What a load of *** pepperwood, Osama Bin Laden aka Tim Osman is nothing more than a CIA operative to begin with anyways. Bin Laden isn't even on the FBI's most wanted list, and bush isn't concerned about him. Bin Laden group his families construction group builds US military bases in the middle east and has very close ties to the Bush family and his Daddys Carlyle Group.

If you look at everything that has happened, who profits... Bushs, Bin Ladens, Saudi Royal Family, and Exxon.

There's your terrorists right there.

scott4261: Well, let most of the extreme stuff coming from the neocons wash over you. These extremists post stuff they would never have the courage to repeat verbally in public, nor going door-to-door in a campaign. Neoconservatism is just another one of those passing ideological fads, and will soon fade away.

scott4621: U.S. troops will likely begin disengaging from Iraq no later than February, 2009, given current voter opinion and the likely outcome of the 2008 election. I expect Republicans will continue to hide behind the troops every time Bush's management of the war is questioned. Congressional investigations of the war should start soon. Eventually, there will be a special prosecutor assigned, and so on. Thinking back to Watergate, no political party can fight among themselves like the Republicans. It is going to be quite the spectacle. It will be amusing when the Republicans start calling each other "coward."

Ya know...I keep on hoping I will wake up and this whole presidency, from the Florida fiasco to 9/11 to the war to the s c r e w i n g of the poor - all of it - I keep hoping I will wake up from this BAD DREAM that never seems to end! These guys are pure evil and I just pray that our country and the world survive until they are out of office. Then, maybe - just maybe - we can save both.

"SOMETIMES I WONDER IF LIBERALISM ISN'T A MENTAL DISORDER...most people I know are a glass is half-full kind of people, whereas liberals see nothing but doom, gloom, and surrender...

Posted by processor2"

Yes processor, liberalism is a mental health condition that has appeared in mankind for ages. You and your allies have successfully avoided it. Once exposed, recovery is difficult. It's called REALITY and your kind have avoided it for over 6 years, now.

Your glass analogy is interesting, but you and little dickey c somehow forget that your "half-glassed" argument requires the actual presence of a glass. Without the glass, you have only a puddle. Dumbya and Dickey's foreign policy has piddled all over Iraq.

The invasion of Iraq was sickly.
It was ill-
conceived,
planned,
provisioned,
organized,
supplied
and prosecuted.
The only acceptable aspect is the performance of our military. You and your fellows following the deluded-in-chief, like the war, are simply ill.

Rep. John Murtha Urged Somalia Pullout in '93

After terrorists attacked U.S. troops in Mogadishu, Somalia 12 years ago, anti-Iraq war Democrat, Rep. John Murtha urged then-President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from the region.

Clinton took the advice and ordered the withdrawal - a decision that Osama bin Laden would later credit with emboldening his terrorist fighters and encouraging him to mount further attacks against the U.S.

The Pennsylvania Democrat announced that President Clinton had been "listening to our suggestions. And I think you'll see him move those troops out very quickly."

Two weeks later, after 18 U.S. Rangers were killed in the battle of Mogadishu, Murtha visited U.S. forces in Somalia.

Upon his return he proclaimed to the world that the Mogadishu defeat had a devastating impact on the Rangers' morale.

The comments were eerily similar to Murtha's assessment of U.S involvement in Iraq last week, when he declared, "the U.S. cannot accomplish anything further militarily. It is time to bring [the troops] home."

Taking Murtha's advice back then, however, turned out to have deadly consequences for U.S. security.

In a 1998 interview with ABC's John Miller, Osama bin Laden said that America's withdrawal from Somalia had emboldened his burgeoning al Qaida force and encouraged him to plan new attacks.

Rep. Murtha (thirty-seven years service as decorated Marine) and Sen. Webb (another veteran and decorated Marine) represent the voice of the military in the current U.S. Congress. Military leaders understand what the current president has done to our military readiness, let alone the health and morale of the troops. SIt may be a good time for you and your liberal friends to join up with the enemy. I think they are going to need all the help they can get. "Stop-loss" policies have forced troops into repeated and extended tours of duty. We still do not have the armor (both body and humvee) after nearly four years of war, but the defense contractors seem to make plenty of profit while Ford & GM lay off more American workers. Meanwhile, Bush and Co. never let an opportunity pass to use the troops for a photo-op, but cannot seem to support them when the troops need them. Check the cuts in VA benefits, the cover-up of Pat Tillman's death, the sell-out of the grunts who carried the orders to torture, etc. It's shameful and disgusting how some Americans seem to buy the line that Republicans "support the troops" simply because the Republicans themselves having repeated the mantra again and again. In Bush's own words, you have to "catapult the propaganda" in order to sell it to an apathetic and ignorant public.

So, the socialist/marxist/leninists (aka Democrats)that have seized control of congress last November will take a vote today on the surrender of our country.

This resolution is a disaster of historical proportions.

The Democrap Party today will show the world what wimps and whiners that Democrats really are.

Heaven help us.
