how about "just give them the #$%%^^@ money and pass the @$&$#% bills"

Resolution: Let's Roll.

See how easy these things are to write? They're only hard to write if you are trying to include a personal CYA, and think that piddling around with soldier's lives is OK when done for politics and political correctness.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, was said to be interested in toning down the resolution.

No doubt Leahy wanted to include a sentence or two about guaranteeing the terrorists here in the U.S.A. "civil rights protection" and a warning that support for the administration does not include support for the rule of law on the domestic front. And he wanted to include a "sense of the Senate" notion that John Ashcroft is a racist. Senator Byrd concurred.

[GeronL]

set back??? what set back???

[monkeyshine]

"This is too serious a matter," he said.

Give me a freaking break. This is not serious at all. It's purely political. Screw the Democrats.

[goldstategop]

LOL! The Rats can't muster the courage to say NO to Al Quaeda!!! Bwahahahaha!!!

[grannie9]

Who needs to wake up to this in the morning.. It's enough to make me puke... CYA-holes..Congress.

[Lion's Cub]

"It takes a couple of days to do a resolution under almost all circumstances," Mr. Lott said. "You've got to agree on the language. You're dealing with words that matter."

LOL I think he's having delusions of grandeur. All of these guys have so dishonored their oaths that many of us don't care what they write any more.

[Bullish]

Congress is chock full O' losers.

[Junior]

"in times of setback like this."

What setback? Nine men dead are not a setback! Are we a bunch of "I'm scared to break some eggs" sissies? In a single day in 1916 60,000 British soldiers were killed, wounded or made missing, and they didn't consider packing their bags and going home.

Closer to home, in a three day fight in 1863 more than 50,000 Americans were killed, wounded, captured or made missing -- yet neither side considered packing it in.

We are a bunch of woosies; we are in a war for national survival. Losing is not an option, yet the Democrats call nine dead -- only nine -- a "setback." Get some freakin' perspective!

[Neets]

I am not at a loss for words for that Tiny Tommy buttwipe....two words come to mind...first one begins with the letter F...second one the letter Y.

Here is what you say Tommy. "OBL, et al..prepare to meet those virgins".

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Why do we elect these dolts?

[ArneFufkin]

The stalemate ensued when the Democrats voted to put the adjective "alleged" in front of the word "president".

[DJ88]

They are so used to "air wars" where no soldiers actually have to fight face to face with the enemy, thanks to X42, that they have no idea what a real war is...I am getting sick and damn tired of Tom Daschle and his little bunch of whining minions. Someone needs to knock him off his stool. (no pun intended).

[cricket]

"Mr. Daschle said he believes it is important to send a message to the troops "in times of setback like this."

"setback"? Hope all of America gets the real message of Daschle and every Liberal out there; do hope they are making themselves perfectly clear. . .

p.s. to Tom: re your difficulty in choosing the right words, just call Bill Clinton. Bill will 'parse' your words perfectly and will not take but a few minutes to get the job done. He will choose words that make it look like you are supportive of the President, but in fact, mean otherwise. . .post parsing; and words that make it look like you care about the Military, when in fact you hate all things Military.

Yes, Clinton can dash that off in a minute Tom, just call him.

If you cannot reach him, Hillary is just down the hall. . .

[nicmarlo]

Senator Larry Craig, Idaho, strongly denounced Daschole this a.m. on Fox 'n Friends, saying it was obviously politically motivated...the dems tried to attack Bush through the economy, but it's obvious there's a rebound because of the June tax rebates....so they go after the war; Edie suggested to Senator Craig is Daschole's remarks motivated by his political aspirations? Craig said he believed they were.....TOO COOL!

[aShepard]

Mr. Lott said Republicans greeted Mr. Daschle's proposal on Tuesday with "uproarious laughter"

Come-on. Lott we don't need to hear about "uproarious laughter" There ain't nothing to laugh about when we have thousands dead in the states, and men and women in harms way.

Give me a break, cut out all the partisan bulls##t, and get something done.

[Ward Smythe]

You're dealing with words that matter.

Here's the problem folks: People with no matter (substance) dealing with words that do matter.

[linn37]

Hey worry about some dumb resolution later you DEms need to get back to demonizing Pickering!

[Republic]

Daschle and the democrats are so morally bereft they cannot even agree on the wording of a statement meant to bolster and sustain our troops. I pity them. What a truly soul sick bunch.
