I am so angry about these idiots. Do they realize what emboldened Bin Laden in the first place was the Russians giving up and retreating from Afghanistan? Do they realize what would happen if we did pull out? The terrorists would declare victory and come after us like never before. I am disgusted with these people putting their own reelection ahead of the country's security. It is beyond pathetic and dangerous!

Glad you posted. I, too, am so angry. I haven't been able to post a coherent message.

I worked hard to get GWB re-elected. I've never worked on a campaign before.

Why in the World would I vote for any of the Republicans who are supporting these amendments? Much less work for their campaigns? Not for their Senate seats nor for President. Why would I vote for someone who is going to vote against my interests? That would be like voting for the other party .....

Who do they think is going to vote for them?

I'm with you. I am absolutely DISGUSTED with those spineless Republican Senators. Based on their actions in the Senate, they're nothing but a bunch of eunuchs. They are jeopordizing the security of our country, for the sake of getting re-elected. I will be sure to call my 2 Republican Senators (RINO Specter and possibly-RINO Santorum) when I get my thoughts together and can make a coherent phone call.

"what emboldened Bin Laden in the first place was the Russians giving up and retreating from Afghanistan?"

Excellent point, anything less than a strong victory to the finish with a solid Iraqi government in place with its own adequate security will be a catastrophe and will greatly embolden terrorist recruiting to say "See, just as we said, these Americans do not have the will and determination to defeat our jihad!" Whatever someone thinks of the original decision to go into Iraq, it would be NUTSO to weaken now, to give any signs at all that we will hightail it out of there before the job is done. Al Qaeda recruiters will be citing the Russians leaving Afghanistan, Clinton leaving Somalia, etc. etc. and to add in any retreat at all from Iraq would have disatrous effects for many years to come.
