88. Not shy about taking credit are you?
If I may be so bold, I actually have a grip. And no thank you I already have plenty of links and won't need that one that is getting pimped here with every other post. The MSM is finally paying attention as you say - but to Code Pink. It's silly to claim that the MSM wouldn't be paying attention to the war, and that many here at DU wouldn't be "sort of aware" if it weren't for Code Pink. Puh leeze.

At least you're doing SOMETHING, right? Charles Manson went out and did SOMETHING. I have found my life is more meaningful if I try to do SOMETHING RIGHT. If you manage to discredit Democrats enough, maybe you can help get a neocon president elected in 2008 and give them Congress back too. Then when we end up invading Iran and never getting out of Iraq I'm sure none of that will be your fault.

Did you know that only 21% of Americans support an immediate withdrawal from Iraq? 37% think they should come home within a year. 21% + 37% = 58% support for getting out in a year or less. Democrats are trying right now to put together something that would do that.

Now run along and continue high-fiving with members of your little self-congratulating social club and see how much more attention you can draw to yourselves. I hope you won't mind if a few of us others try to help get something done that will actually have a chance of ending US involvement in the war.
