ScrappleFace (Scott Ott) Kennedy: Vote Shows 93 Senators Out of Mainstream — “After the Senate voted 93-6 today against setting a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq, Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy held a news conference to announce that his 93 colleagues are “clearly out of the mainstream of American opinion.” ”

Wizbang (Lorie Byrd) Senate Rejects Iraq Troop Pullout 93 – 6 — “If we had cut and run when John Murtha and others first suggested it, we would not have located and killed Zarqawi and found the treasure trove of information that is allowing us to round up additional kidnapping, torturing, head chopping terrorists. That would have been grotesque.
There will, no doubt, be more violent days ahead in Iraq, and more deaths of innocent Iraqis and U.S. and coalition troops. Progress is being made, though, and those who would prefer to leave before the mission is completed, in my opinion, don’t want to see us succeed.”

Confederate Yankee New Docs Link Saddam to Taliban — “Saddam to al Tikriti to Atta. A strong link from Iraq to 9/11. Add this to evidence that Saddam gave money and housing to Abdul Rahman Yasin, the 1993 World Trade Center bomb builder, and I’d say that you’re looking at evidence that Saddam was linked to attacks on the World Trade Center not once, but twice.
“Illegal war?”
I think not.”

Dr. Sanity (Dr. Pat Santy) THE COMFORTS OF PARANOIA — “In two major wars, the Left has consistently perceived America as the threat to the world, and ignored to the point of complete hysterical blindness the real oppressors of human freedom and dignity. During Vietnam they deluded themselves into thinking that Communism was benign (some even believed it to be superior to a free society) as long as you didn’t provoke it.
And now they prefer the same delusion about Iraq and the homicide bombers of the religion of peace.
They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.”
