Hi. A lot of today's stuff reflects the fact that the Left Blogosphere is livid over the Iraq war supplemental.
Greg Sargent at TPMCafe sums up the state of play for the Democrats. And John Aravosis is not happy after watching the President's news conference this morning. But Jeffrey Feldman at Frameshop argues that the Democrats are not making a mistake with the war bill.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann isn't buying it though. And neither is Kos.
Ed Morrissey, blogging at Heading Right, says the U.N. bears responsibility for the outbreak of violence in Lebanon. But RawStory picks up on Sy Hersh, who sees U.S. blowback.
Real Clear politics links to John Edwards's foreign policy speech from yesterday, in which he argues that the Global War on Terror has backfired on the U.S. -- and the White House response to Edwards's argument.
The Huffington Post links to a USA Today report that the White House has set up a rapid response team to talk back to the blogosphere on the immigration bill.
If you're interested in the fired U.S. attorneys controversy, the place to go is Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo, which single-handedly drove the story forward when no one else in the media was reporting it. TPM's Muckraker arm wraps up Monica Goodling's testimony from yesterday.

Adding insult to injury, Edwards now tries to steal Mike Gravels words that there is “no war on terrorism.” A little late for that isn’t it John? Very much like the FEAR the president uses, “false hopes” are the other political shoe often used in the felonious manipulation of the masses (especially by second tier candidates LOSING). I think I’m a bit too old for that JOHN.
It’s funny how those who VOTED FOR THE FREEK'EN WAR now have the nerve, the audacity to run against it. The dems and media couldn’t distance themselves fast enough from Kucinich and Gravel and now they are acting as if they alone bore the brunt of fighting this administration all along.
The Iraqi civil war, which the neocons could only lay awake dreaming about at night, has now methodically worked its magic and has given us all the excuses we need for us to stay in Iraq or the excuse we need to expand the war and attack Iran and Syria, or to also have a hand in Lebanon’s and the Gaza violence and instability which we are now partly funding on one side or the other…
