Well...that would be the only think I’d worry about. I don’t see how though. What kind of animals? Snakes, Scorpions?
LOL!
Hi SWB.
Gotta love it...the Libs and RINO’s are deamonizing immigration opponents like the Libs to people that are opposed to the Environmental Whacko.
Both smears go like this...If you don’t agree with this legislation...you’re anti-(insert special cause here).
Smells like a LIEberal caller....
Hey CC...half way to the weekend.
Rush is scolding his students. LOL
That's fine. Maybe a cheesecake or two would be nice, too. ; )
caller is an idiot. This is NO time for idealistic fantasy.
This guy is totally clueless. This has NOTHING to do with immigration. Rush should tell him that he is an idiot and hang up. I have NO more patience for idiots.
I’m sure they will!! LOL
Got here a little late - has Rush mentioned Hillary’s letter to pentagon???
CLINTON CALLS ON PENTAGON TO PLAN FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ
Presses Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Begin Proper Planning
Washington, DC – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, in both a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and in a private meeting with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Peter Pace, called on the Pentagon to brief the Congress on any existing plans for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, or provide an explanation as to why such plans have not been properly created.
“The seeds of many problems that continue to plague our troops and mission in Iraq were planted in the failure to adequately plan for the conflict and properly equip our men and women in uniform,” Senator Clinton wrote. “Congress must be sure that we are prepared to withdraw our forces without any unnecessary danger.”
The full text of Senator Clinton’s letter follows:
The Honorable Robert M. Gates
Secretary of Defense
The United States Department of Defense
The Pentagon
Suite 319
Washington, D.C. 20301
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Given the express will of the Congress to implement a phased redeployment of United States forces from Iraq and the importance of proper contingency planning to achieve that goal, I write to request that you provide the appropriate oversight committees in Congress – including the Senate Armed Services Committee – with briefings on what current contingency plans exist for the future withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Alternatively, if no such plans exist, please provide an explanation for the decision not to engage in such planning.
The seeds of many problems that continue to plague our troops and mission in Iraq were planted in the failure to adequately plan for the conflict and properly equip our men and women in uniform. Congress must be sure that we are prepared to withdraw our forces without any unnecessary danger.
At a Department of Defense operational update which you hosted earlier this month, you were asked whether contingency plans were being developed in the event that a future assessment concludes the surge is not working. In response, you noted that efforts at the Department of Defense included detailed planning and consideration of operational alternatives, but that “it’s more of just broader conceptual thinking.” General Pace reiterated that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had not received orders to prepare contingency plans.
Yesterday, however, it was reported that your Iraqi counterpart, Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi is preparing plans in the event that the United States and its forces departed Iraq quickly, reviewing worst-case scenarios, and conducting meetings with Iraq’s political leadership on this issue.
In light of growing violence and insecurity in Iraq, the continued lack of political progress by Prime Minister al-Maliki, the Iraqi Defense Ministry’s level of contingency planning, and the will of the American Congress to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, it is imperative that the Department of Defense prepare plans for the phased redeployment of U.S. forces. As you well know, any military operation requires contingency planning so that the military and our troops are prepared if the current plan is unsuccessful. It would be irresponsible not to engage in similar planning in Iraq.
Thank you for looking into this matter. I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
CC: General Peter Pace, USMC
Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
Oh God....
Hey caller, this isn’t the 19th century with a wide open frontier to populate. And immigrants weren’t walking in by the millions and getting freebies from the government.
I thought MOONBAT the entire time.
If it smells like sh**.
As any good teacher does when the pupil hasn’t done their homework.
Is it low carb?
I’d suggest that Mark get those Overbite emails ready. LOL
Thank you all for the welcome.
