The Dems are at it again.
They are trying to tie the President's hands. All attempts prior to this have failed because even though they have a "majority" to control the House, that majority is by the slimest of margins, and no republican is going to be known as the "One Who Let the Liberals Have Their Way" among his contemporaries in the Republican party.
As an earlier post stated, the Dems are realizing now that they need Iraq OUT of the War on Terror, because if the coalition wins there, there will NEVER be another Democrat in the Whitehouse for a generation or two. Much to Hillary's chagrin, she is just realizing this now and demanding that all the '08 Democrat candidates who, in '02, voted FOR the war get a mulligan before the primaries start so that they can tell their potential contribtors that they voted FOR it BEFORE they voted AGAINST it. Doesn't this ring familiar to those of us who remember the '04 elections?
It is funny to watch Hilary squirm when it comes to Obama. He is taking "her" money away from her by telling his "potential" Hollywood contributors that he would have voted against giving Bush the ability to take the war to Iraq in '02, and the NSLs in Hollywood are eating out of his hand. She blew her stack when Geffen accused both Bill and her of being liars. We conservatives have been doing it for nearly 15 years, but our comments don't kick up too much stink anymore.
To these Hollywood contributors, hearing a candidate speak like this is like their first exposure to crack or heroine. They want more, more, more...
As stated in an earlier posting, Bush wants Iraq to become an oil-funded democratic ally to Afghanistan since the latter has no access to oil itself and would not be able to defend itself against an oil-funded foe, like Iran. The genius to Bush's plan is that he is placing the democratic bookends of Afghanistan and Iraq to the volumes of tyranny in Iran. It's gucking fenious! His plan is to watch Iran collapse from within in about four or five years. He won't get a Nobel prize nomination for this because he "killed" so many soldiers in the process of bringing democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan. Carter only killed the crews of a few helicopters back in the late '70s.
Wikipedia just told me that Karzai in a Sunni muslim. None in Baghdad seems to care enough to rid the country of the terrorists doing the bombing.
These people who are doing the bombing ought to be taken out of their caves, bound, and delivered to the local law enforcement division. Let the courts there determine their fates much like they determined Saddam's fate.
