And what's your strategy? "Just poop"?

It's President Bush's fault.
Where have I heard THAT before...

Oh yeah, everywhere.

Biden remains an arrogant asshat.

Exactly why this a$$-clown will never be president.

“It’s the failed policy of this president — going to war without a strategy, going to war prematurely.”

going to war without a strategy (--as authotized by congress--ed )

going to war prematurely (--as authotized by congress--ed )

PIMF

authotized=authorized

damn

Biden, and the rest of the Democrats, are afraid of the "enemy".
Plain and simple, it's as easy as that.

“It’s not the American people or the U.S. Congress who are emboldening the enemy,”

Well he's half right.

Or maybe a 12-year-old:

At the rally, 12-year-old Moriah Arnold stood on her toes to reach the microphone and tell the crowd: "Now we know our leaders either lied to us or hid the truth. Because of our actions, the rest of the world sees us as a bully and a liar."

The sixth-grader from Harvard, Mass., organized a petition drive at her school against the war that has killed more than 3,000 U.S. service-members, including seven whose deaths were reported Saturday.

Damn.

My daddy taught me that it was wimps.
Wimps embolden the enemy.

Know what else?

He was never wrong.

I know we had our strategy in WW2 mapped out before we declared war....

It's a full-on assault against the war in Iraq and in the fight against terrorists here in the US:

Advocates push Congress to ban profiling

The repercussions of an airline's decision to remove a group of imams from a commercial flight in Minneapolis could be heard in Congress this year, with civil rights groups pushing Democratic lawmakers to ban racial profiling.
The incident happened in November, made national news and reinvigorated an old proposal that got little attention from the GOP.
Now, a champion of the legislation, Rep. John Conyers (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on the issue.

Now, what is one distinguishing feature of Michigan?

How many times has Biden run for president? About ten? Whatever he's doing, he needs to keep it up.

Yup. On December 8, 1941, Roosevelt knew exactly when and where he was going to drop those nukes. He also knew he was going to be dead then.

Iran Nukes Plans in Chaos?

No no no.... don't you read the arab and islamic media?

Its always... always the joooooooooooooooooooooooos fault. Everything.

When arabs and muslims go boom, kill each other, and the infidels, its always the jooooooooooooooooooooooooos fault. When governments are non-democratic and oppressive, hey, its those jooooooooooooooooooooos. And when Saudi Arabia, which doesn't even let joooooooooooooooooooooooooos in, oppresses its people and restricts their rights, well, its gotta be those jooooooooooooooooooooooos. How, they haven't completely worked out, but it will be eventually.

So when Biden and his fellow dhimmi travelers want to blame someone, he may say Bush and the neo-cons, but you know who he really means.

Da jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos!

Isn't it interesting how the enemies of the US, the west, and civilization all line up blaming the same groups? Bush, the neocons and the jooooooooooooooooooooooooooos. In fact, one might think that you can tell an enemy of the US by noting who they blame and for what.

Never take responsibility for their own contributions to the mess they have helped create. Can't be us. Gotta be da jooooooooooooooooooooooooos ... and bushitlermcchimpy and the neocons (aka da joooooooooooooooooooooooos).

If it wasn't so completely pathetic, it would be tragically comical.

Well, it raining here in Los Angeles (FINALLY!). So I suspect Charles won't be going on a 60 mile bike ride. Now we can have more news from LGF this Sunday, hooray!

Infantilization...

The 58-year-old governor is a self-described "aging rocker" who squeezed a ride in an Indy race car and a Rolling Stones concert into the same day last year. She runs nearly 15 miles a week and regularly attends college football and basketball games.

Her wit occasionally gets her into trouble, as during a 2002 gubernatorial debate when she said driving roads in neighboring Missouri was "much more terrifying to me than the attacks on the World Trade Center."

25 articles on GoogleNews on how the governor of Kansas can be the vice president despite the fact that she is capable of being witless enough to make the above statement. But that's okay, she passes the physical and she is a liberal.

When Dems go to war, they have 100% accurate prescience. Must be nice to have never had to have worried about the outcome...

And the fine Senator is so concerned he is going to stand up and strongly proclaim he's doing nothing.

"I throw this non-binding resolution at your feet President Bush. Take that."

Whatta wus.

Joe Biden:

"I'm not going to propagandize against the U.S., but the U.S. is a failure, incompetent, and..."

#19 christheprofessor

More to the point, it must be nice to never have to worry about being criticized.

/Why, again, did we bomb the Chinese embassy in Belgrade?

How people with Biden's ( and Hagel , Kerry, etc, etc) ,obvious ignorance of historical perspective and human nature get elected to public office let alone the US Senate is staggering.
Where does this blindness to the mortal threat that the West and the US faces germinate and why do the deaths of thousands of souls over decades - from 1979 forward - at the hands of the Islamists not phase these Leftist fools ?
Yes I think the Iraq battle should have been handled in a much more aggressive manner .
How does loosing the war now - by choice - serve the cause of freedom or the US ?
Between Biden and Kerry- if brains were C4 - they could not light a match !

Does this mean we can finally get out of Kosovo?

"perhaps only 20 senators believe President Bush “is headed in the right direction"

That means perhaps 80 of these scheisskopfs need to be replaced.

#22 E2M

We'd be a lot farther along in the prosecution of this war and the spread of liberty if we had an objective, functional media capable (or perhaps willing is a better term) of criticizing both parties equally.

#7 DesertSage

Sage -

I know you are right on this one. The real question is WHY. The only thing that makes sense would be a loss of energy resources. Anything else makes NO SENSE. Perhaps FDR had it right that the only thing we have to fear is FEAR ITSELF.

-S-

If the traitors on the L³eft like Joe Biden has said "Politics stops at the Water's Edge" and "We're in this to win this" instead of talking up the Jihad every chance they got, the war would have been over now. By holding out the promise of change favorable to the Jihadis, the Democrats simply encourage them to hang on.

And Biden knows it.

*spit*

One distinguishing feature? But there are so many to choose from....

1: moonbattery writ large in dhimmified congress critters
2: Dearbornistan
3: High unemployment, about to get much worse as Ford goes belly up. Since Henry Ford was such an unabashed anti-semite in the first place, and is largely responsible for creating Dearbornistan since he couldn't stand da jooooooooooooooooooooooos yet needed to import cheap labor, it seems fitting that his company is in its death throes.
4: Union lock-in. Doesn't matter how the market for unskilled labor jobs pay, the union demands unrealistically high wages, has had laws passed preventing people who want to work from competing fairly with others for positions, and this is a large part of the reason why people are muttering in the Freep that the last one out of Michigan should turn off the lights.
5: While the rest of the country reveled in an economic boom for the last few years post-bubble and recovery, Michigan continued its slide into irrelevance.

As I sit here, in my house, in Michigan, looking out my window at the snow on the ground, seeing all the for sale signs up, and no customers coming to look at them, I wonder what the future of our state holds. We are not moving in a sane direction.

And for reasons I cannot for the life of me comprehend, we keep electing moonbats, dhimmis, antisemites, and other assorted losers to congress. Again. And Again. And Again.

Maybe all of this is connected.

I have ceased to become angry at statements like this and those of John Kerry. I have gotten used to the idea that the Democrats oppose victory as a matter of principle. Mark Steyn nails it as usual.

And what's your strategy? "Just poop"?

Rove pooped - Biden was duped.

The sad truth is that these politicians aren't looking foreward to the future. They are considering just how good they will look and be remembered in the past ie:History Books.
There are very few Politicians out there with "a pair" that are willing to go the extra mile for America .... The President I had a lot of faith in in the begining... however I think that he is in the process of being hobbled from within.
IMHO :... Damn the" PC" full speed ahead!

I'm not sure where the problems lie with you right-wing nut cases.
Once the American that "I" love is emboldened with miniumum wage increases, free health care, free college tuition, and diplomatic resolutions to those sh*tty little problems that annoy you jingoists, there will be no incentives for the poor, disadvantaged ones in your uneducated military.

** From Davos- Semun Last Class Winsurf C.C. Sloboat the "I" sends. **

I started to get worked up over this, then realized it was "Senator" Joe Biden, and lost interest.

It is about time I used mine on these blowhards !

Knowing that a freeware VSA lie detector is being used by large numbers of
voters will increase the average stress levels of politicians and officials
who routinely lie through their teeth, but the tell-tale fluctuations will
still be there. Likewise, even though a sociopath might have a low and
narrow stress range (I'm guessing; It might not be narrow), the
fluctuations themselves will indicate fear, and will read as clearly as
anyone elses.

Potentially, knowing that a freeware VSA lie detector is being used by
large numbers of voters will stop the bad guys from wanting the limelight.

#36 dewie - not a bad idea, except that lie detectors can't tell if someone is lying, if that someone truly believes that lie.
Of course, most politicians only truly believe in getting re-elected, so your idea might still be worth a try!

it was "about time" for a woman president

Six years ago, I heard that exact phrase out of a Dem voter. That is the mantra. Conditioning seems to be the manner in which the Left sensitizes its base. And of course when ya counter with, say, "Oh, goodie! How about (pick a GOP anyone ) Elizabeth Dole?" They freeze and stare at you, because the correct answer is "Hillary." There is zero thought behind it, nothing, zilch. If "Time for a woman president" then "Hillary."
They cannot articulate why "woman" takes precedent over any other qualification. They can't compute that "woman" could be any number of ladies.
Pavlovian drooling. Creepy. But it works. These people will vote for no other reason - they had it drumming into their skulls for years now, ever since Hillary waltzed into the White House as First Wifey/Co-President.
That's a thought - Bill and Hillary announced they were co-presidents - extra-constitutionally. Is Hillary going to use that as a qualification for president now? Bit of a bind, isn't it? "I have previous experience as Co-President, which means I am quite used to operating outside the Constitution. Vote for me!"

LMao liberals are such scumbags, the biggest hypocrites in history. Its a sad commentary on the country as a whole that we even have flotsam like this in positions of power.

So the dhimmicrats now say that going to battle with the islamofascist bastards, without a cowardly plan of giving up before the end of the fight, has somehow emboldened the enemy?

In the midst of battle, our hands are being tied by imbeciles. That will surely embolden the enemy.

Let's see: Sadr's death squad leaders hightail it into Iran for a little R&R to avoid the Coalition surge.
Sadr "rejoins" Maliki's government. (Is anbody buying this?)

Politicos announce big victory.
Sadr bails on Maliki, death squads return.
I hope the coalition forces are preparing to hammer these guys upon their return. No letup.

Biden on TV this morning with more makeup than a corpse, obviously thinking he looked great. And we see he's adopted Jimmah Carter's mantra - "I say these ignorant, cowardly, biggoted, and (oh yeah) untrue things to facilitate discussion." Quite.

But I'm afraid he has a point in spite of himself. Bush has made mistake #1 in Iraq, he has never played it to win, he has had our troops on police duty since the close of major combat, he only targets the immediate perps, and that is not warfare. The Islamic world has played to this formula for a thousand years and more, and we will change nothing by playing their game. We can win all the battles, and it will mean nothing.

But what does Mr. Biden offer? Only immediate and total capitulation to the same threats. Even Bush's every mistake, is better than that. It was, after all, Carter's inaction against Iran in 1979 that pretty much put us on this path (though even Ronaldo Magnus did no better after Lebanon 1983, and there's plenty of blame to spread among other presidents of both parties).

Biden offers us a chance to go from a bad plan to no plan at all. Wow. Nice hair, Senator.

Biden, that asshat's own admission, says he has NO IDEA what to do. To that I will respond. If you have no idea, then why do you open your mouth? You can be part of the problem or part of the solutions and if you don't have any ideas of your own and you criticize somebody else's ideas, then YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. Next, WIth all your caterwalling and hand wringing, you show exactly what kind of leader you are. A nonexistant one. You are no more fit to be president, Biden than my dog.

Only reason I see the dhimmicats are doing this is that getting power back and keeping it is there only concern. Being in control is THEIR BIRTHRIGHT and how dare the Republicans take it from them. So they will say anything and do anything to get their power back, screw the country, if it gets damaged, they will fix it later. That midget Biden is a prime example of this hypothesis.

I wonder why "a tory effect" is not analyzed more with regards to Democratic sympatheziers of the enemy emboldening the islamonazis to kill more US troops for the PR value in the US. When I see 7 troops killed I usually think about 20 percent of the death toll is directly attributed to the ramblings of John's (murtha and kerry) types. They act like motivational speakers for the jihadis.

Senators-in-Chief
Congress has no Constitutional power to micromanage a war.

To understand why the Founders put war powers in the hands of the Presidency, look no further than the current spectacle in Congress on Iraq. What we are witnessing is a Federalist Papers illustration of criticism and micromanagement without responsibility.

Consider the resolution pushed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday by Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel, two men who would love to be President if only they could persuade enough voters to elect them. Both men voted for the Iraq War. But with that war proving to be more difficult than they thought, they now want to put themselves on record as opposing any further attempts to win it.

Their resolution--which passed 12-9--calls for Iraqis to "reach a political settlement" leading to "reconciliation," as if anyone disagrees with that necessity. But then it declares that the way to accomplish this is to wash American hands of the Iraq effort, proposing that U.S. forces retreat to protect the borders and hunt terrorists. The logic here seems to be that if the Americans leave, Iraqis will miraculously conclude that they have must settle their differences. A kind of reverse field of dreams: If we don't come, they will build it.

The irony is that this is not all that far from the "light footprint" strategy that the Bush Administration was following last year and which these same Senators called a failure. It is precisely the inability to provide security in Baghdad that has led to greater sectarian violence, especially among Shiites victimized by Sunni car bombs. The purpose of the new Bush counterinsurgency strategy is to provide more security to the population in the hopes of making a political settlement easier.

But then such analysis probably takes this resolution more seriously than most of the Senators do. If they were serious and had the courage of their convictions, they'd attempt to cut off funds for the Iraq effort. But that would mean they would have to take responsibility for what happens next. By passing "non-binding resolutions," they can assail Mr. Bush and put all of the burden of success or failure on his shoulders.

This is not to say that the resolution won't have harmful consequences, at home and abroad. At home, it further undermines public support for the Iraq effort. Virginia Republican John Warner even cites a lack of public support to justify his separate non-binding resolution of criticism for Mr. Bush's troop "surge." But public pessimism is in part a response to the rhetoric of failure from political leaders like Mr. Warner. The same Senators then wrap their own retreat in the defeatism they helped to promote.

In Iraq, all of this undermines the morale of the military and makes their task that much harder on the ground. When John McCain asked Lieutenant General David Petraeus that precise question during his confirmation hearing Tuesday, the next commander of Coalition operations in Iraq said, "It would not be a beneficial effect, sir."

And when Joe Lieberman asked if such a resolution would give the enemy cause to believe that Americans were divided, he added, "That's correct, sir." Several Senators protested and demanded that the general stay out of domestic politics, but his only offense was telling the truth. Of course the enemy would take comfort from any Senate declaration that Mr. Bush lacks domestic support. ...

Read the rest.

What is not Bush's fault in a moonbat's mind?

Wow! I'm impressed, President Bush! With a few words you have made things many time better for our troops and for Iraqis.

The general should have told the democrat congressman to stay out of military affairs.

This is off topic, but I have often wondered what does an honorable soldier do when he realizes that the civilian congress is no longer acting in the best interest of the country and in fact is actively working to subvert the military's mission and is in open collaboration with our enemies?

How can an honorable man stomach to be subordinate to such?
