Add some conditions Reid. No more funding until he starts signing some bills to fund spending in the USA. That''s right budget bills and damned cheap compared to the pork laden crud that the Republican Congress passed in the past.

There was never any good politician in America. Never.. With today''s media? George Washington woulda been condemned. We''re experiencing the media sensation.. The x-ray machine.. that delves into the pours of people''s faces and makes us all involuntary doctors. We''re faced with the dilemma of being accountable to our own words that got us here.. and nobody is up to the challenge.

This is all just a case of virtual hype brian. The war? Politics? The media? Everything. "What we once were" is an old black and white movie ya saw years ago, that you believed was true, and likely wasn''t. In order to have virtue in one''s government, one has to have a virtuous government. And the only virtuous government around here is the enemies..

Hey One_Pathetic_American:

Your heroes, the chickenhawk Bush/Cheney regieme, deliberately LIED us into a NEEDLESS War on Iraq. If you don''t get it, get your head our of your a*s*s and do your homework.

These SOBs give massive tax cuts to the filthy rich, then send 3,800 middleclass troops to their DEATH, as cannon fodder for their imperial War For Power and Profit.

There are not too many of you idiots left who have still not figured out that Cheney Bush are lying, murderous thugs who have made chumps out of you.

Pathetic American, your fear and fake-patriotism makes you want to follow these War Criminals as they run our nation into the ground. You would have made a good Nazi.

These "conditions" should have been on every bill after it was determined that there was indeed no "clear and present danger" to the US, and that Bush had lied as pretext to invade a country that was not a threat to us.

That this is the first time that it has happened means that the entire federal government, both parties in both houses have sacrificed the lives of US soldiers and innocent Iraqis for no reason, other than personal enrichment.

If "We the people" allow these people to live, unaccountable for their crimes against humanity, on the riches they have gained from shedding innocent blood, not being tried and imprisoned for breaking the laws and provisions of the constitution they swore an oath to protect, and laughing at us with such a degree of impunity that they can as in Alaska, embroider and wear caps with "Corrupt Ba*stards Club", then not only have we already lost America, but we deserved to lose it, with the Limbaugh fan war worshipers, Bush sycophant fascists and Robertson/Buchanan racists actually being the biggest suckers amongst us.

Harry Reid will pay a high price for his anti-American, anti-troop politics soon enough.

In the mean time, Harry and Nancy are still waving the white flag, and giving comfort to the enemy.

Your day will come, Democrats - and you will pay through the nose for your deeds.

Conditions are abandoment of what are soldiers fought and died for. Period!

They fought and died in vain for nothing more then the huge profits of war contractors and big oil. With some skimmed off kickback money for Bush and Cheney''s offshore bank accounts too of course. This is not a war, it''s an armed robbery with the neocons using our soldiers as the weapon and the US treasury as the bank being robbed. This is grand larceny on a historic scale and Bush and Cheney are heads of the crime family that''s doing the stealing.

CAMPING OUT WITH HALIBURTION
The John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which was supported by Clinton, Obama and McCain, permits militarized police round-ups and detention of protesters ("potential terrorists") and other "undesirables" for detention in facilities which are already contracted for and under construction by Kellog, Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton. This Law, which was sold to an "emergency managed" and willfully gullible public in the wake of the 9/11 attacks as a necessary measure needed by our President in order to fight his "global war on terrorism," permits the indefinite detention of American citizens who resists the foreign and domestic agenda of our President. The Journal of Counterterrorism & Homeland Security International reported recently that global engineering and technical services powerhouse, Kellog, Brown & Root announced during January 2006 that its Government and Infrastructure division had been awarded a (no bid) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to build these detainment camps with a maximum total value of $385 million over a five year term, and that this contract called for the company to build "temporary detention and processing capabilities" to augment existing U.S. government Detention and Removal Operations and to support "the rapid development of new programs." New Programs? Could it possibly get any worse? Why would the president be so concerned about Americans protesting? Aren''t we all happy campers?

ARE WE A NATION OF LAWS?
Consider the Patriot Act. The Law is 342 pages long, or 57,000 words, making it a bit longer than Dostoevsky''s "Notes from Underground" or, if you''re partial to pigs, about twice the size of Orwell''s "Animal Farm." The Patriot Act is the reigning champion of our government''s recent un-American activities. When it was first paraded before Congress and the Senate following the 9/11 attacks, few Members, other than Congressman, Ron Paul dared to vote against it. Most in Congress simply gave it their rubber-stamp of approval, without ever reading it. Why bother? It was, after all, named the "USA Patriot Act." It must be a good thing. Right? Now in effect, the Law wrecks a generation''s worth of constitutional protections against government snooping, legalizing police-state tactics in searches and seizures, criminalizing certain forms of speech and political activity, and opening the way for the mistreatment of foreigners in government custody and wholesale expulsions and imprisonment. It is a repugnant, unnecessary Law that goes against the very principles its name wrongly implies. Yet, it remains unchecked and unbalanced by public opinion, Lawmakers or the Courts. So, yes, we''re a nation of Laws. But the Laws aren''t much to speak of when they''re designed to hoodwink the public to win its docility. Neither is public responsibility much to speak of these days when its docility is secured with nothing more than a ploy-riddled play on the word "patriot."
