Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 I still think it's basically Bush trying to drag this out 'til he leaves office, so he can't take the blame for us leaving Iraq, and that whole country falling into chaos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 Exactly. It's a cheap trick, but not one easy to stop. We can pull out EARLIER, but then he'll just blame all the ensuing mayhem on the congress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 I just don't get how all these Republicans can still be in favor of staying in Iraq. I guess they don't value their jobs too highly. I do think the Democrats should have avoided putting all that pork in the bill, though. It would be one less thing for the President and the GOP to bitch about.

Dr. Zaius 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 I just don't get how all these Republicans can still be in favor of staying in Iraq. I guess they don't value their jobs too highly. Either they actually think they're right, or they think they can win the voters back by November 08 if they make the Democrats sound like they don't SUPPORT THE TROOPS™. (This is how this is being framed after all, not as a debate about the war, but whether or not Congress will SUPPORT THE TROOPS™.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Bringing troops home to the safety of America seems pretty supportive to me, but I'm probably one of those anti-American liberals ® trying to give comfort and aide to the enemy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 A huge increase in terrorism after this Administration fumbled the handling of the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor is 'nothing to get excited about'? I know it's not the same as bumping into a Mexican on the sidewalk or anything like that but still seems like kind of a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to do some baiting shit, I just want to hear some reasoned detail for this argument. It can be done, so don't think I'll automatically disagree.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 gary floyd was talking about Bush's veto, right? I just meant that everyone saw it coming. The Democrats will just have to keep pressing the President, so he keeps looking worse and worse in the media, until he finally caves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 What, I'm supposed to act all shocked and appalled by a veto everyone knew was coming? Please. There's been much worse things to get up in arms about regarding Iraq than one veto by a completely obstinate president, who clearly is unwilling to change his course of action in regards to his war.
