Boehner Caught Shifting His Own Benchmarks On Escalation
Boehner Caught Shifting His Own Benchmarks On Escalation
On Jan. 23, 2007, just weeks after President Bush announced his escalation plan in Iraq, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said on CNN that we would know if the troop increase would “work” within “60 to 90 days“:
Q: How long can you and your membership give the president and give the Iraqi military, before you say, you know what, you’re not doing your job?
BOEHNER: I think it will be rather clear in the next 60 to 90 days as to whether this plan is going to work. And, again, that’s why we need to have close oversight, so that we just don’t look up 60 or 90 days from now and realize that — that this plan is not working. We need to know, as we — as we’re — we move through these benchmarks, that the Iraqis are doing what they have to do.
Ninety days passed, violence levels remained high, yet Boehner refused put his words into action. Over the course of the seven months since Boehner first offered his original deadline, the GAO reports that violence “remained unchanged.”
Now it appears Boehner has completely forgotten his earlier pledge. Yesterday, he claimed that the escalation has been in effect “only for a couple of months“:
The GAO report really amounts to asking someone to kick an 80-yard field goal and criticizing them when they came up 20 or 25 yards short. Rather than weighing whether or not Iraqis are making progress toward meeting goals, it asked whether or not they’ve met them — even though Operation Phantom Thunder has been underway for only a couple months. That’s an unfair way to judge our troops’ progress, and the report was designed to guarantee an unsatisfactory result.
After admitting the escalation began in January, Boehner is now moving the goalposts in order to stay the course in Iraq.
UPDATE: Atrios has more.

September 5th, 2007 at 1:07 pmCome on, you don’t expect a Republican to be anything other than a hypocrite, do you? What unrealistically high expectations you have.
They are all changing their tunes now that they think they have the political cover by Bush’s propaganda machine. And they are all going to be very surprised when they find out that the American public isn’t buying the propaganda this time and will hold them responsible for their lack of action.
The 2008 election is going to be a rout. The Republicans will be lucky if they retain 1/4 of Congress and 1/3 of the Senate. And it will be a well deserved rout at that.

September 5th, 2007 at 1:13 pmboohoo!
September 5th, 2007 at 1:13 pmwas he crying and wearing that pink tie when he decided to lie….. AGAIN….
September 5th, 2007 at 1:13 pmBoehner sez:
We’re not the ones who kept saying that the field goal was kickable.
We’re not the ones who lied and said that the field goal had to be kicked.
We’re not the ones who repeatedly requested mulligans when it became apparent that kicking a 80-yard field goal was impossible.
We’re not the ones who held our team hostage, vowing to never leave the field until the impossible field goal was kicked successfully.

September 5th, 2007 at 1:14 pmBush tells biographer: ‘I do tears’
By CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press Writer
AP PhotoA tear runs down President Bush’s cheek as he takes part in a Medal of Honor Ceremony for Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham of Scio, N.Y., Thursday, Jan. 11, 2007, in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Bush granted journalist Robert Draper several extended interviews in late 2006 and early 2007, as well as unusual access to his aides, for the book “Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush,” which went on sale Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2007. In the book Bush is quoted as saying, “I’ve got God’s shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I’ll bet I’ve shed more tears than you can count, as president. I’ll shed some tomorrow.”
WASHINGTON –Under that famously self-confident exterior is a president who weeps - a lot.
President Bush told the author of a new book on his presidency that “I try not to wear my worries on my sleeve” or show anything less than steadfastness in public, especially in a time of war.

Here’s another story for you, Bigfoot. You may have missed it because it hasn’t been discussed AT ALL in the mainstream media. This one article and that’s it!
NEW YORK TIMES (8/12/07):
Indicted Fund-Raiser Resigns
AMES, Iowa, Aug. 11—A top fund-raiser for Mitt Romney who was indicted this week in Maryland over a $32 million fraud scheme has resigned from the campaign, a Romney spokesman said Saturday.
A federal grand jury in Maryland unsealed a 23-count indictment of the fund-raiser, Alan B. Fabian, 43, on Thursday on charges of money laundering, mail fraud, bankruptcy fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice. Mr. Fabian, who was one of 35 co-chairmen on Mr. Romney’s national finance committee, ran up $32 million in fake purchases with his consulting company, Maximus Inc., based in Northern Virginia, and pocketed the money, according to the indictment.
This story is NOT developing. Bigfoot, why would the media spend lots of time developing a story about a fundraiser for Clinton and not develop a story about one of Romney’s people who is much more than simply a fundraiser?
September 5th, 2007 at 1:27 pmComment by Master P — September 5, 2007 @ 1:14 pm
The Democrats hold very slim majorities in both the House and Senate. If They can’t persuade some republicans to vote their way then nothing much will happen until after the next election. To hold the democrats responsible for this congress is allowing yourself not to understand how congress works (or not work depending on what side of the aisle you stand)
I hold all accountable and don’t blindly follow one side or the other.

In the 2008 elections, with the coming Democratic landslide of epic proportions, the Republicans will virtually disappear as a viable political party (except for their Senatorial hangovers, due for removal in 2010 and 2012) unless we allow them to Diebold us again and hack, rig and steal our Democracy electronically with computerized “voting machines.”

I think it was discussed on Hardball yesterday. There was a reference to what one of Bush’s cousins said about growing up with him. Apparently, when Bush was a little kid, he would change the rules of the game if he started to lose. And even when that didn’t work and he kept losing anyway, he then took the ball away with him and walked home.

This is a silly misconception. We like Jesus, actually. Especially all that stuff He said about nonviolence and peace and helping the poor. We just think it’s a shame that so many people who call themselves Christian don’t seem to share His views on these topics.
September 5th, 2007 at 2:09 pmIf a guy comes up 25 yards short on an 80 yard field goal, it means that field goal is too damn long to expect anyone to make. It’s simply not an achievable mission. Expecting him to add 25 yards to his maximimum kicking distance is not even remotely plausible.

Which COPIES of those laws should everyone follow, the ones YOU say are god’s laws? And which GOD are we talking about, there are so many to choose from. Even in Christianity you have TWO gods to follow, the one from the old testament and a different one from the new testament.

September 5th, 2007 at 2:44 pmthe reid and dachle money doesn’t matter, o bigfoot.
the abramoff matter involves taking money to influence a vote.
daschle has a constituency which very clearly includes native american tribes. there is no correlation, no amount of money that would influence him to vote in favor of a bill restricting the expansion of tribal gaming, as it protects his constituents’ interests. had he voted AGAINST the bill, it would be a different matter.
reid has a constituency which very clearly includes the gambling industry. once again, there is no amount of money that would influence him to vote in favor of a bill restricting the expansion of tribal gaming, as it protects his constituents’ interests. and again, had he voted AGAINST the bill, it would be a different matter.
otherwise, politicians in washington take contributions to their political action committees from lobbyists. it’s par for the course. both harry reid and tom daschle have received money relating to native american and gambling interests in the past. there’s no story there.
many of the republicans that took money from abramoff in connection to the tribal gaming bill had no connection whatsoever to gambling or native american interests. their acceptance of the money was, in effect, the taking of a bribe to influence their vote.
September 5th, 2007 at 2:47 pmOK, Bigfoot, from your WPost article: “Democratic lawmakers who responded to inquiries for this article said that any money they received from the tribes had nothing to do with Abramoff. They were quick to say they did not know the man.”
And, your philantropy.com article is a distortion. Conservatives are more likely to regularly attend church. Since churches make their living by reaching in your pocket when you go there, conservatives would always seem to give more to charity.

So Bigfootinmouth, do you have anything to add to the subject at hand or are you going to just throw feces on the wall? You seem rather obsessed with Mr. Hsu. I wonder why that is? It is a non story and will continue to be a non story. Even though the right has been harping on Mr. Hsu ad nausium, the people don’t seem to care. And why is that? Probably because they realize that candidates can’t do a background check on every contributor to their campaigns. Also, I would think that the Rethugs should be careful where they put there feet. I’m quite sure that there are a lot of people investigating every contributor to the Republican candidates and we will soon find out that they have been taking campaign contributions from pornographers and other unseemly types (because they have done this in the past).

September 5th, 2007 at 2:53 pmBigfoot, a little exercise in critical thinking for you: with a Bush Justice Department run entirely by conservative republicans, I would think that if there was the slightest evidence to support an indictment, at least one or two Dems would have been indicted by now in the Abramhoff scandal. But, no Dem has been indicted for connections to Abramhoff. Does that tell you anything at all?
September 5th, 2007 at 2:54 pm“Among the biggest beneficiaries were Capitol Hill’s most powerful Democrats, including Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and Harry M. Reid (Nev.), the top two Senate Democrats at the time”
So, there was something wrong with Reid and Daschle receiving contributions from Indian tribes. Now I wonder why that would happen. Could it be that their states have numerous Indian reservations? Nah…couldn’t be that. Both Reid and Daschle worked to try to improve the conditions of the Indians whereas Abramoff stole from them. They have been receiving campaign contributions from Indians for many years before Abramoff came along to rip them off.

Hahahah, republicans fire prosecutors that are working on cases that could send their criminals to jail. Carol Lam was following dirty defense contractors straight back to the white house….STRAIGHT back…
Keep screaming about how you know there was no crime, but they are fighting tooth and nail to avoid discussing it for SOME reason..hmmm.
This wasnt a routine housecleaning like clinton did, it was targeting only specific prosectors, and clinton never fired any that were invesigating trails leading back to his whitehouse…
Republicans for all their hollines are going through pains to avoid putting their hand on the bible and telling the truth. You legal scholars insist no crime was committed, and yet it seems impossible to get a bush aide on the stand under oath.. I’ll answer, as long as I dont have to swear to tell the truth..but I have no plans to lie, honest…
They claim executive privledge while denying bush was involved in anything….
Get off it Bigtwat, you truly think Jesus would be pro-big business, pro-death penalty, pro nuclear genocide like you? I don’t dislike Jesus in the least.. I have no reason to believe he could have forseen that his name would some day be used as a justification for hate and division by people like you and daryll. Then again Daryll thinks we should kill people who mouth of to thier parents and couples who have sex while the woman is on her period. It says so in the bible so it must be true… Do you agree?
