"We have to get us out of a middle of a civil war."

How eloquent.

“We have to get us out of a middle of a civil war” said Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee. A political solution must be found “so when we leave Iraq, we don’t just send our children home, we don’t have to send our grandchildren back.”

OK, genius, please provide the silver bullet “political solution.” We’re waiting.

Waiting...

Still waiting...

Gee, Joe, when did we start sending first graders to war??? I'm sure our men love being called children.

Biden’s comments are a perfect example of the vacuous sophistry constantly made by Democrats. Look at what he says. Basically he says...NOTHING! No solutions. No recommendations. No alternatives. No ideas. Just some hollow psycho-bable.

It was Party line except for 4 RINO's voting with the Surrender Monkies: Snowe - ME, Collins - ME, Hagel - NE, and Smith - OR.

Lieberman - (I) CT, voted with the Repubs. And of course Hairless Reid voted no on a procedural move that allows him to take the bill off the table.

I can kinda understand Snowe, Collins, and Smith as they are in precarious states, but Hagel? That nut has to go. And what about Sen. Johnson from SD? He didn’t vote. Is this guy still alive? When’s the last time he was on the floor? Why hasn’t anyone raised the point that this guy is basically gone and not representing South Dakota.

Dingy Harry was ranting about how the American people deserve and up or down vote on this and other important issues. My how times have changed!

He also blamed the defeat on the Republicans. Since several Republicans, for example, Hagel and Snow vote for cloture, that means some Democrats must have voted AGAINST cloture to reach 52 votes since there are 49 Democrats in the Senate. That sounds like a pretty bipartisan vote AGAINST cloture to me.

I just love how the 'Rats and their allies in the DBM continue to throw around the term 'civil war', when most of the violence in Iraq is committed by foreign Al Qaeda types murdering Iraqi civilians in order to attract Western media attention.

Any ideas on how the term 'civil war' has come to describe a foreign invasion force deliberately targeting non-combatants to further a political agenda? Following that logic, one could claim that 9/11 was part of a 'civil war' in America! (Of course, with the Party of Treason garnering as much support as it does in this country, that's probably not too far off the mark).

Senate Republicans have shown some backbone lately. Maybe it is because of President Bush’s ass kicking or maybe it is because they have finally gotten their heads out.....
I have to give them credit for not betraying our troops and America. I believe I can justify some financial support for the RNC next time around.

The empty scrotums in the Demokrat Senate will soon submit their amendment requiring the US to adopt a new US flag.

After they succeed in surrendering Iraq the Demokratz can begin the "End the War in Afghanistan NOW" argument. You can be sure that Iraq is just the first step in the Demokrat-led total surrender. Don't believe it? Check Neil Abercrombie (D-HI).

All Senators that voted YES should receive a telephone call telling them what human debris they are. Hopefully, they can all be voted OUT in disgrace. RINO’s need to hear from us ASAP. Perhaps the RNC, whose donations are not forthcoming, can give them a call as well to let them know the base is through with them and their anti-military, surrender garbage.
