    Dodd On Iraq

    Attention Senate Democrats - more of this please:

    "Rather than picking up votes, by removing the deadline to get our troops out of Iraq you have lost this Democrat's vote. Despite the fact that this has been the bloodiest summer of the war and report after report says that there has been little to no political progress, the White House continues to argue that their strategy is working. It is clear that half measures are not going to stop this President or end this war. I cannot and will not support any measure that does not have a firm and enforceable deadline to complete the redeployment of combat troops from Iraq. Only then will Congress be able to send a clear message to the President that we are changing course in Iraq, and a message to the Iraqis that they need to get their political house in order. I urge my colleagues to join me and declare their opposition to this measure."

    Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? Joe Biden?

    Bueller?

    It's too late for any hope for our troops or our nation...

    Bush will attack Iran and this will lead to huge wars and unending conflict destroy America's leading role in the world and change the balance of power..

    The only thing to do now is turn to God and beg His forgiveness for G.W. Bush and Americas throwing it's great gifts away..

    This Congress will be remember as the worst in American history and our so called Candidates don't get it at all..

    Millions and Millions of lives will be lost ruined and all thanks to those vile pig swine of the U.S. Supreme Court who forsake the Law and Constitution and inflicted this pernicious shallow individual upon America and the needy people of the world..

    Get your house in order this goes beyond cheap politics Bush will be our ruin, Impeachment was our only hope and now it is too late the dye is cast..

    Marian Visions:


    Marian Visions and misguided minions

    An icy pall awaits to descend

    You can feel a presence, sense foot steps comin

    Nothing it touches is the same again

    It's in granite and plaster that times moving faster

    To that destination where this mystery began

    It's on the drums of Africa, the Tora the Quran, Bagadavita, the Bible those hand books of man

    That salvation is singular for each individual

    There's no crossing that threshold holding anyones hand

    But there's footsteps to follow, all short cuts ring hollow

    The Kremlin, the Pentagon are both built on sand

    So go tell your brother we're in charge of each other from India an Pakistan, Israel and Iran

    So go tell your brother, we're in the charge of each other, every father and child, women and man..

    Marian visions and misguided minions an icy pall awaits to descend..

    Just takes a simple congressional majority to starve the beast.

    Dust off the timetable bill that passed last spring...stick with it this time...and let's bring 'em on!
