So much for consulting Congress.

So much for consulting Congress.

“President Bush’s speech may be scheduled for tonight, but the troop surge in Iraq is already under way. ABC News has learned that the ’surge’ Bush is expected to announce in a prime time speech tonight has already begun. Ninety advance troops from the 82nd Airborne Division arrived in Baghdad today. An additional battalion of roughly 800 troops from the same division are expected to arrive in Baghdad Thursday.”

    Don’t you damn liberals know the Constitution begins at Article 2?

    There once was a goof named George
    on blood and death he would gorge,
    He knew not him limits
    and was quite a dimwit
    To think an Iraq he could forge.


  3. SKdeA says:

    Well, fine, then they can send back some of the poor guys who were stop-lossed!


  4. ForTruth says:

    I know some people who are gonna be pissed…


  5. Zoo says:

    Same f*cking thing he did when we went into Iraq. Rotten bastard. He needs to be gone. How many lives will this cost?


  6. Hardy Haberman says:

    A dictator waits for no man. Bush is the “Unitary Executive” and he needs no approval. At least that is what he thinks. Time to send him and impeachment wake-up call!


  7. Uncle_Ho says:

    Take to the streets and demand an end to the war now!

    Join the march on Washington D.C. on the 27th contact http://www.unitedforpeace.org. call (212)868-5545

    If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. I do not want to see another wall with thousands and thousands of more names of the dead like the Vietnam Memorial.


  8. ForTruth says:

    How many kicks in the stomach will it take for Congress to rein this guy in?


  9. AshenShard says:

    i wish the Dems would grow a pair and do the right thing and cut the funding and say it was to bring the troops home and out of harms way where the President and anyone who wants to keep funding the war want to leave the troops, rather than doing what seems to be politically safe.


  10. RUCerious says:

    #4 – I see one right now, and I’m lookin in the mirror…

    F*ck that. How many stomps to the head?


  12. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Zoo,

    Got to throw in a few kicks to the nuts for good measure. Won’t matter one way or the other to the guy laying around with his head kicked in, but I’m sure it would make you feel better. :-)


  13. bs says:

    the soldiers are flying over to iraq i believe 500 as georgy porgy spews shiiiiite tonight.


  14. VerbalKint says:

    Unless Congress impeaches Bush and does it quickly, we are going to war with Iran.

    Ok, I will.

    But it will not make me feel better. I’m so damned pissed off!!


  16. RUCerious says:

    Ya know, this got me thinkin.
    I should go up to my boss and tell him I’m not gonna do the work he assigns me any more, just the crap I feel, in my heart, that god tells me to do.
    He can’t fire me, cause I wasn’t elected either.

    Are the Dems all over the television news raising hell about this?


  18. War4Sale says:

    The only difference between a “Decider” and a Dictator is three consonants and one vowel.

    If our founding fathers were alive today, they’d be hanging King George and his criminal accomplices in the public square right now.

    Start today!!!


  21. IraqVet says:

    It’s time to take him down!!! I understand that the DEMS are wary that IMPEACHMENT may not be the best course, but ANYTHING short of that is a FAILURE!!!

    BUSH/CHENEY, you have the right to remain silent…

    As they are taken away in shame!


  22. Nancy says:

    Bush doesn’t want to resolve Iraq. He’s already said, it will still be there for the next president to deal with. I think he just wants to leave it like it is, forget about it and go onto a new war. It’s like, if I can’t win this one, then let’s try another one, like Iran. Daddy and Barbara must be so proud!


  23. richb says:

    Democrats are holding ’symbolic votes’ ‘for the record’ on the troop deployments.

    not acceptable, if you believe what you’ve been saying, what you campaigned on and say at every opportunity, vote on and make the vote matter not just a ’symbol’, we did not elect symbols.


  24. powkat says:

    NOW can we impeach the son of a bush, please?!?!?


  25. Kevin Good says:

    So much for consulting Congress.
    So much for consulting the Baker Commission.

    I am the decider!

  30. johnny says:

    Has it dawned on you yet that the American People have absolutely no say in anything whatsoever?

    THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO!

    YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED INTO THINKING YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A SAY IN WHAT THE AMERICAN GOVT. DOES.

    Educate yourselves, people.

    Read The Naked Capitalist.

    It’s too late to stop them (NWO). Again, there’s nothing we can do.


  31. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    #22, Nancy,

    You’re right. He does not want the war to end, because that would put an end to his “war time” powers. All this stuff he’s been doing with signing statements has been to increase the power of the executive branch during time of war. So as long as he can keep us at war, he can claim these powers. (For a “poetic” take on this, see my blog.)

    Now I’m going home. Good night all.

    Iraq PM tells Shiite militias to give up

    “Prime Minister al-Maliki has told everyone that there will be no escape from attack,” a senior Shiite legislator and close al-Maliki adviser said. “The government has told the Sadrists: ‘If we want to build a state we have no other choice but to attack armed groups.’”

    Bush Iraq War Escalation Speech Drinking Game

    should be a hoot to see some of the comments as the game progresses… it’s only a 20 minute speech though…

    might as well get numb for a while… only way i could do it…
    i won’t be watching… will have the volume up just enough…

  38. RUCerious says:

    katy, Steph Miller had a good one this morning, lots of creative suggestions.
    Most involved taking a swig for each lie, a gulp for each repeated lie, a chug for each false allegory.
    If I wasn’t teaching class tonight, I’d be dead drunk after the first paragraph.


  39. RUCerious says:

    If he says “God Bless” anything but just “America” at the end of the speech – drink once
    No, throw your drink on the person next to you.
    If you’re drinking alone, shame on you, dump the drink over your head.


  40. Tuber says:

    #30-Little Johnny,

    You are falling in to the trap of the oppressor by resigning to the fate of “I have no power over my life”.

    The opposite is in fact true. Your voice does matter. Your vote does count. And, most importantly, you do make a difference. Anyone who tells you differently is either a coward or trying to oppress you.


  41. WC says:

    Yeah, but to America it’s technically “tomorrow” in Baghdad, which to Bush means the surge is occurring “after” his speech.


  42. Zoo says:

    s,

    That’s it exactly! That’s what GWB has been doing to this country since his first hint of power. I’d like to break off that finger.


  43. trueblue says:

    Get’er done…


  47. fed up with it all says:

    I hate it when people use “you’re either for us or against us,” or “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” That is a bunch of crap. That would mean that since you are not a part of my financial solution, then you are a part of my problem. Ya know what, then I will just become part of your problem!

    It reminds me of the Marine crap, “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” What a bunch of crap.

    stop it with these ‘neat” sayings. Some of us don’t think your way is always the best. Just because I don’t go to Washington DC to march does NOT mean that I don’t care, or that I have become part of the problem. It means that I have neither the financial means or ways to make it. And I have a job to go to so that I can feed my family. Don’t make crass judgements or you will find more people getting off your bandwagon.


  48. liberal press says:

    #44…By all means, come and get ‘em, smoke ‘em out, dead or alive.

    BTW, what the hell is a splooty pop?

    Yep. This is the only thing he could do.

    A. Couldn’t bring them home. That would be cutting and running because, well, that’s a Democratic idea and we just can’t have that.

    B. Couldn’t leave troop levels as-is. Given enough time, even a majority of Repubs would be demanding he do something.

    C. What’s left? Increase troop levels.

    How long did it take him to make a decision? 4 weeks? Bull. Nothing but smoke and mirrors. According to Richard Clark and Paul O’Neill, it took him less time to start planning to invade Iraq after 9/11/01. What…almost a day?

    I TOLD YOU SO !!!

    You all have the look on your faces as if you have had a premature ejaculation .

    Or for the women here a * fake * orgasm .

    Bush does what he wants to do and when he wants to do it .
    He does not need you or congress to do shit .

    He is a * unitary power * President .
    He is your President .
    Like him or not .
    If you are a citizen he is it .

    Personally I love and worship the man .
    So do my kids .
    They know he is keeping big bad muslims from killing them .

    Bless their little hearts .

    Thank you George Bush for caring enough about my kids and me to go out on a limb for us .

    Something Bill Clinton refused to do for us at all .

    He was too busy defiling the WH getting BJs when he should have been killing muslims .

  56. Clyde the Ripper says:

    The handwriting is on the wall. In 2004 the major theme was we cannot change Presidents in the middle of a war. Within months bushco will launch another disastrous preemptive strike. This time against Iran. The logic being that in 2008 DUHbya can issue another signing statement to a bill as innocent as the accolades to President Ford that will make him President (King, Dictator, Emperor, Potentate, et al ad nauseum) for the duration plus six months. An attack on Iran will absolutely guarantee the first use of a nuclear device since Harry authorized it. This time the odds are the US or an ally will be the droppee and not the dropper. The only way to ensure the scenario never occurs is to remove him BEFORE he can start the war. He won’t be stopped short of impeachment. The man is insane!

  57. s says:

    Dear rachel b,
    We, the American people are so WAY past getting worked up over your dishonest little attempts at distract and divert. Most people are getting serious now and have more important things to do than foam at the mouth over stupidity such as yours…….move aside. Our country will not survive because of the likes of you…..it will be because of true Americans


  58. veritas says:

    what a farce! Can one expect anything more from an administration of smoke and mirrors? Why even bother to blather up a bunch of tomfoolery on national television when clearly only 26% of americans will even tune in to watch such chicanery? More smoke & mirrors….more parlor tricks (and not even good ones) More lies & deceptions…..it’s time for americans to stand up to this regime of corruption and flagrant disregard for our constitution. IMPEACH this sorry one now before he manages to mangle this country of ours even more. He’s done enough damage to last a lifetime at this point. We cannot continue to enable Emperor Bush any longer or we become complicit ourselves when future generations look at the history books and think we were a bunch of bungling idiots ourselves to allow such flagrant presidential usurpation! IMPEACHMENT SHOULD BEGIN TODAY!

    Clyde’s right…impeachment is our only hope to bring a modicum of sanity back to our government. This man needs psychiatric intervention and needs it quickly. Impeachment is THE ONLY SOLUTION left for this country. Never mind what needs to be done in Iraq – Let’s fix Bush’s “mess” in our own country! Press for impeachment – it’s the last “hope” for the resurrection of the United States.


  61. rachel b says:

  63. mighty aphrodite says:

    I heard Speakette Pelosi whining about “not being consulted by the President.” I think he was a good sport to let the top Dems know what he was going to say BEFORE the speech. This way, they can practice whining AND the “appropriate” constipated looks several times before they are called on to refute the Presidents proposal.


  64. Hector Garcia says:

    Rachel in my country abortion is legal to protect parents against giving birth radical lobotomized idiots like you.

    #61 and 62: The big difference is, this time, hanging him in the public square is only the beginning of what we all SHOULD do. Have you been sleeping the last 4 years? Read some news! Better yet, to get some real information, read a couple blogs.


  68. trueblue says:

    You are right, s,
    The last post just proved that rachel is here to distract us.
    Like they hung Clinton,..Puh-Leez!

    I will ignore the troll henceforth.

    Clyde,

    I’ve had the same fears re: nuclear war.

    As you have made so clear, we need to do something.
    But calling / writing Congress doesn’t seem to be effective anymore.

    What, short of anarchy, can we do?


  69. s says:

    Remember, the desperate wingnuts have to plant their reps the left’s blogs. Rachel b is the best they can do….! Be of good cheer. Things are lookin up.

    As for Bush, the people are about to put him in his place. I can feel it. And it feels good.

    Or how about Hal Turner? “ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO INTRODUCES, CO-SPONSORS OR VOTES IN FAVOR OF ANY SUCH AMNESTY WILL BE DECLARED A DOMESTIC ENEMY AND WILL BE CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE TARGET FOR ASSASSINATION,” Turner posted on his website.

    At least I’m in good company: “This morning on Fox News, anchor Gretchen Carlson called Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) a “hostile enemy” of the United States because he has demanded that Congress vote on whether to approve funding for escalation in Iraq.”

    But I have yet to be put on the no-fly list, whereas Kennedy was on the list as a suspected “terrorist.”

    “Kennedy says he had to enlist the help of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge to get his name stricken from the list. The process took several weeks, in all.

    That’s our Government inaction.

    God, just reading your posts make my brain bleed.

    I ALONG WITH OTHERS HERE DEMAND THIS PERSONS REMOVAL AND BANISHMENT FOR LIFE FROM THIS SITE

    I call bullshit. List these ‘others’.

    YOU DO NOT THREATEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

    Impeachment

    War Crimes

    Here is an even funnier story

    It is about a woman who raised an autistic child

    It was the * quietest * child rearing you ever witnessed

    The child never complained … bwahahahaa

    Never whimpered … bwahahahah

    Never argued about finishing supper … bwahahahaha

    Always did what it was told without complaining … bwahahaha

    This is still America, Herr rachel. It’s barely recognizable, but it’s still the land of the (somewhat) free. If you don’t like free speech, why don’t you just move to Afganistan and get fitted for your burka? After all, they ‘hate our freedom’, right?

    And if the Iran war starts, and your under the age of 42,male or female, you, and your precious children may get your chance to see war up close. But don’t worry everybody has to die, right?

  115. Briseadh na Faire says:

    Back to the topic of the thread.

    I thought Bush wanted bipartisanship. I thought the Republicans remaining in Congress wanted bipartisanship.

    Where’s the bipartisanship in escalating the War without going to Congress for the funding necessary to send and maintain more troops in a combat zone?

    Bush is again acting more like a Dictator than a President.

    And remember, there’s trillions of dollars worth of oil contracts lasting 30 years hanging in the balance. If Bush loses his puppet government in Iraq, the oil companies lose their contracts. So look for a 30 year engagement in Iraq.

    Jesus called himself the morning star Rachel.
    Do you understand that he was referring to mercury and venus? Is not that really only but merry loopy orbits?

    You speak much of Jesus, but you certainly do not even understand your own religion, nor what he was saying.
    Armageddon is right around the corner, and you will not pass unto the next level with the amount of hatred you have in your heart for your fellow American. My father, my stepfather, my grandfather, my uncel, my brother, my brother in law, my neighbor, my friends, from WWII to Vietnam, to the Gulf wars, even I have worked for the military, thus kept our military jets flying, to keep you safe, and to allow you to speak freely. I am a Godly man, others here may not be, that it their choice, America is great because it is the secular melting pot of the world, and because of our progress in technology.

    Yet you sit here and act like a hateful person, towards people that you know nothing about. Now, I have Jesus in my heart, and I have been brought before God, and I can tell you it is not a fun experience, it has caused me much grief, yet in him, God, it is true, their is no darkness.

    You Rachel have much darkness in your heart, you really need to get over your ingrained hatred, if your heart is heavy with it, you will not pass.

    Well, the Chimperor has done his little song-and-dance, and no surprises, unfortunately.

    20,000 more troops (including 4,000 to secure Anbar Province…yeah…4,000 oughtta do it, Chimpy), rhetoric of ’sacrifice’ revisited, a mealy-mouthed admission of responsibility (but not blame), and perhaps most chilling, an overt threat to Iran and Syria, as if we can possibly follow through on such threats without resorting to nuclear weapons.

    I think Patton Oswalt summed it up quite eloquently when he said, ” I don’t think Bush wants to be President as much as he wants to be The Last President.“.

    Folks, the end times are upon us.


  159. Briseadh na Faire says:

    I just finished watching Bush’s Call to Arms. More sacrifice. More promises. More predictions of all the horrible outcomes if we don’t do what Bush says.

    If Bush was an Old Testament Prophet, he’d have been stoned to death.

    Remember, 70,000 to 90,000 troops were sent into Baghdad just last summer in order to secure the city. THAT TACTIC ALREADY FAILED.

    WRITE YOUR SENATORS, WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE: cut off funding for Bush’s War.

    We don’t need our kids dying in a foreign land, just so that War Profiteers and Oil Companies can make more money.


  160. RealityCheck says:

    I’ve been thinking about how all this feels.

    With the Clinton impeachment, it was all about adversarial politicians (Republicans) out to destroy their opponent in any way they could.

    This time around, the politicians in the other party are the ones who for the most part are not talking about impeachment. Instead, the grass roots are the source of the action.

    Folks, this is really different. A broad constituent base is forcing their elected representatives to choose between the Constitution and a President. Wow.

    Well I took one for the team and listened to every word and watched the bad body language of bull shit bush from beginning to end…. the one thing it did accomplish was to make me even more dedicated to get this dumbass, evil fool out of office…Note , this entire speech was like all the others, noticed he said the american and Iraq people would no longer support Malaki if he didn’t do what he was supposto do….No mention of taking all our troop’s home….I’M still mad as hell..

    Heard Obama after and was thinking finelly there are some people with brain’s coming forward…

    Everything is moot when the crazy basterd has started sending troop’s already and continues to incite Iran and Syria….Unless we demand all this is stoped immediately and this ass removed we are in for another stalled bloody year…I think he is giving all of us the finger and doesn’t think anything can stop him…..I for one am going to show what I can do with marches mail’s and speaking the truth to all the young people I see every day….Blessings

    Didn’t the president look 15 years older, and if I’m not mistaken, suffering from a humongous hangover???

    Since my sons are gone, I wasn’t watching it anyway, except for Countdown and Daily Show. It’s not worth the price for two shows I missed half the time.

    Like the new name? I liked your suggestion, but settled on this spelling.

    Comment by Sharon Cox

    ******Dear Sharon – With your vast foreign policy insight, would you please explain what President Bush has done to initiate tensions with Iran and Syria – your concern over his “continuing to incite’ them intimates he started an international brawl with them. And everyone knows what innocent players they are on the world stage.

    P.S. Not to upset you, but I think Hillary is going to top the Dem ticket – not Obama – follow the $$$….


  188. trueblue says:

    Haha, Zoo!

    Do you read the comic strip “Rose is Rose”?

    Her alter ego is a biker chic – “Rosie”.

    She doesn’t take any crap.

    That’s how I sometimes see you!

    (It’s a compliment.)

    :-) remember what happened when Medusa looked into the mirror?

    As I said, MA, I will be looking back from the other side of the mirror…that side in which your deepest fears reside. I have learned to travel the black void….to places where your soul screams in terror.

    I understand, I myself am a late bloomer, past rebel and hell raiser….Now I dedicate my time for good change, like getting a miserable drunk druggie out of our white house and planting lot’s of trees…..Bloom where you’re planted and enjoy the sunshine on you’re face…

    Did I skip the MA troll post…To bad.. Guess what gang, if we work real hard we may get the rat out of the white house before 2008 and get Palosi in…..She will make a lovely, intelligent contribution to our country, don’t ya think.?……Blessings all….P.S. BnF…I pulled a ruen for the hag and got an inverted……Teiwaz..Hurry and perfection does not match…..That fit’s, no perfection and to much hurry..

    Why would you want to to go there — Hagette doesn’t care.

    It is not that I want to go there, it is where I AM.

    200, Trip,

    There are 40 different possible readings from a single Rune draw.

    When I draw a rune, it is from a black pouch…I am not able to see the rune before it is pulled out of the pouch…yet, they seem uncannily accurate….

    Peace and Blessings.

    It certainly seems so, which makes me all the more concerned about the rune you drew for me. I guess I was hoping for better news, but considering where my life is at this point, I have to admit that it is accurate as well.

    Instead of the US spending so much money on the Iraq war, US and world leaders need to be paying more attention to the 2002 Millenium goals, one of which is to combat world hunger. Approximately $ 300 billion has been spent on the Iraq War while there is a $ 19 billion annual shortfall to achieve the plan to end world hunger. We all could work together to achieve this goal.

  206. Think Progress » ABC Falsely Claims Pelosi Opposes Cutting Funds For Iraq Escalation says:

    [...] Pelosi told Sawyer, “[W]e will hold the president accountable. He has to answer for his war. He has dug a hole so deep he can’t even see the light on this. It’s a tragedy. It’s a historic blunder.” Asked about reports that President Bush has already begun increasing U.S. troop levels by 3,500 soldiers, Pelosi said, “The president knows that because the troops are in harm’s way that we won’t cut off the resources. That’s why he’s moving so quickly to put them in harm’s way.” Watch it: var flvpelosiraq3202409720 = new SWFObject(’/wp-content/plugins/flvplayer.swf?file=http://images1.americanprogress.org/il80web20037/ThinkProgress/flv/2007/01/pelosiraq.320.240.flv&autoStart=false’, ‘em-flvpelosiraq3202409720′, ‘320′, ‘260′, ‘6′, ‘#ffffff’); flvpelosiraq3202409720.addParam(’quality’, ‘high’); flvpelosiraq3202409720.addParam(’wmode’, ‘transparent’); flvpelosiraq3202409720.write(’flvpelosiraq3202409720′); [...]
