government in the world, except for all the rest. I think that was a quote from Churchill, but maybe Churchill was quoting someone else.
