		<description>I watched a good bit of senator Reed (RI) who, up until yesterday, I had no information about.
Now I see that he gives reasoned thoughtful, and convincing arguments to advance his position. Contrast that to the frothing of LIEberman, Graham, or Mitch McConnell. 
Probably, you could read these remarks in the congressional record. This small excerpt is from the story at the top of the page.

    &lt;strong&gt;REED: Thatâ€™s one report I think that bears on this debate. 
The second, as you point out, is the benchmark reports coming out of Iraq, which shows, on the surface, mixed progress. But when you probe beneath, the real critical issues â€” very little or no progress at all on the political issues. The legal actions by the Iraqi government to redistribute oil profits, to incorporate more of the Sunni community into the government, no progress at all.

    And I was there last week, and the prospect of anything changing over the next several weeks or months, certainly through September, is very bleak indeed. So weâ€™re ready, I think, for a vote on the policy. I donâ€™t think we have to wait.

    I got the impression from Gen. Petraeus that he wasnâ€™t waiting. Now he might be overruled by people in the White House and, you know, wait until September. But he seemed very eager to come forward as quickly as possible with a new direction and policy.&lt;/strong&gt;


Once again, this administration seems to be overruling the wisdom of the Generals on the ground, as others have chronicled above.  And once again the American people have their desire to end this occupation (the war ended in may 2003; remember mission accomplished?) stalled, a tactic the Repugs are using to deny Democrats any legislative victories. Meanwhile, those soldiers they &#039;care&#039; so much about are being killed maimed, overextended and lied to.
And you Bushites are okay with this?</description>

Therefore, crimes=impeachment.
How simply elegant. Let the trials begin.</description>

		<description>Here, this ought to get you all howling:  

Mr. Prez and I aren&#039;t trolls, we&#039;re merely the defenders of &quot;Truth, Justice, and the American Way&quot;.

Furthermore, it&#039;s always fun to hear you Bush-Haters sputter your personal insults when you are confronted with unarguable truth.

&quot;O Bigfoot (or is it O Bigmouth?) Gross generalization has been the hallmark of â€œyourâ€ obvious party, the Republicans from time immemorial - I never said I was a Democrat, you did! That was your first mistake and a gross generalization based on my post. I am a registered Independent for your information.

Comment by veritas â€” July 17, 2007 @ 7:42 am&quot;

You apparently read the words, but are unable to comprehend them.  I made no mistake.  

Nowhere in my post did I call you a Democrat.  Personally, I don&#039;t care if you are Democrat or Independent.  However, it&#039;s obvious that you are NOT a conservative who believes in his/her country.  You are merely another irrational Bush-Hater throwing temper-tantrums because he/she doesn&#039;t get his/her way.  And that makes you part of the problem, rather than part of any solution.

Read this and comprehend, I will make it as plain as I can so even you can hopefully understand:

You may personally disagree with the President&#039;s policies, and you have every right to do so, however, your disagreement with the President does not equal a crime.  

This may surprise you:  I have disagreed with the President&#039;s policies at times, and made my disagreement known through the usual methods available through our form of government.  Guess what?  Sometimes my opinions succeed, sometimes they don&#039;t.  Do I get frustrated when my opinion doesn&#039;t succeed?  Sure.  But I don&#039;t hate my President, Elected Representatives, Government, or Country because of it.  Grow up, veritas.

		<description>Petraeus deserves what ever he has coming to him.  He knew better, but let himself be used and American troops die, to further his politico-military career.  We needn&#039;t feel sorry for him--he&#039;ll move on to some high-paying job in the military industrial complex while his troops suffer PTSDs and Iraq War syndrome.</description>

		<description>Just read through all that crap about 9/11 being a hoax, and the nonsense urging the military to disobey orders. You people are priceless sources of comic relief. 

Why donâ€™t you just urge folks to break the speed limit, not wear seatbelts, rob banks, beat their spouses, etc. If weâ€™re going to have anarchy, why not just go all the way? Did I say you all needed to go get some sunshine? I donâ€™t know if that will do it. I further suggest Prozac, Zoloft, or heck, good oleâ€™ Lithium.

<p>Indeed, O. Bigfoot, I was here at the time and when things began to get too kooky (treasonous), I felt it time to leave. But, it was funny while it lasted!!!<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3940696', 400, 400)"></a></p>

Your Democrat heroes have already taken impeachment off the table, havnâ€™t you heard? There will be no impeachment. 

Furthermore, TP trots out an article pertaining to a known Anti-Bush Democrat whoâ€™s merely parroting the usual George Soros talking points, and then you all salivate over â€œyet anotherâ€ example of Bushâ€™s criminal history. What you donâ€™t appear to understand is that Senator Reed has no more credibility on the subject than you do. Why donâ€™t you quit spreading rumours and wait for General Petraeus to speak for himself? I believe heâ€™s quite capable at speaking english.

Veritas. according to most of your like-minded cohorts here on TP (Which, incidentally, when the blogs are printed out on the correct paper, makes excellent TP), this Democracy has ALREADY been hijacked. 

Which is it? Has it already been hijacked, or is it about to be hijacked, only if there is no impeachment, which your Democrat congress has already stated repeatedly will not happen? (Hmm, does this make the Democratic congress a party to the overthrow of the U.S. Democracy as 

O Bigfoot (or is it O Bigmouth?) Gross generalization has been the hallmark of &quot;your&quot; obvious party, the Republicans from time immemorial - I never said I was a Democrat, you did! That was your first mistake and a gross generalization based on my post.  I am a registered Independent for your information.

Take your big foot out of your gigantic mouth before you suffocate yourself!</description>

		<description>Just read through all that crap about 9/11 being a hoax, and the nonsense urging the military to disobey orders.  You people are priceless sources of comic relief.  

Why don&#039;t you just urge folks to break the speed limit, not wear seatbelts, rob banks, beat their spouses, etc.  If we&#039;re going to have anarchy, why not just go all the way?  Did I say you all needed to go get some sunshine?  I don&#039;t know if that will do it.  I further suggest Prozac, Zoloft, or heck, good ole&#039; Lithium.</description>
