This is starting to get comical. The Dems have so many competing plans, even they don't know what they want.

I agree. It is a significant development even if it fails to stop the President from continuing operations in Iraq. It certainly makes the job of commanders on the ground in Iraq more difficult by providing incentives for continued jihad against both Americans and Iraqis. However, the more the democrats continue down the road of capitulation, the more likely their political prospects will wane. It seems like deja vu all over agains, sans Korea and Vietnam.

-"I think once this bill is defeated"

The NEXT one will be offered, and the NEXT, and the NEXT, as they slowly bleed the American will to fight...

-"In regards to the anti-war treasonous movement, I do not think it will reach 10% of what it was during Vietnam."

It doesn't have to, it's got 100 times THE MONEY, and that buys a lot of friends. The Radical Anti-war left is being run by the INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST parties, with huge amounts of funding from outside America..

In any other generation, that would have been called TREASON....

Today, it's ignored by a complicite media...

The Democrat's main concern about Iraq is that it is an issue to use against Bush and the Republicans. It doesn't extend beyond that.

That's my suspicion, of course, but I still have a hard time seeing how that alone could fuel so much unwarranted obsession with the issue. I still feel like I'm missing something.

"This treasonous bill is just for emotional satisfaction for a very delusional hate filled base but in reality it will have no effect."

Until the next one, and the next one, and the next one, etc,etc,adn...

And with each one, more people get tired of hearing it, and our enemies become more emboldened...

A lifetime ago, that would have been called TREASON...

We withdrew to the 38th parallel in the face of an all out Chinese assault from the North. If we had not done that as McArthur suggested North Korea in its present form would be non-existent.

Well, there are the billions and billions of dollars being spent on it. And, there's the belief that our presence there makes us less safe overall and not more safe.

If we hadn't withdrawn in the face of the Chinese PVA assault, there wouldn't be a North Korea, because our guys would have been wiped out and lost the whole peninsula.

Me too. I still haven't heard from my Representative or either of my illustrious (NOT) senators in regards to my latest questions.

How many times can I call and give them crap before they start flagging my tax returns? ;-)

I guess it some ways also the war is useful to the media. It is a story that is known to the public so the media doesn't have to spend any time (money) getting the public up to speed on what the story is about and with only one or two 'embedded' reporters and few 'live' reporters, it can't cost that much to follow the story. It become just another 'Anna Nicole Smith' type of story.

For all the hype about asserting control, they are scared of him.

Belief by whom?

I hear leftist politicians say it, but I don't know of anyone who actually believes it.

Not anyone who is even remotely educated, that is.

Thanks to the blatant bias in the media, the left has no fear of being called to account for their treachery.
