I could sit here and type example after example of the Iraqi War in comparison to damn near every war we have ever fought. Why the fuck is it that you only hear about comparisons to Vietnam? How about how Gen. George Washington lost Brooklyn, lost Manhattan, lost New Jersey to the redcoats. That sure as hell was a quagmire and all low points in American military history for sure, but in case you dont remember that one, we came back and kicked some ass and thats why you dont pay six bucks for a rather right honorable very grand earl grey at Starbucks.

Gen. Washington had a long and painful summer and autumn of defeat in 1776. His American Army had been defeated across New York -- in Brooklyn, Manhattan and White Plains -- and then driven across New Jersey and forced to flee across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Washington's forces had dwindled until he had only about 4,000 effective soldiers left. There were another 6,000 men present, but they were so sick they were unable to go into battle. Faced with declining morale, rising desertions, the collapse of political will in the country at large and a sense of despair, Washington decided to gamble everything on a surprise attack. It would require a night crossing of an icy river against a formidable professional opponent.

Now Im not seriously suggesting that Newt ripped me off, as my boy is wicked smart and as they say, great minds...

...but we have it on good authority that Speaker Gingrich is in fact a reader. So if imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, then consider The Aurora flattered. However I would much rather prefer the Ambassadorship to Brazil when he is elected President in '08 (Rhino would really appreciate a green card and some high grade gov't delta 9 for Warlike if you could)

EE-Aw!!!
