re: Republican Leaders Vow Comeback, Maintain Stance on Iraq Didn't expect them to quit, did you? Did you see where Blair acknowledged that the invasion of Iraq was a "disaster"? Wonder what made him change his mind? Seriously, if this parallels Vietnam (and it has so far) then we are starting that agonizing time when just about everybody says it was a horrible mistake, but the pols grasp at any straw of an idea to try to salvage something. And it keeps dragging on for years before somebody has the political will to "declare victory" and quit.

I wonder how his brother Joe feels about it? ""One should not attack the refugee camps where people live in misery, but rather attack the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad," the newly-appointed Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman told public radio Saturday." Israeli minister wants Hamas leaders 'sent to paradise' Sat Nov 18, 6:14 AM ET A far-right Israeli cabinet minister has called for Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya and other militant leaders to be sent to "paradise." "One should not attack the refugee camps where people live in misery, but rather attack the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad," the newly-appointed Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman told public radio Saturday. "All must disappear and go together to paradise." The ultra-nationalist leader said Palestinian foreign minister Mahmud Zahar, like Haniya a member of the ruling militant Islamist movement Hamas, should also be targetted by Israeli forces. "Mahmud Zahar and Haniya should no longer be able to move freely. They and their belongings should be attacked," said Lieberman, who joined the government of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the end of October. The comments come amid a flurry of calls by senior Israeli officials to step up military operations against Gaza militants and target their leaders after a Palestinian rocket killed an Israeli woman Wednesday. Lieberman is a member of the security cabinet and leader of the far-right Yisrael Beitenu party. Supporters say he is a man of principles who has the firm hand needed to wade through the world of Israel's domestic and foreign policies, while critics call him a dangerous radical, a fascist and a racist. In the interview, Lieberman called Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas "irrelevant." "He is a partner who has no power, no will, and no authority, and he has never respected his commitments," said the controversial minister, adding that Israel should work with Jordan to solve the conflict. Lieberman also called on Israel to reoccupy the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt "to put an end to the trafficking of weapons, rockets and funds." Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer, a member of the left-leaning Labor Party, on Thursday similarly said that "targeted killing operations must be broadened, not only against those who fire rockets but against their leaders." Defense Minister Amir Peretz also vowed Wednesday to "move against those who are involved in the firing of rockets, starting from their leaders and down to the last of their terrorists."
