Chuck Schumer Addresses Troops in Anbar: You Failed
Leibowitz's Canticle ^ | September 5, 2007 | Leibowitz

Posted on 09/05/2007 3:37:36 PM PDT by Bob Leibowitz

Chuck Schumer, senior Senator from New York and self-described member of the Democratic leadership team in the Senate, really knows how to make friends and influence people.

This morning, in a speech on the Senate floor, he explicitly told the U. S. Marines in Anbar province that they've failed and are a part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Let me be clear. The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al-Qaeda said to these tribes, "We have to fight al-Qaeda ourselves."

It wasn't that the surge brought peace here, it was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here and that was because there was no one else there protecting. (Emphasis in original.)

I finally got through to Schumcky’s Washington number. Pimple faced kid answering the phone said “the senator has just spoke again on the senate floor or will be speaking again soon to clarify his remarks. Watch C-Span”...then he hung up on me:)

There is a difference between “Free Speech” and treason. Schumer, Murtha, Reid, Kennedy and Pelosi have ALL crossed this line and someone needs to start rounding them for trial an execution.

That would require an Administration with forged steel balls and right now we don’t have one.

I hope our troops will soon “speak” to him, forcefully.

Along with Kusinich in Syria, and RP on stage last night trashing our mission as a Republican running for President of the United States, and IN FRONT OF THE WORLD, I say again; its past time to build the gallows.

I wish Alfonse Demato would fight this Chucky turd-burgler to get his old U.S. senate seat back.
