When Will They Stop?
With our military stretched to the breaking point thanks to the Iraq War, when will Beltway reporters stop equating support for continuing the war indefinitely with support for the military?

The bozos in both parties will never stop. They'll keep doing to us all what they did to my son. First, they'll make you economically and financially weak and vulnerable with all their economic policies of "free trade" and tax cuts for the wealthy. Next, they'll guarantee you permanent "employment" in the army with a breath of confidence that you won't make it alive or well !
When will the Bidens, Clintons, Lugers...and the rest of the "good Germans" finally get it?
The choice is to cut off Bush at the purse with a simple majority...or to subsidize this mindless carnage for another 2 years.
BTW folx, this Iraq nonsense is now costing well over $1000/year per each US household.
If you haven't seen this you video yet, it frickin hillarious.

Its not just the elitist beltway pundits but both parties are just as culpable. For the last 30 years both parties supported illegal wars, punivtive expeditions, etc and all for nefarious objectives.
Its also one of the reasons why the Democrats haven't done jack shit to stop "free" trade, off-shoring, in-sourcing, etc. Because the same folks affected by these policies also provide the military with able bodies and the last thing the Democrats want is to dry up that well of recruits for the war machine.
You think Reid cares? His sons work for K Street pulling down nice six figure incomes with more perks than G-d. Pelosi is no better. They had a golden opportunity to stop Bush a few months back but instead rolled over like a whipped dog and green lighted more wars as well.
I'll go even further. You know all those screamin latte drinkin liberals against the war? Well the moment they get what they want, they'll abandon the soldiers just like they've done to the working class they come from. Its all politics to these activists. Saw that during the Clinton era.
The working class in this country has to look out for themselves. The profession protestor class has their own agenda and its not friendly at all to working class Americans.
I have family on their 4th deployment which was extended..!
How many Bush's are serving in Iraq..?
At least the British Royal family actually serves in The Military and their wars..ours gets drunk and robs banks..!
One of the problems with the Bushiato is that they look on the American People as "belonging" to this country in a different way than the American People look upon "belonging" to this country.
The American people "belong" to this country the way we "belong" to a family. You are part of a community in which you are respected and a valued member.
The Bushiato looks on the American people "belonging" to this country as being objects to be used and disposed of for the aggrandizement of their oligarchial cartel.
Power to the people!!
IMPEACH THE WANNABE DICTATOR!!!!
