"As an Army convoy prepared to depart after dropping off blankets, an Iraqi boy came out to say goodbye clutching a stuffed toy--and an American flag."

Democrats yesterday attacked President Bush's new plan to send more U.S. troops to Iraq and began laying the groundwork for a showdown between the executive and legislative branches over war powers.
"Escalation of this war is not the change the American people called for in the last election," Democratic Whip Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois said last night in his party's response to Mr. Bush's prime-time presentation of his Iraq strategy changes.
"Instead of a new direction, the president's plan moves the American commitment in Iraq in the wrong direction."
The new Democratic-led Congress plans to grill Bush administration officials during Capitol Hill hearings on the Iraq war -- beginning this morning when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates testify before congressional committees.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said Americans want to know whether Mr. Bush's strategy is a "change of course."
"Or is this simply more of the same with slightly different rhetoric?" Mr. Schumer said.
Miss Rice will testify before the Senate and House foreign relations committees today, and Mr. Gates, who replaced the war's architect Donald H. Rumsfeld last month, will testify before the House Armed Services Committee today and the Senate Armed Services Committee tomorrow.

It wasn't meant to "comfort" you and as far as trials are concerned...don't hold your breath.
I know. I was just emphasizing how damned exasperated I am that so many Americans are disloyal. I have personally enjoyed your contributions on these threads for years.

They one day will have to face doing what is right,
though they seem to have it made as they fool enough voters to get elected.
Glad I've been making fun of the voters that elected them.

Sadly, you are dead on. Until we purge the MSM of it's traitorous elements we will never win let alone fight another war or even defend ourselves. A majority of Americans are ignorant sheep
I'm not worried about the Dem's... I know they have no spine. My focus is on backstabbing Republicans.
Headline: Democrat branch of jihad ramps up its winter offensive.
That would be cruel and inhuman punishment for the sharks. PETA would be at your door.
