“No timetable, no funding. No excuses.

Because it’s the right thing to do”

every morning.

Oh how I would love to have an email-o-thon, where every progressive blogger gets 10 people besides themselves to email congress and the president, and advise the idjits and fools as to how we should go forward.

And what will the reaction be tonight and tomorrow from the Democrats on the Bush speech later this evening?

As for me, I don’t much care what Bush says. His actions must be monitored, but his words are pretty much irrelevant. We (including Congress and bloggers) are executing a policy in response (though some people are late in coming to realize it).

What else is there except to get rid of Bush & Co as fast as we legally can? They’re a disaster and are hurting everyone.

Bush’s personal mantra, as revealed in a campaign interview in 1999 or 2000, is “The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.” If the risk pays off, he takes all the credit. If the risk doesn’t pay off, someone else has always done the paying and the dying. No wonder he’s such an eager risk-taker.

That’s the logic of someone who has NEVER won and is willing to risk anything to finally get that ONE win he needs to feel good about himself, to feel he’s not really cursed.

But, does the win ever come? Not in Junya’s case. L!

“The magic word “oil” mysteriously vanished from the whole drama performed this week in front of Congress. To get it, the answer is once again divide and rule – let’s have those Sunnis and Shi’ites tear each other to bits while we “stay the course” pretending to protect them from themselves while trying to protect “our” oil. Bush’s “surge” may indeed be a success – but for all the reasons the general would not dare tell the world.”‘
Asia Times says it best.

I called Sen. Sherrod Brown’s office yesterday, asking about his stand on getting out of Iraq.
The staffer said he was for a staged withdrawal of troops.
I told her that getting that many troops out would have to be done in stages just to accomplish it, but the point is to start right now, and to not fund anymore for the war, period. Otherwise we’re going to lose a lot more soldiers—plus seats in COngress, respect, etc.
I just don’t know what to say anymore. People i think ‘get it’ evidently do not.”

yeah, and charlie wilson is with mr. schmooze boehner in iraq right now……so far his sound clips are pull out, but wait till mr. schmooze gets to him on the plane……..my parents live in boehnerville, he is famous for his golden tongue…….people who hate him vote for him anyway……..

So Bush has allegedly said if the Webb Amendment passes, no problem. He’ll make up the deployments with the Guard and Reserves

How much of this would it take before there started to be some kind of pushback from soldiers?

you know, people saw it, you know they did…………that’s what matters.

In the NY Times article I mentioned above, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois says, “We have the public behind us, but we don’t have the votes in the Senate.”

Seems we’re gonna have to remind these Democratic Congressional fools that they do feckin’ indeed have the power to force Junya to obey.

And that power is the power of the purse!

I guess I’ll repeat my diatribe on just how to do it:

Bill Writing for Dummies Democrats

or

Stand up, you spineless, craven worms!

My take on how to write some decent Defense Authorization legislation that would force Junya’s hand on the Iraq War:

Defense Authorization bill…blahdee, blahdee, blah. Here’s the $50 to $150 billion you requested, how-feckin’-ever,

Section Such and Such – Under no circumstances can any of the monies provided in this legislation be used to transport troops into the Iraq Theater of Operations (ITO) by air, land or sea, by any means what-so-ever. Funding in this bill is available for the removal of troops from the ITO, but not for transport into the ITO.

This bill explicitly prohibits any troop transport into the ITO. None! Nada! Zilch!

The penalities for violating this law are:

A. If any member of the military should violate this law, that person shall:
- be immediately dishonorably discharged from the military,
- reduced in rank to Buck Private,
- lose all government pension rights,
- immediately be sentenced to 15 years at hard labor in Fort Leavenworth with absolutely no possibility of parole, pardon, nor reduction of sentence for any reason.

B. If any civilian member of the executive branch, its departments and/or agencies in an appointive or Civil Service position violates this law, that person shall:
- be immediately fired from the government,
- lose all government pension rights,
- immediately be sentenced to 25 years in a Federal penitentiary at hard labor with absolutely no possibility of parole, pardon, nor reduction of sentence for any reason,
-and fined $10 million dollars.

C. If any elected civilian member of the executive branch violates this law, that person shall:
- be immediately impeached and removed from any position in government,
- lose all government and private pension rights,
- immediately be sentenced to Life in a Federal penitentiary at hard labor with absolutely no possibility of parole, pardon, nor reduction of sentence for any reason,
- and have all personal and family assets and monies stripped in accordance with the RICO statute and said assets and monies be used to feebly compensate all who have lost or have suffered grievous injuries to their loved ones.

D. Should any person by action or inaction, challenge the legality of this legislation, the Majority Leaders of either the House or the Senate, as well as the Chairs of the Armed Services Committees shall have all standing to pursue any challenge in Federal court.

Junya, sign right here_________________

If you veto this bill, there ain’t gonna be another and you, turkey, will have shutdown our military!

Great idea and feckin’ hilarious!!
