Every vote count, over and over in 2000, came in with Bush-Cheney ahead. Gore's lawyers wanted to count and recount almost every single county in Florida -- but just the Democratic counties. In 2004, Bush won by a significant margin, thus validating the 2000 Supreme Court decision.

As Ollie would say to Stan..."this is another fine mess you've gotten me into"

RAMADI, Iraq - Whole neighborhoods are lawless, too dangerous for police. Some roads are so bomb-laden that U.S. troops won’t use them. Guerrillas attack U.S. troops nearly every time they venture out — and hit their bases with gunfire, rockets or mortars when they don’t.

Though not powerful enough to overrun U.S. positions, insurgents here in the heart of the Sunni Muslim triangle have fought undermanned U.S. and Iraqi forces to a virtual stalemate.

“It’s out of control,” says Army Sgt. 1st Class Britt Ruble, behind the sandbags of an observation post in the capital of Anbar province. “We don’t have control of this ... we just don’t have enough boots on the ground.”
