He will also accept benchmarks without specific dates. I don't think Bush has the authority to shut down the government and move the money to DOD. He would be violating the law. Congress has the power of the purse.

Good Afternoon ChicagoConservative and All.
Happy Mayday. Across our Country today, Illegal Aliens and The NEOCOM groups who pretend to support them march.
Regardless of the label of their Marches, the true purpose is to celebrate Karl Marx and his venerated Manifesto. Today is a gathering to hack away at yet another underpinning of America in order to establish the Workers Paradise - The Collective Commune.
Not move money from the government to the DOD, shuffle money inside the DOD.
Benchmarks are fine, we already have de facto ones.
Great to have you hear.
That's what the Democrats want--our ignominious surrender, and our abandonment of the Iraqis to tyranny and death. It won't bother the Dems a bit. The only thing they care about is their own power. If they succeed in this disgraceful, treasonous effort, it will be 100 years before any nation trusts the U.S. again.
You have mail.
That quote from Rosa Brooks, denying the GWOT is disgusting. I wonder if people in London, Madrid, Bali, etcetc would agree with her.
I guess I wouldn’t mind so much if it were fools like Rosa that got killed or maimed when the next attack happens but of course it won’t be that way.
This is a self fulfilling prophecy on the part of the Dems. Rush is right, they are married to failure of not only the war in Iraq, but our entire western democratic society.
Back at you!
I was responding to your suggestion that, "He will shut down other branches to support the troops in Iraq before that will happen." If by branches, you mean the other services, I don't think he can do that either. The Executive branch can only spend the money the way it is appropriated by Congress. You can't take money from the Navy and shift it to the Army. There are lots of fences built around the pots of money appropriated.
Benchmarks are fine, we already have de facto ones.
It depends on what actions must be taken if benchmarks are not met. Also, there may not be specific dates, but l general timelines. For example, if the Iraqi government fails to reach agreement on how oil revenues will be shared by October, the US will begin redeploying its troops. Or if the surge is not working by the end of September, the US will begin removing troops with a goal of a 50% reduction by the end of December.
Each sidem WH and Dems, must be able to claim victory to save face.
CONVICT ME! I'M CONSERVATIVE! |

Yes they did. There’s a freeper (not remembering screenname) that is posting and translating followup from Spanish sources...reportings that ETA actually was collaborating with AQ and Aznar’s initial blame for Madrid bombings wasn’t inaccurate. FWIW, of course...
Their communist media was well postioned to push the “Aznar lied” story....just before their elections. Too bad more Spaniards didn’t question it.
