Congressmen are such whiners.

Everyone needs to take a deep breathe and assess the overall situation. If we need to do anything, what we need to do is widen the war and take out Iran and Syria.

"Lawmakers" in Washington are like Weather Veins, the change their direction with the prevailing political winds.

Why doesn't these media maggots ask our Military leaders their opinions if we need to retreat, or back off, on the plan known as "Victory"

The only thing these "Lawmakers" are primarily concerned with is being reelected to their cushy position of being pampered by every Lobbyist on Capital Hill, and this is the direct result of "Popular Polling" or what I prefer to call "Push Polling" conducted by the same NEWS organizations who are bombarding the average American with their front page stories that focus only on what, they consider, will further their left wing agenda.

Lets see here..... The Washington Post publishes articles that trash George W. Bush and the Iraq War 24/7 and then they conduct what they call an "Unbiased Poll" of their subscribers who claim the Nation is heading in the wrong direction, the support of the war in Iraq is diminishing, and George W. Bush's popularity is tanking...... Well! no Shi'ite Sherlock. When you control what is digested by your readers, it's easy to get the desired "Poll" results that support your agenda

Their needs to be change in Iraq, bring in the B52's and show whos boss. Bush keeps giving the same "were staying the course..." speeches and the insurgents keep killing are troops. I say show them whos boss, should have happened the first time an american was beheaded.

Oh Great.
Now we have GOP sidewalk superintendents too?
Our troops and the guys running the show have no need for "help" from the legions of slack-jawed droolers in the back of the line.
The timeline we'll be watching is how short a time it will be before he's flippin' burgers again.
Send this guy to the Kerry campaign HQ.
Thank him for his loyalty to his Commander-in-Chief.

The outstanding success of Operation Lightning proves the Congressmen and the MSM wrong about the Iraqi Army. The Defense minister says the operation is the model for the rest of the country. The insurgents aren't going to replace 1,000 Baghdad operatives very easily -if at all.

The Iraqis have a unique way of dealing with captured insurgents, particularly the foreigners; when they're done extracting information from them they take them out to the desert and shoot them.

Rep. Curt Weldon, a Pennsylvania Republican who just returned from Iraq, joined several Democrats saying the administration must be more candid and acknowledge that it could take about two years to train Iraqi forces to replace U.S. soldiers and allow a significant pullout.

Open your ears .. He has said it would take time

Good Grief .. was Congress this bad after WWII ???

Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina conservative...

Conservative, my *ss.

RINOs are a threat to the national security of the United States, just like their liberal brethren in the Democratic Party. They are the last protective ring around socialism in this country.

The sooner conservatives realize it, the sooner we can solve the problem.

The insurgency will persist as long as our dumb f*** congressmen give them reason to think we don't have the determination to defeat them. Congress can't do anything right at all other than line their scum bag pockets. The idea of them deciding war strategy is frightening.

Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican

Hagel is a total sellout to the Republican party. This guy actually has aspirations for POTUS but every time he opens his mouth he puts more distance between those hopes.


, said on CNN's Late Edition, that "many of us warned this administration before we ever put a boot on the ground" that it would face a long-term conflict. "We didn't have plans for it. And we are now where we are," he said.

I'll do it better if you just give me the Presidency. What a bag of hot air.

What the good Sen. Lindsey Graham fails to understand is that the enemies of Iraqis are our enemies too. We aren't fighting for them. We are fighting OUR war. Where does he think the terrorists want to control? Baghdad...Kandahar? Yes. But they will enter the US and attack DC...Seattle...Chicago...LA just as they are able. And we are enabling them.

Weldon also said the administration must "come to grips" with a rising insurgency, boosted by fighters from Syria and Iran, "which for some reason our intelligence community does not want to acknowledge or deal with."


I hate to agre with a Dimocrat, but this guy is right. The border should have been sealed of immediately after we went into Iraq. We has done little to keep these so-called insurgents from coming across. Recently, we have taken some steps to control the access, but I don't think it has been enough. ALL traffic should be stopped until things stabilize

Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina conservative, said on ABC's "This Week" that he would offer legislation this week setting a timetable for the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

That's like telling the burglar when you're going on vacation.
