Petraeus will put a positive spin on things because it’s his duty and he’ll never say things suck even if they do. These supposed votes will vanish into thin air the very millisecond afterwards, under the smokescreen of Petraeus’ positive assessment. So the rationale for the Dems backing off this last spending bill will vanish as they are placed in the identical situation, just in September after still more carnage.

So it’ll be another six months, then another, then another…then we’ll have an election…then regardless of who wins, we’ll have another six months, then another, then another, then another….

Take it to the bank.

The most truthful thing I heard recently was Tony Snow breaking the news that Bush imagines we’ll be there for decades, like South Korea, Germany, Japan, etc. The chances of anythihng different happening are concomitant with the chances of Kucinich winning the Presidency, and friends, that just ain’t gonna happen.

The Bush gangsters prefer the pine box/metal casket way of “supporting the troops.” Actually, this whole occupation is an illegal use of the U. S. military for private gain (oil companies) which has been outlawed in U. S. federal codes. But try to get the cowardly spineless Democrats to try to enforce that one…

Actually, the simplest action to end this illegal criminal occupation of Eye-rack is to repeal the original Congressional resolution authorizing the use of force in Eye-rack passed back in October, 2002 (I believe). Bush cannot veto the rescinding of a Congressional resolution. Of course, there is always the problem of Bush just ignoring it as he has ignored many other laws and parts of the U. S. Constitution. Our only legal remedy then is Impeachment, Trial, Conviction and Removal from Office. And for that we need at least one-third of the Republican Senators, and they will only be moved with an immediate and looming threat of their own removal from their Senate seats…

…mass murder NOW…

…what…

…will they be guilty of…

…MEGA-murder in September?

…fu*k Bush, Cheney and the ENTIRE CONSERVATIVE population…

…may ALL of their heads, souls, fortunes, and movement end up…

…in HELL’S PUBLIC toilets…

I hear you Fed. This is beyond politics, this is an abomination left at our doorstep by an abomination himself. There are real people dead and suffering for the vanity of our little Napoleon. It is flat out wrong.

They should have buried him with Falwell.

No one needs a Repugniscum serving in any office in this land!!!

Vote every last one of these enemies of the state out of office. It’s the least you can do!!!

So, this is the progressive political strategy for ending an internationally illegal, morally reprehensible, humanisticly deplorable, and PUBLICLY OPPOSED military action that is killing thousands of people monthly: Gum it to near death and then let it die of attrition.

All hail the war-crazy United States. One group says “we love war and hope it lasts forever” and the other group says “we don’t like the appearance of war and we’ll bring an end to this at a pace that guarantees that the maximum of time will elapse during the process. Oh, and vote dem”.

As we discuss murder/war in the abstract, how easy it is to be saddened by those that have been killed and wounded yet speak in terms of months and years regarding resolving this atrocity. What a great luxury.

The flaw in the sanctimony of the current batch of “Americans”, whether R or D, is the disconnect with reality. The only way that a solution months away is a viable solution is when all parties involved will or should survive the wait. That’s not a reality. Tomorrow, an average of 3 service members will die for a lie. Tomorrow, an average of 50 Iraqis will be murdered. Tomorrow, the anti-war crowd will talk about “September”. Not in the context of an end date, but in the context that that is the next time anything will be done to end the greatest wrong the United States has ever perpetrated.

Since we seem to think that the choice is ours to make, who shall die tomorrow? Let’s start picking them out in advance so that the families can have some time to plan. Maybe even a lottery.

I mean really, they do mean nothing to us. We know that if we don’t stop that more are going to die but the current response is “September”, around 100 “tomorrows” from now. So they cannot mean anything to you if you are willing to cavalierly sacrifice a few hundred or so for political maneuvering.

That’s the reality. Fcuk the Republicans and Fcuk the Democrats. Two hemorrhoids, both part of the same a$$hole.

Agreed. It is called a recall petiton. Apparently Lieberman’s constituancy is ok with being lied to and made out to be fools – just like W’s supporters. It makes me so angry to know certain citizens really like being abused and pushed around. Does anybody have any self respect anymore?

More interesting – why does he think the next WH incumbent will go along with his plan, as he obviously does?

Regards, C

Sorry – I should have said that Lieberman has threatened to caucus with the Republicans if the Democrats don’t stop with the time tables in some smug passive aggressive manner. The Rude Pundit has a link to the interview in which Lieberman made the threat.
