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.

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.
Utter BS.
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.
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.

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

Hence forth he is known as muddlehead.

Hopefully, something can happen with the surge and we do not lose our resolve.
And our politicians should not be running Iraq.
Damn the reports, full speed ahead!
I was able to listen to my Congresswoman tonight after she just got back from Iraq and she isn't going to mold to the MSM and how bad things are.
I appreciate my vote of 2006 more than any vote I placed since 1976 for Congress after hearing Michelle Bachmann on Jason Lewis tonight!
Of course the MSM won't cater to what she had to say about Iraq while she was there and what her directive is toward our President and his Iraq directives.
Our own US Congress is no better.
Honestly, the notion of writing down a list of "targets" in D.C. for the Iraq government to "meet", as if that accomplishes something, has always struck me as pretty loopy. If the Iraqi government had "met its targets" what would that have met? What does that have to do with the reality of life on the ground in Iraq? This is stupid bureacratic-think and it's dominating our war debate.
One likely result of the report will be a vastly accelerated debate among President Bush's top aides on withdrawing troops and scaling back the U.S. presence in Iraq.
I wonder if this isn't the real point, that Bush really wants the cover to withdraw troops, so he allows "targets" to be set and now can use this as cover. This is just one possibility but it illustrates perfectly why this notion of "targets" shouldn't be taken seriously.
Also being drafted are several Republican-backed proposals that would force a new course in Iraq, including one by Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Ben Nelson, D-Neb., that would require U.S. troops to abandon combat missions.
Stupid. Why? So U.S. troops should remain in country but would be forbidden from engaging in combat missions? What's the point? May as well withdraw then. Again, (R)s prove themselves the stupid party.
Collins and Nelson say their binding amendment would order the U.S. mission to focus on training the Iraqi security forces, targeting al-Qaida members and protecting Iraq's borders.
WTF. What the hell is the difference between a "combat mission" and a mission to target Al qaeda members? Presumably they'd have to consult lawyers at all times. Idiots.
"My goal is to redefine the mission and set the stage for a significant but gradual drawdown of our troops next year," said Collins.
May I ask why?
Does anyone ever ask these people why they care so much that we have a military contingent in Iraq?
The biggest problem is this administrations adamant refusal to let the troops actually do their job, which is KILLING PEOPLE. They seem to just be sending more of them into the battle, apparently for show, and not easing any of the ridiculous restrictions they’re operating under.
Unfortunately, the failure of the Iraqi government to make progress can only be expected. Iraqis did absolutely nothing to fight for their own freedom, they let us do it. Even when it was clear we were going to win, they didn’t raise one hand to help. Following our victory, they’re sitting around letting us do the legwork clearing terrorists out of their cities.
Where would America be, if our forefathers hadn’t had the mettle and the courage to fight for themselves? Where would America be, if we’d just waited around for someone else to liberate us, then expected them to protect us forever after that?
I’ve come to doubt that success in Iraq is possible, if only because Iraqis themselves are unwilling to succeed. The old leading-the-horse-to-water-but-no-drinking cliche comes to mind.
You can only do so much for someone before they have to stand on their own. It kind of bothers me that so many are willing to babysit forever, when baby should be learning to take care of itself.
It seems to me that the Associated Press and the Demonrats in congress are working 24-7 in concert to screw over our military. Maybe it should be called the Asocialist Press or the Associated Left..........
