Anybody got a link to how the Senators voted?
“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...
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.
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.
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).
Senate Vote On the Motion (Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Levin Amdt. No. 2087 )
The Iraq war is the Republican Party today. It encompasses everything they are about. The Iraq War is fear-based, resulting in and allowing the war as an expression of racism, imperialism, militarism, opposition to the dirty anti-war hippies, while also standing for redemption for Nixon's removal from office and for fighting in Vietnam; then the war has become justification for doing away the Rule of Law and with Civil Rights in America. Finally, the war and everything related is all financed by extreme levels of political corruption which pleases the economic conservatives and libertarian conservatives.
On top of the other connections to Republicanism the location of the war in the Middle East suffuses it all with a patina of conservative Biblically-based religion. There really is an element of "the Crusader" included with the imperialism and militarism.
The Iraq War is the very core of the current Republican Party. Threaten the war and they are all threatened. They will do absolutely anything to keep the war.
