If Nancy Pelosi put impeachment on the table now, the Republics and the Media would scream “partisan politics” and accuse the Democratic party of trying to take over the government via impeachment (because the need to Impeach Bush/Chaney at the same time).

Just give it another month or so. That smoking gun is out there ready to fire. Once it does, and the American public really sees what Bush and the Republic party really are, I do believe that impeachment will be put on the table.

You are right Saywho, trying to save the lives of our young men and women in the military is a waste of time.

What Happens After Bush Vetoes the Iraq Spending Bill?

But instead of seeking the dialogue he asked for in his own radio address, Bush and the Republicans went on the attack, calling the bill “defeatist” and “a cut and run” strategy. The truth is that the measure offers a change of course, not a 180-degree reversal. If Bush and Republicans can’t agree to a plan as moderate as the one passed this week, then they really do want a war with no end.

Don’t have the support of the American people? Oh, that’s right. The majority of the American people who voted on election day in 2006 voted the Dems back into the majority, in both chambers of Congress, because they were unhappy with the economy that Bush says is so great.

The American people knew in the days and months prior to the election that the Dems would focus on ending the war and bringing our troops home, and they STILL voted for a Dem majority. This, despite the shit coming from the mouths of Bush and Cheney that a vote for a Democrat was a vote for terrorism.

Tell me…have you called your Congresspersons to tell them to leave the troops in Iraq?

As asked for earlier, I’d also like a source for your poll. Your ass doesn’t count.

I’d also like to point out that Bush himself, as well as Paul Bremer and Colin Powell, have said publicly that we’d leave Iraq if the Iraqis asked us to:

UPDATE: From the Washington Post, 5/15/04:

I didn’t know that the administration harbored such a defeatest attitude. Oh wait…it is a defeatest attitude only if the Dems propose it.

Mr. Tenet expresses puzzlement that, since 2001, Al Qaeda has not sent “suicide bombers to cause chaos in a half-dozen American shopping malls on any given day.”

Mr. Tenet is obviously not in agreement with Mr. Bush’s assertion that “we are fighting them over there so that we don’t have to fight them over here.”

The book recounts C.I.A. efforts to fight Al Qaeda in the years before the Sept. 11 attacks, and Mr. Tenet’s early warnings about Osama bin Laden. He contends that the urgent appeals of the C.I.A. on terrorism received a lukewarm reception at the Bush White House through most of 2001.

No surprise there.

Mr. Tenet describes helping to kill a planned speech by Mr. Cheney on the eve of the invasion because its claims of links between Al Qaeda and Iraq went “way beyond what the intelligence shows.”

Again, no surprise here either.

Rotting corpses in the street–fed on by stray dogs. What’s a little collateral damage in the absolutely “war on terrorism”.

We live in very interesting times–because this could be the first time in 1000 years that a single power could create so much havoc with impunity as it sees fit. Of course, the “Save Darfur” fellow-travellers will be myopic about Mogadishu.

BRITISH NEWSPAPERS WITH SO MUCH ANTI AMERICAN MESSAGES

Here’s a poll for ya…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) drew relatively high approval ratings as they passed their 100-day mark as leaders of their chambers, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The poll was conducted last Thursday through Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

He has no real reason to veto the bill of course, except for his hurt pride and stubborness. THe Congress has given him everything he wants for funding and has provided a nonbinding timeline.
