Now this is newsworthy and hopeful…NC Congressman Howard Coble, a Greensboro Republican and close ally of President Bush, says the United States should consider pulling out of war-ravaged Iraq.

Although some of his quotes are indicative of the colorful, brazen and slightly embarrassing characteristics of the South… imagine him saying with a heavy twang “the international terrorist, the tyrant, the snake,” referring to Hussein and not Bush, that is. Regardless, he is making a fuss and he’s on the ‘right’ side so that could be progress.
