Well, at least one schmuck up here, and a predictable schmuck at that, found it inspiring;

Contains the usual neocon horseshit about 'staying the course'. I found it inadvertently hilarious as Gee tried to accuse everyone else of sounding desperate, while sounding flat out desperate himself. The only thing that really keeps me from enjoying it is that people are dying as a result of these people's warped dreams of empire.

A last observation from a 35 year old Doonesbury cartoon;

Mike Doonesbury (to Republican suit advocating 'staying the course' in Vietnam): 'Why is it when you people dig yourselves into a hole you insist on calling it a tunnel with a light at the end?'

Suit: <stunned pause> 'Touché you little monster'.

Welcome to the new hole.
