Bush Opposes War Authority Limits

   Did you know that the White house dis-approves of war authority limits that the democrats wish to place on it by limiting what our troops can and cannot do in Iraq? What a surprise this was to me!

   The Bush clan did have one good point in their statement.

White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto:  "There's a lot of ... shifting sands in the Democrats' position right now. It's hard to say exactly what their position is."

   This appears to be so true! Every Democratic leader has some different idea about how to stop this war mess and even if they do come up with something that they can all agree on, it won't be enough to make any difference.

   I think that the White House and the rest of the GOP are getting great laughs as they watch the Democrat comedy channel run around in circles. It must appear hilarious to the Republicans that the Democrats control the House and barely the Senate yet they can't get anything of consequence done to scale back in Iraq or to get our troops home.

   Just cut the damned funding, period, and it stops all of this crap dead in it's tracks! Is this to hard for the leaders to understand?

Democrats Back Off On Parts Of Legislation

   I've just noticed the story on the Democrats turning into a bunch of wimps and scaling down the legislation that John Murtha was pressing for in dealing with our troops and the deployment to Iraq

   The Democratic Senate leaders are still going to put forth their plan  to repeal the 2002 resolution which authorized the war in Iraq but the Dems are backing off of their attempt to base funding on the troops being prepared and up to standard before going to war.

   Democrat moderates and the Repugnicans pitched a bitch about that effort so it's off to the trash-can with that idea. Some of these Democrats need to get educated, it would seem.

Rep. Chet Edwards ( D-TEX.)  "If you strictly limit a commander's ability to rotate troops in and out of Iraq, that kind of inflexibility could put some missions and some troops at risk."

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.)  "I've had enough of 'nonbinding.' The authorization that we gave the president back in 2002 is completely, completely outdated, inappropriate to what we're engaged in today."

"We gave the president that power to destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and, if necessary, to depose Saddam Hussein," Biden said of the 2002 resolution in a speech last week before the Brookings Institution. "The WMD was not there. Saddam Hussein is no longer there. The 2002 authorization is no longer relevant to the situation in Iraq."
