The above words are true and you can see it in the Demorats words and their actions.
I see the rats as a National Security threat. Pull out and leave Iraq to terrorist or Iran (a terrorist sponsoring state)?

Unswayed by anti-war passions, President Bush will send 21,500 additional U.S. troops to Iraq and build the American presence there toward its highest level to quell worsening bloodshed. The move puts Bush on a collision course with the new Democratic Congress and runs counter to advice from some senior generals.
Set to announce his decisions in a prime-time speech Wednesday night, Bush was to acknowledge making major mistakes in Iraq, primarily failing to deploy enough U.S. soldiers and demand more Iraqi troops and cooperation to confront the country's near-anarchy.
In advance of Bush's address, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said U.S. military operations have been "handcuffed by political interference by Iraqi leadership" — but now will proceed under rules allowing troops to confront Shiite militias as well as Sunni insurgents.

The new Democratic leaders of Congress met with Bush and complained afterward that their opposition to a buildup had been ignored. "This is the third time we are going down this path. Two times this has not worked," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Why are they doing this now? That question remains."
Senate and House Democrats are arranging votes urging the president not to send more troops. While lacking the force of law, the measures would compel Republicans to go on record as either bucking the president or supporting an escalation.

Most unfortunately, aren't. That's why, as was said in 'Annie Hall', politicians are a notch below child molesters.
You are just so wishy washy John. It is so hard to discern what your point of view is on anything. Maybe it is all those monosyllabic words of yours that confuse me. :)
I just hope we pick better people in the Primaries and not wait till the General election like in the past
<--- DU is that way.
He's not my white knight --- and I think his chances are zero, but I want to see a full GOP field of candidates.
I'm calling his office in the a.m. How dare he do that .. to promote disunity and lower the spirits of our brave troops!
If indeed Coleman went against POTUS, I am truly saddened too.......and after he did SO well against the UN crap too....damned shame...(no moew contributions for you, Normy)
Thanks!!!!
I read on a blog today that she was against his plan. Been wondering about her lately.
Ok, if you're sure my list is correct?
Why? Because I disagree with putting in 20,000 more additional troops?
I'm a lockstep Republican through the trough.
Am I saying anything differently than what some other ten Republican Senators are saying to Trent Lott?
I think Coleman in the end will end up on the side of McCain and Inhofe. Those two tried to get rid of Warner and Frist wouldn't do it. Now Warner comes back to spit on the President. I am still mad Warner is in the Senate and Allen is out.
aol is taking the same tack, Wolfstar. It's disgraceful.
If people have never prayed for this President or our troops before, NOW is the time to begin!
God blanket our military and our Commander in Chief with his loving protection as they fight to WIN this war against evil.
You are not the first to have noticed that. I can't tell you how many times I've been told that in person. I never learned to spell nuance.
No, it's called stepping up and being a man- Something that his predecessor was totally lacking.
I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I also can't put my finger on an exact description. Unsettling, however. Not a good idea to delegate leadership and the inspiring of confidence.
I hope that Maliki's warning to Sadr about facing an American onslaught doesn't bring about another 'promise' of a cessation of violence.
The only true cessation of violence will occur when Sadr and his militia suffer mortal losses.
