In the end, the situation in Iraq remains grave. In particular, we still face huge hurdles on the political front. Iraqi politicians of all stripes continue to dawdle and maneuver for position against one another when major steps towards reconciliation — or at least accommodation — are needed. This cannot continue indefinitely. Otherwise, once we begin to downsize, important communities may not feel committed to the status quo, and Iraqi security forces may splinter along ethnic and religious lines.

How much longer should American troops keep fighting and dying to build a new Iraq while Iraqi leaders fail to do their part? And how much longer can we wear down our forces in this mission? These haunting questions underscore the reality that the surge cannot go on forever. But there is enough good happening on the battlefields of Iraq today that Congress should plan on sustaining the effort at least into 2008.

The Wall Street Journal: “Virtually none of this would exist had Democrats succeeded over the years in their many attempts to kill missile defenses.

The Wall Street Journal: “The Aegis cruisers have successfully shot down missiles in seven of eight tests in recent years, and could become an important player in protecting allies and U.S. forces against regional missile threats.”

The Navy had at least one ship-based Aegis missile-defense system deployed off the Korean coast, with a potential to shoot down a North Korean missile

During The Bush Administration, Democrats Have Voted Against Missile Defense At Least Nine Times:

In The Early 90’s, Democrats Cut Missile Defense Funding At Least Seven Times:

During The Reagan Administration, A Majority Of Democrats Voted Against Missile Defense.

If Democrats Succeeded In Cutting Missile Defense The U.S. Would Not Be Able To Defend Itself Against North Korea’s Missiles.

..if they really "party everytime a soldier dies" as one complete idiot conservative recently wrote, wouldn't they just stay out of the way and keep sending them to Iraq?
Wouldn't they allow Walter Reed to continue to deteriorate instead of holding congressional hearings?
Wouldn't they side with the Bush Administration and "strongly oppose" key military pay and benefit gains, instead of fighting to get them the raises that they deserve?

If you were a troop, and one side wanted you to have proper medical care, more pay, and to come home as soon as possible, would you feel that they are showing you hatred?

Repeated unending investigations that take up thousands of hours of the administration's time.

How does tying up key official's time to try and set perjury traps help the president do his job?

Read the story before answering.

When Republicans were in the majority and engaging in partisan politics of this nature, Democrats squealed about how unfair the tactics were and how wrong it was. I call on Democrats to now acknowledge that their own party is no better in this area. They are using the war as a purely political tool now. What happened to that "New spirit of cooperation" Nancy Pelosi kept promising before the election?

Additionally, before anyone starts screaming about Republicans in this area. I will acknowledge that they have been just as bad right from the start, but 2 wrongs do not make a right.

Any of my con friends plan on attending? With school just starting--it would be a stretch for me--but I'm gonna try. It is being held to counter the Anti War rally being held by the "progressives" that same day. Love to meet up with some of you! The "Rolling Thunder Run for the Wall" sounds like an awesome event! Who's going?????

Reagan ruined the US economy, cut and ran from Beruit, and lied about illegally selling arms to Iran. Is my memory bad?

Wouldn't it be great if anyone in the world could get free healthcare so long as they could slip across our pourous borders? All we'd have to do is raise taxes even more, (but just on the rich of course).

I am for keeping the drinking age where it is, 21.
I am for raising the driving age to 17 1/2.
I an for raising the voting age to anywhere from 19 1/2-21.
