Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Math Junkie]

Good point about the real cost of oil. I have also seen the point made that the war in Iraq is distracting us from fighting al Qaeda, although the latter reportedly are engaging us in Iraq now. I guess time will tell whether the war in Iraq will turn out to be good strategy from the point of view that it is better to fight al Qaeda there than here.

I suspect that the terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere hope that a Democratic administration would be better for them than the present Republican one. If so, I think they are seriously lacking in their understanding of American Politics.
