When Congress Commits Treason

[padre35]

New Dhimicrat Strategy on Iraq?

“This war is lost”

[pillut48]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—these demoncrats are UN-American. UN-Patriotic. UN-Troop Supporting. UN-Godly.
UN-believable. >:-(

God help us all!

[Parmy]

Leaky Levin. Can’t keep a secret.

[tobyhill]

Appropriations are issued every fiscal year, not twice a year, so if the full amount requested is not present the President should veto the whole Defense Appropriations until it is there.

[okie01]

Traitors.

Or incredibly stupid.

Or both.

Mostly the former.

[Libloather]

...target a complete withdrawal from Iraq in nine months.

Cut off funding to the troops in an election year? BRILLIANT!

[cookcounty]

Four and a half years and they feel their first idea coming on. Talk about losers.

[K-oneTexas]

Well, it is the Congress that controls the purse-strings.

That said ... the question is how will Congress allocate it. Vehicles without armor? No ammunition? No gas? Cut meals? Cut airlift?

Although it is Congress power to do so under the Constitution in the end it will bite them back.

[Tennessean4Bush]

I personally hope they do it. It will make certain that the success in Iraq comes under fresh scrutiny in the middle of the presidential election.

[Candor7]

Withdrawal of US troops in 9 months =

1) Turkish slaughter of Kurds

2) The Shiite invasion of Iraq from Iran, under the guise of religious pilgrimage.

3) The funding of a Sunni guerrilla war against the Shia by the Saudi's

4) Nuclear war with Iran and the emerging Axis of China, N. Korea, Russia, Iran and Syria.

So lets just withdraw our troops, let the world go to hell in an ISlamofascist handbasket, and conmvert the USA tyo solar , wind, and alternative energy resources so we all can rid ebicycles to work. Yeah!

And forget that we will fight them as they come up Naragansett Bay.

Man those Dems are sooooo smart!

[dixiechick2000]

Good point.

Can’t wait to hear what Rush says about it.
I bet his take will be close to yours.

[G8 Diplomat]

Democrats' plan for the war, in one sentence:

[seekthetruth]

“Leaky Levin. Can’t keep a secret.”

Right, and the DEMS will fail again! They don’t dare cut funding and know they can’t get away with it if they really tried! Losers all!

[bert]

The proper response is to cease depositing Government funds in Detroit acconts writing

[Rodm]

I’m from Michigan and I apologize for this turd.

[princess leah]

Unfreaken believable....This crowd of dems are beyond LOSERS...Now that the war is going well, they want to promote defeat STILL! This may be the best strategy for the GOP to pick UP seats in the senate!

[ANGGAPO]

Run up the white flag again Nancy.

[mdittmar]

We all have turds in our states,it is up to us to flush them;)

[Owen]

Guys, relax. They are cutting their own throats. They are incrementally funding victory and victory is unfolding — and that victory will destroy them in about 9 months.

When the Iraqi government is asking for a permanent US base and offering to pay for it, the Democrats might very well lose the Senate as well as the WH.

It’s all about funding victory. Get the money to flow. As long as Petraeus has time to put victory into place, this century will belong to the US.
