I have honestly never seen or heard one person say they are even considering this guy for anything, have you?

U.S. Democratic and Republican senators voiced strong concern on Thursday that the Iraq war could spread to neighboring Iran and Syria if the U.S. military were to chase militants across the border.

So, what's the problem

No, he has no fans where I hang out. To be honets they guys I spend most of my time with like McCain despite my entreaties that he is a nut. But he may end up being our nut in 08. Life is a beach.

> I hope it "spills over" and we handle the spill entirely from the air.

Speak softly, but carry a big MOAB.

FR should start running ads against these snobs, that's it you know, they like their cushy jobs and refuse to make decisions that will make them uncomfortable.

What "wing" of the party is [Hagel] catering to?

It would be interesting to see who his major supporters are, from whom he gets funding. Maybe the same ones who demanded from Chaffee that he oppose John Bolton, on the grounds that Bolton "supported Israel too much"?

"If the president concluded he had to invade Iran ... or Syria in pursuit of these networks, I believe the present authorization granted the president to use force in Iraq does not cover that and he does need congressional authority to do that," said Biden."

Aren't these the same Senators that complained when Bush would not go into Pakistan when it came to catching OBL? I remember hearing them scoff on all the talking head shows that we should go into Pakistan to get OBL!!!

A detestable bunch...the lot of them!!

I would pay good money to be able to pistol whip Chuck Hagel.

I'll let you borrow my pistol:

Fine by me. Let's trade Hagel for Lieberman.

Lanny Davis just defined Pelosi/Reid plan. Take the troops out of Iraq and put them in other countries close by! What a plan!!

ROFLMAO!!!!

What countries close by would ever agree to have US troops stationed in them after we cut and run from Iraq? They would just be making themselves the next target and couldn't depend on the US to stay there once things got tough.

It is also interesting to note that no one is calling for us to leave Afghanistan, which is the "good war." The MSM scarcely mentions the casualty figures, 357 dead and over 1,000 wounded. Why aren't they calling for an exit strategy?

No problem senator! Just have one of your little get togethers where you all slap each other's backs and vote on this issue to show the American people just where everyone stands? As you vote, keep in mind that the soldiers that are protecting your sorry ass are being attacked and killed by weapons that are being provided by Iran!!! Ordinary folks would consider that a declaration of war on the United States. What is your take senator?

The new credo of the Senate Girls Fainting Society.
President - Joseph Robinette Biden
Vice President-Chick Hagel
Refreshment Committee- All Senate Democrats except Joe Lieberman

They will in time, you can bet on it!! They are pacified for now because NATO is there. The MSM also never reports on the Iraqi Army casualties either. Someone posted yesterday that over 6000 have died fighting for their country!

The Dem and Rino Senators act like none of them are 'stepping up'...blahblahblah!!! I have nothing but pure contempt for the Democrats/Liberals/Rinos and the Media!
