Well folks the Silly Season just go more silly, if that was possible, Florida has lost its Delegates to the national convention because they moved the date up for their Presidential Election. If I was a Democrat from Florida I would throw a right wobble, who is Howard Dean; head of he DNC; of scream fame to tell any one when they can vote. Its time for the elite of Florida to recall that they can give and take away as in they can decided to support a third party candidate or even a Republican. They should make it clear to Howard Dean, that he a very limited time frame to change the rules or else the Democrats lose the Democratic structure in the State. Does Florida want to be pushed around by a failed Presidential Candidate from a some little state. Time for the gloves to come off and for Florida to stand up for its rights.

More Deaths in Afghanistan
Views was sad to hear that three British Soldiers had died due to a " Friendly Fire " incident in Afghanistan last Thursday. So far since 2001, the UK has lost 73 personnel. Of those the BBC reports that Fifty have been killed in Combat and another twenty three killed in different incidents.

Lessons of History
Since President George W. Bush used the dreaded V word in connection of Iraq, the reviews have come in, here are some of the interesting ones that Views has read.
The Observer: Mr Hitchens shows why using Vietnam in the context of Iraq is a mistake. He has many good points, the White House should read them, hope this is the last time the President will use Vietnam as an example for Iraq.
The New York Times: How politicians and policy makes looks to history to draw lessons. Interesting worth a read this Sunday.
The Times: Why the Democrats might lose on the political front if Iraq turns around and becomes a small plus for the Republicans. Those Democrats that can see results in Iraq don't want to be seen as needing defeat to win.

Iraq Weekend
August takes its name from Augustus, the First Roman Emperor, one of the good ones. Thus we have politicians out of the Capital and on Holiday, this is always good, politicians not doing something is always good, they cant investigate for the sake of investigation, they cant try to micro manage a war. On the whole politicians should take a lot of time off. Its seems that the Democrat Foot Soldiers have smelled the coffee and will not try to micro manage the war, the liberals will go bonkers they thought they had it won when it came to Iraq. What if 2008 goes even better in Iraq, will this destroy the Democratic Party. The Democrats on the Hill don't see they have the power to force the President, the Washington Post reports that they are hopping Moderate Republicans will support them, given the improvement in Iraq it would be hard for these Moderates to really support the Democrats.
