 Political Animal: Comment on Benchmarks vs. Timetables
My view is that everyone who has said anything on the issue does agree that the US should get out in the very near term--that Juan Cole's withdrawal plan looks a lot like Bush's stand up, stand down rhetoric and nobody wants to stay past Kevin's 2007 deadline.
But for Ed to claim that leading Democrats have courageously staked out a position here would be hard to demonstrate.
Not at all - Hundt's saying we ought to get to that position in plenty of time to stake it out as the Dem position, well before Bush is forced to back into it.

Spike reminded himself that Cordelia had been at the funeral, so the last time she'd seen him he'd only been drunk and brawling with her boss, instead of trying to torture him to death, which he thought might be an important distinction.
Then the bitch queen whipped out a stake and started toward him, and he thought it might not.
Cordelia's gaze went over his shoulder, but whatever she saw there must have backed him up, because she lowered the stake.

It is possible that the stakes were incorporated into the ramparts of a Roman marching camp (''[[castra]]'').
Projecting from the ramparts at an angle, they would present a barrier to an attacker attempting to climb up.
Experiments with reconstructions have been disappointing in that such barriers are not strong, the symmetry of the stakes make them easy to pull out of the ground

Schiavo prevails, then every person whose life is considered of negligible quality by a court or a legal guardian could be condemned.
