      More real fair and balanced commentary. Hey, when it happens, let's acknowledge it.

      Maybe someone's finally growing a pair! (That's figuratively, Judith.)

      But Hannity just didn't want to give it up. Like a scrawny dog with an old bone.

      (Side note - when you do a spell check on "Hannity", one of the choices is "Humanity". Nothing can be further from the truth. Weird.)

      Iraq attracted all the extremist elements....that's your excuse for 'dithering' on Afghanistan? lol If they didn't attack Iraq, they wouldn't be there.

      DOH!

      you know, there is a bit of irony in hannity's excuse of the bush administration making iraq "ground zero" for the war on terror and diverting attention from afghanistan.

      i remember watching the great "oufoxed" documentary by brave new films, and they showed a segment on hannity & colmes a few months after 9/11 where they interviewed larry johnson, a former CIA analyst, who said the very same thing hannity is asserting here. johnson stated, "going into iraq is going to divert resources, and the tension, that should be focused on al-qaeda". hannity, as usual, replied with rationalized slogans, "we do have the ability, and the resources, to... we're able to walk and chew gum. we can handle the situation in iraq and we can still finish the job of projecting against al-qaeda in another attack".

      and now he does a complete 180 and claims the exact opposite. granted, that was about 7 years ago, but hannity has such a black and white, narrow frame of mind that he doesnt think before he makes such a ridiculous claim.

        correction: hannity said that iraq became "ground zero in terms of attracting the extremist elements".

        the last thing i want to do is misstate that idiot. i wont give him the satisfaction. :)

          It's just as stupid, either way. Like extremist elements would go to Iraq to fight the U.S., but not Afghanistan? Like the U.S. has the right to determine any country in the world is now bait? Hannity doesn't know what he's talking about, and has only one focus - to be the head cheerleader for the Republican party.

          You also inadvertently mentioned Hannity's "frame of mind". Less of a frame, moreso something along the lines of a locket.

      Oh, this is rich. All of a sudden, the Troglodytes are counting casualties. Remember how they responded to complaints from the Left about casualties in Iraq?

      Rush Limbaugh, for one, poo-pooed the body count and said more people were killed each year in several major American cities.

      I also believe that more than one responded "Well, they volunteered, didn't they?"

      The scary thing is that these imbeciles may very well take back Congress in 2010.
