Just snatched this bit of great news off Memeorandum:
It’s time to replace some conservative Democrats in Washington, DC. I just heard from an impeccable source that there is serious concern on the Hill that conservative Democrats in the House will vote with the Republicans to strip any and all restrictions from the Iraq supplemental tomorrow, effectively giving Bush all the money he wants with no restrictions and no effort to hold either him or the Iraq government accountable for anything. I.e., they will vote to continue this war along the same disastrous course because they’re too afraid to challenge George Bush and his failed leadership.
Let me reiterate: This isn’t some idle rumor. The concerns are coming from Hill sources themselves.
Why do you think moderate/conservative Dems are shifting abruptly? As I have been posting for a month now, watch Diyala Province.
Americans want the job done, not a cut and run, Nancy..
fyi
President Bush holding his ground...
Plan B is we lose Iraq, and eventually see much worse here at home than we did on 9/11.
No thanks. I’d rather the fight be in the Middle East then here in the Mid West.

Tribal leaders in the troubled province organize against al Qaeda
In March, we noted the successful model of the Anbar Salvation Council will very likely be replicated elsewhere in regions where al Qaeda has established bases of operation. We singled out Diyala in particular, as al Qaeda's campaign of murder and intimidation was beginning to anger the tribes much as it did in Anbar province. Al Qaeda's establishment of its Islamic State of Iraq, with its capital in Baqubah made the province ripe for a major Coalition operation in the region. In early March, Al Sabaah reported the local sheikhs in Diyala were organizing against al-Qaeda and its Islamic State of Iraq, "which [is] spreading corruption in the province districts." Today, the speculation has become a reality, as "Arab tribesmen in Baqubah have said they will form a tribal alliance to cleanse the Diyala province of foreign fighters and those of the al-Qaeda terrorist network in Iraq."
"Tribesman Sheikh Wameed al-Jabouri told al-Hayat that a number of tribes had signed a cooperation agreement to undertake this mission and to bring the city back to how 'it used to be,'" notes DPA. "The agreement could be considered "a national charter" that proves their rejection of the actions of the terrorist groups, al-Jabouri said."
Pass, veto, fail to override. Pass, veto, fail to override.
How long can this go on, before something is seriously impacted?
In this, the Democraticans have the overwhelming obligation to do the right thing. They should just go ahead and offer an immediate withdrawal bill, which seems to be their objective anyway. Get it on the floor and up to a vote.
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.’
Kennedy, 1961
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, and we don’t really blame you for despising us, it keeps us up at night, that we shall pay any price, within reason, support any friend, at least until the going gets tough, oppose any foe, for a while and if a Democrat is in the Oval Office, to assure the survival of and the success of the Democratic Party.”
Pelosi/Reid, 2007
I’m with you...no Burkha’s for my beautiful grand daughters....

‘hey badeye, you quit hanging out at LP, good to see ya’
Yep. Too much kook 9/11 theory, not enough politics there these days.
Well, well, well. Looks like we might see the first fruits from some of the rats who won in GOP districts while running as 'conservatives'.
yer telling me, the kook factor and the bashing of the administration at ANY costs is getting to be a downer. but then there are no bannings.
My congresscritter is one of those BlueDogDems, AKA “Conservative Dem” is there is such an animal.
I fired off a letter last week to The Modesto Bee regarding our Blue Dog Dem. I stated that it appears our Blue Dog has become nothing more than Nancy’s lap dog.
It was published this morning.
The host refused to moderate, it got ugly, posters were banned.
Now, its kooks 24/7, and ‘think progress’ is a source for ‘breaking news’....(eyes rolling)
No loss.
House Democratic leaders say the measure shows they refuse to back down in challenging President Bush on a deeply unpopular and costly war. "The president refuses to listen to the American people who want this war to end," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif... Thursday's vote in the House comes as Iraqi lawmakers endorsed a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops and demanded a freeze on the number already in the country. Drafted by the parliamentary bloc loyal to anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, the proposal was signed by 144 members of the 275-member house, said Nassar al-Rubaie, the leader of the Sadrist bloc.The President instead listens to the majority of the American people who don't want a timetable and see plain as day that the Dhimmicrats are voting in line with the government of Iran's proxy stooges in Iraq.
