"DEAD, FLAT WRONG"

Associated Press:

President Bush's war strategy is failing and the top military commander in Iraq is "dead flat wrong" for warning against major changes, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday.

Ahead of two days of crucial testimony by Bush's leading military and political advisers on Iraq, Sen. Joseph Biden indicated that he and other Democrats would persist in efforts to set target dates for bringing troops home.

Wow, Biden makes his comments before the general has made his. Guess Biden is a pretty smart cookie. Or is he just attempting to beat the general to the punch?

sad that an intelligen­t man like Biden was incapable of answering a direct question about withdrawal on meet the press and spent all the time crying about the new humvees ordered (4 years late) to protect the poor little soldiers.

Wow its going to be a great day here, somewhere in the 80's. I slept so well last night and after seeing what "Our General" is saying and going to say I now know why I feel so good today. We have progress in Iraq.

Bush burned threw 3400 American kids in the first 4.5 years and spent half trillion dollars an pissed the whole world off. Bush and his neo -con dwibs called that effort (4.5 years)a wrong direction. God bless Bush, Donald, Casey and Abizide...­........

Now we have Gates and "Our General" (Bush's poor mans version of Collin Powell) for 6 months. And the war is all but over, the litmus test was performed 4 months ago with our old man McCann going shopping at the market in Bagdad. He and his group of a hundred ARMED Marines and 6 Blackhawks over head all had a grand time in the market. McCann planted the flag in the market and it was like Normandy all over again only thing not there was John Wayne.

Give me a fucking break, Bush will hide behind "Our General" suck him dry like he did with Powell and toss the ambitious dwib off the boat when his name is used up.

Next time you vote you better bring this BS mess to the front and cast the ballot right, no more little fuzzy footed BS Texas hobbits again. We have significan­t progress in Iraq ....... my ass

General Biden did your vast Military experience lead you to this conclusion that most of the Generals in IRAQ, including General P. are wrong about the current situation there. Maybe, you should write a paper about the situation there. You could find another article about IRAQ and plagiarize it. General P., I guess has no honor and is nothing but a shill for the Bush Administra­tion. Let's hear move-on.or­g accuse our soldiers of being baby-kille­rs. I guess that will be next.

"Democrats would persist in efforts to set target dates for bringing troops home."

Thank goodness they will persist in efforts. I hope they don't wear themselves out. Sounds almost as rough as being a soldier in Iraq.

ONe of the dems best criticism of Bush is his fialure to listen to the commanders in the field.

Now Joe Biden is doing the exact same thing.

To both parties in the Congress:

Stop strategizi­ng and merely do what's right for the citizens of the US instead of special interests.­..that's it...that'­s all...

'Biden is a total loser. He is responding to testimony that hasn't been given yet. What a moron.'

Yeah, right; and exactly what did he say that was inaccurate­?

The Right is so desperate for anything that disguises the nightmare of Iraq, including a completely bs 'report' that highlights the moderate successes of the surge, and completely ignores the enormous failures.

Get ready to start hearing about the moat that should be built around Baghdad; some great ideas just never go away.
