Amen. They know the Defense Appropriation Legislation is coming up as well, they can’t wait to lollygag around (a la troops funding), as they bash our mission (unlike wanting to stay weekends to give the country away to illegals and terrorists relatives).
They vet Petraeus, taking him through hell, approve him, then say two weeks later... we want a new strategy, even though it was a new one and wanted to slam it. The additional troops are there and two days later, “The surge isn’t working”; Our guys are kicking ass and taking names, but no... Pull out!
Now since there’s not enough bad news for them and they can’t be silent and let them do their jobs, it’s Iraq Gov’t failed on all deadlines (via leak prior to Iraq Progress Report). Maybe it’s me, but I thought the report back was for September, with Petraeus asking for up to April.
Face it, we have some self-centered, power and money hungry POSs on that hill. It seems not a one has read the constitution, history, law or floor procedures. Little things like the CinCs executive powers and congress’ role.
They make me ashamed... not to be an American, but to be human.
Isn't that the sad truth - Regardless, keep the intensity and faith. Contact members of Congress. Tell them to stand firm. Be civil but be blunt (GOP members).
If our base stands up and protects our guys down range flanks (home side) GOP members will get the message (just like immigration).
Will our base stand up and protect our warriors flanks is now the real question. It isn't just Congress our base can make them as well.
