Weren't the british about to pull out of iraq? hmmm.... decisions agains America have consequences too... I may be inclined to let the british handle iran and see what france does....

Also, just saw this on Malkin's blog. The congress is going on Spring Break so the Iraq surrender bills won't even make it to the Presidents desk for veto for some weeks, well into April. In the meantime, money gets scarce for the troops and their families.

So what happens now? Well, President Bush has made crystal clear that he will veto the bill. But he won't even get a chance for several weeks. The Democratic leadership have decided to stick to the normal (read: non-emergency) calendar, and so Congress is now heading home for Spring Break. Once they return, the Senate bill still needs to be reconciled with the House version, and so the final bill won't make it to President Bush's desk until at least mid-April.

Meanwhile, our troops are waiting. So it turns out that according to the Democratic leadership, funding for the Tree Assistance Program, sugar beets , and the Ewe Lamb Replacement and Retention Program are all "emergencies". But there's nothing urgent at all about actually getting funds to our soldiers on the battlefield.

Grrrr!!

She's working hard to get Code Pink off her lawn and keep them from having a sit-in in her office.

Elections have consequences.

The stay-home-100%'ers can kiss my Marine olive drab a$$!

I think that is what the Dems meant by slow bleeding the troops

But hey ... don't dare question their patriotism

[prairiebreeze]

I most certainly do question their patriotism, as I know you do too.

Personally I think many of the top RATS are on the Saudi's payroll. In addition to Soros.

It is simply staggering to me that Pelosi refuses to stand beside America's closest ally. I literally would not have thought this possible, until I saw it this week.

In all honesty I don't understand why anyone is really surprised by this

Did people really believe that speech Nancy gave when becoming Speaker of the House??

[Mo1]

The Saudi's and Soros money won't stop the terrorists

I'm not surprised - as much as the left hates George Bush, they hate Tony Blair almost as much. And their juvenile hatred, and acting on it, is as far as their vision extends, is the only thing that matters to them. And the British media is just as bad. It's their own citizens and service people being held hostage by the Iranians, and all they can do is write trash attacking the Jews.

I expect Pelosi will soon go on TV, wag her finger and sneer at Blair to "calm down" and "take a deep breath." And of course the media will swoon when she does.

[Mo1]

I have no doubt she will

But eventually she and the other nitwits will have no other choice but to face reality

And the really sad part is ... we get to say .. I told you so and I really don't look forward to that moment

I don't either, because the cost of that moment is going to be higher than anyone can imagine.

[Mo1]

yes it will

For reference! ;-)

We should stop paying any attention to what Nancy Pelosi says. She has no influence outside the door of her offices. Her political base is a relatively small district including San Fransissy. Her only other support comes from socialist running dogs in Congress.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives is a nothing job, perks aside. While there have been strong Speakers in the past wielding great power, Pelosi is not one.

Pelosi's main job is to assign parking spaces around the Capitol building, supervise the Sargent at Arms, and try to keep the few House members who show up for work each day sober till noon.

In a national where half the population doesn't know the name of the President, she's unimportant.

There is no Myth

There is. But keep perpetuating it. I guess you never want another tax cut, don't mind partial birth abortion, and would prefer to ignore and appease terrorism than fight for this country, because you insist on campaining against the wrong party.

Only the blind can't see the difference. And yes, the situation we're in now is as much because of people who think like you do as anyone else. Gee, thanks.
