onslaught of the jihadis

Should’ve been ‘onslaught by the jihadis’

Little pissed off right now…

The dems are so desperate to talk to our enemies. Didn’t we let the international community try that with iran for 3 years? Didn’t get one iota closer to a less dangerous iran, did we?

You can’t be diplomatic with someone who regards diplomacy as utter weakness.

Patraeus and Crocker are heroes. I’d have been hard-pressed not to leap out across the room and throttle some of the arrogant and insulting inquisitors.

The dems don’t want solutions. They just want out. At any cost. It won’t stop the ongoing onslaught of the jihadis; it won’t increase our standing in the world (quite the opposite) but they don’t care about that.

They are at war with the Bush Administration and no one else. They are our enemies’ greatest allies, in my opinion.

Hey Cankles, Kucinich has already expanded our international diplomacy. He had tea and cookies with Assad, didn’t he?

So we are doing it Hill, it’s just that your team does it illegally, unannounced, and in defiance of our constitutional laws.

Graham was hilarious. He might be for shamnesty but he put the war into black and white with that series of questions.
Good wins or bad wins. Choose.

As I listen to Pelosi and Reid hold their temper tantrum press conference, I am reminded of the quote below and it’s prophetic accuracy:

Congressman Clyburn:

“Good news in Iraq will be bad for the Democrats.”

I loved Pelosi’s snark about “a great objective question from the media, I won’t ask your affiliation.”

I don’t know where she got that 10 year commitment either. Petraeus was pressed about how long we would be there today and he did not answer. There is no answer. That’s how the dem pretzel illogic creates these conundrums.

Pelosi…..’The general has put forth a ten year committment to Iraq’…….Please point me to that statement by Patraeus.

Reid…….’The Bush War’

Harry Reid..repeating the lie that we have been in Iraq for six years….No the war on terror is going on six years. Maybe Reid does understand that Iraq is part of the war on terror, he just wants to surrender/have Bush loose so that the republicans will loose in 08.

Dodd’s giving speech on CSPAN ….

“I didn’t hear anything new here today.”

“I’m not going to approve any more military funding”

“You can start removing 2-1/2 brigades a month.”

“How can it get much worse over there.”

“Clearly something needs to be done.”

“Happy talk about statistics doesn’t accomplish anything.”

“People are getting tired of hearing things are improving.”

Yeh, we don’t want to hear about any good news.

What a tool.

I challenge you to think about what would follow. Both an optimistic potential with success, and the results of withdrawal.

I doubt you will give it any serious thought.

Agrippa2k on September 11, 2007 at 2:06 PM

Friend Agrippa2k, you misunderstand me. If you’ve ever read any of my posts since the inception of HA, you’d know that I was throwing down the gauntlet to biden, not agreeing with him in any way, shape, or form.

I was pointing out his, and the other dem’s cowardice for mouthing the words rather than actually putting action behind them, which they know that the majority of Americans (including me) won’t accept or approve (the lying polls be damned).

I fully realize the catastrophe it would be for us to actually pull out of Iraq and the ME precipitously. I don’t think we should be pulling out at all. IMHO we should be building bases in Iraq in preparation for the inevitable conflict to come with iran and syria.

Just wanted to clear that up.

Ah, Leiberman.

The Democrat’s Hagel.

Nope, remember:

Hagel is a principled man, bravely espousing common truths that the evil Rethugs abhor.

Liberman is a traitor, nothing more.
