People who don’t wish for failure, tom, don’t act and speak the way you do. They don’t say “when we fail.” The mind will tell the truth of itself, regardless of what you try and cover up, or even how dishonest you are with yourself. Typical liberal though, it’s the “everybody says we’re failing” mantra, just like the “all scientists agree” mantra of the global warming idiots. Have the courage to admit both to yourself that you want failure for petty partisan political reasons, and that YOU want it, don’t keep up the puerile attempt to pass it off as a majority opinion by inventing a “consensus.” have the courage to drop the group think BS.

Intellectual dishonesty, the trademark of the modern libersl…

I don’t desire failure, Severian, if I did I’d be a supporter of this adminstration. I’m just being realistic. Most reasonable observers of all stripes give this surge little chance to succeed.

GWR – I think its safe to say the Democrats do not have the ability to obstruct Bush’s war “progress”, unless they defund the War – which they won’t. Now they’ll have to give Bush what he wants, but hopefully hold him to his January declaration that America would “hold the Iraqi government to the benchmarks it has announced.” Really, George? Great. Let’s get that in writing. In a bill that funds the troops.

When these benchmarks fail to be met by next year – tom

Hmmm…notice, when, not if, in that statement, which tells you all you need to know about tom and how he thinks, if you can call it that. He fully expects, dare we say desires, failure. A Freudian slip there eh?

Democrat strategist tom boasts:

The only thing that’ll save em now is the actual demonstration of real progress in Iraq in the next 12-15 months. So, the next battle will be fought over the wording of these benchmarks that will utimately define what “real progress” is.

Ah, but that overlooks one thing: the fact that the Democrats will continue to work against any sort of ‘real progress’, regardless of how it is defined. Considering that the Dems regard the administration – and not the al-Qaeda militias we’re now fighting in Iraq – to be the enemy, they see no reason to be happy about any sort of progress, therefore they’ll persist in their current course of obstruction.

Leslie sum this up correctly: Obviously, a compromise of some sort will have to be reached, because the president cannot keep vetoing bills endlessly.

Now both sides will compromise on a bill that mandates reporting by the admin on progress made toward real benchmarks established. When these benchmarks fail to be met by next year, and are publicly accounted for, you’ll see Repubs jumping off the Support-The-War ship like so many rats.

Couple of things…
I can’t believe these people (Congress) are getting paid to come up with this bill they know is going to get vetoed. So why did they just waste their time? Did they just want to show they had the balls to send it to Bush? Yeesh!
Why couldn’t the middle east keep Pelosi? And does anyone else wish Teddy Kennedy would just stay at the bar and not show up for floor debate? I’m sick of seeing his mug on TV and hearing the alchy slur his words.
Sorry… feeling fiesty tonight.

After Bush vetoes the bill, the nation ought to start a “Starve the Congress” campaign. The idea is since the Democrats want to starve the troops, starve the Congress until they pass a clean funding bill. Put Fat Teddy Kennedy, Charlie Rangel, Jerome Nadler, on a complete starvation diet until they do what is right and support the troops with funds.

Where’s the contact info for Paul Shanklin? I bot a parody for him to sell to Limbaugh. Paul should imitate the President singing “Take This Bill and Shove It!” That would be a parody of the Johnny Paycheck song, “Take This Job and Shove It!” which was the theme song to a movie shot in Dubuque starring Robert Hays and Art Carney, and introduced the “Big Foot” monster truck to the public.

Senate Passes Iraq Withdrawal Plan

Looks like it’s veto time:In an unprecedented slap at President George W. Bush’s war policy, the U.S. Congress on Thursday approved legislation that links withdrawal of combat troops to paying for the war, ensuring a certain veto. Nonetheless, by a

We-el, there’s no doubt that the president is going to veto this bill. But what happens next? Obviously, a compromise of some sort will have to be reached, because the president cannot keep vetoing bills endlessly. (Well actually he can, but there’s a thin line between principled behavior and tantrumic behavior. This is a line that surely the president will not wish to cross.)

Watch. Wait. Be entertained. Following is a list of words and phrases that the mediots will be trotting out, not necessarily in the order listed.

Broder is a liberal of the sort before ‘68 turned them into a Blue Team support squad for cultural degeneration. A Blue Plate special of drugs, defeatism, dysfunction, and generational decline. Broder may be a living fossil, but he harks back to a better time for Dems, the generation before they sluiced themselves down the chute into the tank where the biggest chunks rise to the top.

I would love to comment to Tommy’s post, but how can you?? Is there a single thing of substance in it?? If so I must of missed it. I pray that Bush does veto this travesty of a bill, and I hope that the libs in congress get their heads out of the sand and start listening to the boots on the ground. Where was Pelosi when Gen. Petraeus was giving his briefing?? Was she having tea and crumpets with her hedge fund manager?? Has there been a more pathetic Congress in US history?? Highly doubtful. Just a bunch of pathological liars. When was Nancy going to impose that 40 hour work week for the House?? Why is it she is more concerned about a genocide that happened 90 years ago than what American families are going thru today?? How she can look a national leader in the eye and shake his hand, when that man has been responsible for more assassinations, and causing more anarchy in Lebanon, and not attempt to support her President is flat out wrong. Tommy keep smokin’ when you all lose your edited L in 2008, your gonna need it bud. – Lorica

PCD’S most recent comment was amusing is the first thibg I want to say. And far more importantly it is imperitive that 43 signs the bill that OUR ELECTED MEMBERS of CONGRESS. We are the people and the people are going to go “elephant hunting”in Nov 08. Pressure needs to be placed on the totally incompent Executive branch of OUR government. The damage his edited. –ST Admin has done to this great nation is quite considerable. Just keep it in mind folks

The Democrats would not listen to Jesus Christ if he said things were getting better in Iraq. First, and foremost, CHrist is the head of an evil evangelical church that is at odds with all of the Democrat agenda. Second, Christ is no military expert, yet few Democrats are. Third, if it doesn’t hurt Bush, the Democrats are not interested, even in the salvation of their souls.
