Maybe Women Shouldn't Serve On The Armed Services Committee

They don't seem emotionally capable of handling what they hear there. I'm just reading this piece from July 30 in which Rep. Nancy Boyda was so upset by testimony that there's been a turn-around in Iraq that she (advancing the cause of women everywhere) had to leave the hearing room because she couldn't handle the good news.
And I just will make some statements more for the record based on what I heard from -- mainly from General Keane. As many of us -- there was only so much that you could take until we in fact had to leave the room for a while. So I think I am back and maybe can articulate some things -- after so much of the frustration of having to listen to what we listened to.
You know, Nans, if we win, the troops still come home--faster, even.


Mr. W. & I were commenting last night that simply as a political calculus, the Dems are going to have to yield to Bush at this point. They may make a show of opposition, a la this from this morning (nothing Petraeus says can persuade us, says Charlie Rangel), but if they don't want Pres. Hillary or Obama to have to preside over a messy surrender & Iraqi killing fields, it's in their interest to let Bush clean up. So maybe we can all let out our breath for a few months. Unless the entire majority is as foolish as Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-KN).
