So now McCain says that Obama is the candidate that Hamas favors?

But wait a minute: Surely Hamas would know that whichever candidate they said they favored, would have *less* of a chance of winning. So, if indeed they "endorsed" Obama, wouldn't this mean that they really want McCain to win?

Not that farfetched a theory, I would say. But the real conclusion to be drawn is, that it is completely absurad and infantile to make statements such as McCain's, and let the U.S. Presidential Race be controlled by the ramblings of psychopaths half a world away. As with Osama bin Laden and the Bush-Kerry contest in 2004.

These guys sure knew how to run a war

General Ricardo Sanchez's account, including Rumsfeld's attempt to buy him off to rewrite history. Now it seems that no-one made the decision to draw down forces after the invasion; just like the decision to disband the Iraqui military. Sanchez concludes:

In my mind, this action by the Bush administration amounts to gross incompetence and dereliction of duty.

Now imagine the reaction if a General were saying the same thing about a Democratic administration.
