Mona Charen: "The key paragraph in President Bush's State of the Union speech was this: This is not the fight we entered in Iraq, but it is the fight we're in.

left this country and because commodity prices are so low, there’s very little— I mean, we have generation after generation of farmers where people are just talking about going out of business because they can’t make ends meet. And it is, fortunately or unfortunately, a part of the backbone of the rural economy in America." John Edwards
Bush translation: "This is the fight I started in Iraq, and it's the fight I'm in. Every one of us wishes this war were over. Yet it would not be like me to leave my promises unkept, my friends abandoned, and my own security at risk. Ladies and gentlemen: On this day, at this hour, it is still within my power to shape the outcome of this battle for oil and corporate welfare. Let us find our resolve, and turn events toward profit."
News Flash: The only way NeoConservatism will hold on to it's power is by the barrel of a gun. It's Planet not an f'ing Empire.
And now the entire Iraq lie/mess is squarely hanging around your neck.
Yes, I'm sure John Edwards is going to do a lot of farming on his new estate. Oky doky...
