Lots to catch up on since last night...
My blogging software broke while adding the Air America button last night, so I couldn't add anything when I got home last night. But here's a brief run-down of what I wanted to post.
Coalition all but admits they've lost southern Iraq (see page 2), and they're begging 'Old Europe' to provide security for the UN. It turns out that Bush and his thugs were told this could happen and apparently ignored it. Insurgents are taking hostages, and Sunnis and Shi'ites have joined forces to toss us out. Repubs in Congress are starting to fear that they could lose the Senate, and they've taken the floor of the Senate to blast anyone the least bit critical of ThugCo and their utter, total, complete and comprehensive lack of any foreign policy.
Did I miss anything?

Republicans follow the 11th Commandment as articulated by Saint Ronald (Reagan): "Thou shalt speak no ill of another Republican".
They will follow the brain-dead Imposter-In-Chief right down the drain, because they are gutless and clueless cave-dwellers.

you missed the fact that they are starting to show wounded american soldiers climbing out of a burning tank on cnn, that's a new one, maybe war isnt just a video game after all, it turns out people are getting killed for real, damn, you could knock me over with a feather...

Latest from MSNBC has some hostage details: among those being held are 2 "arab Israelis", a term not otherwise explained; also the people holding the 3 Japanese are threatening to burn them alive if Japan doesn't pull out.
No source given on the latter item, so keep the salt shaker handy.
BTW nobody is pointing it out yet but the Southern cities in the hands of Sadr's people are right along the route we went in on, which is therefore the route that would be used if Operation Bugout was contemplated. They've got us surrounded.
Juan Cole has some updates now. Folks don't seem to have gotten Rummy's memo that the pilgrimmage has been cancelled this year...

bush's spin doctors are starting to look like baghdad bob
"there is no shi'ite uprising, its only a small number of rebels, pay no attention to the burning tank...."

I posted this in a thread at Atrios as well. This morning I had 2 TVs going at once(I have no life) one on the 9/11 hearings and the other on C-Cpan2, which was live on the Senate floor. Senator McConnell, whom I mistakenly called Mitchell earlier, spent his time this morning wisely. He spoke about MoveOn.org and how they are breaking the law and hurt our war in Iraq. He then moved on to John Kerry and the fact that by not voting on the chimp's 87 billion dollar war on TERROR package, he is hurting the war in Iraq. He also used a little time to continue to belittle Richard Clarke. First, I want to throw up each time I hear this war in Iraq is a war on TERROR. Second, if the repubs wanna keep ol' Clarke alive in the press, have at it boys. Third, would it be too much to ask the repubs in the Senate to actually do some WORK instead of getting a little free campaign time in for this failed leadership in our country? I'm beginning to think O'Franken is right; not only is this administration starting to unravel, I think they are taking the GOP down with them.
Have a wonderful day...

Comments like that give me a chubby! Oh, to dream...
I have stopped fantazing at night about seeing Daren Kagan nude and started dreaming about the Bushies all taking their collective kick in nuts...except Condi. I don't know the appropriate feminine emasculating term. Let me know>
