Bush 'Surge' Will Have No Showdown With Democrats

Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore.,

"It is that belief that the president has, and the faith he has in Prime Minister Maliki, that leads him to tack into the winds of American public opinion.What this sets up is a classic war powers confrontation between the White House and the Congress.

My dilemma, as for every member of Congress, is that we have only one commander in chief at a time, and he is ordering our troops into a certain posture that puts them in harm's way. Do we budget away their bullets?"       Original Story

   "Do we budget away their bullets?" This is the most ridiculous load of shit going around as of late! As I have noted before, cutting the funding for the troops will not put them in harms way whatsoever! All that a budget cut will do is not dole out many more billions to keep our people in Iraq. There is more than enough money in the channels to supply and to bring our troops home without taking any unnecessary risks.

    Bring Them Home! NOW!!

More Troops In Iraq By End Of January

   An anonymous defense department official  has told the Associated Press that under Bush's new plans for Iraq, more U.S. troops could be heading that way by the end of the month.

   First would be the 2nd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division which is in Kuwait and can be moved rapidly.

   Up to 20,000 of our troops are expected to end up in no-mans land under 'The Deciders' new Iraq offensive. this new way forward that Bush is supposed to speak on is nothing but the same old bullshit with different wrapping on it!

   If Bush wants to win in Iraq, maybe he should join the troops over in Iraq and then he could finish the 16 or so months that he went AWOL from the Guard when he was in service.

   This so called president is the most despicable man on the planet and he needs to be brought back to reality very quickly!
