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.)

So will anyone in the RNC simply say “OK. Senator - where is your evidence for your accusations aginst our soldiers? Either back up your accusations with facts or apologize to our men and women in uniform.”

This is vintage Schumer, vile and disgusting.

However, the real outrage is that in a sane world there would be at least a few Republican Senators and Congressmen who would step forth and publicly call him the liar that he is. Their cowardice is what allows political punks and thugs like Schumer, Reid and Pelosi to get away with their crap.

Someone needs to drop this gutless piece of sh*t into the marine compound in Anbar and let them have at him.

What a contemptable cowardly @sshole.

I would like a lawyer to contact me. I am going to sue him for besmirching my son’s honor and actions. I, as in me personally myself, would like to charge him with treason, specifically aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war. Since I am not a lawyer, but really a mild-mannered frumpy middle-aged woman, I need some help with this.

Is there a lawyer willing to stand with me?

There are no words, other than mega profanity, that can express my anger at Senator Shmuck.

He is utterly void of honor!!

That would be another law degree gone to non-productive use, much like many of the second career lawyer loser babes I dated before I met the bride.
