I could care less what he called for. I care what he voted for. What is more important what you say or what you do? What you do of course, but you like to gloss over that. Would it be more important for Paul to call for tax cuts or vote for tax cuts? I am sure you think vote. The same is applied to Iraq.When the new General in charge of the Iraq plan Petraeus, called for the additional surge for the plan he designed to give reinforcements to our American soldiers there to we could finish the job and bring the troops home with a victory, he voted NO. He did not vote present, he voted NO. He is a cut and run coward. I will do everything I can to defeat him if he runs for the presidency.

Do you believe it constitutes a "victory" to leave in Power a Government of Iraq which harbors self-confessed, and even Convicted, Anti-American Terrorists in their Ruling Coalition? How is that a "victory"?

Saddam Hussein is dead. Iraq has suffered a very meaningful object lesson in what can happen if the US gets pissed off. What more does it accomplish now to firm up the power base of the Terrorists in SCIRI and Al Dawa?

In the fight between the Sunni Terrorist Insurgents of Iraq and the Shi'ite Terrorist Government of Iraq, I'm rooting for them BOTH to lose. And the USA will lose a lot less Troops and save hundreds of billions of dollars by watching them kill eachother from the sidelines.

That is obvious. It's all about a dangerous party loyality to Bush right or wrong isn't it? He DARED say no to a Bush. OH My GOODNESS I feel faint!

Let me set you straight on something here and now. Going to war is the most serious and somber act our government can do. It very well deserves more than some Donkey lawyers in congress writing enforcing U.N. mandates type Congressional Resolutions and sending our troops to enforce such. That was not Constitutional they did not have thet power. The congress and troops take an oath to our nationa nd our Constituion not the U.N.

OUR TROOP DESERVED NO LESS THAN A FORMAL DECLARATION OR WAR BINDING CONGRESS AND POTUS TO IT'S RESOUTION AND COMMITS THEM TO SEE IT TO THE FINISH.
