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?
I have no idea....I heard Sen. Ensign on with Hugh Hewitt last night...and Hugh was BEGGING him to not let any resolution go on the Senate floor...and told him about the "pledge"...
But, Ensign sounded like he thinks this is what the "American people" want...I wouldn't count on him.
BTW...MOST of these Dems and Rinos bringing up these resolutions made pre-Iraq war statements that were, in some cases, more vehement about going, than even Pres. Bush made..
I think the GOP (if there are any) in the Senate that do NOT want these resolutions, should bring a stack of the quotes made by these same Senators, talking about the necessity of this war....and ask them each, personally, if they, yet again, want to make a statement that will be in the Congressional Record....just as STUPID as the ones they have already made....
