"That [Demoncrats] refusal to compromise deomonstrate nothing more than proof that thier agenda has nothing to do with the peoples business..." Posted by pwrslm at 06:35 AM : Apr 11, 2007

Don't tell me that war lovers don't have the biggest agenda of all.

And the ugliest and most cold blooded agenda.

P.S. Please learn to spell "their"

[bluestardad]

What would we talk about with Mr. Bush? How he and Condi Rice blew off the Intelligence briefing in August 2001 titled Bin Laden Planning attacks inside the United States Using Passenger Aircraft, as having no actionable intelligence. How he has never addressed the support of our enemies by the Saudi Arabian friends of his! Or that he squandered the good will of the world by starting a War in Iraq outside American National Interest on a Lie because Israeli Neocons wanted Iraq brought down. How Mr. Bush has stamped on civil liberties in the country and the justice department and FBI are tools for the Administration to attack its political enemies. How he has diverted funds from Afghanistan and the hunt for bin laden to Iraq that did not attack us on 911 and are funding Sunni Al Qaeda in Lebanon to counter Shiite Hamas against Israel. He has cut programs that strengthen the Military and supported the troops in the United States and Veterans affairs realms. How American School Kids are having bake sales to get band uniforms and school supplies while America sends millions of dollars to Israel and Arab states that are fighting each other for the last 1000 years.

Those who support the war in Iraq are under the influence of AIPAC.

pwrsim,

HELLO! DId you read the story? It is Bush who is refusing to negotiate. For him it is my way or the highway and he can stick that up his a*s*s. He had it that was with congress for six years. Things are different now and Congress decides what it will fund, not the executive.

[adian1-2009]

Let us just hope that Congress stands its ground. The killing must stop. The immolation of the lives of our troops for the sake of the arrogance of Bush must stop. The loss of so many innocent Iraqi lives must stop. The waste of our treasure for the benefit of a few must stop. The respect for our nation must be reconstructed. The decency and truthfulness in our executive must be brought back. The liars must be brought down. STOP BUSH!!!

[pwrslm]

Why doesnt anyone talk about the most obvious issue? That Demoncraps refusal to compromise deomonstrate nothing more than proof that thier agenda has nothing to do with the peoples business,

Its all about the almighty self importance of the party!! Socialism at its finest!!

"Retired Marine Gen. John "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander, was among those who rejected the job ["war czar"], the newspaper reported."

Why not offer it to Cindy Sheehan ?

She'd get us out of this fiasco.

"White House seeks "czar" to oversee wars: report"

Hang in there, you'll have one in 2009.

The name of the person will be "Obama" or "Clinton" or "Edwards."

The American people will make the selection.

See you at the polls in November.

[iceman_1960]

"Retired Marine Gen. John "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander, was among those who rejected the job ["war czar"], the newspaper reported.

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the h*ell they're going," Sheehan told the Post.

Sheehan said he believes that Vice President D*ick Cheney and his hawkish allies remain more powerful within the administration than pragmatists looking for a way out of Iraq, the Post reported.

"So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks,' " Sheehan told the paper [the Washington Post]."

[iceman_1960]

"White House seeks "czar" to oversee wars: report"

So it finally dawned on them that what they lack is a commander-in-chief worthy of the name.

That's why the war has been going badly.

(n.b. The word "czar" is derived from "Caesar."

Dubya isn't even a Little Caesar.)

"White House seeks "czar" to oversee wars: report"

(Is Mikhail Gorbachev available ? How about Boris Yeltsin ?)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House wants to appoint a high-profile overseer to manage the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but has had trouble finding someone to take the job, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

At least three retired four-star generals approached by the White House in recent weeks have turned down the position, the report said.

The war "czar" would report directly to President George W. Bush and national security adviser Stephen Hadley and would have authority to issue directions to the Pentagon and the State Department, the newspaper said.

"Front lines?"

Where the hell are the "front lines" in Bush's quagmire?

He sure likes to invoke images of real wars with his demagoging BS.

There are no "front lines" in his quagmire.

His "war" is an illegal occupation of a sovereign nation, it is not a battle against an enemy.

The primary enemy US forces have is George Bush and his supporters.

This pathetic LOSER has a bill on his desk giving him every dollar he asked for but he won't sign it because the Congress say's his little play war ends at a certain time.
Posted by skyk

This is the same guy who won't sign the bill to fully implement the 9/11 Commission recommendations because (get this) it gives TSA workers the right to organize a union. Gee, I wonder if all Bush cares about is keeping workers down, even more than he cares about security. Republican to the (bitter) end...

Is it possible to require a certain level of intelligence before allowing people to post comments on here? As if reading this article wasn't troubling enough, reading the half-baked comments was enough to get me to register so I could post one myself. Though I lean towards the liberal side of things, I say this from a neutral viewpoint. Bush created the jam that he is in. He dove into this war under false pretenses and has alienated a good portion of the nation in the process. It still amazes me that this whole thing is looked at as the Democrats verses the Rebublicans, or the Liberals verses the Conservatives. While Bush is up against a Democratic Congress, a majority of the nation has been against this war almost since its beginning. Voters spoke out against Bush in not one, but two elections, that he somehow managed to win anyway. I think we all understand that Congress has a role, as well as the Commander in Chief. Bush has not fufilled that role in the past 6 years, so why would he start worrying about it now? America is tired of fighting this never-ending war. We are tired of hearing of our young service men and women dying day after day. I know very few people who would argue the fact that Saddam Hussein's dictatorship was bad for Iraq, but what scares me more, is how damaging Bush's dictatorship will be for the United States. Can we survive 2 more years?

[walt1944-2009]

I do not understand how anyone can think that if Bush vetoes a spending bill with time limits on it, that it's Congress' fault. It's Congress fault because they don't agree with the Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler of the Universe? It's Congress fault for trying to stop getting troops killed and maimed in a war that's going no where when they should be fighting the real terrorists like Osama Bin Laden? It's Congress fault that our military is stretched so thin and in such bad shape that we are calling up the troops that are supposed to defend OUR country, not have the time to train them, and have them fight a civil war thousands of miles away, let alone get rotten care if they are wounded? Who's fault is it? A Congress representing what the people want, or one man who thinks he is above the law, a military genius, and tries to impose his will like a dictator?

[gdmoore2]

"If the Bush administration remains in power, failure in Iraq is a virtual certainty. "Staying the course" during a crisis spiraling rapidly downward will cost thousands of American and Iraqi lives, will continue to sap the operational readiness of this nation's armed forces, and will continue to strengthen Al Qaeda's hand. To paraphrase FDR, it's time to change horses. The one we're on is about to drown. "

I have had enough of this bring them home it is over. This war was a joke and we the American people should remember the cons. This is their fault so they can go to you know where.
