:puke3: Harry Reid is a little weasel...:wank2:

Bipartisan majority votes against escalating the war in Iraq

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid released the following statement on today's vote in the United
States Senate in which a bipartisan majority voted against President Bush's
flawed plan to escalate the war.
"Today, a bipartisan majority of the United States Senate voted against
the President's flawed plan to escalate the war. The Senate joined the
House of Representatives, put itself on the record, and told the President
that America needs a new direction in Iraq. As for the Republicans who
chose once again to block further debate and protect President Bush, the
American people now know they support the escalation.
"Today's vote against the escalation is not the end of this Iraq debate
in the Senate. This war is too important to permit Senate Republicans to
brush it aside. The Bush Administration's failures have put our troops and
America in a deep hole, and it is time for this country and this Congress
to climb out. The Republican Leadership can run from this debate, but they
can't hide. The Senate will keep fighting to force President Bush to change
course."

I guess the dems had to do something to convince themselves that thier big win was some kind of mandate against the war on terror. Non-binding resolutions :laugh2:

The presidents flawed plan?

how do they know its flawed. Its barely begun. something can't be flawed that hasn't been implemented yet. what exactly is the flaw in the plan?

Good point. Geez, you don't think Reid's biased or playing politics, do you? :uhoh:

[Dilloduck]

oh ya---those non-binding resolutions are bound to make all the anti-Bush crowd just ecstatic !! BIG WOO !!!!:uhoh:

[Gaffer]

Lots of real issues to deal with and they have to play resolution games. This all needs to be remembered and brought up in 08. There are a lot of assholes we need to get out of the house and senate.

[darin]

Sickening. Anyone watch "24"? that's quickly moving from Fiction to Prophecy. I'm telling you - before any of us know it, Nukes will be set off IN our country.

:(

I think you summed up the theme of the article pretty well with the 2nd smilie you used.":wank2: "

Its ok, Harry got all those kickbacks from that Indian tribe out there in Nevada so they could get fasttracked on their casino project, his word is gold and his ethics unquestionable.

They wont let it succeed. we all know they are planning to cut funds if the troops have any sort of success.

Very true. They are betting everything on the failure in iraq. they can't afford to have the military succeed. It could ruin a lot of careers.

Not to mention the 2008 elections.....

[Gaffer]

That's why they want the failure. 2008 will make or break them. If iraq succeeds and these traitors are seen for what they are they will lose big time in every area. so expect the undermine to continue with a vengence.

How many times does it take? It's been done 4 times already, with the exact same results.

Damn...........our secret's out.

[Pale Rider]

I'll make a prediction right now, that when the '08 elections really heat up, the Iraq war will take a back seat to the border crisis.

Tell me I'm wrong.

And with that, the dems will lose their ASSES!

Not a chance in hell if the Iraq war is still going on.

You think priorities have changed that much since November when the Repubs lost the House and Senate?

It's Iraq... Iraq... Iraq.

Are you really going to try to make a point using a poll---especially one that shows 44% choosing other or unsure ? :laugh2:

That's what we're counting on......a bunch of people running that are out of touch with what America wants. You make it so easy.

If it is the border "crisis", then the GOP aren't doing much better on that front are they?

[CockySOB]

If it is the border "crisis", then the GOP aren't doing much better on that front are they?

And thus one of the biggest gripes I and a lot of other conservatives have with the Bush administration. Frankly the WOT requires a solid effort not just overseas, but also in controlling our borders. But that seems to not be that big of an issue for the Bush administration or the Republicans in Congress. Pisses me off to no end.

Where have you been? thats been the major problem conservatives have been having with the GOP. They arent doing anything. Why the heck do you think so many conservatives stayed home in 06?
