This is like about 4 years too late but I’m glad they finally woke up.
The growing doubts among GOP lawmakers about the administration’s Iraq strategy, coupled with the prospect of Democratic wins in next month’s midterm elections, will soon force the Bush administration to abandon its open-ended commitment to the war, according to lawmakers in both parties, foreign policy experts and others involved in policymaking.

WASHINGTON - Awaiting the recommendations of a commission exploring U.S. options in Iraq, the White House on Thursday emphatically ruled out some proposals to end the long and unpopular war.
Presidential spokesman Tony Snow said a suggestion to divide Iraq into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish regions, each with high degrees of autonomy, was a “nonstarter.” Similarly, he said a phased withdrawal of American troops — perhaps by 5 percent every two months — also was a “nonstarter.”
Why the resistance to a triparte division of Iraq? Giving each of these groups their own autonomy would quell the civil war that is raging across the country. Usually with Republicans you only need to ‘follow the money’, so what economic incentives do the Republican ‘war profiteers’ have to block an effort that might result in a pacified Iraq? Could it be that the Republicans simply want to drag this thing out as long as they can so that their good buddies in the war supplies industries can make a few more megabucks ? ? ?

But this war is different. In this war, bullets and bombs are used at least as much to send messages as to kill and maim. And the media are for manipulating. One side makes full use of these changes. American political leaders seem not yet to fully comprehend what they are up against; much less have they begun to respond effectively.-TownHall

WASHINGTON - A federal judge has ordered the Bush administration to release information about who visited Vice President Dick Cheney’s office and personal residence, an order that could spark a late election-season debate over lobbyists’ White House access.
While researching the access lobbyists and others had on the White House, The Washington Post asked in June for two years of White House visitor logs. The Secret Service refused to process the request, which government attorneys called “a fishing expedition into the most sensitive details of the vice presidency.”
Honest men have nothing to hide. The court of King George does nothing but hide everything it possibly can for as long as it possibly can. Draw your own conclusions ! ! !

The libs compare Iraq to Tet, I compare it to Saigon, IF the democrats get elected:
If you want a good Vietnam analogy, look to electoral politics. The 1974 midterm congressional elections demonstrated the power of the left wing of the Democratic party as antiwar congressional candidates swept into power. The Democrats, already in the majority, took 43 Republican seats, some of them in solid GOP districts. One of the last acts of the emboldened 93rd Congress was the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974, which cut aid to South Vietnam and left the Paris peace agreement unenforceable. The House passed the bill after Senate action on December 11, 1974. Exactly one week later, North Vietnamese leaders convened in Hanoi to formulate their final attack plan. By the end of April, 1975, South Vietnam was in its death throes, and the last evacuees were being lifted off the roof of the American Embassy in Saigon.-NationalReview

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Shiite militia run by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr seized total control of the southern Iraqi city of Amarah on Friday in one of the boldest acts of defiance yet by one of the country’s powerful, unofficial armies, witnesses and police said.
Any ground engagement is always about communictions and troop strength. King George has tired to ‘cheap it out’ in both areas and the results that have ensued have been completely predictable. King George’s idea of running this war has been to shop around until he can find an ambitious senior officer to rubber stamp his preconceived notions and to ignore and silence any that might challenge his faulty premises ! ! !

A first-hand account of how much Iraq has deteriorated since we invaded in 2003:
After all, the sort of sectarian bloodshed and ethnic cleansing that are now sweeping through Iraq were virtually unknown back in 2003. That’s an important point. After all, that rage may be deeply rooted in decades-old—and centuries-old—grievances, but it only began to come to the fore in the security vacuum created by American mismanagement after the invasion

PARIS (AFP) - The Iraqi government has told medical authorities not to reveal to the United Nations the true extent of civilian casualties in the country’s conflict, a French newspaper has said.
The latest report said that 3,590 civilians died a violent death in July and 3,009 in August, figures which it said were “unprecedented”.
But the telegram quoted by Le Monde said that on September 21, one day after publication of the report, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki wrote to the health ministry with instructions not to disclose more figures.
No, no, no. Musn’t let the American electorate know what is REALLY going on in Iraq. American voters are like mushrooms to the Republicans and their Iraqi puppet leaders- ‘keep em in the dark, feed em bullshiite’, and maybe they won’t wake up until after election day ! ! !

The Repugnants know they’re really in trouble when (a) they have to resort to blaming the media for their troubles, and (b) many in their own party now view the Dems as being the more conservative party!
“Republicans did a lot to soften up their own base to make it very easy for rank-and-file, conservative-minded voters to say there is not a whole lot of difference between the two parties,” he said. “That has become a cancerous development on the Republican biosystem.” He said even the true believers at his think tank are so fed up with GOP governance that many do not seem overly worried about the consequences of losing the House

They’re all dupes - That’s called lying to trick people into voting for you. And the religious right wonders why the Republican congress never passes any of its must-do legislation about abortion, gays, immigration, or much of anything else. That’s because:
The religious right always threatens to sit out the election, but they never do. The Republicans know the religious right loathes Democrats, and would never really walk no matter how badly they were treated, so, as the saying goes, why buy the (sacred) cow when you get the milk for free?
The second reason the Republicans never really do anything for the religious right is because the religious always settles for “attempts” to pass legislation, rather than the real thing.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Given the U.S. military’s troubled history in Vietnam, generals and their foot soldiers in Iraq may have shuddered after they heard President Bush acknowledge a comparison with today’s Iraq and the Viet Cong’s 1968 Tet Offensive.
In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, the president said a New York Times column by Thomas Friedman might be correct in drawing that analogy.
And here’s what ‘Filthy’ says @ 0851am- “The libs compare Iraq to Tet, I compare it to Saigon, IF the democrats get elected:” As usual when you are listening to a Republican, hold onto your wallet with both hands and be prepared to hear another pack of LIES.

One big reason so many of our troops and Iraqi citizens have been killed this year is because of the inaction of the Iraqi government, mainly Al-Malaki who refuses to pursue his own militia-murderers:
Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, a former Shiite activist, won the top government post last spring thanks in part to the support of al-Sadr, who controls 30 of the 275 seats in the national parliament and five Cabinet posts

The GOP has been caught red-handed engaging in voter suppression
This is the way the Republicans play. They cheat to win. But, they ususally don’t get busted. In addition to the barrage of negative ads, voter suppression is another favored tactic of the GOP. It’s despicable and anyone who does it should be in jail. Republican OR Democrat. Although Democrats tend to value our democracy more than Republicans.
I think the traditional media often dismisses claims of voter suppression as liberal conspiracies. Now, they know otherwise.

They spoke of the national pride felt by the ENTIRE COUNTRY upon seeing the photograph of our soldiers raising the flag on Iowa Jima.
I couldn’t help but wonder how many of our men and women today joined the military inspired by the bravery & pride of past heroes? 500 were lost on the first day of that offensive.

Please notice day one of Pelosi’s plan:
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has unveiled a Democratic “first 100 hours” plan to be enacted once Democrats control the House. In an effort to “drain the [Republican] swamp,” Pelosi would:
Day One: Put new rules in place to “break the link between lobbyists and legislation.”
Day Two: Enact all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Time remaining until 100 hours: Raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step. Cut the interest rate on student loans in half. Allow the government to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.
Broaden the types of stem cell research allowed with federal funds — “I hope with a veto-proof majority,” she added in an Associated Press interview Thursday.
All the days after that: “Pay as you go,” meaning no increasing the deficit, whether the issue is middle class tax relief, health care or some other priority.

CONDI SAVES THE DAY!
Present at the Oval Office were the President, the First Lady, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and, serving the coffee, Tom Snow, who incidentally has trouble distinguishing a caffe latte with a latte, with a cappuccino, with an espresso, with a cortao, etc.
They were ll waiting for Condi. The moment she walked into the office dressed in a seducing Hong Kong silk sheath, a gentle printed silk scarf and the newest sport shoes out of Taipei, the President offered her a chair. The others present, except the First Lady who smiled, remained silent.
The President then picked up the paper with the headlines that announced in bold letters: “SEOUL, South Korea - North Korean leader Kim Jong Il said in Pyongyang that North Korea does not plan to carry out any more nuclear tests and expressed regret about the country’s first-ever atomic detonation last week. When asked about his change of course, he replied that he had received a message from Condoleeza Rice, the US Secretary of State and that had contributed to his change of mind. He further explained that this change was I no way an abandonment of his previous attitude and that North Korea, if warned once more, would “crush U.S. imperialists’ schemes with its self-defensive power. No matter how the U.S. imperialists try to stifle and isolate our republic … victory will be on the side of justice,”
Both the President and the First Lady were quick to congratulate Condi. Like the rest of the country, the news brought a collective sigh of relief. The others in the room remained silent and possibly annoyed, except Tom Snow who was busy trying to raise some froth on a cappuccino.
The First Lady embraced Condi and in a soft voice asked her:
“What did your message say, Condi?”
“Not much. I just asked “Who does your hair?”

Defining terms;
budget deficit:
n : an excess of expenditures over revenues
national debt:
n : the debt of the national government (as distinguished from the debts of individuals and businesses and political subdivisions)
See the budget deficit is the yearly shortfall between the amount taken (taxes etc.) in vs the amount spent. Any budget deficit will increase the national debt. The national debt is currently 8.5 trillion dollars and growing.
For a look at the states that receive the most amount of federal money back for each dollar paid in please click here
Notice how the red states tend to recieve more money than they pay in, the blue states contribute more money to the fed govt and recieve less back. Notable exception to Texas and Washington DC. In general, the Red states are the welfare burden of the people who are funding this country, the blue staters

Moreover, Bush tax cuts have increased revenues to the Federal treasury which have enabled the corresponding reductions in our deficit.

Impeach Chimpy 12:33 - re. right cuts soldiers’ benefits and makes them pay for their own food in hospital -
There’s always “the rest of the story.” If by benefits you’re referring to VA - you may have a point - but a good part of it gets down to “fun with numbers.” Regarding making soldiers pay for their own food: it’s a fundamental principle of law that taxpayers do not pay taxes so government employees can buy each other food, drink or gifts (and yes, there are exceptions). Military personnel are paid “separate rations” to compensate when “subsistence in kind” (read: access to a dining facility) is not available. A soldier lives off post, he gets the cash. He lives off post and eats in the gov’t meal facility, he pays for meals. He lives on post and always eats in the dining facility, he has his separate rations deducted from his pay. So when a soldier for whatever reason has government-provided meals provided, he pays for his own food. If you don’t like it, ask your Congressman to provide free food for government employees (military personnel).

I recall a few weeks back when I explicitly told poster, N-GA that he would receive no direct response from me. Why? Because a young woman, Allaina, whose brother is presently serving in Iraq, expressed her support of her brother’s efforts, as well as her concern for his safety. She also said that she was disappointed in the leftists who repeatedly failed to support the cause which many of our troops believe in.
While the conservatives here and I believe one Democrat, expressed gratitude for her sacrifice, as well as her brother’s, N-GA barged into the conversation telling Allaina that her brother was fighting an unjust war, and didn’t have the intelligence to know that.
Couldn’t allow himself one brief moment to forego his political agenda to offer compassion or gratitude to a young woman and her brother. Pretty despicable in my view.
There are those radicals that need to return to the 60’s and ask their anti-war cohorts exactly why the draft was halted. Poster, N-GA is one of them.

Broaden types of stem cell… - this’ll be controversial. At least some in the debate recognize there are different types of treatments, therapies, etc.
Cut interest rates on student loans - doesn’t go far enough. Are you aware student loans can be refinanced only once - even if rates drop? Lousy history of influence peddling between one particular Congressman and the industry.
Permit drug price competition for Medicare - what took so long here? Rep Billy Tauzin - R-La was driving force behind prohibiting competition (but he’s a conservative Republican!) - then retired and took a job as a multi-million dollar head of a pharmeceutical umbrella group. Dept of Defense has a great model for the rest of the Fed gov’t to copy.

PRICELESS! Replace “Ann Coulter” with “Andy” and you get the idea. Maybe we should call him Anndy :-)
“I don’t believe it,” seethed Ann Coulter.
Her contempt was directed at a September 25 San Francisco Chronicle story reporting that former NFL star and Army Ranger war hero Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan last year, believed the US war on Iraq was “f*ing illegal” (his words) and counted Noam Chomsky among his favorite authors. It must have been quite a moment for Coulter, who upon Tillman’s death described him in her inimitably creepy fashion as “an American original—virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be.” She tried to discredit the story as San Francisco agitprop, but this approach ran into a slight problem: The article’s source was Pat Tillman’s mother, Mary.
Mary and the Tillman family are relentlessly pushing for answers to the questions surrounding Pat’s death in Afghanistan. They want to know why it took the Pentagon five weeks to tell them he died in a tragic case of friendly fire. They want to know why they were unwitting props at Pat’s funeral, weeping while lies were told by eulogizing politicians. Mary is now hoping that a new Pentagon inquiry will bring closure. “There have been so many discrepancies so far that it’s hard to know what to believe,” she said to the Chronicle. “There are too many murky details.”

Quite right: and Kevin Tillman IS a patriot, because he’s pointing out the corrupt traitors who are trying to destroy this country.
I’m proud to have men like him serving our country’s best interests. Of course, if you’re one of the traitors he’s accusing, you may not be as comfortable with his revelations… but whose fault is that, really?

PLP 3:47 - you’re about to open up a can of worms there. There are specific procedures for classifying information as well as criminal penalties for unauthorized release. No where in the statute is “I don’t think it should have been classified so I’m going to release it” given as an exception.
People who scream bloody murder over the identification of a CIA headquarters bureaucrat should scream just as loudly when other classified (don’t infer I think Plame info was classified) information is released.
Just looking for a bit of consistency, independent of the specific topic.

Proud Pinko, you lefties always jump at any hint of suspicion when it’s a republican target. Conservatives always tell you to wait for the evidence, but you don’t. The truth is what you want it to be.
I guess you don’t like it when the tables are turned. Leaking classified information during wartime is treason. Americans won’t tolerate traitors.

Listen to this trollop:
By Brian Curtis October 20, 2006 03:11 PM Sorry, neocons, but you have to accept everything Kevin Tillman says as both true and patriotic. You have no choice. Why? Because of the rules YOU set: anything an active-duty soldier says is sacred. And now you’re stuck with the consequences.
Huh, when did Moron Al Dud become a Conservative?:
Maureen Dowd of the New York Times claims that Sheehan’s “moral authority” on the war is “absolute.” This is obtuse. Sheehan’s diatribes against George Bush — “lying bastard”; “filth-spewer and warmonger”; “biggest terrorist in the world” — have no more moral standing than Joseph Kennedy’s vilification of Franklin Roosevelt. And if Sheehan speaks with absolute moral authority, then so does Diane Ibbotson — and the other mothers who have lost sons in Iraq yet continue to support the mission their sons died for and bitterly oppose Sheehan for discrediting it.
This tosser can’t even keep track of the left’s most cherished positions, they’re so murky. This is your stupid argument, Brian, surprise, surprise.
Conservatives believe that EVERYBODY, including Kevin Tillman, are entitled a right to speak their mind in America.
Your the party of censorship^^ look at what Al Dud is saying.

When anyone comes on this political blog and spouts nonsense, they should be challenged. If a teenager wants to talk about her brother fighting in Iraq (in an illegal and immoral war) and states that he is fighting for our rights, then she needs to be mature enough to handle the truth. Unless of course you think American teenagers should be sheltered from the truth and grow up to be wimps like GWB.
Our American servicemen ARE NOT in Iraq fighting for our rights. They are there because a fascist administration decided to go after Iraq long before 9/11. All they needed was an excuse, and the U.N. (who they hate) gave them an excuse. And all the BS you spout doesn’t change that fact one bit!!!

Many veterans are insulted by the liars:
As was shamefully done previously against decorated veterans like John McCain and Max Cleland, extreme right-wing groups such as the so-called ‘Swift-Boat Veterans for Truth’ are again spreading lies meant to discredit a decorated veteran. A veteran who volunteered for combat, who was brave enough not only to withstand the rigors of battle but then the equally difficult struggle to speak the truth about war’s inevitable dark side: savagery, stupidity, recklessness, maiming, and death. These are the truths of every war — those necessary and those avoidable; those just and those unjust

It is not clear why the voters of 1974 thought it wise or just to indirectly cause the destruction of millions of allies in Southeast Asia because of the cover-up of a minor burglary at the Watergate. They certainly did not know that by their votes they would punish themselves severely, leaving, by the end of the Carter years, a U.S. economy that was a burned-out hulk and a nation that was humiliated.-John O’Neill

I have to disagree with you about the Swift Boat Veterans being like Dan Rather. The fact is that John O’Neill had been on Kerry’s case for 35 years.
The following transcript is taken from ABC’s special June 30, 1971 broadcast of “The Dick Cavett Show,” during which former Navy Lieutenant John Kerry represented Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He was opposed by fellow Navy veteran John O’Neill, representing Vietnam Veterans for a Just Peace.
This has NOTHING in common with the Partisan Dan Rather and the phony forged documents supplied him by nutcase Democrat operative Bill Burkett at the last hours before the election.
The slandering John Kerry wasn’t even a Senator at the time of this debate. He had testified before Congress however - disgracefully.
