I never said I wouldn't gloat.

John, I wish I were as sanguine as you are about our eventual success in Iraq after all the mistakes that were made that should never have been made.  Unfortunately, I can't see that.  It looks like we've managed to get our own version of the Israeli experience in Lebanon and you know how that turned out in the end.  In four years it should be clear whether Bush's efforts in Iraq have been a success or a failure, so history should be able to correctly judge his place in history.

Loaded Senate?  Even if all of the races that are still in doubt go for the GOP that only gets them 55 Senators which isn't enough to avoid the filibuster that will happen if Bush tries to appoint a hard right appointee.  Bush will have to nominate soft right justices with little to no paper trail for any vacancies that appear.  At most he might be able to appoint an existing hard conservative Justice tio replace Rehnquist as the Chief Justice.

The northeast should secede

So 2014 will be like 1814?
