Thus, not accomplishing passage of something that would have accomplished nothing. Your tax dollars at work…….

the Dems called for it. The ISG called for it. The Dems called for implementation of the ISG. So when Bush finally committs more troops, which is what we need, the Democrats are agaisnt it. That is a real funny way to support your troops and their mission. Treasonists.

What the Sam Hill are you talking about? It is the liberal agendas that are restricting the troops from doing their jobs: making us honor Geneva Conventions even though our enemy refuses so (and according to Geneva if our enemy doesn’t honor the rules we don’t have to either), giving us ROE’s more strict than a U.S. city cop, etc… I can tell by your tone that you are not military. Well my friend, I am, almost 9 years. And I assure it is not conservative agendas making this war harder to fight.

Who was NOT prosecuted for leaking the NSA witetaps (NOT domestic spying)? Who was NOT prosecuted for revealing that we were listening to Bin Laden’s satellite phone? Who was NOT prosecuted for leaking that we were using “borderline” interrogating tactics that was producing positive results and preventing future attacks around the world?

Answer: Not GW Bush or other Conservatives. Dee-de dee!

Who is being prosecuted for not having a good memory, just like the prosecutions’ witnesses, for revealing the ID of an un-undercover CIA agent (who was not undercover in the past 5 years) even though someone already fessed up, including her husband? Dee-de-Dee!

The blocked Senate anti-surge resolution “was the first baby step in Murtha’s slow bleed strategy, and it failed,” says Allahpundit, but he doesn’t think the Dems are so upset since they actually “don’t want to do anything about the surge,……

Is it humanly possible for any group of alleged professionals …

… to be any more incompetent, craven, and blockheaded than today’s congressional Pubbies?

Lisa Condo asks: “why not allow the loony, traitorous, leftist demonrats … and the snivelling RINOs … to publicly vote … on the record … against it?”

Because passage of the measure, even “non-binding” is GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY, the ones we are fighthing. It emboldens them to hang in. It tells them, that if they only hold on, AMERICA will fold.

Lisa also asks: “What better means can we have of defeating all of those cretins in 2008?”

My son is a US Marine. Is he, his fellow marines, and every soldier serving today, going to have to go in harm’s way and continue fighting an enboldened enemy OVER THERE (rather than over here) just so some RINO Republicans can save their asses in 2008?

You misread my post.

My goal is to defeat the RINOs as well as the demonrats. They’re included in “all those cretins.”

Passage of the resolution in the Senate … will not embolden the enemy any more than near-passage of it already has … especially since the same resolution already passed in the House.

Let’s let the traitors identify themselves beyond a shadow of a doubt … and then move in for the kill.

I hope you feel better about my post now … your family’s contribution to our freedom and safety is very much appreciated.

but panders to them anyway.

I disagree. Why follow us home?

Billy,

I agree with most of what you have said, but I have to challenge you on this statement. I picked your remark only because I think it illustrates how complacency sneaks into the mind set of the most dedicated patriots.

On 9/11 they followed us home. They declared war on us, and our defeat in this war will not be an agreement to a cease-fire with the terrorists. Americans (even the traitorous liberals) will not disavow all the ideals that make this country what it is. It is exactly those ideals that the terrorists hate and want to destroy.

That all I wanted to say to you specifically. Thanks.

Now, my rant….

We could pull out of Iraq and save some lives, but they will still be at war with us. We can sit in our castle while they hurl stones against the gate and hope for what? That they’ll get tired and go home? Or will the cowards within our walls open the gate for them? Or will we be lulled into complacency and welcome the Trojan Horse in?

WE ARE AT WAR. But this war is not over land just yet, it’s over ideologies. And ALL WARS have to be fought and have to be won. Our enemy is relatively small and they are able to fight us in unconventional ways that makes it very hard to make progress the way we are used to making it. We are used to fighting large standing armies over huge stretches of land. Well, our enemies are not that big….YET. Make no mistake, they WANT to be a huge force to be reckoned with, and right now, we are standing in the way. If we leave Iraq, THEY WILL get the foothold they are seeking and threatening the entire middle east. Then instead of losing 3000 soldiers over the course of 4 years, we will lose 300,000 like we did during WWII.

Liberals are liberals and they look at extremists with the same arrogance as they do everyone else that is not as enlightened as they are. They think that touchy feely policies will enlighten the poor ignorant masses just like they think that the neanderthal conservatives just need to be enlightened. They do not recognized the threat for what it is. It is an old school mentality from the dark ages that understands brutality and how effective it is against liberal thinking.

The liberals would prefer to fight a traditional war because they refuse to learn from past mistakes. Conservatives are fighting this war the way we are BECAUSE we have learned the lessons of the past. We don’t want extremists to gather in strength like we did just before WWII because the loss of life is exponentially greater. Just like Hitler slaughtering millions in concentration camps, the genocide in Iraq wont stop if we quit and it wont stop if we fight on, it will only stop when we crush those who subscribe to the extremist ideals.

To sum it all up in one statement…..

Nothing will champion the ideals of extremism against civilization and swell the ranks of the terrorists, like losing the war in Iraq will. Nothing.

So, lawrence, it’s better to have the Demos doing nothing in Congress rather than having the Repubs doing nothing in Congress? Maybe? I dunno………..

Janos Hunyadi on February 17, 2007 at 11:09 PM

Not exactly. But the track record of the Repbulicans lately hasn’t been that great the last couple years either.

Is it better to have the Dems not doing anything stupid, or not having the GOP doing something a little less stupid. As long as neither are doing anything, then nothing stupid gets done.

But, then, nothing good is getting done either.

Because passage of the measure, even “non-binding” is GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY, the ones we are fighthing. It emboldens them to hang in. It tells them, that if they only hold on, AMERICA will fold.

Right on the money! The conservatives are not voting politically, they are voting to protect our troops and this country. The liberals are playing politics with the troops lives and the security of this country.

I am ashamed of the american people who have been fooled by the lefts lying about the war in Iraq, and support pulling out before the mission is accomplished. I am disgusted that the conservatives have allowed the left to couch this war in their own terms. I am maddened at the traitorous liberals who put their political aspirations above the safety of this country and the lives of our troops.

THAT is why I will be at the Vietnam Veterans Mermorial in Washington D.C. on March 17th.

Dear Senator Smith:

I’ve voted for you every time you’ve been on the ballot, but your choice to side with defeatists and vote for the Democrats’ political stunt is an embarassment to the party and an embarassment to yourself as an American. You should be ashamed. Every Republican that I know thinks you are a joke who is going to be done for in the next election. Your votes on immigration and now this terrorist-encouraging resolution have completely ruined your political future. I hope your pandering was worth it. I hope the friendly editorialis from local papers was worth it.

Sad day for you, Senator Smith. Sad, sad day for all of us. We’re just lucky there aren’t many more spineless jerks in the party like you.

Sorry, just some facts…….. this

And more facts,\………. http://www.ccc.nps.navy.mil/si/2005/jan/comrasJan05.pdf

and you can finish with this

billy on February 18, 2007 at 3:04 AM

, if I am wrong on ANY point, I encourage you to never let me forget it, OK?

Sleep tight…….

I didn’t want an answer, I just wanted you to think about it, and to the men and women who protect our country, and to the fear that when they come home, bad guys from home and abroad, might kill them in their sleep. Also know as “Sleeper Cells”…..

Oh, but you knew that…… sorry.

And no, sorry again….

“The Congress of the United States has done something today that no other Congress in American history has done.”

It didn’t quite clear the Senate did it, but you forget the Democrat actions in Congress at the end of the Viet Nam war, and the resulting Millions of murders that followed, oh, but that is just nuance ……….

Keep up with your studies, “billy”, I will always be glad to assist you……….

billy on February 18, 2007 at 3:04 AM

“billy” you answered my question in exactly the way I thought you would……. straight to the point.

“Sold out?” Yeah, you explained that, thoroughly…

Son, or Daughter, please understand, in this communication between us, you put out a point of view, others, like me, respond.

The point is, my question was rhetorical, you din’t like it……. so you responded. We can do that.

But what is happening in Congress, the majority of the troops don’t like, yet they can not respond. “UCMJ”

Billy, let me ask you this……… if you have been spending the major part of a year, away from your family, in the military because you Volunteered to something that you believed in, you have endured multiple hardships, you have gotten to know many local civilians in the battle field, you have a sense of victory, and then you find out, for political reasons only, your means to achieve victory are going to be denied to you……..

And……… if this happens, the enemy on the verge of defeat, gets a strong hold after you are forced to leave by these politicians, you have to come back in ten years because we have bombs exploding all over the world……. what responsibility will you take?

Your blog, “billy:….

Let you post this……. “Where do you live?”

PinkyBigglesworth on February 18, 2007 at 2:32 AM

Let you post this……. “Where do you live?”

PinkyBigglesworth on February 18, 2007 at 2:32 AM

When you have been threatened by a Pinkybigglesworth you must respond.
Mrs. Pinkeybigglestworryth have I offended you in some way?

Apparently I have, for you wrote:

don’t know if you are just a fool, an idiot, or a collaborator….

Mrs. Biggleworth,
Do you mind if I point something out?
The U.S Congress, both parties, have sold out 140,000 American soldiers, including georgej’s son.
They have sold out us, thet is, those of us who hope for a better future for our country.
You don’t get it do you? The Congress of the United States has done something today that no other Congress in American history has done.
And you’re mad at me.
Who’s the fool?
Really now, who is the fool?
I don’t represent you in Congress.

The result of the Democrat’s action is predictable, should the Democrats prevail: Al Qaeda will fight even harder as a result. They WILL follow us home and strike us here. Rather than remain on the ropes in Iraq (where THEY CHOSE TO FIGHT US), they will survive and strike us here in our home.

I disagree. Why follow us home? Just leave sleeping dogs lie, an engaged America would be a threat. If al Quaeda does not attack America directly, we won’t respond. We’ll just slip into complacency, worrying about poor Britney’s hair.

billy on February 18, 2007 at 1:43 AM

I don’t know if you are just a fool, an idiot, or a collaborator….

Your really do not have any idea of what is going on, do you? I hope you don’t for making a statement like that, you are in for a very big wake up call one day..

I will give you this chance,

billy on February 18, 2007 at 1:43 AM

If you really think that

Why follow us home? Just leave sleeping dogs lie,

…..

Let you post this……. “Where do you live?”
