Comments on: GOP Senators: Change Course On Iraq Now

Several Republicans Say They Don’t Want To Wait Until September

[ramos937]

As a Democrat, I really believe that Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, stance of the Iraq War plus his stance on illegal immigration virtually defeats his reelection bid in 2008. Most of Texas, like the USA opposes the war and the Hispanc electorate pasasionally believes in comprehensive immigation that provides a path to citizenship. So his chances are dramatically reduced for reelection.

As an American, I worry that we can become a one party system. Remember, power tends to corrupt and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.

From the BBC (a real news outlet):

(if US forces are withdrawn) "For Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, the danger is that he would be left in the lurch, with a weak government and inadequate security forces."

Source:

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6288420.stm

Translation:

Malaki would have to get a real job and try to live in the mess he and his cronies made while they dickered around pretending to be a "government."

Of course, given the likelihood he and his cronies stole those billions of "missing" US tax dollars wasted in Iraq, he and his cronies have probably already bought multi-million dollar estates on the Riviera, or in South America.

George Bush and Cheney should be impeached and indicted for war crimes, conspiracy to commit murder, fraud and numerous other offenses related to the (idiotic) "war on terror."

George Bush and the GOP:

Pride wins versus country

It would be amusing to watch the GOP split over this if it weren't for the fact that our troops continuing to die unnecessarily for a failed policy.

Legislation ordering combat to end next spring.

Next spring? Don't you seem a bit over confident that anyone will even aknowledge you are even a government by then? Bush's state of the union viewers will be his mommy and daddy. Lifestyles of the rich and ignored. I can see a future of yawl hanging around on city streets with the bumbs yelling "please look at my watch! It's a Rolex! A Rolex! I'm rich and important! What is wrong with you people!"

I an curious as to what these "Republican" senators will do when Bush tells them to "fokov", as he has repeatedly told "Democrats", and the rest of the American people, as well as to the rest of the world...

NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN!

Three of our last four President have been Communists, I mean Republicans, and the single income middle class is gone. They swindle people at election time by convulsing and "Praising the Lord," but their "works" scream "LOVERS OF MONEY." If the Republicans are the moral party, than I'm Elvis Presley.

You've got people with Masters Degrees working at Go Mart for minimum wage. These Communists, I mean Republicans, have been raised in families that for generations have believed in the Plantation Owner Economy, where everyone works for peanuts while a very small percentage have any financil breathing room.

NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN

In some ways life is like the movies, World Leaders are like Movie Directors in many ways because they have the power and their nations resources to create certain realities. In that context they have the power to create any type of movie they want. This current crop of World Leaders only seem to be interested in creating Horror Movies and Bloody Nasty Horror Movies at that!! Earth not only needs a set of new positive Scripts, it needs to replace many of its Horror Movie Directors too! This alone is what makes Al Gore attractive, Earth needs boring, with all the blood letting, boring looks good!

As blatantly self-serving as these Senators' changes of heart are, they are proof that our system is starting to work, again. These Senators are starting to do their jobs, representing the citizens of the US and working for them not the white house.

Waiting for September means a few hundred more American lives lost to allow bush to save face, 3,610 should be enough. There's no reason to believe that the Iraqi government, that has met ZERO of the 100 or so benchmarks and whose security forces now independently control ZERO percent of the country, are suddenly going to do in 2 months what they haven't done in over 2 years.
