Is anyone stupid enough to fall for this crap?

Question

"If Congress fails to pass a bill to fund our troops on the front lines, the American people will know who to hold responsible," Bush said.
The Senate was expected on Thursday to pass a $122 billion bill that would require Bush to start bringing home an unspecified number of troops within four months, with a nonbinding goal of ceasing combat operations as of March 31, 2008.
But Pelosi and Reid didn't flinch.
"On this very important matter, I would extend a hand of friendship to the president, just to say to him, 'Calm down with the threats,'" she said. "There's a new Congress in town. We accept your constitutional role. We want you to accept ours."
Democrats acknowledge they do not have enough support in Congress to override Bush's veto, but say they will continue to ratchet up the pressure until he changes course.
Impeachment is the only course of action for Democrats. The American people know that Defense is funded for all of 2007 at $498 billion. The $122 billion is in addition to that number. Pure crap from another brain dead Republican, "I think the sooner we can get this bill ... down to the president for veto, we can get serious about passing a bill that will get money to the troops," said Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Sara, you have no clue, none. Bush and all his cronies all think just alike.. The is no "defeat" when you end the occupation of another country. Get a clue. Congress approved the use of force to remove Saddam and the search for WMDs. Congress never approved the occupation of Iraq. Look up "occupy" in the dictionary.

According to the service members I talk with in Iraq. Iraq is in civil war now and there are 650,000 civilians dead in Iraq since the USA led invasion. 250,000 have left for Jordan. 250,000 also went into Syria and Iran.

Shrink, how old are you? I was in Vietnam when Nixon lied about sending our troops into Cambodia and Nixon got them killed with his lies. Liberals had no part in Nixons lies. The crap is as plain as the nose on your face. The Impeachment of Bush and Cheney is the only course of action for Democrats.

In a mostly party line 51-47 vote, the Senate signed off on a bill providing $123 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also orders Bush to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days of passage while setting a nonbinding goal of ending combat operations by March 31, 2008.

The Senate vote marked its boldest challenge yet to the administration's handling of a war, now in its fifth year, that has cost the lives of more than 3,200 American troops and more than $350 billion.
"We have fulfilled our constitutional responsibilities," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters shortly after the vote.
If Bush "doesn't sign the bill, it's his responsibility," Reid added.
While Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said that setting timelines for withdrawal would hamper U.S. commanders in Iraq, he said Thursday that the debate on Capitol Hill has "been helpful in bringing pressure to bear" on the Iraqi government. He said it has made it clear to the Iraqis that "there

is a very real limit to Americans' patience."
Gates also said he was disturbed to hear one of his military officers say it will be fall before they have a good idea how well the latest Baghdad campaign is going. He said he hopes that Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander in Iraq, will be able to make that evaluation by summer.
Only two Republicans vote for the bill. Chuck Hagel and Gordon Smith. Joseph Lieberman is a Republican. He voted no with Bush and 46 other Republicans.

Answer 1

It is a big load from both sides, somewhat like watching a group of monkeys fling it at each other.

Answer 2

If anyone would actually read the bill or how about even know exactly what the bill is/was for to start with ... they would see that it is not just a bill to aid the wars it is a total package of war aid, Katrina aid and a couple other aids. ALL the so called pork bills help supplement for bad a year and were on the doc to get funds anyway. It is a Supplement Bill to start with ...

Sad how so many only hear a part and believe it to be gospel truth making them blind to the actual truth ...

Answer 3

Specifically which part are you calling crap? I don't see anything there which doesn't accurately state the situation as it stands.

The President is threatening to use his Constitutional veto, and Pelosi is threatening to cut off troops support. Pretty much a stand-off.

Wouldn't it be great if we all just decided to give the military what it needs to get this job done? LIberals like to compare Iraq to Vietnam. Do you know what happened when Congress cut off support for Vietnam? 2 to 3 million Cambodians were slaughtered.

And you know what else? Every member of Congress is old enough to remember it.

EDIT: Nixon didn't take us into Vietnam. A Liberal did. And Nixon brought home the troops. And there were over 2 million Cambodians killed AFTER our troops came home, because Congress de-funded the war. And my father, who told me about it is 67.

Answer 4

I think the only people foolish in this situation are democrats. Here we have a war going on that THEY voted for and now they want to try to micromanage it and get perks off our soldiers sacrifice. Our troops are not bargaining chips and these democrats are the biggest fakes ever.

Respecting constitutional roles? Not making threats? Looks like Pelosi just described in detail what the democrats have done since 2003; try to micromanage and/or end the war and undermine our troops in any way they can with the hope of scoring politcal points.

They are a disgrace to America and God will judge hypocrites like them accordingly.

Answer 5

It's suicide to turn tail and run before Iraq is stable enough to stand on its own. There is no other humane course of action! Democrats are always pleading the 'human' loss ' issue and yet, how is it they can overlook the fact if the US leaves, thousands of Iraqis will be slaughtered. Ask the military over there what's really going on before you support an action would could have catastrophic results on the lives left behind.

Answer 6

No, Bush is going to veto the funds and then try to blame the liberals for his refusal to cooperate with the will of the people. He can try but I think most of us will see that he is just standing there stomping his feet trying to get his own way yet again.

So the load of crap I am not buying is perhaps not the one you are seeing??

Answer 7

The biggest problem with impeachment is having President Cheney, I have no doubt he and his cronies would finish the job on the Constitution and declare themselves totally in charge, just until of course the country was safe, a safety to be decided by him at his leisure while he rules.

Answer 8

If george attempts to veto this he will lose everything including his position as president. George is going to bet the ranch in Crawford,TX., and he's going to lose big time!

Answer 9

nope

Answer 10

Pure pork from the Dems....why not just pass the bill without the pork....BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE DEMS...Duh..are you swallowing the SPEW of Pelosi....
