Curious how what I hear from you and the left about an entrenched insurgency is completely disconnected from what I hear from the soldiers about an insurgency with very limited popularity, an insurgency that is so obnoxious to what should be its base of support that it gets kicked out of towns like Ramadi in red-on-red battles, an insurgency that is so desperate to stop the elections which even Sunni clerics now support that it has started to kill Sunnis as well as Shia and Kurds in an effort to prevent them. OK, Nadine, instead of convincing yourself that you're hearing from the "left," try listening to a few of the Generals and senior officers in Iraq. What are they saying about the staying power and strength of the insurgency? Hint, it's not too pretty for those like you who seem to think that we can marginalize the opposition. (Is it time to go back into Fallujah and "cleanse it" again?) But if you feel warmer believing the "last throes" silliness of war wimps like Cheney, go for it. Unfortunately, however, the lives of our young soldiers hang in the balance. Ed
