What's the point of respecting someone's firm commitment to his beliefs when those beliefs are either flat out ludicrous, OR are founded on ridiculous premises?<BR/><BR/>Bush has NO credibility. He has consistently played politics with this war. <BR/><BR/>Generals Abizaid, Casey and Shinseki have all been replaced because he did not like what they said. Shinseki actually advocated a more conservative stance, i.e. 200,000+ troops but Bush refused to listen and instead relied on his own and Dick Cheney's extensive military experience to conclude that this war could be won on the cheap.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do also agree that even if Bush does exactly what the polls suggest, he will still be bashed by the media. The reason is cos Iraq is in SUCH A DEEP MESS that at this stage, there is NO SOLUTION for it and he deserves the blame for screwing this thing up.<BR/><BR/>Democrats have NO plan for Iraq and are trying to deflect attention from that by shining the spotlight on Bush for the catastrophe in Iraq. <BR/><BR/>Republicans have NO plan for Iraq but are trying to fake like they have one.<BR/><BR/>Get real. if Iraq is not already lost, it is certainly a few feet away from that.<BR/><BR/>Last but not least, the number of Republican senators who either oppose the surge or have cast doubts on the effectiveness of it is now in double digits. Bob Novak, a conservative wing nut himself, has made a count and concluded that Bush's plan for a surge will get the support of no more than 19 or 20 REPUBLICAN senators.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, you must be delusional if you think that Republicans in congress are gonna go along with Bush on Iraq for long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-1168625924973322072007-01-12T13:18:00.000-05:002007-01-12T13:18:00.000-05:00WCL,Well, I don't know about smoking crack, but I'...<B>WCL</B>,<BR/>Well, I don't know about smoking crack, but I'm forced to agree with you that there are some pretty lame Republican senators out there.<BR/><BR/>As far as voting goes, the President is the Commander-In-Chief, and he decides how wars should be prosecuted... not the Congress. The Congress can take away funding if they really don't like what he's doing, but they can't tell him what to do.<BR/><BR/>Hey listen... if you don't like the guy, don't re-elect him in 2008. OK? Give the guy a break. At least he acts on his principles and beliefs, unlike those politicians who are swayed by every breeze in the poll numbers. And besides... even if he did everything the polls suggested, the media (and you no doubt) would STILL bash the guy (ABS-ridden as you are).Hawkeye®https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719046062819366641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-1168625239492640352007-01-12T13:07:00.000-05:002007-01-12T13:07:00.000-05:00Beerme,Good to hear from ya!

Colin Powell has said that America is "not winning", which simply translates into losing. Bob Novak reports that the attempt to increase troops will get no more than 20 YES votes from the 49 REPUBLICANS in congress. <BR/><BR/>Success in war on terror my ass... America's war on terror is nothing but a pathetic attempt to showcase its military might without actually achieving any substantive results.<BR/><BR/>As far as those who have no spine, please add the names of Republican Senators Coleman, Voinovich and Brownback to the list, which includes Lugar, Hagel, Snowe and prob Specter as well.<BR/><BR/>Your post is nothing but a lame ass attempt to malign Democrats when anyone who pays attention to the news will be able to figure out how many Republican senators have ditched Bush on IraqAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-1168473417478455242007-01-10T18:56:00.000-05:002007-01-10T18:56:00.000-05:00Hey it's Beerme!Hey it's Beerme!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-1168471503103826312007-01-10T18:25:00.000-05:002007-01-10T18:25:00.000-05:00Rumors of my disappearance are woefully premature!...Rumors of my disappearance are woefully premature!<BR/>I've been getting plenty of emails (in fact I got this one announcing this post!), so I don't know what's up with the bounce-back...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and a Michigoose is something that might cause a Michigander to spill his beer!
