Warlord Bush Using The Troop Support Propaganda Again

  So a pissed off Bush responded to the House passing a bill that calls for a troop withdrawal by 2008 saying that if the spending is not signed into law by the 15 of April that troops and their families "will face significant disruptions."     Source

    What a load of shit! I cannot wait to hear the Fox News clowns jump on this one. This will be my Friday night comedy entertainment.

  Of course the Idiot in Chief had some veterans and service family members at the White House while he was putting in his two cents worth. I wonder how much he paid them to be there?

  Bush said

"A narrow majority in the House of Representatives abdicated its responsibility by passing a war spending bill that has no chance of becoming law and brings us no closer to getting the troops the resources they need to do their job.

"These Democrats believe that the longer they can delay funding for our troops, the more likely they are to force me to accept restrictions on our commanders, an artificial timetable for withdrawal and their pet spending projects. This is not going to happen."

   "The American public expects, the Congress of the United States, to do something," said Majority Leader Steny Hoyer ( voting record), D-Md. "Not simply to say 'yes' to failed policies, but to on their behalf, speak out and try to take us in a new direction."

"What we're trying to do in this legislation is force the Iraqis to fight their own war," said Rep. John Murtha (voting record), D-Pa., who had helped write the bill.

   Since When has Bush worried about whether the troops have had the resources that they need to get the job done? Once again I point out that many of the service men's own families have pitched in to buy some of the equipment needed by them! 

      This jackass and the rest of his criminals need to be locked out of the White House and then locked up in a prison. Their ignorant supporters can go with them.

                         No man is above the law!

                        IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!

The House Passes War Funds Bill

   A divided Democratic House voted to order Dictator Bush to bring the United States troops home from Iraq next year.

  Of course we all know that the Bush Crime Family will veto this measure which was voted on pretty much along the party lines at 218-212. One good thing about this is that it is finally something binding which the Democrats have been unable to do up until now.

Democrats said it was time to heed the mandate of their election sweep last November, which gave them control of Congress.

"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( voting record), D-Calif. "The American people see the reality of the war, the president does not."    AP

The bill marks the first time Congress has used its budget power to try to end the war, now in its fifth year, by attaching the withdrawal requirements to a bill providing $124 billion to finance military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan for the rest of this year.

Excluding the funds in the House-passed bill, Congress has so far provided more than $500 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, including about $350 billion for Iraq alone, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. More than 3,200 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since war began in March 2003.       AP

   A reader at another news website suggested on Thursday that if the Democrats really want to get the White House's attention, then why not cut other funding instead of the war funds? They suggested that Congress cut the budget for Vice President Cheney's office for starters, $1 budget, and then work their way down the list.

   That may not be such a bad idea when it comes to certain branches of the government and maybe the blogger's and readers should suggest this to their representatives.

   Cheney would then have to spend some of that hard earned kickback money from Halliburton if he wanted his crime office to be functional and maybe the cost would bankrupt his sorry ass.

   While we are at it, we might suggest to our representatives that they begin gathering evidence against these clowns for future impeachment. I kind of sense that they may be doing this already.
