Take it how you will. It's your prerogative. I sincerely apologize for hurting your feelings.

You don't need to be 007 to pay attention to both sides of the news coming out of Iraq - I take the good with the bad. Some of it is great news, most of it bad, and a lot of it unwarranted. But then we could relish in the fact that the Mission has been Accomplished, the truce is working, Democracy has won and can someone please answer the question - what constitutes victory, and when are the troops coming home?

No? Ah well. You don't know because no else knows, because no one has a plan, because the American people have just started demanding a plan. I seem to recall the original plan prior to the strategists being fired, our greatest and Highest ranked Generals being replaced, calling for a fast execution, multi-National support and FIVE Times the amount of support and troops currently in the theater. But then this sounds like a rational plan.

So perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us on when the Greatest military force in recent Modern history of the Planet, exceeding the time we fought WWII will be coming home.

It would be nice to see our friends, family, our Countrymen.

Yesterday Leonard Pitts wrote an excellent column about this very subject. In it he talks about how poor white people have served as cannon fodder for the rich since the Civil War and how they continue to be fooled and manipulated even today. That is why things will never get any better for them.
