Surge Argument Obscures the Steady State

The Senate gave Patraeus-Crocker a more thorough going-over than the House did on Monday. Though mostly the back and forth was about the surge, not about the 10 year plan; it was about the immediate 5 weeks in Iraq, not about the vertiginous conditions in the world at large.

Senator Russ Feingold, as usual, is the guy reasonable people would want to be President.

Worth your 9 minutes…Watch Crocker “uh uh uh” at 3 minutes.

Words for Acts

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies. From these proceed debt and taxes. And armies, debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

James Madison, 1795
