If Ted Kennedy and Nazi Pelosi would have hearts, they'd eat it out now.

Nancy is deeply disappointed.

'Yesterday, Mr. Kennedy asked the administration to hold off on deploying the troops to give Congress more time to consider the issue.'

In other words, wait til we can find a reason to stop you from trying to protect us.

Mr. Gates said if the plan succeeds, it will rebuild the public's confidence. "I remember that when [the] first President Bush made the decision to throw Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, the polls showed about 15 percent of the American people supported that action," he said. "After it was successful, about 90 percent supported it."

Hammer, nail, head, hit!

Teddy Roosevelt sent the "Great White Fleet" around the world as a display of U.S. Naval power. Some in the Senate tried to stop him but he already had the money and told them "try and get it back".

Sending reinforcements to the two areas of Iraq that are producing 80% of the violence.....

Hmm, I have yet to see the democrat alternative and the logic behind it.

If they would add a special tax check off for those who wish to pay a surcharge to fund the Bush plan we could probably pay for it without the swimmer's help.

Just keep in mind, that, in order for this to work..

They need to through out all the REPORTERS first.

Besides. It's not like they couldn't make up a story about it anyway. They do that as it is.

"The White House yesterday said there already is enough money in the budget to pay for President Bush's proposed troop surge in Iraq, leaving Congress almost no viable way to stop him before he commits the troops."

LOL!!! Ya gotta get up pretty early in the morning to out smart GWB! Teddy-boy, go have another drink -- you fat asshat!

TYPO:

Yesterday, Mr. Kennedy asked the administration to hold off on deploying the troops to give Congress him more time to consider the issue find some liquor.

There, fixed it.

I don't understand why many on this forum support this surge of troops. General Jack Keane and Frederick Kagan, who co-authored this surge wanted at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops instead of the 21,500 to be there 18 months or so. Defence secretary Robert Gates, told congressmen that the troop build-up was expected to last "a matter of months" - rather than the 18 months proposed by Gen Keane. Also to put confidence in Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki (a Shiite) to crack down on the Shiite militias, is a mistake. He has not delivered in the past and is constrained by the same people he represents. For instance Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi army or militia represent 30 seats in the Iraqi 275 seat parliament. I can't see how this plan will succeed.
