GOP senators want new war authorization.

By Matt on Jul 13th, 2007 at 5:59 pm

GOP senators want new war authorization.»

Sens. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and John Warner (R-VA) “said today that President Bush should seek a new war authorization and present a plan to Congress by Oct. 16 outlining contingency plans in Iraq. Those plans, which would include reducing American forces, should begin by the end of the year.” Their measure will be “considered next week when the Iraq war debate resumes.”

    This is going to get interesting. September will be a fun month to watch. Then, sometime early next year, the next false flag incident will cause the complete takeover by the neo-cons. Trouble is brewing ahead.


  2. GWB Says:

    I don’t need no stinkin authorization to do what I want! I am the decider! Hear that? I AM THE DECIDER!!


  3. J Lewd Says:

    There should be a term for these Senators who are flipping their support of the President’s flopping war stategery. But what would we call this term? Hmm. . . .

    As for the next false flag incident, Chertoff’s “gut reaction” is a pretty good indicator how close it is.


  4. J Lewd Says:

    Meant “strategery.” Does it matter if you misspell a nonexistent word?

    Ain’t he the guy who made sure a new law passed that give Shrub the authority to put troops on Main Street USA in case of public insurgency by US citizens?

    Bush will do whatever he wants even if his polling goes into single digits. There aren’t enough Republicans with big enough balls to take Bush to the mat on Iraq.

    Comment by Rebel in CA

    Its easy Reb - they are drinking less kool-aid, so their clarity is much clearer. Just because a repub made lousy decisions for all this time, doesn’t mean he/she cannot be lead to the pool of wisdom. Makes sense, no?

    Mr. President: one of our interns noted an error in your transcription of the following talking point:

    We don’t need a false flag.
    We have bin Laden.

    Sorry Lefties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Comment by Mr. President — July 13, 2007 @ 6:09 pm

    RNC guidelines say that should be “We don’t need ANOTHER false flag. We have bin Laden.”

    Please note the change for future postings.

    Thank you.

  15. hterrya Says:

    I would support Sens. Lugar and Warner in their legislation, if that same legislation ENDED the invasion legislation (H. J. Res. 114) and was VERY SPECIFIC that the their legislation specifically BARS the invasion of Iran (or ANY OTHER COUNTRY!) without NEW legislation!

    In my opinion, this is just another attempt by Lugar and Warner to protect their rear ends from their constituents who are UNIVERSALLY opposed to giving the current corrupt, crooked president a blank check to persue his debacle in Iraq!

  19. ForTruth Says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we had another “attack” on US soil before Shrub is supposed to leave. Chertoff is even priming the pump.


  20. david Says:

    Personally, I never understood how Bush got away with the invasion in the first place. He needed a second UN Security Council resolution; the UN weapons inspectors were on the ground and searching unimpeded; and Saddam was complying even to the extent of allowing the UN inspectors to destroy dozens of his missiles.

    The impression I had was that it didn’t matter what the US said; America will always use force first. Why? Because, I suspect, the reasons stated by America as its objective in threatening force are always lies. This is why Bush has triggered a new arms race. Everyone knows that Americans only understand brute force and so everyone must have WMD or America will bully them.

    Congress does have the power to declare War. And since this war is technically over and is now an occupation, I think Congress has a right to demand new authorization for the use of force and to offer Congress a plan for that use. I’d also point out that the UN, after delcaring the invasion illegal, had to resign itself to reality –something Americans seem unable to do– and gave America a mandate to secure Iraq. That mandate runs out 31 December 2007.

    If Bush won’t seek another authorization, I think Pelosi should plead with Iraq and the UN Security Council NOT to renew the mandate.


  21. ForTruth Says:

    The MSM is priming the pump too, with none other than FOX news leading the way, pushing a story for days now about Al Quiada coming to the US. Get ready folks.


  22. ForTruth Says:

    Bin Laden hasn’t had a tape on way too long. Time for a fresh one. If he’s not dead. LOL


  23. david Says:

    I recall seeing an corny old Eisenhower Era newsreel about what it would be like if Communism came to smalltown USA. It was hilariously funny with the most outrageous stereotypes and improbable plotting.

    That’s why I see here with these stories of alQaeda coming to America. Image a dozen Arabs in long robes striding through the mall. Osama’s burka clad chick clinging to his arm. A terrorist sporting the latest dynamite vest. Another terrorist knocking on doorsteps asking householders if they’d heard the good message about Allah.

    Yes, indeed, highly probable. NOT. Remember, folks. These are the Republicans who didn’t want curbs placed on money-laundering; they didn’t want shipping containers entering US ports to be sealed because WalMart objected; they didn’t want to take over airport security even though most private security didn’t meet federal standards. These guys are two-faced liars. Either they know alQaeda is no longer a domestic threat or they’re praying for a second attack. They sure as hell aren’t trying to stop one.


  24. nym@alias.net Says:

    about time those guys realized that the republican leadership has no plan.

    maybe next they’ll move to drive down that splurge and spend whopper deficit from all bush’s big gov’t programs.


  25. Tired Of Fighting Says:

    This is a joke, a ruse, this is just so it looks like some “responsible” Repuppetcan’s were the ones who got the POTUS to reduce the level of troops. There are “troops” who were supposed to be home in JULY 07 but were extended so they will be coming back in Sep-Oct anyway. will that be seen as a reduction NO because the units that they replaced (MY unit) will be replacing them after OUR units were deactivated in one place and then reflagged as another unit and made to look like WE are a new unit therefore= NEW TROOPS.

    So WE”RE being recycled and it looks to those who dont know that the POTUS is listening but he is just rotating us from one place to another. Thats how it is without all of the rhetoric, BS, and Bush/GOP-speak.

    And where are all the “General’s on the ground” (in my best Bush voice), They’re all somewhere on their knees praying to a life-size George Bush cutout, and the ones who do speak out (the 5-10 who have a pair) are no longer “Generals on the ground” or anywhere else for that matter .

    So this is again just political cover so some Repuppetcans come Nov 08 can say they “broke” with the POTUS, if they really cared about “the troops” this would have been done in 05,06.

    What the hell did we give the Dems the House and Senate for if all they do is live in fear of LIEberman, MAD-Man MCcain, AIPAC, and a bunch of the most ignorant, incompetent, dishonest public officials and media personalities ever to roam the earth.

  26. Spudge_Boy Says:

    The NeoCons are ramping up for another attack on US soil. First you have the report that al Qaeda is getting stronger, which is then followed by a story about al Qaeda cells in the US.

    Next is some type of explosion.

    Then, “See we told you al Qaeda was going to bomb here.”

    The next step will be marshal law.

    Then a war with Iran.

    Then a war with Pakistan, which will set off a nuclear war and the NeoCons will finally get what they want. To see a nuclear weapon kill millions of Muslims, good or bad, at once.

    If only 1 in 300 Americans back here had the courage that you guys do over there, we could end this shame in a day. Bring our soldiers home.

    I am embarassed of this administration and the congress that enables it. But more than anything, I am embarassed we here at home haven’t forced an end to this thing.

    We need to get mad, not for the inevitable supression of the citizens here, but rather, for those who have been sent into harms way for questionable reasons and kept there with out-right lies.

    It is truely a sobering moment when these blogs are starkly reminded that we are talking about men and women and not principles or ideals. I thank you for posting here. It is important that we hear from you, and we take action.

    My sympathies go out to you and the family of SGT Stephen R. Sherman. You should know that not all of us here back home see him or any other lose in this conflict as a comma.

    I wish the same could be said of the POTUS.

    willyloman,

    The biggest problem we have and the republicans take advantage of is that only 1/3 of the country gives a fu*k one way or the other. When aske din a poll how people feel about the war, they think it is wrong, but they aren’t going to do anything about it, beyond answering a question and maybe signing a petition.

    well, they never declared war in the first place - as mandated by Article I, Section 8 - so the war was completely unconstitutional right from the get go.

    You guys have probably hit the nail on the head with this bunch of criminals, they are up to something and it stinks to high heaven. Just has all the signs of them planing another attack to scare the general population into submission and to distract from the fact that congress is getting closer and closer to exposing them for the criminals that they are.
    When GWB gets cornered he will do something about it…he cares nothing for americans, betcha a million will die from some nuke that Bush makes sure some nut job gets his hands on.
    I already got my survival kit ready when I heard about that “Gut Feeling”. It looked like a setup to me.


  39. Snowball Says:

    Are Senators Lugar and Warner opposing the occupation of Iraq, or are they just trying to salvage the wreckage that is the Reptilescum party and the Bush regime from complete devastation and marginalize the Democratic opposition. This bill is nothing but double-speak and rhetoric with no teeth that will enable Bush to call for further escalation as a “new strategy.” The more Republicans change, the more they remain the same.

    Bush: America’s first remedial president


  41. Furious Says:

    In Washington yesterday, George W. Bush encountered what might be deemed the “reverse Chicken Little moment” of his presidency. That is, Americans have simply stopped believing his perpetual claims of sunny skies to come in Iraq.

    As the President delivered the interim progress report on his Iraq surge, he was greeted with dropped jaws and incredulous stares across the political spectrum. It wasn’t just anti-war stalwart Jack Murtha calling Bush “delusional.” On Friday, Bill O’Reilly told his former Fox News colleague Tony Snow “you can’t win” in Iraq. And long-time GOP speechwriter and conservative cheerleader Peggy Noonan labeled Bush’s performance “weird” and “strange.”

    It’s not just that 71% of Americans believe U.S. troops should be largely withdrawn by next April or that 79% believe that Bush’s surge has made the situation in Iraq no better or worse. As Noonan reports, even a faithful Republican in Georgia reported “I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.” With the apparent exception of Bush’s own academic experience, a score of 8 out of 18 benchmarks is usually considered a failing grade. It’s no wonder GOP Senators John Warner (R-VA) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) are just the latest to defy President Bush with their proposed Iraq war reauthorization legislation.

    Comment by Snowball — July 13, 2007

    Exactly

    Nothing about opposition to EVERYTHING that has gone wrong, just some old men trying to do right in their minds before they expire. Well my Soldiers never got a chance to make peace with themselves, they died because Men and Women who have NO personal stake in this war made decisions out of fear and ignorance, and all they did was stand by their man oyt of party loyalty instead of country loyalty.

    Senator’s Warner and Lugar IT’S TOO LATE!!!

    It’s too late to act as though you care, to act as if all along you knew this was a disaster because if you knew all along and did nothing then you are negligent.

    It’s too late to stand up to the POTUS and the POTS (President of The Senate: Dick Cheney ?) after years of covering up for him and his defeciencies.

    It’s too late to play elder statesmen when you know that you fall down on your knees like little boys before Rove, Bush, and Cheney.

    It’s too late after all the lies you have told on Faux, Fixed, Fake, Fox News, BSNBC about the conduct, planning, execution of this war by the administration.

    And it’s too late for the over 3650 dead, 27,000 injured Soldiers, Marines, Airman. and Sailors.

    It’s too late.

    We’re tired of our so-called leaders not standing up for what is right until what is wrong is all thats left.

    It’s too late.

    I don’t believe Warner and I don’t believe Lugar. These guys are like Spector and the other Repugs — they talk tough, but they won’t join the Democrats, they now want to wait until October, giving Bush even another 100 days to fiddle around.
    In January, Bush himself said, give me six months — most of us didn’t believe him, but he was given six months anyway.
    Now he says, no, the six months didn’t start until July 1; the 6 months is starting now. These Repugs now want to add even more time to that — these are just tactical moves giving Bush all the time he needs to dump the entire mess on the Democrat who succeeds him.

    All Lugar and Warner are doing is to try to give Bush cover so that he can run out the clock. The Democrats need to keep the pressure on right now. They need to send Webb’s bill back to the committees, telling the public that it is too important to allow the Republics to filibuster, and make the Republics filibuster it again, and again and again and again until the public finally gets the message. Or at least the 26%ers get the message, the rest of us got the message a while ago.

    Correction.

    You would beat off 10 Libs easy.


  69. BARTLEBEE Says:

    Folks. That is not Juan C talking, nor is it Gerald Gibson Jr.

    It is Mr President, who also took the name of a fallen US Soldier, who died in Iraq, fighting the war this sissy supports, with his mouth.

    Gerald Gibson Jr. has either been name-jacked or has proven himself unworthy of the respect of anyone on this site.

    The troll who name-jacked the name of a fallen soldier in order to smear the name of a current soldier is the lowest of the low.

    God, I don’t know why I’m surprised that trolls are capable of this kind of vile filth. I just thought they were having fun. I didn’t realize they were actually THIS disturbed.

    Tired of Fighting thanks for your service. The loss of your friend and comrade is a loss for all Americans. Thank you for protecting the rights of all of us, even these pathetic children who have attacked you today.

    BARTLEBEE,
    It’s me. I’m not mr President or a poll. You know very well I’m against this war and I don’t support American Imperialism.
    I support the resistance!
    How many times have I posted stating this?
    Come on you know me!

    Comment by Mr. President — July 13, 2007 @ 8:32 pm

    Thats right.

    BARTLEBEE,
    You love the death of American troops you traitor.
    It helps your side politically.
    Don’t act so self righteous as you have stated that you hope Russia and China attack us.
    You even said you would cheer them on.
    You are a traitor and a Metrosexual Fag!

    I know I’d love your death Mr Liar.

    In fact, I’d throw a party.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE — July 13, 2007 @ 8:58 pm

    Thanks, Bartlebee. I didn’t think it was Gerald, and it sounded too reverse-trollish to be believeable. But I just don’t know Gerald that well, and I wasn’t sure if maybe my mental image wasn’t way off.


  79. Wayne Says:

    This site has gone to the crapper, with the right winf trolls that have hijacked this site, to Gerald disrespecting a veteran and a soldier that died for his country

    I cannot believe that TP has not pulled thse posts and banned all of these trolls, the right wing ones and the ones like Gerald that claim to be left wing, but I suspect are just another right wing troll trying to discredit we who are opposing the Bush administration and the evil they have done to this country.

    I am sick of it and I will not be back untill this mess is cleaned up from TP’s site and these trolls gone for good

    I will see if I can find another place to discuss issues without having to wade through racist posts, trolls trying to disrupt actuall discussion and posts that bash veterans that are allowed to stay on the site.

    Goodbye to all my friends here, if TP cannot get their act together

  82. BARTLEBEE Says:

    Now Mr President is name jacking me, which is fine. He can’t debate, so he cheats. Its all he can do.

    But his use of racial slurs, and his mocking of a fallen US soldier, is unnacceptable, and I have reported it to ThinkProgress.

    I strongly encourage all decent members on this site to take a moment, click the “CONTACT US” link below, and let TP staff know that racial slurs and mocking of dead fallen soldiers in front of their family members is unnacceptable to you.

    BARTLEBEE,
    Bush sux right homey. He don’t care bout us in da hood.
    Will Hillary come correct ya thank?

    Comment by Jigga Da Nigga — July 13, 2007 @ 9:03 pm

    This comment is a racial slur and if it is allowed to stand will cast an unfavorable light on ThinkProgress and its staff.

    The comment was posted by a poster normally going under the handle of “Mr. President”, who also assumed the name of a Dead Fallen Soldier in order to mock his family member in the same thread.

    Insults and wisecracks are one thing.

    But racial slurs against the African American community and the use of the word “nigga” and “jigga”, is unnacceptable for any website, and should not be tolerated.


  85. BARTLEBEE Says:

    I strongly encourage each and everyone of you to take 2 minutes, and file a complaint with ThinkProgess against this troll, who normally goes by the handle, Mr. President.

    No public website in the US should be permitting racial slurs to and racist hate speech to be published.

  87. BARTLEBEE Says:

    I am sure TP will do the right thing here, but in case they feel that racist language mocking Black Americans is something they want on their site, then I suggest filing formal complaints with the FCC for racist hate speech being published on a public internet website.

    Last time I checked,the FCC “frowns” on that sort of thing.

    I would also suggest contacting the NAACP, and writing leaders like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson,etc, who I assure you can make trouble for a site that promotes hate speech.

    All of which I will be doing if this speech is not removed from this site.


  88. Arthur C. Says:

    I guess that screechy f*ckstick of a troll, with his numerous nicks,

    Woah the Trolls have really gone to the crapper now. Totally coocoo.

    They are probably hitting the crack pipe too often and have gone over the edge.

    What about having a filter that automagically nukes post that have no sensible grammatic structure etc. That would help, Trolls would have to get the neighbor to write for them.

    Of course, no response.

    We need a new website to go to, if you ask me.


  110. Pat Says:

    Hello Barfly…my problem is not with happy hour…my problem is with the trolls. I just cannot figure out why they hate their country so much. They are just flat ruining it. It’s one thing to have a political view, but for at least 26% of Americans, a political view is not enough. They are supporting the most illegal administraion ever to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania. Ave.


  111. veritas Says:

    Hi TrueBlue, Barfly, and TP friends! I’ve gone to C & L, and Kos as the dialogue is much more user friendly there, no trolls to speak of, and people are able to engage in intelligent discourse. I’ve all but given up on TP. The trolls make these threads a mockery for anyone wishing to discuss issues intelligently. Hope to see some of you over there! It’s MUCH better than the way these threads have degraded due to the trolls.


  112. Pat Says:

    That would be the most illegal administration…that needed repeating anyways…dammit


  113. barfly Says:

    Hi True. I guess I’m just like an old mule, who keeps going to the trough long after the well’s run dry.

    Now, I just come here to try out new troll insults…


  114. barfly Says:

    Well, here’s a development sure to monkey-wrench Bush’s Iraq agenda:

    DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, July 13 (Reuters) - Turkey’s army has boosted troop levels in the southeast to more than 200,000, most of them stationed along the border with Iraq, security sources told Reuters on Friday.

    The unusually large-scale buildup, which includes tanks, heavy artillery and aircraft, is part of a security crackdown on Kurdish rebels hiding in southeast Turkey and northern Iraq, said the security sources, who declined to be named.

    NATO member Turkey has refused to rule out a possible cross-border operation to crush Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels, despite opposition from the United States and Iraq.

    The military General Staff in Ankara was not immediately available for comment on the troop numbers.

    The armed forces usually boost troop levels in the spring when PKK rebels based in northern Iraq cross the mountains to carry out attacks against Turkish targets.

    But security forces said the current buildup was larger than normal. One source said that in Sirnak province troop levels were as high as 50,000 compared with 10,000-20,000 normally.

    Highlighting Turkey’s security dilemma, army sources said on Friday two soldiers and two separatist rebels from the PKK had been killed in eastern Turkey during military operations over the past two days.

    Dozens of soldiers and paramilitary police have been killed in an escalation of violence in east and southeast Turkey in recent months.

    The army has repeatedly urged the government — which faces elections this month — to launch an operation against an estimated 4,000 PKK rebels based in northern Iraq.

    Amid public anger over the deaths, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has hinted parliament could be recalled to approve an operation but with just over a week before a parliamentary election has made no move yet to do so.


  115. Pat Says:

    Thanks much Veritas…I’ll see you over there. I’m not online much, but have appreciated what you have had to say.


  116. veritas Says:

    I’ve noticed that the threads at other sites are much more timely than TP who doesn’t even put up new news until 9:00 or so in the morning and, other than trolls littering the threads all night, sifting through it to locate anything resembling intelligent conversation has all but disappeared. My opinion is that if TP doesn’t do something about the troll blabber soon, I fear that most people will simply find other blogs who care about the quality of their discussion venue.


  117. veritas Says:

    Thanks, Pat! I echo your sentiments and enjoy your posts as well. For a while I simply stopped even reading the posts here and then realized when I returned that they’d degenerated even more. If I want to listen to a group of infantiles, I’ll go to my local nursery school instead.

    Hope to see you on some of the better blogs soon!

    Well, as bad as Bush is, he never sold weapons to America’s enemies, and then lied about it to the American public. I think it’s a tie in that department.

    And now, for Barfly’s tip of the day: When confronted with a bleeding wound in an area of the body not suited for bandaging, the use of SuperGlue to close the wound is very effective, and used in this manner in many emergency rooms..

    Dunno… was it a military thing, like Velcro? I know Post-its were kind of an accident. A researcher at 3M came up w/ a glue that wouldn’t stick very well. Someone else had an idea - let’s try it on these little pads, and it became 3M’s biggest money maker.

    God finally sent him a vision; what he looks like thru the eyes of others. That was all it took.

    Since its heralded beginning, the powerful adhesive known as Super Glue has enjoyed a rich history - including an imaginative element of mythology! Though urban legend describes the glue as an accidental solution to battle wounds during World War II, its actual evolution is a little different.

    The original cyanoacrylates (the chemical name for the glue) were discovered in 1942 in a search for materials to make clear plastic gun sights for the war, and scientists stumbled upon a formulation that stuck to everything that it came in contact with. However, cyanoacrylates were quickly rejected by American researchers precisely because they stuck to everything! In 1951, cyanoacrylates were rediscovered by Eastman Kodak researchers Harry Coover and Fred Joyner, who recognized its true commercial potential, and it was first sold as a commercial product in 1958.

    So, Super Glue came out the same year I did ;)

    Look, I know that Mr Pee has gone really overbard ad probably ruined the TP foprum for many single-handedly, and TP wll probably come back soon with registration requirements. I’ll miss this free-wheeling atmosphere, but maybe it’s for the best.

    But let’s consider what drives poor Mr. Pee to act the way he does.

    He’s clever for his age, but not early as clever as he think he is, and plus he’s probably scared sh!tless about entering high school in a couple of months. He’s obviously not very popular (his posting patterns on a Friday night confirm that) and his parents don’t really pay him much attention either.

    He’s found a place where he can get attention, even if it’s negative, and for Mr. pee, that’s better than being lonely. So when TPers start to shun him, he creates new IDs and starts conversations with himself.

    Yeah, it’s pathetic, and destructive, but when you’re a teenage right-winger, what’s a boy to do?

    I guess I’ll check out C&L too. See you there.
