There are absolutely no rules for that fight in my mind except to win. I will not sacrifice my daughter for my honor...I will not parlay my mother for my ability to sleep well at night knowing I have followed some bizarre set of rules. No the only rule I will follow is win, whichever way I can. I am not so arrogant to believe I can win with rules. I have seen this enemy and I know that only by focusing on winning can I hope to prevail. When we talk about sacrificing some unknown soldier for our ability to feel good about ourselves let us instead substitute our most beloved and see if we are still willing to make that "sacrifice". Let George Bush sacrifice his daughters to some set of Marquis de Queensbury rules...let Grandstand McCain sacrifice his sons for his absurd rules. If they feel so strongly that they are willing to sacrifice THEIR children then I will consider their idea. But not until then until then we fight to win...nothing less. 6/10/2006 03:11:00 PM To finish the picture of us at the gates ready to fight.

Good work, George. We used to scoff at Clinton wasting cruise missiles. How we would now cheer if a few were fired into some of Baby Assad's toys, and the IED Factories in Iran. ...not to mention the saturation bombing of Warizistan.

9-10-01 thinking was once said to be out of touch with the new reality,
yet almost 6 years later we are LESS lucid about the threats facing us.

Good work, George.

How we would now cheer if a few were fired into some of Baby Assad’s toys, and the IED Factories in Iran.

…not to mention the saturation bombing of Warizistan.
