[Editor: ignore=off]These cartoon cowards are quivering jello when it comes to waging ineluctable war and even too spooked to a execute a formal capitulation.
You need a writing coach.
Posted by dj moonbat at January 31, 2007 08:59 PMIt's beginning to look like the Congress will not find a spine in time to avert war with Iran. This is a very very dark time. The window for Congress to act is closing rapily.
We elected these people to represent us and they are failing. We are all going to pay for their cowardice. Big time. I am so angry to see a few evil bastards having a field day at our expense. Tunneling ahead unchecked. Bush on his tractor.....my God....he is the worst of the worst. How horrible that we are not stopping him. The children that will die......the families broken forever......our collective heritage of what this country used to mean to all of us......He's ruined it all.

What you say certainly deserves repeating.
The Cheney administration respects nothing but money and power. Legislation they fear looks like this:
Iraq Redeployment Act of 2007
Introduced by Senator Russell D. Feingold (D-WI)
Legislation Would Use Congress's Power of the Purse to Redeploy Most U. S. Troops Out of Iraq in Six Months
http://feingold.senate.gov/~feingold/releases/07/01/20070131iraq.html
This is what we decided three months ago. Any Representative or Senator unable to support this legislation and H. J. Res. 14, Concerning the Use of Military Force Against Iran, can find another job.
Put your Representative and Senators on notice today. Operators are waiting to take your call.

Posted by Judith at February 1, 2007 04:50 AMWere seeing the end stages of the conservative manifesto. And this fiasco in the Middle East is what conservatism appears to have always had as its terminal goal. Conservatives always mouthed fiscal conservation, limited government, and military strength to force our will on others. We never, at anytime, got the first two. In fact, conservatives always bloat both government and the debt. Now they are on their third and most cherished goal. War. And the outcome will likely be the same outcome history shows us is always the outcome of unlimited war. The destruction of the lifestyle of the peoples of the aggressing country. The squandering of the wealth of the people. War and death as a game, or even worse, a religious quest.
We have the most expensive and poor healthcare in the world. Our people are unhealthy, and poorly educated. We are steadily moving backwards in science, and indeed science is to be feared now -or at the least denigrated. Not cherished. Science is now against some vague scripture written thousands of years ago by people who were afraid of solar eclipses. And that scripture is used in the service of the desired terminal outcome. War.
This is not going to end with toothless resolutions. This is not going to end with some odd assertion of control by the Congress. This will only end when Conservatism ends. Conservatism is the root cause of this evil, and it either goes or we, the people, suffer under this tyranny as long as there is an America.
Torture, rape, murder, spying on the citizenry, national databases, psy-ops against us to control us, irrational war, concern for humanity is now traitorous activity...all in our name...all in the service of Conservatism. Conservatism is the problem. And the Mad King, idiot son of George, is its cheerleader. Its court jester. And the court jester has been placed in charge of the nations goals, aspirations, and international relations. I fear we ain't seen nothing yet.

Well said.
Posted by Christopher at February 1, 2007 05:42 AMI wonder what each of these guys thinks their agreement to "protect funding for troops in combat" means?
Does Warner think this means that all requests for funds for the occupation will be approved by Dems or that Levin broke his word? Does Levin think this still allows Dems to use the power of the purse against the occupation in the future without old John and Team Repub crying foul?
Minor points, I guess, to be quickly forgotten in the coming storm. As phidipides says, until "conservatism" is smashed politically, national progress is simply impossible and our only path is national decline.
The Founders of the constitution would puke their guts up if they watched today's "conservative" leaders carry on their manipulative authoritarian antics for a single day. And they likely wouldn't have a very encouraging prognosis.
