The political terrorists in congress, on marching orders that came directly from the leaders of the Democrat Party, have agreed on a piece of legislation that requires the first round of troops in Iraq to be withdrawn by October 1st, and that all US soldiers be out of Iraq within 6 months.
House and Senate puppets met this afternoon and apparently ratified the details of this outrageous legislation. Even though a few Republicans did muster up enough courage to voice the slightest bit of opposition, they made no serious attempts to show how much they disagree with this atrocious piece of legislative garbage.
Naturally some of the mouthpieces for the Republican Party will have said, and will continue to say that their lack of opposition to this bill is because they want it to quickly work its way to the Presidents desk so he can veto it, but I’m not so sure about that anymore. If that were the case, I’m sure they would make more of an effort to reassure guys like me that they have things under control.
To make matters worse, the dollar figure in the proposed bill amounts to $124.2 billion, $90 Billion of which is to be used for military expenditures in Iraq and Afghanistan. The other $34.2 billion, well it’s all going to fund pork barrel projects. It seems that not even Pelosi and Reid’s cronies were willing to support such an asinine bill unless they got a sizable chunk-O-cash to pacify the folks back home.
Pelosi, Reid, and all of America for that matter, know that this spending bill is nothing more than an assault on the Bush administration. They call it a “symbolic actâ€? designed to persuade the President to set a so called “new course” in the war on terror, but there is nothing symbolic about it. In fact this little game that the liberals are playing is killing real people.
Instead of sending a message to the administration, the Democrats (and their Republican accomplices) are sending a message to the militants and terrorists, not only in Afghanistan and Iraq, but worldwide. The message reads as follows:
Dear anti-American jihadists and Islamic fundamentalist nuts,
Hang in there just a few more months boys. The Democrat Party is working to the best of our ability to break the back of the Bush war machine. We will continue to push meaningless legislation through congress until the money needed to fund Bush’s troops is all gone. Without funding, the President will be left with no other choice than to immediately withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan.
You guys are doing a fine job on your end too, and thanks for the latest series of car bombings. We can never have enough carnage to reference when we make our appeals to the American people. It seems they are suckers when it comes to the realities of war. If only I had a soft side from which I could muster up some crocodile tears, well, that would be political gold.
I’ll be sure to keep you updated as this drama plays itself out. I would also like to say thanks for the lovely invitation to the victory celebration you guys sent. That was very thoughtful of you. I have a designer working on a special burqa just for the occasion.
Hugs and Kisses,
Nancy Pelosi

i would just like to point out that there is a bigger problem than iraq
we have ILLEGALLY occupied philidelphia for 229 years now, and they are on track to have over 400 americans killed there this year. this is an unacceptable level of violence … we should withdraw all police immediately!
queen elizabeth is clearly not a dictator so the occupation of philidelphia is completely ILLEGAL.
NO BLOOD FOR TEA!!!

They are playing a game of political chicken. The Dems want to look like they are for ending the war based on the polls, but they don’t want to be blamed for bringing the troops home and the bloody aftermath that will ensue. So they want the veto desperately, and they will get it. Then they can continue to blame Bush for the war which continues to be their only war plan.

lisab – the illegal “safe haven” city along the Potomac River named after the leader of the rebel gang, Washington is also seeing casulties in the hundreds this year too. Nothing less than a complete withdrawal, surrender and reversion of the land back to the original inhabitants should pacify the British, who have been humanely holding off from a full assault, since they burned the city a few years back in 1812, or something…
Joe and McCain – you are too correct. I watch all of this and my heart sinks. I can see how great nations fall: complacency, accompanied by rose colored glasses. Reid actually said that instead of guns and war, we should bring all sides together to negotiate! Negotiate? He has got to be kidding! These radical Muslims believe it is OK to lie if it is in the name of Allah. They are well known to negotiate only when they are weak, and only to use the time to strengthen their positions, then all bets are off and they go on the offensive again. You cannot negotiate unless there is an honest broker on both sides. I have tried so hard to not attack these idiots in an unprofessional manner, but it is getting really hard. I very much question their patriotism.
