It is not what I want...
It disappoints me that Mitch McConnell felt the need to couch his approval for the plan....with his outward display of not only skepticism, but threatening the Iraqis....
I don't think that is the way to START a new offensive...I think that even what Mitch McConnell said, emboldens the enemy, because he is giving a sort of "deadline"...by saying this is their "last chance"..
FGS...why do these idiots HAVE to try to sound so accomodating...why can't they come out and say that they are with Gen. Petraeus all of the way, and nothing further needs to be said, or SHOULD be said????????
Today the President said, "I've spent time talking about Iraq, and I'll talk with you a little bit later on. But my message to the American people was, I thought about all kinds of ideas about Iraq. And I told the American people I fully understand there are differences of opinion. But one of the things I have discovered is, in Washington, D.C. most people understand the consequences of failure. And if failure is not an option, then it's up to the President to come up with a plan that is more likely to succeed...."
Why am I, the Iraqis and the enemy, not getting the same message from the Republican Senators and Representatives?
