I forgot the 'W' in the first word. Duh!
Well .. while the dems are playing poker .. Bush will be playing chess .. and he never loses.
Some of the troops in Baghdad have put together a site where military members can show support for the mission:

This site was launched about 1 week ago and already has over 500 signatures. I think there is a surge of support starting to happen in the USA for the mission.

Thanks for the links.
Bring it, Murtha.
Constitutional crisis resolved in a week which will see the Democrats revealed as the traitors they have always been.
Schedule it for the week we take out Izfahan and Natanz and eat al-Sadr's liver with some fava beans and a good chianti.
Roger Hedgecock pointed out what Lincoln did with 18,000 "peace" Democrats--the party of Lincoln should revisit how a president handles the special case of war.
So many congressmen, so few Yuri I. Nosenko Suites.
Just like Vietnam the far left wishes to defund the Iraq war leading to a costly retreat and defeat, followed by a bloodier war engulfing the entire Middle East, not to mention providing a haven for terrorists to conduct more attacks on America and her allies.
Murtha dishonors the uniform he once wore.
His roots in Viet Nam are planted deep in failure. And he knows nothing but how to fail so that is his agenda.
Anything that makes Bush a failure is a DemoRat strategy. Even if it means sacrificing our status as a nation that defends freedom.
Murtha is a political hack.
Some might say it's time to water the tree again.
If you worry the glue, it will never dry.
bump! bump! bump!
Ike Skelton D. Mo., the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and a very well respected proponent of the military, has pledged to make sure the troops have what they need to succeed. He is a big supporter of Gates and Patreas (he clashed often with Rummy). But the best news is that NO BILL that Murtha rams through his subcommittee is immune from change when it reaches the full Armed Services Committee. Sorry Jack and Nancy.
Murtha's plan causes no constitutional crisis, it's not even a strain. IT'S JUST INCREDIBLY STUPID AND DANGEROUS.
"To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;
To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
To provide and maintain a navy;
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; "
"Well .. while the dems are playing poker .. Bush will be playing chess .. and he never loses."
But, he often surrenders - Medicare part D, No Child Left Behind, government spending, regulation, etc., etc., etc.
It wasn't Bush who "surrendered" - it was the lazy appeasement GOP in the House and Senate who wouldn't get out front and promote and support Bush's programs.
And .. Medicare Part D has been A HUGE SUCCESS - which is why the MSM is not talking about it anymore. And .. No child left behind has shown THE LEFT HAS NOT BEEN TEACHING OUR CHILDREN THE NECESSITIES .. but instead pushing their leftist and homo agenda.
Regulation ..?? What regulation ..?? Evidence please!
I will agree the spending got out of hand .. but it wasn't Bush who was "surrendering" .. it was the House and Senate leadership who did not take control.
Let's blame the real problem instead of just Bashing-Bush which seems to be the easy out for everybody.
I do not consider the creation of any new major entitlement program to be a "smashing success". And, Bush could have vetoed any of those huge budgets, and he didn't.
