You'd think GOP would stop Iran for their own future
because with the incompetence the administration has shown its likely that the GOP will lose 3 war simultaneously with Bush at the helm.

1. They're utterly delusional.
You'd have a point if they would acknowledge reality in any way, shape, or form.

Unfortunately...

5. Not only delusional
The Republicans that continue to support this policy, show that they have no regard for the troops, the families of the troops, the people of America, and they have betrayed their oath to support and defend the Constitution.

Republican loyalty is to their King, and with the exception of a few brave souls, they are all traitors, in my humble opinion, and should suffer the fate of all traitors!

6. Hah... if only! A republican caller on c-span this morning
was STILL carrying on about how 'we can still win this' and 'we're doing good there' and how 'wars are not lost on the field, they are lost in the halls of congress'

Ugh... I wish stupidity that deep were fatal, really. It would do the species so much good.

8. Do you think that faith itself represents a fatal flaw in them?
Being so willing to operate outside the realm of facts and expect reward in the hereafter seems to mean that there is no accountability built into the here and now.

2. I'm surprised that the repukes aren't doing this as well
But I'm also surprised that the dems haven't done more. 70% of people are against the war and said so by electing the dems in a huge manner. I am curious to see what will happen when the Iran war starts by both the dems and pukes.

3. It's the sunk costs fallacy I think
They are afraid to admit how much money they've wasted, so they are going to plow more money into it in hopes of someday getting a return on their investment.

4. That's what the ISG tried to do.
The guys like Poppy and Baker know Junior has destroyed the republican party for a decade. They want to try and prevent him from destroying it completely. But the neocons have become impossible to control with such an ignorant moron in the Presidency.

7. It will happen. Omen? NC-Rep Conservative Walter Jones ....
They do not come any more blue or more conservative than Walter Jones, and he is foresquare against Bush's escalation and the war in Iraq.

If Bush lost Walter Jones, there must be a huge number of Repubs who have not publicly come out against Bush that are just as opposed in private. It will boil over, and Bush is finished.

9. I'm hoping your right, but the facts of the last 6 years
leaves a lot of room for despair about the rationality of the American people.

11. Part of that is due to the Republican echo chamber
It makes it seem there's a lot more of them than us. That is absolutely false. It's an illusion they've worked tirelessly to create for twenty years. They control most of the levers these days.

The real problem lies in Congress, which is largely driven by deep-pocketed corporate interests, and at the doorstep of our corporate media, which treats the news as opinion and won't inform Americans of anything that doesn't stroke their profit margin.
