The political posturing doesn't stop with attacks on the White House. When Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, the new U.S. commander in Iraq, was asked by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee if such a non-binding measure would have the effect of aiding and abetting the enemy, he replied, "Yes, sir." For his straightforward, common sense response, he was admonished by an erstwhile Republican to avoid being "too political." This "gentleman of the Senate," fond of referring to himself as his state's "senior senator," has of course introduced his own pet resolution disputing the president's claim to be commander in chief.

Gen. Petraeus, meet Sen. Betrayus.

Exactly! Col. North was too much of a gentleman to mention it was Warner.

He should have told the Senator where to go. Politics is the Senator's realm, not the purview of someone responsible for the lives of our soldiers.

Can someone post a picture of a RINO without a backbone?

Love it! It absolutely infuriates me when I hear people talk about how we are losing the war. We are NOT losing--at least not militarily.

I have to assume Senator Betrayus is just plain stupid. If he's intelligent, then he MUST know any resolution against the "surge" and any talk of withdrawal only aids the enemy. If he indeed knows and gives comfort to our enemies, then he's a traitor. No, I have to assume he's as dumb as a brick.
