    How come no one wants to talk about the Bush veto and
    the will of the American people.

    Come on all you "We surrender" people. Hiding behind the
    skirt of Ms. Pelosi? Or out in the dessert on the real
    estate guys land.

    Ok, Bush's veto goes against the will of the American people.

    Thanks for bringing it up.

    Well see all the same old crowd are doing the same old thing.
    Telling the same old lies.

    We will see if it is the will of the people when they attempt to
    override the veto. And who is cutting off funds when they try
    to shove it down Bush throat. As one good dimm-o-crap said.

    Why would anyone think a veto or a failure to override a veto demonstrates the will of the people?

    32. Do you approve or disapprove of Congress setting a deadline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq?

    Approve 54%
    Disapprove 42%
    (Don’t know) 3%

    I have to laugh at the dimm-o-crap supporters. Like you know
    global warming people. You disagree with them, you are
    automatically wrong and they "of course" know they are
    right in all aspects.

    They are what they are: dimm-o-CRAPS. So full of themselves.

    Is that why they had to put 24 billion in pork in the bill
    to show the will of the people.

    C'mon CD even you know that most polls are biased. People voting 'against something' are most likely to vote to have that sentiment heard than people voting 'in favor of something'. Studies nowadays have to be conducted and constructed in highly creative ways in order to remove subjectivities.

    ray please try and comprehend this concept again. we have already won the war. I distinctly rememebr a flight suit photo op with a mission accomplished banner behind a chickenhawk. we are refereeing a civil war..got it? you may find it acceptable to continually put or boys in harms way to prove a point but some of us actually want to allow the iraqis to sink or swim. at what point do we leave? so this notion of surrendering? to who? who are we giving up against? it's not al-qaeda? it's not saddam's army? so who are we waving to white flag to? OH wait.. your spoutring a GOP talking point..oh never mind ray you aure are funny for a senile old bas

    There is no doubt the Dems are playing this up, but most Americans HAVE come to the conclusion that the war has been very poorly run and that Bush is unlikely to pull this off successfully.

    How long should we wait for "victory around the corner"?

    Personally, I think what they are doing now has the best chance yet of stabilizing the country, but that it is too little, too late.

    Ultimately it MUST fall to the Iraqis themselves, so why wait longer to do the inevitable?

    "Just one more chance" may cut it when you are being asked by a relative for a loan, but when we are 4 years into a 500 BILLION+ misadventure that is getting our troops killed, how much patience SHOULD we have?

    For 4 years now we have heard things are getting better. Before the surge we were all told that things were better in Iraq than the big bad MSM was reporting. Well seems as thought MSM was right and all of the apologists were rong. So now those same apologists are claiming to be right this time.. how many chances do you 'dead enders' get ray/yoni/whott/snake to br wrong?

    The Dems don't have the votes to over-ride a Bush veto on any withdrawal dates stipulation on any bill, even if it was to make Dubya king. So for now they have to settle for political victories, get the wing-nuts vote down on record supporting the continuation of the war. Politics is bull sometimes, but it is what it is.

    Oh, how you must love to lose. I don't
    and where in the world you and others
    like you think this is just a civil war I
    have no idea. We are fighting AQ there
    and many other places.

    Anyhow, the dimms and others like
    you are fast learning Americans may
    not like the way the war is going, but
    they damn sure don't want to lose
    this war and more world credibility like
    we did after VN.

    Obviously you and others like you have
    no real thought or concern for what
    would happen to the people of Iraq if
    we pulled out. Do you ever wonder
    what would have happened to the
    United States if France had pulled out
    and left us. You more than likely would
    be saying: "God Save The Queen".
    And sending your tax dollars to
    support her and her family.

    Ray will you at least acknowledge that Custar made a bad decision that cost him and the rest of his men their lives? You make it seem as though acknowledging a historical fact is tantamount craving defeat. Come on Ray I give you more credit than that..

    How many lives would you classify as acceptible to sacrifice for the people of Iraq? How many lives are you willing to sacrifice for democracy in Iraq? At any point do you say we have done all we can and it just isn't working. Or do you see this as an indefinite endeavor worth everything our country has? I want to hear you tell me that Iraq is worth tearing this country apart.

    I will not acknowledge any thing of the sort. Bush
    told the American people the same thing that Clinton
    both Bill and Hillary said, what John Kerry said and
    everyone else. What I am saying is Bush did not lie
    to get us into this war. The dimm-o-craps have lied
    through their teeth.

    You and other seemed to think we are doing all this for
    the Iraq people alone. We aren't. What we are doing is
    fighting our enemy on their territory, not on our soil.
    We are being offensive instead of defensive like you
    and others want. Our loses have been comparatively
    low for any war. While we don't want any, what we
    have had is small compared to what it could have been.

    I might add, this country has been torn apart by a
    political party that wants power back. That will go to
    any extreme to regain that power. Them and their
    willing accomplices the MSM have given aid and
    comfort to the enemy even to the extend that AQ
    uses dimm-o-crap terms in their own writings.

    And you now see the dimm-o-craps cutting and running
    from their position of trying to establish pull out dates.
    They see the handwriting on the wall and so does the
    rest of Congress by not overriding the Presidents veto.
    If they thought the American people wanted defeat
    they would have overridden it, be assured of that.
    Just look at vote. No where close to overriding the
    President.

    The Republicans will fall in line on a pullout date as the next election nears.
    What we are doing is
    fighting our enemy on their territory, not on our soil.
    I thought all the terra-ists were outside agitators, not Iraqis.
    What I am saying is Bush did not lie
    to get us into this war.
    Someone allowed him to perpetuate a completely discredited claim (already removed once by the CIA) from a do ent that had been proven a forgery. If he didn't put the Niger nugget in that state of the union speech himself, who did?

    Ok Ray now I'm confused. You first say that the 'dimmo-craps- don't care what could happen to the Iraqi's if we pull out. Then you make the above statement that '..fighting our enemy on their territory', not on our soil'. Doesn't this mean that we have put the same Iraqi's ,you so care about, in the middle of our fight on their land? Not very nice Ray is it? We are on the offensive how? There are estimates that AL-Qaeda is getting stronger every where else in the world but you say we are fighting them there in Iraq? If you think about it Ray AL-Qaeda is probably laughing their asses off at us for being bogged down refereeing a civil war. Not only that our troops are sitting ducks for anyone who wants to take a shot at them. Losses? I am going to assume since you didn't answer my question about how many lives this whole thing is worth to mean that you are willing to sacrifice as many as necessary to keep Iraq afloat? INDEFINITELY! So now the Dems , and the majority of this country, want Iraq to start owning up to their end of the bargan is surrendering?

    Dems tearing apart this country? UH Karl Rove has political strategy is to govern to 51% of the country. He successfully demonized war veterans as weak on national defense and you say dems have divided this country? Do you honestly say that the GOP is innocent when it comes to purposely dividing this country?

    You and the Yoni types have been wrong since day one. The war has been mismanaged terribly for 4 yrs by your boy Bush and yet today you are still claiming that Dems are wrong? Cheney is out there telling anyone who will listen that the dems are wrong when he has been wrong about everything concerning Iraq? And now I'm supposed to just shut up and allow the folks who have been wrong from the begininng take us further into the abyss? Sorry dude I love my country to much to let the neocons take us into the hole they created.

    GGA you grasp at straws and make straw men. I have never told
    you to shut up, as if it would help, even I did.

    AQ is not laughing one bit at us being there in Iraq. The would give
    their front seat in to get us out of there so they could set up
    another government with Iran's help.
