A Failed Plan, Senators?

1. We took Iraq in less time than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch
Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.

2. It took less time to find evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq than it took
Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

3. It took Teddy Kennedy longer to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at
Chappaquiddick than it took the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to
destroy the Medina Republican Guard.

4. We took Iraq in less time than it took to count the votes in Florida in the
year 2000!

And the Democrats called the Iraq effort a failed plan?

And the efforts in Iraq didn't result in the deaths of all Iraqis (men women and children) who remained in Iraq.

Error check: Nancy Pelosi is a Representative, not a Senator, and is House minority leader.

What about that a-hole Biden and his use of the word Boss? It was but a half step away from Massuh (Master), if you ask me. No one says a word.

the stereotypical aggressor in such an unfair exchange should have been a senior Southern reactionary male, replete with drawl and barely contained racist anger, who ambushes the upstart and distorts the record in an act of name-calling —

I give you Senator Robert Byrd, continually referring to "Albeeerto" as opposed to Judge Gonzales if you want a picture of the foregoing stereotype.
