Oh that will convince the Iraqui’s they have a true Democracy—for the US to replace the duly elected leader...uh huh. Great idea. (Not.)

Now that the Dems have to admit that the surge is working they need another Strawman to attack...so now instead of the “QUAGMIRE” and “We are losing the War” crap they are going to attack the Iraqi government as flawed, corrupt and inefficient.

I wonder how he would feel with the Iraqi headline “Iraqi Parliament demands new US Senate Arms Service Leader”.

“We have the best congress money can buy.”
Samual Clemmens (aka Mark Twain)
It is still true...
To: enough_idiocy
this is who the iraqis braved death to vote for and elected. That's not correct. The Iraqis voted for lists with delegates for Parliament. It was for months unclear who will be designated Prime Minister by the winning parties. Jafaari and Abdul-Mahdi were for a long time the most likely candidates. But your point is valid nontheless. It is up to the Iraqi parliament and the parties to change or maintain the government, not Dem senators.

They finally figured out they get pummeled by the public when they attack the troops as failures, over-stressed psychos, etc., etc. They started the new strategy when they were all complaining about Iraqi legislators going on vacation... that was just before our Congress went on vacation. Now they will move full force ahead as portraying Iraqis as insane, greedy... and "not ready for Democracy" and thus not worth our blood and treasure. Yet they still want some sort of action in Darfur. One wonders what in the minds of liberals makes people in Darfur more worthy than people in Iraq.

As far as the issue of the surge "working" the Democratic play-book is already moving in the direction of, "Any positive news coming out of Iraq is based on lies the political motives of right wing General David Petraeus."

You 2 must be reading a different article, as the first line of the one I read suggested that the current govt should be voted out of office, not removed by force.

Dont the moonbats bay about us removing a democratically elected leader with Saddam and now the Dems want to remove a democratically elected leader because trhe surge is goingtoo well. Gee whiz, everyone loved Levin here yesterday when he praised the surge. Now he is "a moonbat" for criticizing Maliki.

Now they will move full force ahead as portraying Iraqis as insane, greedy... and "not ready for Democracy" and thus not worth our blood and treasure. Err....um....Levin has praised the surge and was lauded here yesterday by his fairweather friends at FR.
To: Austin Willard Wright
And Levin is going to run for re-election again and will win. This disgrace to my state and the nation will be in the senate until the day he dies, might even give KKK Byrd a run for the record...

Wait and see. Do you think that Levin will vote with the Republicans the next time the Democrats need another “show-vote”? I don’t.
