"A couple weeks ago it was Obama who co-opted Bush's ideas about talking to ground commanders."

Actually, Obama's 16-month timeline has ALWAYS been a flexible estimate based on the available data. He has ALWAYS been open to adjusting this in accordance with advice from commanders.

"So my position has not changed, but keep in mind what that original position was. I've always said that I would listen to commanders on the ground. I've always said the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed. And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I'm sure I'll have more information and will continue to refine my policies."

It's funny to watch them writhe, contort, and flip-flop, isn't it?

LOL.

According to a Pew Research study, there are substantial differences in the knowledge levels of the audiences for different news outlets. Regular viewers of the Daily Show / Colbert Report have the highest knowledge levels (54%). Regular viewers of the Fox News Channel have the second-to-lowest knowledge levels (35%).

Although the Daily Show / Colbert Report attract younger audiences [those still in school], more Daily Show / Colbert Report audience members (31%) have a bachelor's degree than Fox News viewers (22%).

"Bill O'Reilly kept referring to The Daily Show audience as 'stoned slackers.' But viewers of Jon Stewart's show are more likely to have completed 4 years of college than people who watch The O'Reilly Factor, according to Nielsen Media Research."

LOL.

They walk.

They talk.

They walk, they talk; pull the string and they say 'America, we will let you know when the war is over'.

And if you pull the string again, they say, 'More money please. It's a LONG war.'.

And if you pull the string again, they say 'More bodies please it's a LONG war.'.

And if you pull the string again, they are gone.

Because they weren't really your puppets; you were theirs.

And its 2009 and Bush is off golfing and writing his memoirs, and McCain is golfing and writing his memoirs, and the knock on your door; - that's YOUR bill for the war.
