Maybe it is too late, but before we give up on Iraq, why not actually try to do it right? Double the American boots on the ground... How old are Flat-Earth Friedman's kids? Maybe he should first convince them about that "doubling the American boots" part? He should also go to the Capitol and the WH and get the first 100 of the recruits from there.

CHICAGO Jun 15, 2005 — Sen. Dick Durbin refused to apologize Wednesday for comments he made on the Senate floor comparing the actions of American soldiers at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and a "mad regime" like Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot's in Cambodia. Durbin's comments created a buzz on the Internet Wednesday, fueled by sound bites of his speech on radio talk shows. By Wednesday afternoon, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna asked Durbin to apologize. "Senator Durbin's comments come as a great disservice to our military personnel in Guantanamo," McKenna said in a statement. "They are also a great disservice to all U.S. soldiers and veterans who have fought, and continue to fight, to overcome evil regimes and spread democracy around the world." Durbin did not plan to apologize for the comments, spokesman Joe Shoemaker said.
