"That's like saying that because someone won't own an electric car they hate the environment."

Oh, never mind, I thought you said "Electric Chair." Now that would make sense ('cause I own one myself).

The President looks strong, determined, and happy. He does not look confused, or desparate, or any of those things the media keeps saying.

The funniest moment of the evening was when Lantos got up and had a parliamentary inquiry and asked the Chair "Correct me if I am wrong, are we debating Murtha's bill or Hunter's bill?", and the Chair said "Correct. It's up for debate" and the whole chamber erupted. LOL!

"I demand an immediate withdrawal of US troops!!"

"OK. Let's vote on a resolution calling for an immediate withdrawal of US troops."

"I'm not falling for your transparent ploy."

Chucky, Chucky, Chucky...it wasn't a "parody resolution"; it was what the Dems, via Murtha, have been calling for. They got what they asked for and they balked. Now, they are on record for voting down a resolution they claimed to support.

Logic is neither your forte nor your mietre, dear.

No, of course you don't imagine that I am able to grasp your "logic", but dear Chucky, that's because you really don't have any. And attempting to put words in my mouth, isn't going to help you one whit.

WHERE DID I SAY THAT I WANT OUR MILITARY IN IRAQ FOREVER?

HOW IS IT "PERPETUAL WAR" TO HAVE MILITARY STATIONED IN A NATION?

ARE WE STILL AT WAR WITH JAPAN ?

Gee, so now I make foreign policy for America? Does President Bush know about this?

Chucky, I suggest that you go ask your handlers to explain my analogy. ;^)

He is attempting to flaunt his intelligence as well. Very common practice at DU. Sign of insecurity.

I'd give a month's salary to conduct IQ tests on Freepers and DUmmies, then compare the results.

"There were a lot of angry people on the floor tonight, because we are dealing with a serious matter."

This is an extremely serious issue. We are making history in Iraq that will have major consequences for the USA and the world for hundreds of years. This is no time for rash decisions.

All this hand-wringing by DemocRATs about the casulties is just so much hypocrisy in my view. If they really cared about saving the lives of young Americans they would support two reforms: 1) School choice, to allow parents and young people to choose to attend safe schools with discipline and order that are not run by murderous gangs and where violent students are exepelled and are not tolerated, and 2) they would support proposals to spend highway appropriations first on renovations of the most dangerous urban highways where the most people are getting killed in accidents, rather then spending money on all these pork-barrel projects in back country rural districts. There's major hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle about casualties in Iraq, especially on the DemocRAT side.

I am certain, that St. Chuck is being gravely misunderstood. Go ahead St. Chuck answer my question, so we can fully appreciate- what you really believe.

Don't forget the military to save your a---from the indians.

I would never forget the military. I depend on them most for my freedom, so I thought it was included in the original post. I know you would agree.

He called our cherished republic a "democracy."

Oh....so what. A technicality. We must have some kind of democracy, otherwise we couldn't export it.

St Chuck claimed in June that there weren't any drones in Iraq.
So I helpfully reminded him that Iraq had fired two drones at our troops during the beginning of the war, and then gave him a link to the Duelfer report.

Strangely, St.Chuck has been reluctant to speak about it.

We must be space aliens, otherwise we wouldn't have SETI.
