John Murtha Is On The Attack!

  Rep. John Murtha ( bio, voting record), D-Pa  has taken the lead, which neither Nancy Pelosi or any of the other Democrats in Congress have had the balls to do, by threatening to prohibit U.S. action by our military against Iran without the okay by the  congress. This is after the GOP went out and paid off a few war veterans who to oppose the war resolution that the Congress is voting on on Friday.

  Rep. John Murtha ( D-Pa.), said he would seek to tie future deployments in Iraq to troops meeting high standards of training and getting enough rest between combat tours. Murtha said he believes the Army may have no units that can meet those standards, meaning that Bush's attempt to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq would be effectively thwarted.

Murtha, who has been among Congress's foremost opponents of Iraq war policy, also said he is considering attaching a provision to a looming war spending bill that would bar U.S. military action against Iran without congressional approval.

"This may become the first time in the history of the United States Congress that it has voted to send a new commander into battle and then voted to oppose his plan that is necessary to succeed in that battle," Bush said.

   Bull shit Bush! The Congress did not know, the Dems didn't anyway, that you and you cast of characters were cooking up evidence and forging data to get the Congress and the citizens of America to support your sorry ass!

     Mr. Bush, your game is coming to an end and not nearly soon enough!

Bush Appeals To NATO For More Troops In Afghanistan

"When our commanders on the ground say to our respective countries `We need additional help,' our NATO countries must provide it.As well, allies must lift restrictions on the forces they do provide so NATO commanders have the flexibility they need to defeat the enemy wherever the enemy may make its stand."    George Bush   AP

   Since when has this dumb ass become concerned about Afghanistan? If this idiot had let our troops do their jobs in Afghanistan in the first place, we wouldn't have the fighting going on that we are now seeing with the re-surgency of the Taliban.

   If George Bush has added a few more troops to the group that we already had in in the country instead of deciding to send the most of them to Iraq, we would have no problem in Afghanistan and more than likely the U.S. would have had Bin Laden in custody ,if not dead.

"The alliance was founded on this principle: an attack on one is an attack on all. That principle holds true whether the attack is on the home soil of a NATO nation or on allied forces deployed on a NATO mission abroad," he said. "By standing together in Afghanistan, NATO forces protect their own people."

   The Pentagon is sending some 3,000 of our troops to Afghanistan that were due to go to Iraq, putting our number at 27,000.

                    IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!
