These guys have got me scared I guess I'll have to defend my home. Does anybody know where I can buy some claymore mines and some rpg's.

netadmin: let's hope they come about Nov.15. In Michigan alone, their will be over 300,000 of us with high-powered rifles!

Well, here is some republirats standing on the railing of the ship. They like their cushy lifestyles and don't want to lose it with a failed "leader".

After over forty years of confusion, this news has offered me some clarity and direction.

This morning I told my "representatives" in Congress that, since their actions are in no way reflective of my personal position, I now understand that *my* ability to vote is limited to that which I do with my checkbook.

Consequently, "No more money for any political contribution to *anyone* from the Keeners until we stop making war on Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, and any other country that does not present a tangible and immediate threat to my Country".

"I am outraged, as are the majority of Americans. I'm a lifelong Republican, but it's past time for change," retired Maj. Gen. John Batiste told reporters in a conference call. "Our strategy in Iraq today is more of the same, a slow grind to nowhere which totally ignores the reality of Iraq and the lessons of history. Our president ignores sound military advice and surrounds himself with like-minded and compliant subordinates."

"The fact is, the president has never listened to the soldiers on the ground effectively," said retired NATO Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark, who ran for president in 2004. "This administration is not listening to the troops and is not supporting them."

netadmin1:

Are you buying Darth Vader's idea that the "terrorists" will "follow us home?"

What a crock of horsepucky! First, if the "terrorists" you are referring to are Al Queda, then you must realize that they are not only in Iraq, but in every other Muslim country in the world. Leaving Iraq will do nothing to change that.

Second, the vast majority of the violence in Iraq is Sunni against Shiia, and visa versa. I doubt that they want follow us to America so they can kill each other over here!

Wake up!

Unfortunately, when we do pull out of Iraq - and we need to - Everyone, including all the people that post on this site, better get ready for what is to come on our own shores. There won't be any hiding behind words either. It will be ante up time.

That's a typical neo-con post: "BE AFRAID!! BE AFRAID!! Only the Republican Party can save you!!" Why would Iraq attack us after we leave Iraq, when Iraq never attacked us in the first place? We should have all of our occupation forces in Afghanistan looking for the people that actually attacked us. Please keep up the scare tactics though if it makes you feel better - no one with a brain believes it.

"We asked them what's Plan B," said Davis. "We let them know that the status quo is not acceptable."

Davis said the president responded that if he began discussing a new strategy, his current one never would have a chance to succeed.

--This quote signifies the utter blindness of the GOP. Plan B? It's been established there is none, and they're asking now that they're threatened? Classic ignorance. Then there's the current occupant's reply... But what did we expect?

--Who expected to find the truth so succinctly put in the same article? Thank you for this service, Major General Batiste.

I say with glee, Run you Republican ***, run! Not that you'll acknowledge it, but your legacy is already one of degradation and shame, and you're not even out of office!

(CBS/AP)
Defense Secretary Robert Gates told lawmakers such a move would be disastrous. "In essence, the bill asks me to run the Department of Defense like a skiff, and I'm trying to drive the biggest supertanker in the world,"

Yes and its filled with oil for bush and cronies.

There are no republican moderates in congress as proven by their voting record. rubber stamp, rubber stamp. The only reason their position is changing is they know they will lose their cushy job. What bothers me is if they can supposedly see the light now,just where were they looking for the last four years. More republican lies.

"When the country is together, we are strong and can respond to our problems effectively," the three House Republicans wrote. "The more we are divided, the harder this becomes."

It is to bad they couldn't see this ten years ago when the right wing took control of congress.

bush is in denial almost to the point of being insane. He's had people cover and fix his mistakes his entire life.

"British defense contractor BAE Systems Plc moved to expand its share of the lucrative U.S. military market on Monday with a $4.1 billion deal to buy body armor and Army truck maker Armor Holdings Inc. AH.N .
The deal is the second multibillion-dollar U.S. purchase in two years for BAE, which is now the No. 8 supplier in the world's biggest military market."

Defense contractors getting rich is the real reason for the Iraq invasion, all other reasons are lies. Shame on everyone close to the White House for killing our troops for money.

[forthepeopl1]

hey can anyone tell me were is former sec.powell???

he retired after he was duiped by the president,vp,rice,rumsfeld so were is he????????????

[bigsk8fan]

Americans were behind Bush when he went to Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban which protected the Al Qaeda forces who attacked USA on 9/11. But Iraq is clearly an illegal war of aggression. It made USA's cause unjust. Time to get a new set to replace the pro-war forces (both Dems and Reps who continue to support the Iraq War must go).

Nice to see some Republicans and Generals saying this too.

Maj. Gen. John Batiste "Our president ignores sound military advice and surrounds himself with like-minded and compliant subordinates."
How much clearer can it be said, even for a dumb a55 like Bush?
