The threat hath been levied:President Bush would veto the new Iraq spending bill being developed
by House Democrats because it includes unacceptable language
restricting funding, White House press secretary Tony Snow said
Wednesday……

This is definitely NOT Sparta.

More’s the pity.

Expect a go-for-broke uptick in attacks in August, in other words.

Damnit. THIS is why broadcasting ANY kind of date just plays directly into the hands of the jihadists. Of course there’s going to be carnage like we’ve never seen before in late August and September. The jihadists now know the date certain and will be planning for it.

The people making these decisions and advocating these dates are directly responsible for the deaths of the civilians, our Troops, and our Iraqi Allies that are definitely going to happen. Our enemies listen to what our idiots say and watch what they do.

History will remember this period for the U.S. leadership as one of the weakest ever.

This is foolishness writ large. This is madness.

what do you do when everyone deserves to lose?

Heh. Good question Slub. If the 06′ election is any indicator, Republicans stay home.

Here’s a novel idea. Instead of Congress voting on a timetable, let’s let the troops on the ground vote on what they want to do. As long as we can keep Gore away from the military ballots, they’ll all be counted.

Little matter, with the voting rights of (pro-Democrat) felons being restored in Florida.

I predict Mr. Coleman will lose the next election, to a complete moron; the moron will not win – Mr. Coleman will lose.

Before the expected onslaught of “traitor” “defeatist” labels start getting thrown I will note that I disagree with the tactics congress is using but believe that something needed to be done to increase the pressure. If I knew the easy answer for what that “something” might be I’d be the 11th pasty faced white guy on the podium at the recent debates.

Expect a go-for-broke uptick in attacks in August, in other words.

Precisely. What’s amazing is that the defeatists, with their wet dreams of “George Bush’s Vietnam” are, wittingly or unwittingly, making that into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The August “go for broke” terrorist wave will be just like Tet in ‘68: it won’t accomplish anything militarily, but it’ll surely give the defeatists cause for ostentatious breast-beating and squeals for retreat.

What’s disgusting is that there are enough gutless-wonder Republicans who think that by acting like donks and peeing their pants when it comes to doing what’s necessary to win a war, they can save themselves in 2008. Wrong-O … take Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, for example. A RINO in the true sense of the term; I suspect that I won’t be the only Republican to (1) vote against him in the party primary, and (2) in the unfortunate event he should win the primary, won’t vote for him in the general.

And if Smith and his fellow “cut-n-run” RINOs think that in 2008 donk and leaning-donk voters will go for a “fake” donk when they can vote for the real thing … well, reality is going to come as a rude shock, I’m afraid.

There’s two-for-the-price-of-one irony for you: by acting like cowards donks in a craven attempt to save themselves, weak-kneed RINOs will only assure their own and their country’s humiliating defeat.

Can you imagine Pelosi and Reid drafting a battle plan?

BacaDog on May 8, 2007 at 3:36 PM

Yeah, their plan is to draft @l-queda and mookie’s JAM into the US army, guaranteeing they’ll get their orders from the horses mouth and not the other end.

Can you imagine Pelosi and Reid drafting a battle plan?

That is not their job. They are to support the mission and leave the details to the armed forces with oversight.

Problem is they would never support a mission in America’s best interest.

Somebody already has …

The only front they have any serious success on is the media front. Propaganda victories are what they are all about, and will work to whatever ends that may gaurantee a US withdrawl. If they can not expend any blood or treasure to do so, then that’s what they’ll do.

It’s partially the reason there have been no coordinated major attacks on the continent.

Those over-riding him would take ownership of the war…

drjohn on May 8, 2007 at 3:29 PM

If by ownership you mean funding or defunding the war effort, then fine. That’s what Congress has the authority to do.

If it means Congress overstepping their authority by subverting the Presidents Constitutionally granted command of the armed forces, then that is a disaster.

Can you imagine Pelosi and Reid drafting a battle plan?

Those over-riding him would take ownership of the war but it would be an economic disaster worldwide.

Having said that, I don’t believe that they actually would pull all the troops from Iraq.

In fact, I bet things would remain pretty much the same.

Goebels was right…

I heard somebody recently say, “why is that as our problems have grown bigger our politicians have grown smaller?”

The Treason Party (the Democrats) have, indeed, undermined the entire war effort. They started sabotaging the war in late 2003. It was been willful, with malice aforethought, for purely partisan political advantage.

The treason rot has, according to this article, affected some Republican RINOs in the Senate, more concerned with their own political fortunes than with the security of the nation as a whole.

Well, I’m sorry. These Republicans, like their fellow traitor-Democrats, took an OATH to uphold and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, domestic and foreign. It means that sometimes you have to look beyond the next election when the safety of the nation is at stake. And it means elected officials are expected to carry out their oath even if it costs them their jobs — that’s what being ELECTED means in a Republic.

Yes, Al Qaeda will step up their attacks in August, September and October. They watch CNN and C-Span.

Yes, sooner or later the traitors of the Donkey Party and their leftwing, America-hating, Bush-hating, master (George Soros) and his minions at Moveon, and the MSM will get their way. And America will surrender in Iraq.

I just hope that when we lose an American city to an AQ nuke, we can hang these traitors before they can escape to Canada….

Pathetic…
