Orderly and Responsible Threefer

STILL IN BUSINESS

This morning, Senate Republicans introduced their own package - $70 billion in War funding with no strings attached.  It went down 45-53.  Then, the Senate version of the House Resolution 4156 was defeated 53-45. 

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the only way to get troops the money was to approve the restrictions outlined by Democrats.

'''Our troops continue to fight and die valiantly. And our Treasury continues to be depleted rapidly, for a peace that we seem far more interested in achieving than Iraq's own political leaders,' Reid said.

"Republicans said Democrats were being irresponsible."

Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known
As Camelot...

Well, 4 months of funding for our Glorious Emperor for life George Dubya's War of Liberation to achieve total victory permanently and forever, Amen. So, by way of comparison, with those 4 months bringing the war to 5 years:

• What will we have won?
• A freer, more democratic Iraq?
• Peace and harmony in the middle east?
• Will we have caught Osama Bin Laden?

And as for torture, if you'd have asked me back in 1999, what percentage of Americans would be in favor of using Chinese, Soviet, Gestapo and Medeval methods to obtain confessions or information from human beings under scenario, I'd have said less than 3%. But after 7 years of Orwellian Newspeak and fear promotion and war, the number is over 35%? What sort of evil people are in this country?

Also, so Danny Cruiser, if in fact that is his real name - another of AA's identities? - has his what be the 7th or 8th article in a week??? I wish he could find some fulfillment in his life, and be able to have an honest discussion; unfortunatetly like all rightie trolls, that isn't possible.

cruz isn't AA

I know both.

George W. Bush
sits squarely on his tush
as he arrogantly pushes his surge
of our top shelf miliitary to the very verge
of collapse in an ill-begotten fascist invasion and
occupation of a fragmented nation and civil war in the sand
in order to further the agenda of our TransNatCorpoFed "leadership",
our emergiing oligarchical ruling caste, represented by the White House Drip.
The only way we can reclaim any vestige, however minisule,
from the disaster of Biblical proportions that is this misrule
is to impeach these evildoers in this administration
and elect real Congressional representation
by recalling the Fascist enablers,
defeating the false labelers
to replace the frightened
with the enlightened.

Just a thought.

Don't get me started.
