You too can join the Vichy Democrats...just pick up your white flag over there...
I'm just all a-feared. I mean if we have lost semi-obscure Roger Simon (author of not-really-best-selling books about a washed-up sixties radical...insert your own joke ...here), semi-obscurer Michael Totten, and obscure-unto-non-existant Cara Remal, well, Jeebus!, we might just as well pack it in, force our wives to have more children, bust up the unions, trash the environment, invade more countries, privatize the government by turning it over to Halliburton, watch Fox news, and buy lots more guns and volumes 3 through 9 of the Left Behind series.
I mean, dude, it is so over. Or as Michael says:
Democrats: You had better snap out of denial and get your act together fast. You are in so much trouble and you have no idea.
Speaking of being in trouble and having no ideas, I see things are going swimmingly over in Iraq:
U.S. troops clashed with about 350 rioters on Friday in a suburb of Baghdad, including some holding Saddam Hussein’s picture aloft and calling the Americans “terrorists.” Meanwhile, a U.S. soldier was killed in a bombing in the hostile “Sunni triangle” area west of Baghdad, a U.S. military spokeswoman said.
[snip]
A U.S. officer at the scene, 1st Lt. Joseph Harrison, said someone tossed a grenade at American soldiers in the marketplace, wounding two Americans. About the same time, mortars fell on an Iraqi police station near the market.
U.S. forces responded with force. Col. Lee Quintas, with the 3rd Brigade, First Armored Division, said the mop-up operation in Abu Ghraib was the largest mounted in the area in four months, with airborne, tank and several infantry divisions called in for support.
After a three-hour interlude, when hundreds of Iraqis emerged from nearby mosques after Friday prayers, gunfire erupted again as U.S. armored vehicles moved into the area. Ten explosions and machine-gun fire were heard, and U.S. helicopters hovered overhead.
Among those arrested, the Americans said, were two Iraqis carrying a mortar firing tube.
The bodies of two Iraqi men — identified by friends and family as Mohammed Auweid, 45, and Hamid Abdullah, 41 — were carried from the area.
“God damn America!” shouted friend Ali Hussein, who said the men were simply passers-by. He said the Americans fired indiscriminately without warning when Iraqis began throwing stones at them.
“U.S. soldiers are the real terrorists, not us!” he said.
A photographer on the scene saw other civilian casualties being evacuated as well.
Vichy Democrats to the rescue!!!! Vive la non resistance!
Whoops. Got that vacation planned and then the rumpus room needs panelling and I was thinking about taking that class down at The Learning Annex......
(Added): I see Kevin is letting this be discussed over at Calpundit. He's much more civil about this over there. I don't do civil discourse, although, when I do want to be civil I can sound a lot like Kevin, who is a lot taller than me as well as more civil. Got that?
