Make the Congress and the Administration define who the enemy is in Iraq. The Neocons cannot tell you who we are sending our troops to fight. It is a sure bet that the Chicken Hawks are not going to go fight. Saudis are aiding the Sunnis and Iran is aiding the Shiites and the 12 former members of Saddam%u2019s regime are running scared hiding in caves! So who do we tell our troops to fire upon? Why is America even there?

[karlimhof]

can anyone explain "time is short in Irak"? Do they have different clocks there???

Uh, maybe he means the resistance groups are getting bigger and stronger, like in a civil war?

And maybe he thinks we can stop that cement truck?

Until this war started, I thought most people were more intelligent than me, now I'm feeling like rocket scientist.

When pro- escalation groups argue that bringing our troops back soon would mean that many of our soldiers died in vain, they forget that a soldier does not fight for a cause. Glory of a solder is to give up everything, even life, by following the orders of the superior, however shortsighted, without question. How many people can do that? Long live our brave soldiers. Politicians cook up a cause, and soldiers suffer. Bring our troops back, and soon. USA has no moral responsibility of %u201Cprotecting%u201D democracy in Middle East. Democracy is dead on arrival in that entire region, so is all the noise about %u201Cliberating the women%u201D there. Make USA better with better moral life, better education and superior health care.

This is the contact address for your Senator! Send them a message of your opinion. All Class Two Senators are up for Reelection in 2008.

Why did they Bush/Cheney/Rummy let Bin Laden get away?

Easy to figure out~ it simply wasn't in the Project for the New American Century play book. Bush wanted to cut 'n run in Afghanistan as soon as he could to get to the real prize, Iraq and their oil. Remember GOP (Gas, Oil & Petroleum)

[karlimhof]

But the loyal, valiant, brave soldiers will still be dead. What a way to support our troops! What wonderfully short sighted people we are!

Right on - it's all a power game of chess - and we are the pieces - expendable, replaceable - and why? BECAUSE WE GO TO THE SLAUGHTER FOR IDEALS & PRINCIPLES and those *** know it and pull our strings everytime.

We should have from now on a law that says as soon as our government starts making war noises - we convene Congress and WE DISCUSS IT FIRST.

Old Sen, Robert Byrd said true, standing ALONE in the Senate speaking to the walls (recorded on youtube): "THIS HOUSE IS ERRILY SILENT, THERE IS NO DISCUSSION, THERE'S NOTHING". Makes me shiver when I hear it live, knowing the old Byrd was right.

This Squid is another Bobble Head that Supports the Bush party line he would sell his mother for another star!

[changeit4]

It doesn't quite make sense that this administration wouldn't capitalize on the death of bin Laden. Where's the report of his death, or is there one?

I have noticed that he's not reading any of his threats or jihadist morale boosters on Arab TV much anymore...

"What we have been doing has not been working. We have got to be doing, it seems to me, something different." brilliant!! give the man a pay raise. Gee I wonder how long he spent coming up with this? No wonder they're putting him in charge.

Ok, what do we do after that?

[changeit4]

"The president said he doesn't understand why senators would confirm a new top general for Iraq but vote against the buildup the general supports. He sees that as a 'contradictory message.'"

Bush doesn't understand--the only truth in the report.

What I don't understand is why a Navy man is going to be in charge of a ground war. Nothing smells of desperation like this one.

Congress will confirm anyone who can help clean up Bush's mess. Petraeus is the latest in a long line of puppets and scapegoats for this administration. His confirmation, and ultimately his resignation, is a moot point since Congress can't stop the bloodletting.

The general supports the troop buildup because you told him to, not because he's a volunteer. Early retirement, General?

Once the wealthy start losing their money because of this war then we will leave until then they are making money so we stay. What part of democracy do you not understand. The rich say what the poor must do.

DUH that's because he's too STUPID

50,000 men died fighting in Viet Nam for nothing. The communists took over, hated us, then decided to deal with us. Viet Nam is now our friends and trading partner.

Several thousand men and women have died fighting in Iraq, and it will turn out to be for nothing. Some radical regime will take over, hate us, then decide to deal with us. It won't be long until Iraq is our friend and trading partner.

But the loyal, valiant, brave soldiers will still be dead. What a way to support our troops! What wonderfully short sighted people we are!

Hopefully he's dead.

May have laughed himself to death listening to the neocons say 'remember 9/11' when discussing Iraq.

[random_radar]

Osama Bin Laden died a long time ago. President Bush and other government officials admitted this, then decided to cover it up for PR purposes.

[dallison7]

Just one question:

WHERE IS BIN LADEN??
