It really has been a week when I've had nothing to discuss that others (far wiser and better writers) haven't covered.

Frankly, I was sick of the whole Rice appearance days before she finally appeared today. I don't think there were any 'smoking guns' as the news folks have pointed out, except for one memo that may or may not have reached the good doctor's desk. Face it, the committee doesn' t truly want the 'truth' to come out, because it would indeed show that as Richard Clarke pointed out the government did indeed fail to do it's job.

Things do look grim in Iraq and I don't see anything that the current adminstration is doing that will make things better. We do seem at the point where we'll have to go to the U.N. and beg them to get us out of this situation, but I can't see them wanting to get involved at this point. Hell, who can blame them?

The Democratic Party should have a campaign ad where we have Bush talking about how the Iraqi people are better off now, meanwhile showing the destruction of houses, hospitals, schools, etc. that has occured since we invaded.
