Meet the Press Smackdown!

Russert usually has tighter control over his panelists, but thankfully, yesterday morning, he let men be men and duke this one out.

I watched it on the television and had been waiting for someone to cut it to Youtube.

Basically, Sens. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and James Webb (D-VA) wrapped up their appearance together talking about what the future holds for Iraq.

Tempers boiled over when Graham used re-enlistement rates as a proxy for military support for the action and justification for continuing  the surge.  "Let them win!" became his mantra.  This set fellow military veteran Webb over the edge (and rightfully so, in this civilian's opinion).
