SENATE REPUBLICANS PUSH FOR PLAN ON ENDING WAR
Name anyone who has ever said Iraq was behind 9/11. Just one.
Winning a war requires, among other things, convincing the enemy that holding out won't accomplish anything. The sooner the enemy is convinced of this, the sooner victory will be achieved.
What the Democrats want to do is tell the enemy that if they can hold out for a certain length of time, they will be victorious. I do not see how such a thing would not be construed as a huge aid and comfort. And I'm familiar enough with the Constitution to know where those words appear.
They could reject both. They don't *have* to do anything.
Yep. I agree, and stand corrected. But it appears that all the Warner-Frist amendment demands of the administration is a routine update of its present reporting practice. And as the "law" applies only to the Executive, it is probably not justiciable anyway. What is Congress going to do if the report isn't forthcoming?
These amendments are politics in a fairly pure form.
UN Confirms: WMDs Smuggled Out of Iraq

Mission accomplished noted the defeat of Saddam's army. Since then, we've been dealing with criminals trying to destablize the government of our Iraqi allies.
No it isn't
Wait, I've seen this argument in the WaPo this weekend.
You must be Dana Millbank or Walter Pincus.
We agree!
Middle East muslims have gone insane with their jihad against the west and Isreal. Iraq was under a cease fire, they violated the terms of the cease fire for years. We have to change the middle east culture. Iraq was an open door. They violated the cease fire agreement, and we moved in. Now seeds of democracy are planted in the middle east. They were planted in Afghanistan as well. You said Iraq was not a threat. The whole middle east is a threat. Look at the culture of hate and ignorance that is being taught to the people there from the time of children.
If we dont stop them, millions will die. Now we are Installing democracy so the people will live in freedom in afghanistan and iraq. Freedom will spread. We will unbalance the middle east and bring sanity there.
Not a threat to US security? I am amazed at the ignorance of people that say the things you say. This effort will save many lives in the future.
Yes .. they are playing politics
Also remember .. the President did mention vetoing this spending bill because of many of the amendments and over spending of pork projects
"$60 billion of our hard-earned tax dollars on a war against a 3d world country with a 5th rate military"
Hey WARD Churchillbluff! I am going to call you names to aggravate you and denigrate your stupid insipid positions.
This war is not just about Iraq, dupek! We are fighting elements of Al Queada throughout the Mid-east including hostile radical Islamic regimes in Iran , Syria and other places. The battle for Iraq is much like Guadalcanal(a small insigificant island in the Solomons) where lots of blood was shed and many millions of $ of equipment and resources exhausted. But it was there where the war turned against the Japanese. These fanatical Muslims are pouring alot of their resources into Iraq too and serious about undermining US morale using their IEDs which are very sophisticated hi-tech devices and are not manufactured in Iraq. Their aim is to win a political war and from what I can see they have suceeded into swaying many gutless,soft Americans like yourself into quitting. Grow up and grow a pair!!
The eradication of Al-Qaeda.
Chris Matthews
Another shabby strawman from Neville, the only Freeper as pathetic as Murrymom.
Sheesh.
:-)
I think McCain had some pretty good ideas for winning over America to the war effort in his speech the other day.
Still getting your sh!!ty propaganda faxes from John Kerry, I see.
Hmmmm ... I do recall Saddam declaring a war on us a few years back
Peace .. Love .. No War .. Hug A Terrorist
I think President Bush and his supporters want a end to the war. But on our terms not a bunch of Rino's.
Don't get in the way of her greasy propaganda. She hates that.
