This past week convinced me that the left, especially the Democratic Congress, does not appreciate the fact that we are at war. When one is in a war, one attempts to amass as many allies as possible...
The adage, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" holds true.
During World War I, the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, killed over a million Armenians. Today, we call that genocide. Our Congress led by the Democrats picked this particular time to announce to the world how wrong that was and passed a resolution in a committee. Now the speaker, Ms. Pelosi, is trying to have the entire House pass this resolution. As a result, Turkey has recalled its ambassador, and is massing troops on the Iraqi border to deal with Kurdish rebels who conduct raids across the border into Turkey. Much of our supplies to support our troops in the war in Iraq pass through or over Turkey.
Why would our Democratic-led Congress pick this particular time to bring up this issue? There is only one reason -- to make it more difficult for the U.S. to win this war in Iraq.
Sen. Harry Reid has declared that the war is lost.
Rep. John Murtha has accused Marines of murder before any investigation, and investigations have proved that he was wrong.
The current resolution is merely another ploy to make it more difficult to win this war, especially since the surge is doing so well.
Since the left has done so much to make it more difficult to win this war, then they will be unable to revel in any type of victory.
Therefore, they must do whatever is necessary to ensure that victory does not occur.

LOL yourself! Hillary never looked that ‘bony’ - unless these are hired ‘fund-raisers’. Heh!
A day or two late and a couple of ‘canines’ short, lol!
““Military victory” is capture or neutralization of the enemies command and control.”
No argument from me. however, you might whisper this into the commander-in-chief’s ear, because he needs to hear it.
from his speech on Iraq:
“Victory will not look like the ones our fathers and grandfathers achieved. There will be no surrender ceremony on the deck of a battleship. But victory in Iraq will bring something new in the Arab world — a functioning democracy that polices its territory, upholds the rule of law, respects fundamental human liberties, and answers to its people.”
Frankly, I like your definition better.

Lol, good gif. I may have it but saved it anyway. That’s why I have almost 11 thousand graphics!!
How do you keep track of 11,000 graphics ?
Sounds like the Library of Congress.
Political opposition to how a war is being fought does not, in and of itself, constitute treason. On the other hand, I would think that spreading vicious lies about our troops, in such fashion as to give aid and comfort to the enemy, constitutes treason even if it's done in the name of "political opposition".
I actually have some measure of respect for the politicians who have been consistent in their opposition to the war. My complaint is with politicians who realized, after they initially supported the war, that winning the war would damage their political allies, and tried to protect their political allies by putting themselves in a situation where winning the war would damage them.
The Constitution was written centuries ago, probably before the phrase "conflict of interest" entered the lexicon. Nonetheless, I doubt they would approve of Senators who have a strong vested interest in this country's losing a war.
There are indeed some reasonable questions for debate. On the other hand, spreading vicious libel and slander against U.S. troops does nothing to further legitimate debate but aid and comfort enemies.
Brilliant work, Potsy!
Thanks SB for the ping, PL for the graphic.
They cross lines and I got the right to call them on it.
Why don’t you answer that for me?
I told you it was humor and you apparently don’t wish to accept this. Only only wish to continue to badger me.
You need to get over it.
Look on 9/11/01 the country was attacked by international terrorist organization(which has “influence” and cells through the world) called Al-Quaida ran by UBL (They admitted they did the attack!) that was joined at the hip with an Islamo-Fascist sovereign nation-state called Afghanistan. The Islamo-Fascist organization is called the Taliban. The head of this Islamo-Fascist organization and former head of this nation state is Mullah Omar (HVT3).
Ok why am I being Captain Obvious?
Simple this happened and there was no real US Constitutional Official Declaration of War !!!!!!!!!!
Such a declaration defines both by US constitutional law and by traditional international law the relationship between the belligerent nations. It defines the obligations of US citizens. It truly defines who is with us and who is against us and who is neutral and such a document can define what neutrality actually means!
In short Bush could have had a saber instead he reached for a putty knife.
That is why he is at 36% and we lost control of both Houses and maybe we will lose much more.
You don’t go to war half way ! Bush didn’t even choose half maybe a quarter or an eighth of the way !

Yes, it’s getting very hard now, in spite of folders, etc.
I just spent most of the day organizing and weeding things out. Deleting things I will probably want next week, lol.
Quite a few are family pictures in folders and ones my son took when he traveled all over the world. Many are even little cutouts of arms, legs, etc.
Thanks much LJ!
You are welcome. I’m glad you found the image you were looking for!
