(Editor's note: "B&E" are my parents". My Dad retired two years ago, they moved to Mesquite, Nevada, Mom developed a variety of medical ailments, and let's just say nothing's ever been the same since.)
Just got another call from Mom verifying that they're flying in to Minneapolis/St. Paul on Thursday. I told her we have tennis lessons at 7:30, and she said they might get here before then but then again they might not. Go figure.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
