		<description>When I was in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969, myself and my brother 550,000 other &#039;troops&#039; daily witnessed ourselves being &#039;slow bled&#039; by the incompetence and ignorance of both the Johnson and Nixon administrations. That &#039;slow bleed&#039; strategy ultimately cost over 58,000 U.S. lives lost and over 301,000 wounded, before WE THE PEOPLE finally woke up and demanded that Congress stop that insanity. Chicken-hawk Rove keeps penning his little phrases, often cobbled from someone else, to &#039;justify&#039; the neo-conmen positions on Bush ever escalating war in Iraq, and the Bush cabal, along with the right wing media and so-called &#039;evangicals&#039; dutifully parrot them all ad-infinitum. There is currently an anti-war majority finally rearing it&#039;s beautiful head within our government, and it should be fully supported by us all, as our government attempts to right the multiple wrongs imposed upon it by supposed &#039;compassionate conservatives&#039;. As all the reasons or justifications for Bushs&#039; war in Iraq have been finally swept aside by reason and truth, the hallowness of the Bush war in Iraq has become more and more apparent, save for those who still ignorantly believe there will be some sort of concocted &#039;victory&#039; there. Our troops indeed do depend upon all of our &#039;support&#039;. Let us all make it known, our oppositon to the continuing Bush imposed bloodshed in Iraq, to each and every one of our Congressman and Senators daily, until they finally get the message that they are responsible for forcing the Bush regime to end the carnage. &quot;Support the troops&quot; indeed, by immediately bringing them all home from Iraq. Blame the war, not the warriors! Not one more drop of U.S.blood, nor one more red cent of U.S.money should be wasted in Iraq. Semper Fi! MarchMarine17@optonline.net</description>

		<description>&quot;Slow bleed&quot; or &quot;full bleed&quot; - let&#039;s just get the job done - and at least we can identify what the &#039;job&#039; is unlike Bushevites - that is, getting our troops out of harm&#039;s way before more innocent people are killed or maimed!  That&#039;s what the &quot;new job&quot; is and should be.  The reichwingnuts can call it what they like - cutting them off at the knees in small increments or fully is of little consequence as long as the job is moving forward.</description>

		<description>P.S.  For the record, Wesley Clark, Dennis Kucinich, and Russ Feingold had the chutzpah to stand up for the truth and vote &quot;NO&quot;!  Also, Barak Obama came out strongly against taking action against Iraq as well - on record.  THESE, AND ONLY THESE FEW PATRIOTS DESERVE YOUR VOTE IN 08.  THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE THE ONLY ONES QUALIFIED TO REPRESENT HONEST, MORAL AMERICANS.</description>

		<description>Too little/too late as Brown-Waite so aptly characterized it!  Now it&#039;s time for american citizens to show these idiots that their vote is not to be taken lightly as they did when they knuckled under to pressure from within.  Time to boot these 25 clearly out of office because they fell down on the job entrusted to them by the american people. Time to show all politicians that they serve &quot;at the pleasure of the people&quot; whom they serve and not the other way around. 

Time to eject every last one of these &quot;war enablers&quot; right out of office on their ear - yes, and that includes some high profile individuals who clearly should have known better such as:  Joe Lieberman, John McCain, Joe Biden, John Edwards, John Kerry, etc.  And, of course, the &quot;most culpable&quot; of these &quot;enablers&quot; who sat her butt in the white house for 8 years and knew ALL of the background on the situation was Hillary Clinton.  She, ABOVE ALL OTHERS, had inside information and STILL sold her soul for a vote.  No, no - Hillary!  This is not something you can worm or lie your way out of.  You may be an intelligent, calculating woman but, this time, dearie, you&#039;ve gotten yourself &lt;em&gt;hoist on your own pitard!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>The Clinton&#039;s depleted the military for 8 years, the Bushies were way too slow on building it back up.  If Clinton had taken out  Bin laden when he had numerous chances, we probably wouldn&#039;t be in Iraq now.


absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
let your enemies shoot first

give them a chance to kill you
before blowing their brains out

		<description>So, they&#039;re telling me the Dems support a slow bleed strategy. Okay. 

Does that mean the right supports a fast bleed strategy? Proabably.

I mean, at least when its bleeding slow you have time to stop the blood and stitch it up. I think we can still do that internationally.</description>

Wow...that is some fantastic logic. We paid to train them so let&#039;s get them all killed without a plan for success. Lucky for me. I know you are no MCASM Marine. Around here we don&#039;t tolerate stupidity.

		<description>Though this comment section appears to be drawing to a close as other articles arise I wanted to post anyway. After watching the U.S. vs. John Lennon a question came to mind. Well actually a few questions, but the primary question is where is today&#039;s John Lennon to protest the evil that is our foreign policy?

Are we as a country really so brain dead that we wholly buy the fear mongering that allows these Fascists to do whatever they want?

Is there anybody in the Dallas area that could offer some suggestion to fight this evil?</description>

		<description>3. GOPers always twist facts.  Cutting off funding for the Iraq Fiasco War means to end the war and bring the troops home alive.  It does NOT mean to leave the troops in Iraq without armour and equipment.  Jay Randal

		<description>My broken record: If a Democratic president was sending troops to his own war-of-choice without sufficient armor after four years the howls from the right wing would be constant and deafening.

They get away with this thanks to our volunteer army and marine corps.</description>

		<description>â€˜If you believe in the United States you stay in and you keep doing it and you accept the risk.â€™â€



Uh? Duh? Hello?

Since when did the military become the nations &quot;welfare youth camp&quot;?

There have always been risks in the military and anyone who signs up knows this BEFORE they enlist. Again I ask, since when did you Liberals make the military the nations &quot;post leave the nest babysitter&quot;?

Welcome to the new world people. Us Conservatives want OUR MONEYS WORTH out of these &quot;troops&quot; we have deployed in Iraq.

No more sitting around with a thumb up their ass getting paid and getting fat while us Conservatives have to foot the bill. These boys need to get their asses in gear. No more patty cake here. Lets see some results for a change.

We are doing the American taxpayers a great service by DEMANDING the American troops STEP UP TP THE PLATE and give us a better performance.  

Hopefully Duckworth is a fighter and not a silly &quot;Liberal Progressive Useless Eater&quot; getting fat stateside.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Letâ€™s â€œpeak troooooth to Powerâ€. Comment by valiant venus â€” February 16, 2007 @ 8:33 pm&lt;/em&gt;

You need to eat another tic-tac, your posts are thin again.

&lt;em&gt;Why donâ€™t Congressional Dems and Progressives, vote NOW to cut funding for the Iraq War? Comment by valiant venus â€” February 16, 2007 @ 8:33 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Because they&#039;re politically astute. A trait you and your party can never be charged with.
 
&lt;em&gt;That might have a few more teeth than a lame non-binding resolution. Comment by valiant venus â€” February 16, 2007 @ 8:33 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Because Bush screwed up, and he should fix this.  He&#039;s commander in Chief, even though he&#039;s too inept to execute his duty.  A situation we&#039;re all sure you&#039;re familiar with being in.

&lt;em&gt;(That non-binding resolution would make great wallpaper - itâ€™s not worth much else.) Comment by valiant venus â€” February 16, 2007 @ 8:33 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Stating the will of the people and congress means nothing to you?  Figures.  Fascism isn&#039;t democratic, and an Anorexic like yourself doesn&#039;t get enough calories to think clearly.

&lt;em&gt;(We wouldnâ€™t make fun of progressives if they werenâ€™t such easy targets.) Comment by valiant venus â€” February 16, 2007 @ 8:33 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Make fun of progressives?  Now that&#039;s funny!  Considering that most of the worlds comedy and funny jokes make fun of you inept conservatives.  Like a president that keeps screwing up, and doesn&#039;t listen to the will of the people or congress.  We wouldn&#039;t make fun of conservatives, if you weren&#039;t such easy targets.</description>
