It strains credulity how a vote of no confidence for a criminally incompetent President and a criminal administration translates as a vote of no confidence for the troops.

Partition Iraq, bring the troops home, kick the bums out of office and sue them for every missing dollar.

The American people may be many things, but they're not stupid.

Unfortunately there were just enough of the stupid, unthinking, brainwashed, gingoistic, blindly loyal ones to have elected our current Failure in Chief a second thime.

it remainsd to be seen if any of them have learned anything over the past six years.

To BLUESTARDAD:

I agree with all points you make, except one: your mixed metaphor on Israel.

I too, can no longer deal with anything about conservacrat Joe Lieberman. And I am aware that AIPAC is an extremely strong lobby, and would indeed guess that is due to much of the membership being Armageddon-bound right-wing Christian.

Yet, that doesn't scare me (a Jewish , liberal Democrat) any more than extreme left-wingers like the anti-Zionist (and possibly anti-semitic) Jimmy Carter. [By the way, the noun "Semitist" you use should be either Zionist or Semite.]

I am also glad that most moderate Christians also support Israel. And I am sad that too many Jews believe they have to be Republicans to muster support for Israel.

History is certain that Israel has never been the agressor, and by anbody's bible, defending yourself is good & righteous.

And please know ... there's not a single American Jew that "would gladly sell thousands of American soldiers lives to promote Israeli interest!", as you say.

The Elite Minyan group - you mean for a minimum of only $100,000 dollars
a year I too can shape world policy? Tell me more!

I especially like the bit about enjoying "the exclusivity you deserve."

This thing borders on parody, but alas, unfortunately it is all too real.

If Bush is not impeached now, he will be gone after 2008. But the problem is can we wait till then? By that time this country could be in a war we don't want. I say get rid of Bush now and be done with it. He's stupid anyway. He has no sense of morals and he sure can't think that's for sure.

You may have noticed the coming surge of American public opinion against using our military to promote the agenda of other Countries! American people are learning it is ok to disagree with a President who is friends of Saudi Arabia and who gives them special treatment on the world stage at the expense of American lives. For years no one would say anything against promoting the Israeli agenda for fear of being labeled an anti-Semitist but now America is learning it is also acceptable to disagree with Israeli promoters like AIPAC members, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and William Kristol of the Weekly Standard who would gladly sell thousands of American soldiers lives to promote Israeli interest! Now these same policies and neocons are pushing our soldiers toward another war in Iran. American military is made to protect American interest not fight proxy wars in the interest of other countries! American blood and treasure should be spent only in American interest! The Current Vice President of the United States felt the need to jump on a plane on a moments notice and fly to Saudi Arabia at the beckon call of the house of Saudi. He showed the world by his actions who his true masters were! As for the Rest of us Americans, The Statue of Liberty Stands in New York Harbor and is not Kneeling in the desert of the Middle East!

Giulani, like Hillary, has too much baggage to make it through the White House front door.....

RE: "There's no way they'll walk away from this fiasco."

If Republicans really think they can just nominate Rudy Giuliani (whose entire campaign, I predict, will be "I was really cool on 9/11") and tiptoe through the tulips back into the White House, they are seriously deluded.

The American people may be many things, but they're not stupid.

There are right now Navy Seamen being used in the role of Combat Infantrymen in Iraq because the Marines and Army are stretched so thin. These Seamen get a rush thru Small Unit training program and are given a rifle and are integrated into combat arms maneuver units.

Bush is already trying to. He's blaming the failure in Afghanistan on NATO and the failure in Iraq on the Iraqis themselves and Iran.

It's everyone's fault but George's.......
