If it wasn't so disgusting it would be funny watching our Congress debate the war. It was like watching my young son when he has a hard school project he doesn't want to do. More time and effort is spent evading and contorting then doing the actual work.
The hubub was caused by Rep Murtha, D-PA a Congressman that served in Vietnam, who has been saying we should withdraw our troops from Iraq. The Democuts, who pile on wherever George Bush is concerned followed suit, with their continuing stream of unfounded charges about the intelligence used to justify the war.
Murtha has been roundly criticized by many Republicans. Democrats respond with great indignity about what they call the unfair treatment of a great war hero, like they did when John Kerry was running for President. These are some of the same people who demonstrated vociferously against the Vietnam war, and threw human waste at the soldiers as they returned home.
The Republicans decided....
CAIRO, Egypt Nov 21, 2005 — Leaders of Iraq's sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called Monday for:
- A TIMETABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL of U.S.-led forces in the country
and
- said Iraq's opposition had a "legitimate right" of resistance.
The conference was attended by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and Iraqi Shiite and Kurdish lawmakers, as well as leading Sunni politicians.
The final communique, condemned terrorism,
>>>>>>but was a clear acknowledgment of the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists<<<<<<
if their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens.
The final communique's attempt to define terrorism>>>>>> omitted any reference to attacks against U.S. or Iraqi forces. <<<<<<<
It also called >>>>>>>for the release of all "innocent detainees"<<<<<<< who have not been convicted by courts.
The statement also >>>>>>>>demanded "an immediate end to arbitrary raids and arrests <<<<<<<<without a documented judicial order."
Now this is what the LEADERS OF IRAQ want.
The Iraqi Leadership has turned on America. They have shown their true colors - the color of Islam first and foremost.
-Video of Iraqi Police helping insurgents,
-casualty figures showing record numbers of attacks per day, up 40 percent from 6 months ago. In fact the last two months have been higher than any point in the war.
Yet with attacks at record highs and our casualties climbing steadily, Iraqi Military/Police casualties are falling? (

Why? ....This Meeting in Cairo of Iraq Leaders says it all.
They have voted to legitimize attacks on our troops!
They have voted to slow down raids and arrests!
They have voted to release thousands of detainees!
Iraqi Leadership has stabbed our troops in the back. They believe our troops are at their beck and call.
Either we get rid of this Iraqi Leadership and make sure a secular Leadership takes over in the December election or we Murthaize it out of there and then let Iraqis see how they like the blood bath of civil war.
We continue winning battles, but instead of winning them for freedom we are winning them for Islam.
No more blood for Islam.
