   These buffoons in Congress are snuffing out their last chance to reverse the tide that is flowing against them.

   What is amazing is their arrogance as if they are winning this debate about the war. Last time I checked they are batting, uh let’s see, 0.000.

   They remind me of a bunch of grinning jackals.

   Barbara Boxer is the most vapid of the lot. She represents 1 per cent of the California electorate on the issues. Another carpetbagger from New York.

   Absolutely clueless.

   Top 3 Responses to Ted Kennedy:

   #3 – Senator, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

   #2 – Senator, let me clarify, when I said we’re raising the bar I didn’t mean…….

   And the #1 answer to a Senator Kennedy question:

   #1 – Senator, I’ll pull every troop out of theater tomorrow, just please don’t ever sing in public again!

   I wonder what these Congressional slugs/thugs thought when they read the following in the Petraeus Report:(excerpt courtesy of Powerlineblog.com)

   “In the past six months we have also targeted Shia militia extremists, capturing a number of senior leaders and fighters, as well as the deputy commander of Lebanese Hezbollah Department 2800, the organization created to support the training, arming, funding, and, in some cases, direction of the militia extremists by the Iranian Republican Guard Corps’ Qods Force. These elements have assassinated and kidnapped Iraqi governmental leaders, killed and wounded our soldiers with advanced explosive devices provided by Iran, and indiscriminately rocketed civilians in the International Zone and elsewhere. It is increasingly apparent to both Coalition and Iraqi leaders that Iran, through the use of the Qods Force, seeks to turn the Iraqi Special Groups into a Hezbollah-like force to serve its interests and fight a proxy war against the Iraqi state and coalition forces in Iraq. ”

   Did they even read the report?

    Bear – has a REPUBLICAN congressman brought it up?

    Petreaus won’t get the chance to – he’ll probably get cut off –

    Republican Senators need to use their time and bring out these highlights that the Dems don’t want to hear.

    The Moon Loons have given themselves license to disrespect warriors. And they will perish because of it.

    I think if the Repubs don’t get air time to bring up the Iranian factor, the Dhimmicrats’ failure to even acknowledge this HUGE SECURITY RISK should become an election issue- how can they be trusted to lead in war time when they fail to demonstrate any comprehension of what Iran is doing on the ground in broad daylight in Iraq against American troops and the Iraqi government.

    Bear – the Dems won’t bring it up because their netroots don’t think Iran is a serious threat…

    And if they DID bring it up they’d be acknowledging that the problem is more than just the ‘Iraqi’s not taking responsibility’.

    Nice to see a ‘give & take’ question session, Taylork…. I agree.

    That’s why these dog-and-pony shows are just that…. they’re a sideshow for the Dems to get their talking points on the air and make it look, to their far-left supporters, as if they’re actually doing something about it.

    As I said before, it’s sad when these two men are called before Congress, and then Congresspersons take more of the time asking questions and making speeches than getting answers ( if they even allow them time to answer in front of the public ).

    Thanks for the c-span link ajmontana, but this US Air Force computer won’t let me go there with their internet software. It won’t let me go to Hot Air or listen to talk radio on my computer either. I guess they don’t want me being informed on what my politicians are doing while working for the Government. I’m just glad I can come here and some of the other Conservative sites workload permitting.

    Because having the Iranians come in and do what we all know they will do is exactly what the Democrats would love to happen.

    A collapse of the Iraq and a subsequent fall into the ideological hands of Iran would be the political fodder for the Democratic Party for years to come.

    They would conveniently neglect the fact that their policies were the mitigating factor in allowing it to happen, and pound on their interpretation of events which would be that George Bush and the Republicans invaded Iraq, destabilized the country and allowed Iran to move in and gain power, making more difficult to negotiate with them.

    It has been said before, the Democrats are politically invested in the defeat of our military and the failure of our foreign policy.

    It says a lot about them.

    Glacier is making light of the fact that UBL has not been captured or taken care of. Aside from the inherent hypocrisy in that, she has no clue how easily one can be hidden in the tribal areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    Can you imagine these Senators & Representatives, Dems or Republicans asking such questions as, “will your strategy make America safer?” or “when will you bring all the troops home?” to President Roosevelt or Gen Eisenhower, etc. during the Pacific or European theaters? Such pompus, audacious, ignorant, treasonous —and I can’t write what comes to mind as I don’t want to get kicked off here. It boggles the mind that these nerds (spelled with a T) are in positions of leadership. They don’t care a whit about making us safer from the worldwide jihad threat. These sorry butts need to be removed…they are the threat our forefathers saw when they wrote our constitution. And if they tamper with the ballot box–which they have and are still doing with a passion–we were given other amendments to the constitution to really make America safe!

    If General Patraeus can not say the efforts and sacrifices of our troops are making America safer, then most of the war mongers are absolutely advocating something that is making America less safe. That’s hard to accept when they’ve beating the war drums so long. I doubt Roosevelt or Eisenhower would have hesitated for a second to answer John Warner’s important question in the affirmative.

    On September 11th, 2007 at 9:15 pm, almeehan said:

    157 you are wrong. They couldn’t answer in the affirmative until the threat was neutralized which only came after the fall of Berlin, death of Hitler and the last Abomb on Nagasaki with a quick surrender. There was a whole lot of troop commitment, deaths and sorrow long before that occurred. I also remember blackouts on the coast in the 40′s–safer? Only a fool would ask such a question while the enemy was still there and determined to cut my throat and those of you and your family.
