Nice post. Jeff Kent regularly batted third as a Giant. Not sure where he's hitting now with the Dodgers. Your point is still correct, a third place hitting 2nd baseman is a rarity. Kent's a first ballot hall-of-famer. Hey, it worked for Dusty in SF. Maybe Walker is headed for the Hall and we just don't know it yet. But I doubt it.

These would be the same moderates, like Rafsanjani, who declare that Israel should cease to exist (just not in one big bang) and who persist in calling the U.S. the Great Satan. I guess they're only moderately deranged.

I love this post, because I can't stand the SecDefense. But why muddle your point with an attack on us left wingnuts who protest so poorly. Oh, I agree, replete with unintended irony.
Anyway, I'm going to link back to this post. Well done.

A good satirist would never include the victims of tragedy – especially such soul searing events like 9/11 and Katrina – as props for an attempt at humor. Pretty sickening.
Apparently you have never heard of "A Modest Proposal."

CHICAGO: THE ONLY NUCLEAR, SMOKING, AND FOIE GRAS FREE ZONE IN AMERICA
I wonder if the socialist would be willing to grant fetuses, who share 100% of the human genome, the same rights as humans. Somehow, I can guess the answer to that.

FROM HERE ON OUT, THE AMNESTY PROGRAM IS A REPUBLICAN ISSUE
Is it possible that we can have no majority? Can we add "just go home" to the ballot?
(Hope this does not post twice.)

You should post the sites that attacked Carroll.
You can start with mine.
I still think she's a seditious, America hating, rat and I could care less that she's free.

BAGHDAD AS IT IS, NOT AS WE WISH IT TO BE
The Tet analogy refers to the media campaign, which is separate from any military operations. This is what the enemy has been expending energy on, winning the propaganda war. I'm not sure what kind of boldness will counteract the pressure of the American media, since any drastic change of strategy or personnel will undoubtedly be portrayed as the last act of a desperate administration.
Fortunately, this administration has over two years left to keep plodding forward. Unfortunately, everyone seems to understand the vagaries of the biennial American electoral process, and the fact that the political leadership in this country is fractured on the topic of the GWOT will be exploited until the fault lines are erased.

Good Lord, let's all throw our hands up and run around like headless chickens. I wonder where the insurgency, which has been under tremedous pressure in the outlying areas, will fall back to? How about Baghdad? To the people in Baghdad, the violence that used to be predominately somewhere else is now in the capital. They may be getting the full attention of the insurgents and jihadis both.
The raid we just helped the Iraqis with on one of Sadr's militia hangouts should (I hope) indicate that we are planning on pulling his teeth, while also accentuating the fractures in the Shiite bloc. Perhaps this will galvanize the Iraqi politicians to quit temporizing and get to governing. The Iraqi Police have been infiltrated and it's time to put some effort into cleaning them up. The Iraqis will have to do this, but we can roll up Sadr and his Iranian-backed thugs.
Greg Djerjian has wanted Rumsfeld's head for three years now. Last time I looked, he wasn't the military governor of Iraq, so I'm at a loss to see how sacking him will help the situation now. This is a political contest now, and the Iraqis need to step up here too. Our emphasis has understandably been on their military development. They need to start exercising their political muscles and assert civilian control of the military situation.
I'm sure our enemies are well aware of the Tet gambit, and are, in fact, counting on our media to carry their water for them. There's no need for you to join the parade yet.
