Lawmakers Who Were Almost Shot Down Declare ‘Significant Progress’ In Iraq

They were actually shooting AT Katie Couric’s plane coming in. But the perfume and her flip deflected the incoming.

Oklahoma kiddo @ 54

The sheets of paper seemed to be everywhere the lawmakers went in the Green Zone, distributed to Iraqi officials, U.S. officials and uniformed military of no particular rank. So when Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) asked a soldier last weekend just what he was holding, the congressman was taken aback to find out.

In the soldier’s hand was a thumbnail biography, distributed before each of the congressmen’s meetings in Baghdad, which let meeting participants such as that soldier know where each of the lawmakers stands on the war. “Moran on Iraq policy,” read one section, going on to cite some the congressman’s most incendiary statements, such as, “This has been the worst foreign policy fiasco in American history.”

it’s disgusting!
outrageous!
is it criminal?

I’d say that if US $$$ went into this political propoaganda it is illegal. It could be seen as an effort to influence the votes and votes of others regarding those legislators.

Of course, it could also backfire…it assumes that most of the troops are in support of the war anymore…or will be if they still are there in 2008.

By Kristina Cooke NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks surged on Friday as President Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reassured investors they would do what was needed to shelter the economy from market turmoil.

They wouldn’t be so happy about “the economy” being protected? Bush will want to protect his base, al Bush Qaeda, the have-mores. Whether he’s restrained and redirected by his Council of Economic Advisors, Sec. Paulson and Ben Bernanke is unknown.

The wrong signal to the market and it might throw up before the ARM crisis even gets here.

Fuck the fucking yankees.

Ditto.

I also support the Blue America decision on candidates;) It’s time to make the “war” a critical issue for those who want to tap the efforts of our most energetic.
