The escalation is a failure.
As many had foreseen, the escalation has failed to produce the intended results. The increase in U.S. forces has had little impact in curbing the violence or fostering political reconciliation. It has not enhanced America’s national security. The unsettling reality is that instances of violence against Iraqis remain high and attacks on U.S. forces have increased.

Dear Mr. Bush,
Umm… we… a… he Hare what were we gonna say again… Oh yeah,
Mr. President, we wanted to say, on behalf of the Democrats, that we are here to serve at your pleasure.

June 13th, 2007 at 6:14 pmYeah, more BS that will amount to nothing.
Business as usual.
June 13th, 2007 at 6:15 pmTo Pelosi & Reid:
STOP WRITING LETTERS FOR GODS SAKE. Start taking action. Writing letters does no good and only makes the Democrats look weak and spineless.
June 13th, 2007 at 6:16 pmResponse from the White House:
Dear American Citizen,
Due to the overwhelming amount of mail that the White House receives on a daily basis, the President may not be able to personally respond to all letters. We assure that your letter has been read and has not been thrown into the trash immediately.
God Bless America,

June 13th, 2007 at 6:27 pm“On June 12, the former head of the US training operation in Iraq, General Dempsey, gave an assessment of the capability of Iraqi security forces that concluded that after years of effort and massive expenditure of resources, Iraqi units remain uneven in their quality and reliability.”
Explanation trolls?
It’s a good letter. But, I’d just like to see more than words at this point. I’d like to see actions.
June 13th, 2007 at 6:27 pmBush (Black Bart) wants the contract for the oil (the deed to Grandma’s ranch), before he and his gang (Bushco) ride out of town. The mayor (Reid) and the schoolmarm (Pelosi) are trying to negotiate on behalf of the Townsfolk (the troops and the American and Iraqi people).
Where the Fu(k is the Sheriff (Gonzales)? He works for Bart. Where’s the Cavalry and the Posse (our military and law enforcement officers)? Bart sent their asses on a wild goose chase in search of a phantom gang called the Terrists. “Ther Everwhar.”
June 13th, 2007 at 6:28 pmClearly the reason why letters to Bush have no impact is because W never learned to read! It doesn’t fall on deaf ears, but rather on blind eyes.
My advice to Pelosi and Reid… you should have not approved the bill that continues to give W all the money he wants to finance this war and his buddies at Halliburton etc etc. First impressions count, and all you did was show that you are spineless democrats! Damage done!
He doesn’t compromise… stop trying to compromise with him! You can’t make everyone happy, but get a bill specifying troop removal and you’ll make 77% of America happy.
June 13th, 2007 at 6:28 pmAs Mother Terasa said, “enough talk, let them se what we do”
Time for action not more talk. IMPEACH BUSH CHENEY AND GONZALES. Clean house and good riddance!

June 13th, 2007 at 6:31 pmIf they actually ASKED the American people what the people wanted (which wasn’t that what the last election was about??..), then instead of not having the courage to push hard to do what is right themselves, they could just say that the American people had given them a mandate to take the steps necessary to do what is right. (Wait, again, isn’t that what we did in the last election?..)
If they were afraid of it affecting their chances for re-election, they could just say “the American people made me do it..”

June 13th, 2007 at 6:59 pmThis just in from Captain Obvious:
The escalation is a failure. With insight like that, I could be Speaker of the House!
June 13th, 2007 at 7:01 pmReid and Pelosi are just setting the table for their offensive this fall.
Look at where this country is politically, right now. Now imagine how it’s going to look after three more months of a failed “security plan,” a riled-up public demanding and end to the war (this frustation doesn’t hurt Pelosi and Reid’s efforts to pass the legislation they want, it helps), and the leadership of the Republican Party insisting that we stay the course.
I’ll tell you what it’s going to look like - it’s going to look like Pelosi and Reid ending the war however they want, with substantial Republican defections, and the “you don’t support the troops” charge being so weak that even the most lily-livered Democrat in Nebraska won’t be afraid to keep ramming a withdrawal down Bush’s throat until he signs a bill, or the funding runs out.
I’d rather the Democratic victory against this war happened sooner rather than later, too. But most of all, I want it to happen, and whatever Reid and Pelosi do to keep the failure of this war and the need to end it on the front burner until the vote on the appropriations bill is fine with me.

June 13th, 2007 at 7:14 pmDear Pelosi and Reid:
Your efforts to hold the Bush Administration accountable are a failure!
The minute you took impeachment off the table, you gave Bush a free pass. Your lame excuse that He had you over the barrel on the troop funding issue is just that: a lame excuse. You could have had Him over the same barrel. But you chose to roll over and give Him the money to continue His war, no strings attached.
Go ahead, write letters, hold hearings, issue press releases. But unless you ACT to hold Bush accountable, all you do is entertain, not govern.
Yes, Republicans, along with Liebermann, showed they are willing and able to continue to support the Bush Administration, no matter what, but unless you continue to press the points, you will lose voters.
If you cannot do that, then at least have the courtesy to not run for re-election.
June 13th, 2007 at 7:14 pmMr. President,
Do you project that the Demos will regain their spines and move on to preschool?
June 13th, 2007 at 7:17 pm“Why are democrats so quick to declare everything a failure? I know that cranking out more troops in that hell-hole may not have made for the best of plans, but why the excessive doomsday speak?”
Because the facts on the ground speak for themselves.
It’s not working. It’s getting worse. They just blew up the Golden Dome in Samarra. Again. Remember what happened last time? Even you people had to flip-flop from your “there is no civil war” talking points.
Quick to declare failure? Democrats spent three years trying to make this war succeed, even though they didn’t believe in it. There comes a time when you need to face facts.
It didn’t work. We can debate why later. Now, we have to stop throwing good money and lives after bad, and act like responsible adults.
This isn’t Scooby-Doo. “It’s GOT to work!” isn’t really a plan. You failed. The war is a failure. It’s time to swallow your stupid, partisan pride, and salvage what we can of our foreign policy and counter-terror strategy, while there’s still something to salvage.
Hitch up your pants, take a stiff drink, and look reality in the eye. It’s time - no, long past time - to do what needs to be done; abandon Bush’s little Stalingrad mission, and try to contain the damage you caused.
June 13th, 2007 at 7:27 pmThe leaders of the Democratic party are a joke. They have responded to this sitting president as individuals who are totally intimidated by the White House. Pelosi and Reid both should have been far more forceful and zealous in their efforts to contain any further spending for the Iraq debacle. Instead, they spent their time hedging and saying they supported the troops. Who cares about their letter? It is too late, they continue facilitating this president’s efforts to put off any pull out until the democrats get elected next year. Well, surprise, Speaker Pelosi and Mr. Reid. I suggest that many who would have supported the Democrats now intend to support a third party next year. All the democrats have demonstrated is a calm reassurance that they are getting their funds for their next elections from the same sources the republicans get theirs: lobbiests and corporations. I urge all readers to write Ms. Pelosi at the site “the gavel”. Let her know that you are discouraged and cynical about the lack of spine shown by the democratic party. Starting with Rahm Emanuel, Reid, et al.

I love this stupidity, Brish. Keep it up.
• On the day we file SUBPOENAS to former Shitehouse staff, you come on to bash the leaders.
Clearly you never supported the leaders, and won’t. Why don’t you admit it?
• Pelosi became the first female minority leader in the history of the U.S., and the first female Speaker, as a result of leading 60% of House Dems to NAY votes on the Iraq Resolution.
She has resolutely opposed the war the whole time.
But you want her to stop the war by magic wand. Nevermind that we don’t have the votes for a conviction. Nevermind that the R will not vote the facts. Nevermind that democracy function well when the media is complicit with a coup. Nevermind all that.
You.Must.Attack.the.Democrats.
And go get your Cookie from Karl, you earned it.
June 13th, 2007 at 8:00 pm“Pelosi and Reid both should have been far more forceful and zealous in their efforts to contain any further spending for the Iraq debacle.” –faith
The reason WHY Bush has used the emergency spending bills to fund the war is that they have less democratic restrictions.
• The actual defense budget, coming up, is a FAR more democratic process, and the ONLY place we stand a chance of restricting Bush’s activities overseas.
We did not have the votes to stop the emergency supplemental. You can cry if you want, but your tomatoes are better off in your sauce.

June 13th, 2007 at 8:23 pmPaul, you’ve seen me on these boards long enough to know where I am coming from.
By the way, don’t knock magic if you haven’t tried it.
We don’t need votes for a conviction. We need the process. We need the trial to bring the facts to light. If Republicans and Liebermann vote to accquit in spite of the facts and based solely on Party loyalty, that, too, is part of the process and can be useful for voters to make informed decisions.
Finally, we do need conviction; the conviction necessary to say that this war is wrong and we aren’t going to authorize one more dime for it’s continuance. Democrats could have refused to authorized funding for anything other than a safe draw-down of the troops. If Bush continued to veto the funding, He would be the one undermining troop safety for political reasons.
Yes, I give Democrats their fair share of the blame. They were unwilling to filibuster when they were in the minority; they are unwilling to do anything other than what Bush dictates now that they are in the majority. Both parties have innocent blood on their hands.
And I can still see the grief-stricken face of the mother of one of our soldiers when she was handed the flag from her child’s coffin. 500 more kids have died since then, and you want me to go easy on the Democrats?
No way.
I used to pray for those knowing of wrongdoing in the Bush Administration come forward with testimony and evidence. Not any more. Now, I pray that those who know of wrongdoing by the ruling class and those serving in government continue to come forward with testimony and evidence.

Thanks. I don’t know that I would describe myself as an idealist at this point in time…a pi$$ed-off idealist, perhaps. Others have called me a Renaissance Man, a mage, a soul-worker. But really, I’m just a public school teacher, lawyer, and student of shamanism.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:00 pmI may be jumping to conclusions, but it appears to me that Paul in LA is the pragmatist and Briseadh na Faire is the idealist. Personally, I prefer idealism any day over pragmatism. Pragmatism tends to be a slow but steady approach that allows a continuation of the wrongdoing, corruption or whatever the issue may be, at least for the short term and perhaps even much longer. That really doesn’t do it for me. Great posts, Briseadh na Faire!

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT PRAGMATISM MEANS DO YOU, A$$HOLE!!!!
NOR IDEALISM, JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t know what a word means, DON’T USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 13th, 2007 at 10:06 pmIf Pelosi and Reid think its bad over there now wait till the Democrats Surrender and bring our Soldiers home then Iraq will become a Bloodbath.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:14 pmjay they always ignore faxes and emails from people not in their district.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:15 pm“If Pelosi and Reid think its bad over there now wait till the Democrats Surrender and bring our Soldiers home then Iraq will become a Bloodbath.”
Do you mean that it isn’t in a bloodbath now??
June 13th, 2007 at 10:19 pmKati I am Proud to inform you at this time that the Democrats are Weak and Spineless thats why they are viewed by Terrorist as Paper Tigers . that is why Bill Clinton Fought the Bosnian War at 30000 Ft .
June 13th, 2007 at 10:24 pmTruman > they ignore letters even from those in their districts. I am sure one of Bush’s secretaries stamps the letter received from Reid and Pelosi, then files it away in a cabinet with all the other ones. Several members of Congress have one whole drawer for my letters. It is probably labeled “Asshole in Georgia” > lol.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:29 pmit will be a bloodbath where the likes of have not been seen since we surrendered and ran from vietnam with our tail tucked between our legs . hundreds of thousands killed , many more sent to reeducation camps a few of the lucky ones who escaped made it here in leaky boats to start a new life .

June 13th, 2007 at 10:31 pmPelosi and Reid love terrorist and hate our troops Because they are Demwits
Sure, tell that to the Iraqis who aren’t fortunate enough to live in the Green Zone. I am sure they will appreciate that they are not living in a bloodbath at present. I am sure they are thanking us for the fact they have no electricity, no clean water and no fuel for their cars. I am sure they are appreciative we have not started this whole ball rolling that has cost their livelihoods, and the lives of their friends and families..
I am sure they are thanking us for it.
It is already bad. It is VERY bad and getting a whole lot worse.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:36 pmOur being there is only making it worse AND putting big bullseyes on the backs of our soldiers who don’t even know who the friends are and who are the enemies (because they change from day to night)..
sorry - that we HAVE started this whole ball rolling. Well, WE haven’t, Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and all their PNAC friends have to take responsibility for that.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:37 pmStop Bush’s activities overseas NOW!!!!! so we can fight this war Here in the U.S. as a Criminal Justice Problem , after all thats how Bill Fought it , send in the F.B.I. heehehe . what fool.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:37 pmits kind of Boring and I’d really Like to see how CNN ABC CBS MSNBC and HEADLINE NEWS would Cover it . at the very least I think that several Milliom Libearls would die real quick . Peace Dude .
and that may not be a bad thing .
June 13th, 2007 at 10:38 pmJG of course its going to get worse . your guys were elected on promises that we would pull our troops out . they watch CNN over there too and know that Democrats have no stomach for war. they are Lazy , smoke dope , preach peace are week and spineless . and will not under any circumstances defend themselves . Did I miss anything ?
June 13th, 2007 at 10:43 pmAll who predict a bloodbath, ie. genocide, assume that the U.S. will pull troops out and there will be no U.N. peacekeeping force.
Regardless, the bloodbath that has occured and the blood yet to be spilled, is on the hands of the RULING ELITE OF THE WORLD. And they don’t give a damned.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:50 pmPeloser and Reid are traitors and defeatist scum.
Time for them to step down and let the adults run the show again.
June 13th, 2007 at 10:57 pmThey could have written it so he understands
See iraqi troops?
See iraqi troops get hurt
See funding?
See funding stop
Run home george run

With mindless sycophants like this, is it any wonder why the Republicans are self-destructing?
29%, 28%, 27%, 26%….
If it wasn’t for all the damage they’ve done, it would be a pleasure to watch.
Mr. President, enjoy burning in hell with your namesake.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:27 amMaybe they can write their next letters to the family members of those troops who have died in Iraq while they dilly dally and pander.
June 14th, 2007 at 2:43 amif anybody knows failure its those two cowards.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:02 amYeah, I quote Freddy all the time…

I’ve only seen you do it once and it was so out of character that I would bet you don’t know what you’re actually quoting or anything about the man you’re quoting. Sure, now you can go google him and find out that he’s a free-thinker, which opposes the theme of anything you’ve ever posted here, but I still doubt you’ll get the irony…

June 14th, 2007 at 9:10 amHOW ABOUT A LITTLE AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY TODAY?
Democrats, with Harry Reid leading the pack, are telling President Bush that his troop surge in Iraq has failed. Now the language may be just a bit different, but what we really have here is leading Defeatocrats public stating that the U.S. is losing in Iraq. Once again we have our lovely Democrats bringing smiles to the faces of our enemies in Iran and Islamic terrorist goons worldwide.
I know that at this point you don’t have to be reminded of this … but Democrats are completely 100% invested in our losing in Iraq. Their chances of taking the White House in next year’s election rest entirely on their ability to convince the American people that the Islamic fascists are winning. Every insurgent bomb is a victory for Democrats. Every new school, hospital or retail store that opens in an Iraqi neighborhood is bad news.
Never before has an American political party be so eager for the defeat of American troops in battle.
June 14th, 2007 at 9:53 amWilly there will be plenty of unborn baby murdering Liberals in hell , that I know for sure : P
June 14th, 2007 at 9:55 amWhy is it that Democrats are always at the Front of the Aid and Comfort the Enemy Line ? well they do seem to like assisted suicide so it would only make sense.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:00 amWe all know that the real Harry Truman is dead. The troll posting here as him is brain dead.

Learn a bit of history, boy. It was President Roosevelt, followed by President Truman (the real one), that oversaw the US’s victory in WWII, while Prescott Bush, Dumbya’s granddad, had financial dealings with the Nazis.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:12 amBTW, Hillary would never have you.
bush is unable to read, so why bother sending him a letter.
June 14th, 2007 at 10:56 ambush is a typical right-winger: blind, deaf, and has a megaphone for a mouth. The comments by “Mr. President” prove my point.
Democrats are helping the enemies of the United States at the expense of all Americans. And they seem to be so blind and ignorant, that they don’t even realize it. They are as easily manipulated as uneducated people in Third-World countries. With US-haters like Pelosi, we need no outside enemies to destroy the United States. For example, Pelosy and Reid are helping the likes of Chávez, who is working with the Islamic terrorists. And they are believing Castro’s and Chávez’s lies agaist Colombia’s President Uribe, a friend of the United States.
July 5th, 2007 at 7:37 pmlestatdelc is absolutely right: Pelosi and Reid love terrorist and hate our troops because they are Demwits! They also seem to hate the United States because they are ready to assist any enemy willing to do us harm–Castro, Chávez, etc.– and ready to harm any friend, such as Colombia’s President Uribe.
