If they bring the raft back, College Republican groups can organize a few seminars with noted speakers, ie:

Rush Limbaugh: Anal cysts: better than a bullet in your ass;

Dick Cheney: The Friendly Defermment: How to Navigate Your Way to Deferment after Deferment after deferment.­..;

George W. Bush: Call Daddy (for the very privilege only);

Karl Rove: How to Bash Those Who Go while Avoiding it Yourself.

The Senate passed it today in the Defense bill.

3 Senators voted no, Feingold, Byrd and one other.

What is the National debt now? Four trillion or more?
All borrowed Money from China and japan that will someday have to be repaid.
Gonna be an impossible undertaking with a bankrupt third world country.
When you see the Machachos E Senoritas jumping back over the fence, you will know your good life is over.

so what?

American's opinion no longer matters unless they are calling on behalf of David Rockefeller or AIPAC

before this tragedy began, paul wolfowitz told this nation that the war would pay for itself through oil revenues from the iraqi fields.

we were also told that this war would only cost about $50 billion.

only $50 billion.

we were told it would be over quickly.

today, not only has there not been one dime of money flowing in from the oil revenues, there has been about $9 billion in cash that has simply disappeared.

the largest contractor, halliburton, has moved its corporate headquarters to the money laundering capital of the middle east. it is also a tax free zone, so not only is there no corporate tax being paid on their profits, the obscenely paid executive suite pays not one penny of income tax on their ill gotten gains. not one red cent.

$190 billion dollars would make one helluva good beginning on a national system of health care.

it could help fund badly needed repairs to crumbling infrastructure.

it could help bring manufacturing jobs back to the u.s.

it could improve our educational system.

it could feed all our hungry citizens.

it could provide warm, safe secure housing for those facing another cold winter on our nation's streets.

it could help pay for the health care of those already shattered and broken by this insanity.

it could even fund a way home for every single soldier currently on the ground there, to bring them back to their families before the end of the year.

so much good it could do. so many smiles, so many burdens that could be eased by it.

instead, it will only be used to buy more tears, more bloodshed, more broken hearts.

surely this can't be the best we can do as humans.

perhaps congress should simply be shut down entirely until they begin doing the bidding of their true employers, namely we the people.

Ugh, Chris Matthews is doing an hommage to himself.

This country needs to learn about humility.

With this story, it seems they have no room for the September surge numbers.

Ask the same questions preceded by "Since the evidence shows we are winning the war ..." and see what the answers are.

Little Georgie Bush:

"Kids, constitution, money.
Sheesh Mom, can't they see I have an army I got to play with? C'mon mom, tell them".

We know what it would put a stop to Iraq fraud. And it is in the hands of Dems to do it. It is to cut off funding but not allowing a vote on any bill containing a budget item related to the Iraq fraud.

Dems don’t want to do it because it might backfire, and public opinion might turn against them in 2008.

Of course, it is important that Dems win in 2008, and start reversing the harm done to our country, and not just that related to the Iraq fraud.

Dems strategy seems to be to do all they can short of cutting off the funding.

The strategy has merit, however, it would most certainly result in more loss of life to our soldiers and to Iraqis.

It is not an easy decision.

What Dems might be missing is that there would also be a price to pay in November 2008 for not bringing Iraq fraud to a halt.

Pentagon Issues Blackwater New $92 Million Contract
Earlier this month, Blackwater USA was involved in the fatal shooting of 11 Iraqi civilians. While the Iraqi government swiftly condemned the contractor, the Bush administration has continued to back Blackwater’s story that it was “defensive fire.”

Last Thursday, Gen. Peter Pace told reporters, “Blackwater has been a contractor in the past with the department and could certainly be in the future.” The next day, that future was already here. The Pentagon had issued a new list of contracts, including one worth $92 million to Presidential Airways, the “aviation unit of parent company Blackwater­.” From the release:

This admin. has lost credibilty as far as running a "Christian" nation. This so-called war has been a boom for any and every defense contractor and the corrupt companies that pretend to be "security" and "homeland protectorates". Corruption is just the beginning of this story and war cimes would be well on the table if this admin. were not American.

American exceptionalism has to end before this so-called democracy does.

Of course we oppose another 190 billion dollars b/c we know that only half will go to what it should and the other half gets "lost".

This is OUR money folks. What is the PHUKKKIN' Congress doing ??

DEMS, where are you ?? Quit looking at the GD polls and stand up for principle.

Bush will block SCHIP for kids, but spend another 190 billion for death and theft. Sounds right, if you are a HEATHEN !!!

There is no public outcry against the war

There is an old saying in the used car field: Money talks B.S. walks. This is true except in the case of congress, They talk B.S. and give our money away.

Ther is no public outcry against the war

The majority may oppose whatever they want. By now everyone understands that the majority is pretty much irrelevant.

If we lose the global war on terror, all American children aka childrens will be killed by evildoers.

So, tell me America, why do you want to stop the war on terror? Do you people hate your childrens that much?

Stay the course. Forever and ever. 9-11. Many corners turned. Many more corners to turn. The Dems and Repubs will give Mr. Bush his money because they know the Iraqi people hate us for our freedom. They hate purple fingers, and they'd like to see Christ on a Crutch.
