"Bush's anticipated plan has focused on troop strength, his strategy also is expected to address political and economic issues."
Sounds like:
CORDS: Civil Operations (and) Revolutionary Development Support.
In Jan of 1970, they changed "Revolutionary" to "Rural." Civil Operations and Rural Development Support was the MACV advisory effort to the government of VietNam's pacification program.

" And I know the American people won't allow this to happen, after the troops that have given their lives for this war....no way will they let this happen...."
I hope this is true, but, I have real doubts.
I'll never understand why the Democrats, the media and many Americans are so eager to give those who have killed our soldiers... a free pass.
Once the first US soldier was killed-every American , regardless of how they felt before the war, should have been behind the effort.
What kind of people let the killers of our troops go unpunished ?
I'll never understand what makes a Democrat tick-never.

It's ruined by single-issue voters who won't support someone who isn't totally in agreement with them on guns, gays, abortion or immigrationBINGO! Well stated!

W should just send the forces as CinC and dare the congress to not fund the effort. He should also announce they will not be withdrawn until the mission is accomplished OR they run out of bullets, food and gasoline, whichever comes first.
Nancy would p*ss herself.

The strategy of the insurgents has never been to "win" in any conventional military sense, but instead to cause chaos and drive the Coalition out too soon. Democrats and the MSM have been playing right into their hands. The party of Pelosi might just as well give a surrender speech.</p>

"You won't even be able to get enough votes from your own party let alone the GOP."Of course not. But that's not the goal.
The goal is to confirm that they are against the war and they tried to do something about it but those nasty Republicans are in the way. So, vote Democrat in 2008 and they promise they'll try again.
Expect this to repeat itself on a number of issues. The Democrats can't do anything in the next two years except grandstand.

I watched that interview with care and she neither said nor even hinted or suggested anything even approaching such an outrageous conclusion. Such idiotic hyperboyle is both the epitome of intellectual dishonesty divisive in its intent. Her comment was clear: ''The President no longer has a blank check. If he plans an expansion, that's a conversation he has to have with the Congress.'' That is a reasonable function of congressional oversight and something which our party's leadership should have insisted on for the past three years but chose to abdicate.

I believe that also....so Bush sends the bill back???? And hopefully goes on the road to tell the American people what the congress critters and the saneless senators are trying to do....worked for Reagan, it can work for President Bush....
Agreed, Lady. And if he did it on one of your Harleys that would be really cool! Joking aside, W will not let Queen Nancy harm our troops--count on it.

While I agree with your point that "Liberal" Republicans may have lost to "Moderate" or so called "conservative" Democrats.. If there really is such a thing. It's all about committee control. When will people get this through their heads.
ITS ALL ABOUT WHO CONTROLS AND CHAIRS COMMITTES!!
While we as Republicans may disagree on many things I think that we can ALL agree that Democrats are bad for national defense. If we loose this war on terror -- NOTHIING ELSE MATTERS!
Come on people - we need unity here and stop trying to teach ourselves a lesson by losing elections.
It makes me sick to think about this - I will vote ONLY for my party - please stop loosing these elections on "principals". The stakes are too high!
To: Rummyfan
And she's just a congressman from San Francisco.... I didn't vote for her to run our foreign and military policies! You didn't, but the enlightened, progressive majority of the country did. They voted to coronate her the President in waiting. Now if Nancy can just find some way to get rid of the Republican riff raff between her and absolute power.
Seriously, you make an excellent point. She's just a congresswoman from SF with slim mandate for a change in our foreign policy, at best. She is NOT the President.

To: DustyMoment
Sadly, not true. Bush will cave to the extortion. I certainly believe that will not happen because as much as I hate the concept of Presidential legacy building, Bush will not go down as the guy who lost our second "Vietnam"

To: RayStacy
If the President feels that more troops are needed, he should send them there anyway. And If the bugged eye nitwit Pelosi tried to take holding funds to the House floor, she will find her first solid defeat since I believe there are enough Democrats as well as Republicans to veto anything she does. Who in the hell does she think she is, President. She is just a San Fransico turd!
And if she should introduce the bill, the President should go on national TV and call her for what she is, a hate military, lose in Iraq, against American security, and above all Hate America.

LOL, don't fret middie, Hillary or Obama may soon save you from the evil Bush!
In the meantime "Our Mother Nancy", will be taking care of us, our "kids" in the military, our generals and the CIC, all at once.
And icky war will soon be off TV!
To: Sub-Driver
She won't do that- it will be political suicide for her to turn her back on those she 'claims' to be 'so concerned about'- Ah war- always a political maneuvering tool used by those hwo can't stand the other political party- aint congress great? http://sacredscoop.com
