Skelton starts it off by blaming the Iraqi parliament. Funny, I wonder if our Congress and their families had been the targets of assassination, I wonder how much they would accomplish.

I may be missing something here, but based on everything I have heard right now, if all of our representives walked out of that room united and said we’re going to make this work, Iran, Syria, Al Qaeda and the rest of the terrorists in the ME would be dealt a crushing blow.

Conservatives often are branded as not being adaptive or not able to change their positions, how come the Dems can’t change their view on winning the war?

The Iraqi legislature is FAR MORE EFFECTIVE than the Democrat Congress!!!

At least the IRAQI’s are meeting, or making progress on, THIER benchmarks!!

Umm. I don’t think any member of the current DO NOTHING
US CONGRESS should be criticizing any legislative body for “sitting on their thumbs.”

Get ready to hear the dems make complete idiots of themselves...LOL
My prediction is that we will have no moonbat outbursts during the dems talking points, but will have one or two more during the republicans questions.

The 101st had Mosul in AWESOME working order. It was really happening- and with a myraid of sunni and shia and kurds eventually working together. Petraeus keeps the big picture in mind all the time..

The Dems are more concerned about political advantage than the welfare of our country. Simple as that.
