"Is it just me or does anyone else notice how righties will say JUST ABOUT ANYTHING to scare their brainless lemming followers in to submission." It works on the spineless (D) congress. I think the people are way past that now though.

Well, at least that little piece of hysteria didn't bring up the ever popular Hitler/Nazi/Chamberlain thing beloved by true believers. See Message 24226857 or any number of posts by FADG's #1 poster.

Brzezhinski isn't in office right now. I think we can agree on that statement. So what business does he have meeting with Bashar Assad right now? Let's suppose the two said nothing but polite nonsense when they met in Damascus. WHAT MESSAGE DOES THE MEETING SEND? What except, we're going to be nice to you, look I'm here being nice to you, so be nice to us? What does that message mean when addressed to one of the owners of Hizbullah and Hamas?

Wow---now getting out of Iraq=killing fields and mass genocide to righty bloggers. Did you read the NYT editorial recommending immediate withdrawal from Iraq last summer? They predicted genocide themselves! And this was the policy they recommended! So it's not just righties.

There were some key points highlighted in that article Mark. I agree the author did a fair job of bashing dems with speculation but what about the main issues? If there is to be a Clinton or Obama sitting in the oval office, or even that likelyhood, sending emmisaries to Damascas now to begin establishing communication channels is a good thing, IMO. 1) If you are a dem believer it makes sense to use whatever influence you have to manipulate activity in the middle east in your political favor, short of sacrificing the interests of America. 2) Is the left position on Israel fairly stated? If not what is wrong with this authors analysis? 3) Are the outcomes of 'Out of Iraq' fairly stated or not? Is this realistically the agenda of dems? Is it defensible now and 20 years from now if manifest in 2008? 4) Do you see an American exit from the Persian Gulf under dem leadership?
