mara LIARSON on Brit’s Special Report kept trying to spew this crap the entire segment tonight. This was in the DNC talking point fax from early this morning.

The official said it is highly unlikely that Bush will withhold or suspend aid to the Iraqis based on the report.

Course they won't. It's just tax dollars they're tossing down this money pit.

A legislature having trouble getting things done? When has this ever happened anywhere before? ;-)

Mark my words:

We will rue the day these politicians and other Americans began to undercut our troops and the mission.

Think Chamberlain.

Think Post-Vietnam Democrats.

figured it’d come to this.
A swift and decisive military campaign followed by some of the most inept and clownish post-conflict planning we will ever see.

I just want our troops to know they exceeded our expectations.....like they always do. They did everything that was asked of them, and more.

It’s a stampede. And I do not see any turning the herd this time.

We’ll see. If the GOP abandons Bush on Iraq, I abandon the GOP permanently.

Crap and more crap. They just hate that we are winning. They think they can tell Bush what he is thinking, and they base it on the fact that the Conservative Base just yelled at some strays in the Senate about Immigration Reform despite all of Bush's hopes to fix this problem by compromising. But, they don't understand the yelling and hollering that would occur if our Government attempted to surrender to Al Queda.

The Base still doesn't believe that any one is that stupid, but they are starting to appreciate the fact that the Democrats like in 1864 have bet everything on the United States being defeated.

This is a losing hand, and one that always draws the most severe sanction the society can dispense. The Republicans tried to bet against the US in WWII for politics, and it cost them 40 years till they could get back into power in Congress.

You beat me to it. I’d like to stop paying taxes and have my records bleached from all federal offices until the legislature starts doing its job instead of being a partisan black hole.

We need to whip the herd as we just did on immigration.

The President will veto anyway but we have to fire some asses in '08.

I see the same thing. I think there really was very little time put into post-war planning, even though we see that that is what is keeping us there. Bush will go down in history as one of the most hated presidents of all time. He's even lost most of his base.

The surge must be working. The MSM is be getting pumped full of Middle East petro dollars from Iran, and their masters are demanding results.

Some spiritual insight into what is happening.

This is the time that I am going to favor those who are mine; those who presented themselves daily before me, offering up themselves as a living sacrifice; the sacrifice that is well-pleasing and acceptable in my sight. This is that sacrifice that I am now going to receive and favor. Just like Cain’s sacrifice, I am going to reject those who have offered unto me that thing that was only favorable in their own eyes. Now is the time that I am going to exalt my sheep with my favor; those who have allowed for me to prepare their hearts to receive the love of my favor, they shall receive the fullness of kingdom. It is not going to go well for those who have openly mocked me with their unbelief of my words and their doubts concerning my promises. I am going to spew these out of my mouth. This is the time that I am going to judge all those who have refused to judge themselves; the judgment of my correction that would have allowed for them to escape the coming judgment and shame.

Great storms of fire coming down upon all those who have mocked me in unbelief and refused my love. My love would have cast out all of their fears had they received my love, but now they shall see great hurricanes of fire arising and coming forth in their thoughts with all manner of fears, and anxieties, and stress, and terror, and worry; from which they shall not be able to find any rest. Those wicked ones who refused to take up their crosses to decrease in self, having hardened their hearts towards the love of my correction, shall have great exploding volcanoes of hatred and bitterness coming forth suddenly in them, just as Cain had, when they witness the great favor of my love coming upon those wise ones who prepared their hearts for my coming. Then shall come great tornadoes of confusion and madness into the hearts and minds of the uncorrected who would not have my love to rule over them, when they see the light of my judgment shining upon the shame of their “self-love”; the love which they trusted and delighted in rather than me”, says the Lord. “O they praised me with their mouths and they honored me with their lips, but their hearts would not draw near to me nor allow for my love to enter in; now they shall the reward of fire instead of the refreshing water of life.

including one by Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Ben Nelson, D-Neb., that would require U.S. troops to abandon combat missions.

Why don't they just pass legislation requiring the islamo-fascists to abandon their jihadi attacks?

Lamar is one of the lost.

I have labeled him a muddleheaded meddler.

Hence forth he is known as muddlehead.

“The facts are not in question,” the official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity

Well, they say they are on target for September and they did not recess and they went to work.

Hopefully, something can happen with the surge and we do not lose our resolve.

And our politicians should not be running Iraq.
