   What Happened To Will Of The People?

We. Do. Not. Want. This. Damned. War.

This entire country is overwhelmingly against this war and the Bush Administration acts like we have no say so in it. He’s keeping America’s kids over there dying in this mix of quicksand and blood and faux patriotism. Why don’t we count? Why is this entire Congress of millionaires and elitists not listening to us? Why doesn’t our Emperor know that we could care less about his legacy? We don’t give a rat’s ass about what history books will say about him because we already know how posterity will cast him and there is nothing he can do to change that. We are goddamned tired of seeing Americans falling behind, losing our rights and our healthcare while he and his advisors spend our tax dollars in Iraq and give each other medals.

I hope the incoming Democrats know this.

Harry Reid To Support Troop Increase?

    On Sunday,Harry Reid (D-Nev.)  said that he would support a troop increase in Iraq if it was only for the short-term and part of a withdrawal plan.

    "If it's for a surge, that is, for two or three months and it's part of a program to get us out of there as indicated by this time next year, then, sure, I'll go along with it," he said  on ABC's "This Week" program.

     Hell will freeze over and our troops will leave Iraq all at the same time next year, Harry. I think that Mr. Reid is hanging out with to many of those Kool-aid drinkers around Washington and has or is losing his marbles!                                                            Michael d

    Sen. Edward Kennedy ( D-Mass.)  had other ideas when he heard what Reid had said. "I respect Harry Reid on it, but that's not where I am," he said. "The generals who have testified before the Armed Services Committee think that we would add to being a crutch for the Iraqi civilian government in not making the right judgments and decisions. I think that is a persuasive case and is one that I support." Kennedy said on Fox News Sunday.
