Office of Sen. Charles E. Schumer, via Associated Press
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, right, shares a New Year's Eve dinner with U.S. troops in Baghdad Monday, Dec. 31, 2007 during his first visit to Iraq.
"There will be resolution after resolution, amendment after amendment ... just like in the days of Vietnam," Schumer said. "The pressure will mount, the president will find he has no strategy, he will have to change his strategy and the vast majority of our troops will be taken out of harm's way and come home."

God help us! How did NY go so quickly from D'Amato and Moynihan to Schumer and you know who? Schumer is as dangerous as the other senator from NY. He wrote a book about scheming for middle class votes, Positively American: Winning Back the Middle-Class Majority One Family at a Time.

It’s new years eve and I’m just about ready to hit the rack till I came across this article.

I can only wonder how many people does he think he fooled with his stunt? No way did he go there in any kind of fact finding mission. He had his mind made up already and nothing he will see in Iraq nor person he will talk to will change his mind. His only objective is to have the troops leave Iraq ASAP before next year this time.

The whole idea is to lose the Iraq war before Bush leaves office and as time gets closer and closer to that day, the dems will get more and more desperate.

If one of their own gets elected next year, no way in heck will they cut and run then and their first act would be a loss. That is why they are so desperate we should lose this one while Bush is in office.

The love of country nor the troops have anything to do with their agenda. Their speeches, their comments and their smears in the past 6 years speaks volumes of their motives and Chuck’s little trip does not divert from their past.

It will be interesting what he will finally say about it. I think he’s working hard trying to come up with the crap he wants to and still sound credible. It will be a neat trick. I wonder if he can pull it off.

How much would I give to see these protectors of freedom get up and walk away from that political hack? Leave him sitting there in his own hypocritical stew.

You can bet that Schumer was in Iraq to see if the country can now sustain itself and pay it’s own way..His concern for troop morale is admirable but that is a smokescreen..His objective in Congress will be to try and cut US funding so he and the other leftists can start using those funds for their cherished social programs..They have to have something to show what they have accomplished before the people vote them out in Nov..because up to now they have accomplished NOTHING and have blocked everything..Looks like early panic mode for the dumRATS and it is only going to get a lot worse for them...

I’ll be very interested to hear what comes out of Sniveling Schumers mouth, once he gets his betraying ass safely back on US soil.

Re: the meal photo - As a Vietnam Vet, I just can't get over how clean everyone is, and the chairs, and the flowers, and the silver thingies that hold syrup and stuff. And it's all so clean. Could someone tell me, are all the johns 'single holers' too, or do they still have some 3 and 4 holers around?

Something tells me this photo is not the normal situation for the guys kickin' in doors.

Schmuckie's detestable but props to him for making the trip and not making all those other trips at taxpayer expense. Props to him for keeping his mouth shut while overseas, something his Democrat colleagues never mastered.

We'll see what he says when he gets home. He probably suspects we're going to win and wants this trip as an excuse to come up with a new position. His Senate seat is not in any danger. Perhaps he's looking for Harry Reid's job. He can, rightfully, claim that Reid is unfit to lead because he declared the war lost on the eve of victory. Schumer fancies himself an expert on everything so to him it's only natural he should be the Democrat leader on Capitol Hill.

Schumer is a snake in the grass. He’ll get his marching orders from Reid upon his return. He’ll never give Bush or Petraeus a good word.

And anyone who doesn’t believe in and work for a REPUBLICAN victory next year is as bad, or worse than, Chuckie in my estimation.

“I have learned things I don’t think I would have learned by staying in Washington and reading briefing books,” he said. “You have chance encounters with people.”

Did you learn that the Surge is WORKING?
