Two Senators Call for New Leader in Iraq

They ignored the fact that BOTH had observed that The Surge is working.....but then, they’re not interested in getting that message out, are they?

[enough_idiocy]

kind of hypocrtical no? maybe they are projecting and deflecting.

[quantim]

Yes, even Rush gave him a bit of a pass yesterday - nonetheless don’t ever trust Levin farther than you can throw him.

Err... um... pardon me, but that’s exactly the point rhombus was making. Levin and fellow dems are praising the surge (military gains) and applaud the troops, because they have realized troop bashing doesn’t fare well with the public. They have shifted their tactic to Iraqi-bashing, with the bottom line “they aren’t worth it, so let’s leave”.

The results, surrender and withdrawal will be the same.

Thanks for correcting me, wouldn’t want to state misinformation. And thanks for recognizing the underlying point I was making, even though premised on a misunderstanding of their election process.

They have shifted their tactic to Iraqi-bashing, with the bottom line “they aren’t worth it, so let’s leave”. (add: “and go help darfur” apparently that’s a more imporant race and central front in the war on terror, or they attacked us or are some threat to us)

i would like to see Levin or Warner step in as an acting Prime Minister for one month in Iraq just to experience what they would be up against and then see how well they fare. Warner needs to go back to being a pretty boy..and Levin ...well he can just go back.

[SolidWood]

Levin can push his glasses up his nose, maybe he’ll get a better view then.

[television is just wrong]

let’s send ms. clinton and ms. pelosi.
that should work well, /sarc

[jimfree]

Can we flip that around and have the Iraqis call for new leadership in the Senate?

“Can we flip that around and have the Iraqis call for new leadership in the Senate?”

Big GRIN. That works for me!

[chimera]

GMTA. I was thinking maybe Levin and/or Warner should take on the job. At least we’d be rid of them over here (for awhile, anyway). D-bags like these are great for criticizing when they are sitting at their cushy seats in the Senate, or maybe riding around in the Green Zone behind armed guards and armored vehicles. But I’d doubt if they’d put their sorry a$$e$ in the line of fire in Iraq.

Yep, and we have to spend more today for cheaper and shoddy.

I read that Maliki has shuffled his cabinet to get the benchmarks the Americans want passed. However, some have noted that it might just be meaningless concessions on paper. Bush says the iraqis have passed 60 laws this year. I suppose that those laws express their sense of what is important to them.
