Senate Democratic leaders on Wednesday rejected the call by the top U.S. general in Iraq for a reduction of up to 30,000 U.S. troops in Iraq by next summer, saying it does not go far enough.

"This is unacceptable to me, it's unacceptable to the American people," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Reid is a habitual political poseur. He needs help. Perhaps he should take up gambling. With his own money, not our Country's security.

Petraeus does not make foreign policy,Bush does. Petraeus does nothing but follow orders like a good little soldier. If Bush gives an order to round up American citizens for some reason, Petraeus will do it like a puppet.That is why I do not support the military anymore.They just follow orders of a president no matter how corrupt he is.
Bush is the one that needs to be dragged from the WH, and tarred and feathered.

Have you not noticed the timeline of the war
of both parties is the same. The DEMS were always talking about reducing in 2008. Just before the election. Besides we sent in 40,000 troops for the surge and only 30,000 are said to come home. Looking at the economic quagmire we are in we are now in the same situation as we were with Vietnam. No jobs here so leave the boys were they are.
Besides, Petraeus was caught in a situation. He would not dare to speak out against his commander - his testimony was useless and a waste of our tax money.

Have you noticed that the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is not in the MSM sites, but the Senate "Majority" Leader clearly is.

Let us examine this. There is no doubt that numerically, the DLC and DINO's have the majority in the House of Representatives for the 2007-09 term. Moreover, the House Majority Leader is a secondary post to the speaker. In fact, the US Constitution makes the Speaker of the US House the new third in line spare.

No, the MSM concentrates upon Casper Milquetoast Reid. Why? Simple, in my view. He is the empty suit with a title that is illusionary.

There has been one death - a Republican in GOP Wyoming. A Democratic governor was FORCED BY LAW (different in all states) to appoint a Republican in his place.

There was the Vitter Heterosexual Diaper Sex and Weekly Whore Whirl - a Republican who received a standing ovation for both straight sex and for the knowledge that a Louisiana Democratic governor could appoint a Democrat to his seat taken from a DINO, former Senator Breaux.

Then there is Larry Gay Bathroom Attempt....a Republican scorned for both his "gay sex choices" and the fact that a Republican governor is poised to replace him with a Republican.

Holy Joe Lieberman is the Senate eminence gris. Without his vote, the Democrats lose their phony majority. Lieberman votes neocon Republican and does everything but join their conference. Why should he? He is stronger as the blackmailer. Casper does his bidding and like this thread, plays to the cheap seats with political theatrical statements.

GREAT REID. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? USE HARSH LANGUAGE?

DEMOCRATS NEVER SHOULD HAVE AUTHORIZED BY WAY OF FUNDING A FUCKING THING.

Stop it !!! Reid is NOT majority leader and you know it. Lieberman has made McConnell the majority leader in everything but name.

Looks like some of Hufftards work.

Over the weekend, something happened here at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. Something destructive. Something dishonorable. Along the foot of the wall, covering a stretch almost two-thirds of the entire monument, an oily substance was spilled on the panels and paving stones that were built to pay tribute to those who gave their lives on the battlefield.

The National Park Service is investigating. Whatever the substance was, it was potent and corrosive. Huge swaths of the wall have been defaced. This is despicable desecration.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Founder and President Jan C. Scruggs said "While it is unclear what transpired, we are heartened by the response of the veterans" community and the general public. After 25 years, their connection to The Wall remains as strong as ever, and we appreciate that."

This vandalism comes on the eve of a massive anti-war protest by radicals who have threatened our national monuments before

Blowing in the wind.

all talk and most of America will fall for it.

wants to look tough for elections next year.

demos could have ended this war months ago. Constitutional right to defund war.

they think they can win it all in nov 2008 if war continues.

please note they keep saying this is bush"s war.

who is worst? Warmongering repubs or demos that play politics with this war.

blood on both their hands.

impeachment may be off the table for bush so lets put it on the table for Nancy and Reid.

WHY is Congress funding any of the criminal neglect that Weasel Bu$hCompCon has instigated? Congress, you need to issue your own "Signing Statements" by DEFUNDING every agency according to its non-performance or its seriously UnConstitutional activities. Just as in private industry, hand this AdmiNixonstration the pFink Slip that reads: "you're FIRED!!"
