DEMORALIZING COWARDICE: [In a letter from Army Sgt. Daniel Dobson, he] says he was in the chow hall in Mosul, watching CNN on the day of the House vote [decrying the sending of more troops to Iraq]. He writes ... "it made me furious to see congressmen unashamedly proclaim their cowardice, but the reaction of the soldiers tore my heart in two. The faces were that of men that looked as if they were just told there is no United States to go home to. The fury gives way to depression: the thought alone that our elected representatives do not represent us anymore is more than depressing. We see cowardice, sickening spineless cowardice and it makes soldiers sick." -- Cal Thomas, townhall.com, 2/20/07
