OT House Passes Bill Requiring Troop Withdrawal Within 120 Days of Enactment

They are wasting our time.

Ten Democrat leaders sided with the Republicans. Four Republicans sided with the democrats. It was a narrow win for the dimmies and it seems the dims are losing ground. This will go down as the congress of do-nothings.

GWB will of course veto this rubbish.

For once the idiotic Dim controlled Senate should vote this crap down.

This is what you get with the kook controlled Congress!

I doubt it. The spoiled brats who are in desperate need of their overloaded diapers beign changed have always been able to overthrow reason with temper tantrums. No reason to think otherwise now that the traitors are in control.

It almost makes you sick to tune in and listen to the traitors in Congress these days.

My signature takes on more and more value as time goes on!

They are playing to their lefty kook base. They vote for all the goofy things like that so they can say we tried, knowing the goofy stuff will never pass the Senate. Americans know we can not run from our fight with all of the radial Islamic nut cases, are we will need to fight them here eventually. The Brits are beginning to wise up to what Tony Blair knew and so are many of the other countries around the world

The new prime, what's his name, Brown I think, stated that he will not allow their way of life to be changed by the islamists. I hope it's not to late for them.

No, they're not. They're forcing the president to talk about what's happening in Iraq, more often than he'd like to. They don't really care whether any bill they run of the flagpole is vetoed or not. It doesn't matter. The more he talks, the more it becomes obvious that he's disconnected from the facts about what's happening there.

And they (democrats) are prolonging the war.

That's debatable. But, anything the democrats do to force republicans to show their hand is useful right now. The more the president talks, the more info the voters have for comparing his faith to what they see in the news. As he appears more disconnected, republican senators become uncomfortable being aligned with him. If they want to be reelected, they MUST distance themselves from Bush.

He's not, but that's what he was told to say, so he says it.

The news media is so slanted. The people can't get even handed reporting.

Distance themselves from a president who is in his last term is nothing new.

If you read enough different news sources, you most certainly CAN gather enough information. Remember when certain sources were full of happy sunshine stories about soldiers building schools and libraries? Even those sources (Washington Times, for instance) don't discuss the silly stuff any more.

It gets worse and worse. I'm posting an excerpt with the source URL:

Speaking through an American interpreter, Lieutenant David Wallach who is a native Arabic speaker, the Iraqi official related how al Qaeda united these gangs who then became absorbed into ?al Qaeda.? They recruited boys born during the years 1991, 92 and 93 who were each given weapons, including pistols, a bicycle and a phone (with phone cards paid) and a salary of $100 per month, all courtesy of al Qaeda. These boys were used for kidnapping, torturing and murdering people. At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man?s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, ?What did he say?? Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family.

Only by approving GW Bush's defense spending.

Why had the Republicans been prolonging the war for the 3 1/2 years before that?

Let's see, the Republicans have appointed about 66% of the Federal Court Justices, the Republicans control 100% of the Executive branch and the Republicans control about 40% of Congress. In other words, across the 3 branches of government, we're looking at (66+40+100)/3 = 68% Republican control, so if the "traitors" are in control, that would be the Republicans in general and the Bush Administration in particular are traitors.

Well, it's not a charge I've ever made but I'm not going to argue with it.

Sure, the Decider is used to getting his way. It's funny, of course, because he hasn't had to work with Congress prior to this and the result has been no progress on most of his announced initiatives. Immigration policy? Dead. Social Security reform? Didn't get started. Medicare reform? Didn't get started. Balanced budget? Hah! Through 2006, it was pork all around for DeLay's and Hastert's buddies.

Clinton showed a much greater willingness to work with Congress, even a Republican one, and more good got done on his watch and far fewer stupid things passed. That's why you Rightards hate him so; he was effective - something your Christo-Fascist ideologues are not.
