What - no VETO thread?

[Yawn]

Well, Reid and Pelosi (edited for civility), that was a good use of time, eh?

I hear you're going to go in to meet with the President, shut up, and see what he offers.

As it should be.

STFU.

Can we veto this thread?

I'd bet you'd see it differently if they were able to override the veto. But since it was a trump by Bush and those who still believe in the mission, it's time to call for a swipe of the censorship sword.

 

[GB-Hack]

No knock on the president here, Y, just on you.

What mission? I thought it was accomplished.

What mission? I thought it was accomplished.

Of course it is. Bush is the Biggest ****ing Hero in the World!

The veto was predictable, but of course, this administration couldn't do it without lifting its hind leg and pissing bucket-loads of hubris for the world to see.

Try to believe Bush said this today. Just try:

Hours before vetoing a war spending bill, President Bush said Tuesday that Democrats who made the legislation a showdown over withdrawing U.S. troops could turn Iraq into a terror-spreading "cauldron of chaos" with their approach.

"This is a prescription for chaos and confusion and we must not impose it on our troops," Bush said in a nationally broadcast statement from the White House.

Bush, in other words: Yes, worldwide terrorism increased by 29 percent last year, and it's at an all-time high under my watch. And most of those new incidents are IN IRAQ, where terrorists have flooded since our invasion, where not one of my lame-ass justifications has come to fruition. Our military continues to be befuddled by a bunch of rag-tag insurgents. But if the Democrats have any influence, things will really go to hell.

Today's Republican party has not an ounce of shame. None.

So, the L'il Commander thinks that the American people -- who polls show favor a withdraw timetable and trust the Democrats more on Iraq and national security -- will see him as the steadfast defender of our troops against the want-us-to-lose liberals.

He'll quickly discover, as he takes that 30 percent approval rating out for a spin, that, as with everything else about Iraq, he's spectacularly wrong.

He doesn't want the generals taking orders from politicians.
Somewhere, John Shinseki reaches for the bourbon...

Do you mean Eric Shinseki?

*Serious question, not smart-ass*

 

[Yawn]

It's easy to favor a timetable if the question is framed right.

How about "If we show progress by Petreus' fall deadline and appear to be winning the war, do you want to finish the job or immediately withdraw?"

Here's betting that "Since Iraq is in total chaos and Sen. Reid says we are losing the war, should we bring our soldiers home?"

You can manipulate the answers to these damn things on the bias of the person asking the question.

John Shinseki is the former Army Chief of Staff.

WAAAAY too many facts and far too much truth for a Yawn thread. Will you not learn, Joe? How dare you insert common sense and responsibility into one of his threads; it's his Kryptonite.

The veto should be good news to you Yawn ... now you can show your patriotism by enlisting and heading to Iraq to preserve our freedoms that those nasty Muslims have been taking from us.
