It is reported that Senator Lott has a list of 10 names of GOP senators who have elected to stand with the democrats, instead of supporting our own WAR TIME, GOP POTUS.

---

The list thus far:

Brownback;

Coleman;

Lugar?;

Snow;

Collins;

Hagel;

and likely

Voinovich;

Smith;

Two have not yet been named (outed).

.

A few quotes:

• “I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer. Iraq requires a political rather than a military solution.” – Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.
• “If Iraq is going to fulfill its role as a sovereign and democratic state, it must start acting like one. It is for this reason that I oppose the proposal for a troop surge.” – Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn.
• “This is a dangerously wrongheaded strategy that will drive America deeper into an unwinnable swamp at a great cost,” said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.,
• Several Republican senators are candidates for backing the resolution against a troop increase. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Gordon Smith of Oregon and Norm Coleman of Minnesota said they oppose sending more soldiers.

  Republican Sens. George Voinovich of Ohio and John Warner of Virginia also might be persuaded. Warner said he supports the Iraq Study Group recommendations, which strongly cautioned against an increase in troops unless advocated by military commanders.

Go away! You don't bother me.

Yes, he hid after Mary Jo but he was young and slimmer. I was kidding about him being unable to hide because of his size.

[Cincinna]

The only one that surprises me is Coleman. I thought he was smarter than that.

What is it with people who want to turn every thread into a discussion on immigration? I thought this thread was about IRAQ.

Try to connect the dots bro. Border security . . . national security.

There is a relationship.

I know, I know, I know and he's one of my Senators. I am just so blessed, /s

HORSEFEATHERS !

Not a very reasoned response :)

If we seized Iraq's oil fields, we could pay ourselves back for the military cost. We could give money to the kurds and we could give money to Sunnis and Shias that support us. If they don't support us, we let them starve.

Our policy in the Middle east should be if you attack us, declare war on us or support our enemies you will lose your oil fields.

I guarantee that they need the oil revenue more than we need the oil. The whole Middle East problem will be solved in less than a year. We can always make oil out of coal and we have enough to last for a thousand years.

While we are at it we should also quit giving money to any country that doesn't whole heartedly support us.

Well, first of all, I'm not a "bro". Secondly, this thread was very specifically about the GOP senators not supporting the Pres on his Iraq policy, not about national security in general.

[nopardons]

You should! I do, as well; having already lived through it, I do know what it's going to be like.

[fish hawk]

Excuse me but wasn't there a few Freepers pushing Brownback for President around here recently. I don't know the man but now I don't want to know him. No votes from me.

[PeskyOne]

President Bush has made mistakes, but to blame him totally for the "boondoggle of a war" is not fair IMO. You have to blame Democrats and the liberal MSM for their part in doing all they could to lose this war for political reasons. There are a lot of Democrats (and some Republicans) who have done irreparable harm to the security of this nation. If we don't win this war over there, you can look forward to having more 9/11's and maybe even fighting a war on our own shores.

Sorry, I keyed off on the wrong post, I was aiming at another target,

I agree about Coleman, but I believe Minnesota has gone blue since the JFK years.

[nopardons]

You are not only a traitor, but a complete and utter fool.

[ilovew]

I'll second that sentiment.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The only problem with that theory is, Saddam did the very same thing to his own people. We all know how well that worked.

While you're at it please explain just how we can make oil out of coal? They tried to make gas (Methane) out of it in the mid '70's, but oil was not possible. Did some new miracle technology just spring up out of nowhere?

[devolve]

I know

But he is really a small creature

[nopardons]

A far more well reasoned response, than your original post.

Do you have ANY idea at all, what the world, including American response would be, to having our troops seize the oil fields in Iraq?

And just HOW do you propose that the military not only do that, but also work the fields and ship the oil back home? That IS theft, BTW, and also so completely an implausible and unworkable suggestion, that I must ask ask you....HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Oh wonderful...let those who don't support us starve. And just HOW do we know WHO supports us and who doesn't?

Are we now responsible for feeding every single Kurd and Sunni and Shia?

Remove your fingers from the key board, back away sloooooooooowly, and go do a whole lot of research on the Middle East, oil, warfare, and American history before you post again.

[potlatch]

In our minds maybe but not to look at, lol.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Chuckle!.....

[tomcorn]

Let me say this about that..Until you can ask a question of me that reflects a fully fledged adult personality adequately reared in the basics of civil discourse will I deign to respond to your posts. Is this abundantly clear,Psycho?

Would you care to try again?

No?

So be it...

[nopardons]

Yes, quite a few of them, actually. It would appear that many FREEPERS push for people to be president, whom they "FEEL" is a nice man; without any knowledge of said person, nor with any regard to reality.

Scratch Allen, scratch Brownback! Two down, more to go.
