I had just told my hubby that I was so enraged that if anybody tells me that they are voting democrat, I will tell them they need their head examined.

His mother is one. Yes, (I love her, but) she needs her head examinined. He agrees.

He’s beating up the guy, whoever it is. The Congresscritter is calling Petraeus a liar and Petraeus is making him look like a fool, not that he needed much help.

there goes that door again.

Now it’s Amb Crocker’s turn to hit this turdball out of the park.

He pretty much disagreed with this guy’s whole premise...

It’s very honest ... and despite some really rude and confrontational affronts from the Dims, these fine Americans are just the best... civil and gentlemanly.

They’re laying it all on the line, emphasizing the privilege it is to serve with such fine men and women who continually re-enlist and volunteer to give their all, to the political situation on the ground, to the threats from Iran and Syria.

Bottom line: they both are emphatic about the huge catastrophic situation that would result if we precipitously pulled out our troops.

We are truly blessed to have these wonderful public servants. God bless them, our troops, allies and contractors.

I’m sure there’ll be a written transcript at some point.

Tomorrow, they go before the Senate .. there’ll be bigger fireworks for sure.

PS Cindy Sheehan was arrested, and several screaming assinine CodePinkos were removed during the beginning hours.

I hope at some point the Gen P tells the committee that he and the Amb. have to leave to be interviewed by Bret this evening! They just pack up and leave!

Wexler is the lovechild of Penn and Maher.

Wexler is the lovechild of Cindy Sheehan and Helen Thomas.

From Drudge:

...”Four anti-war protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct. One of them, who was not named, is being taken to George Washington Hospital “due to complaint of injury” and is also charged with assault on a police officer.”

The other sad part is that if Wexler is ticked, and wants to yell and question the Gen harshly about so many troop deaths, THEN WHY CAN’T HE DO IT IN PRIVATE???????

Any congressman can have meetings with the Gen and the Pres to express their disappointment and anger.

They can even give a presser after and say that they did, but then ADD “I will not comment in public about my meeting because I do not want to aid the enemy in Iraq, who must be defeated”.

Imagine a Dim who would say that.

Most of our parents were/are died in the wool democrats and it doesn’t matter what the dummies do, they’ll vote democrat just because they always have. Doesn’t make it right, but that’s the way it is.

I knew there was a but in this guy...after all that talk of how much he respects the general, the ambassador and the troops.

Yeah, this idiot sitting in DC knows all about the situation on the ground in Iraq. Now he’s meddling in the politics of the Iraqi parliament.

Engel is up...barf

“Americans are dying in someone else’s civil war...” Dude this is the global war on terror, we’re killing terrorists. This is not solely a civil war. These Congresscritters don’t know what they’re talking about.

This guy has a thick NY accent. Hey Engel—FUHGETTABOUTIT, we ain’t gonna surrendah!

The gentelman (yeah right) from NY (another lieing democrat) thanks them both for the service and testimony, he loves the troops, yada yada yada, BUT everything you said here today is a lie.

These people so want us to surrender to AQ its disgraceful. I’m embarrassed that these people represent the United States of America.

Why do they hate this country so much?
