Turban Durban and Hairball Reid just completed doing a Democratic response
Senators Chuckie and Babs Boxer boycotted the speech.

Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a rat's a$$ what these vile pieces of garbage have to say!

What the he!! did a Republican have to say? I keep hearing how the Republicans hold ALL branches of government, but I rarely hear anything from a Republican. When I do, it comes from a faux pubbie, such as sphincter, meInsane, goober graHAM etc.

I'm so sick of it!!!

NPR this morning said that the Dems were boycotting because of his statements against Israel (Israel being the agressor, not Hizbollah.)

I wonder which it really was?

No. Previously, Lynn Woolsey invited Sheehan, wouldn't surprise me if it was her again, but take your pick, there are plenty of sympathizers.

Murtha for one, he may be paying her back for his Pinko
Achievement award.

I think they all act like spoiled children when they don't get their way. I say a good a** whooping in November should do the trick. When they can play nice with other people they can come back. Until then, grow the f**k up!!!!!

Al-Maliki was interrupted briefly by a shouting demonstrator wearing a pink T-shirt that read....

Can't the AP get even the most simple of facts right? Every picture showed the Pinko wearing a white tee shirt with the message on it. Who edits AP's copy before it hits the wire?

TOTAL HYPOCRISY. The fact that this guy can stand there and say those words and yet support the terrorists in Lebanon?

He is no friend and I am afraid we will find that out.

Iraq will join some other Arab League nations in condemning Hizbollah's attacks on Israel, Iraq's foreign minister told U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday, as Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki addressed a joint meeting of Congress.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari told lawmakers that Iraq will join Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt in condemning Hizbollah, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada told reporters.

"Let me be very clear," al-Maliki said. "This is a battle between true Islam, for which a person's liberty and rights constitute essential cornerstones, and terrorism, which wraps itself in a fake Islamic cloak."

He lies! True Islam is a "religion" of death. Always has been, always will be.
Not one more American life for Islam.

From http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060726/ap_on_go_co/us_iraq_14

Asked about talk among Democrats earlier of boycotting al-Maliki's address, White House press secretary Tony Snow said, "Let me try to explain democracy to people on Capitol Hill. It involves such rights as free speech and freedom of opinion.

"The president is not a puppeteer in this case. He's not pulling the strings of Prime Minister al-Maliki. Prime Minister al-Maliki is the duly elected leader of a sovereign state, and as a result, has rights to his opinions."


This is an excellent point. All of the complaining about al-Maliki's position on the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict overlooks a profound reality: democracy is being practiced in Iraq.

It also dispells the common anti-war tripe about the Iraqi government being a Bush puppet.

The concept of democracy is truly elusive to the anti-war left, which likely explains their offense to the Iraq achievement.

I know that and so should every guard who scrutinizes each and every guest with a ticket to a gallery seat. Medea and her sidekick, Gael Murphy should only be allowed in, if there is no by-law that could prevent their entry, with an agent with a taser sitting next to them.

The Left really believe in totalitarianism. That is why they can criticize President Bush for doing something, or for not doing something. They wish that the Leader of the US was a magician.

That is why they use "Imperialism" as a talking point. They are the believers in Imperial Powers.

"Iraqis want the troops to leave, bring them home now," the woman shouted repeatedly. "Listen to the Iraqis."

He is an Iraqi, you moron, elected by the political process the Iraqi people gave a thumbs up to. Last I checked, Code Pink didn't have any authority to speak for Iraqi's.

Several Democrats critical of al-Maliki attended and participated in standing ovations as the Iraqi leader spoke. It was not immediately clear whether any lawmakers made good on a threat to boycott the address.

Oh? So the cowards that have undermined Iraq and her people, and our troops and our mission, the ones that stated they'd boycott and speak to him as though HE'S the enemy...most of them didn't have the guts to boycott and instead applauded enthusiastically?

Which is it Dems? Is he the enemy or is he our ally? Where do YOU stand Dems? Last I knew you had checked out of the WOT, now suddenlly you're back in? Do you support Hezbollah, Dems, in your demands for a "proportional" response or do you support Israel's right to self defense against terrorists?

Do you support the madman in Iran? Do you like Baby Assad more then you do our President? Fess up Dems, the world knows with whom you've aligned.

Asked about talk among Democrats earlier of boycotting al-Maliki's address, White House press secretary Tony Snow said, "Let me try to explain democracy to people on Capitol Hill. It involves such rights as free speech and freedom of opinion.

LOL!!

The reality is that the Iraqi Prime Minister is more of an ally then our own Democrats are. The fact he is governing over a people that have been free less then five years with ingrained prejudices while trying to form a unified "tolerant" government isn't easy. What's the Dems excuse for going to parties with Arafat, huh? What's their excuse for tolerating Israeli's be blown up by rejected thugs from other middle eastern countries (Palestinians).

Hey, Dems, Lebanon has tolerated Hezbollah too! Allowed them in their government. Should Lebanon be disbanded completely? Is Lebanon a waste of our financial resources? Speak up Dems! Call for the break up of Lebanon because they've supported anti-semites! Be consistent for once in your damned lives.

Seems the only ones that Dems want to target are those struggling to reform the middle east. While they tolerate Iran, Syria, Arafat and the like.

Isn't that a FRENCH salute?

In the French salute, the arms are fully extended upwards. while the words " Ne tirez pas! ", are yelled vociferously.

The salute is a Muslim one, from the position taken immediately before one prostrates oneself to Allah during recitation of the shahadah. It is a gesture of ultimate respect. It will play well in Iraq. This man has a good heart. Lets hope it is a tough one.

When he said:

""The fate of our country and yours is tied. Should democracy be allowed to fail in Iraq and terror permitted to triumph, then the war on terror will never be won elsewhere,"

I hope the Democraps and RINOs were truly listening. These words have the weight of history and may come to haunt all of our treasonous politicians and press for a hundred years or more, if the battle is forfeit.

The concept of democracy is truly elusive to the anti-war left, which likely explains their offense to the Iraq achievement.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It took me a while to figure this out but I discovered that Liberals and Socialists embrace totalitarianism in the name of their self defined Liberal Utopia. All Utopias end with no freedom, and have only a dictation by the state of how one must act and speak in a Utopia. We call it Political Correctness Culture, which requires no rational thought.

That is why people like Anne Coulter seek to destroy the idea of a Liberal Socialist Utopia, or of any Utopia for that matter. Freedom is lost on liberals socialists and democrats because of their Utopian culture. They all want HEAVEN on earth right now, an impossibility. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE GODLESS!!!!!

That goes for our RINOs as well, who milk Liberal socialist Utopia merely for the sake of gaining personal power.
