Continuing Saga, Iraq War At Home

"Bush Fights Back"

Hey folks,

Happy Monday morning. It is Monday. It is my least favorite day of the week. It is also the beginning of a new chapter in the continuing saga of the war at home. It seems that Bush has had enough.

He seems to be finally coming out and saying what we all already know. The LWL, {Left Wing Looneys/ Democrat leadership} are trying to micro manage this war. In his radio address to the nation, {Immediately following this uninterrupted} Bush tells it like it is. I love that. But the MMD {Mass Media Drones} seem to have a problem with this. This is just two examples, more to come, I’m sure, in the coming days.

Democrats who are moving ahead with anti-war legislation are using troops as leverage to win domestic political battles, President Bush said Saturday. Democrats pledged to keep pushing until there is a change of course in Iraq.

That’s what I’ve been telling you.

Bush said some lawmakers see a chance "to micromanage our military commanders, force a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq and spend billions on domestic projects that have nothing to do with the war on terror."

In his weekly radio address, the president said, "Many in Congress say they support the troops, and I believe them. Now they have a chance to show that support in deed, as well as in word."

Bush repeated his promise that his spending request for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan must be approved "without strings and without delay" or he will veto it.

Finally, President Bush is starting to say enough of this garbage. In essence he is saying "I AM the President and Commander and Chief. You are not. We WILL do things my way"

Listen to this arrogance.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., in her party's weekly radio address, promoted a Democratic plan to narrow the mission of U.S. forces in Iraq and begin redeployment of U.S. troops within four months.

"Regrettably, our effort was blocked by Senate Republicans and a president who stubbornly refused to listen," Murray said.

He doesn’t have too. If he wasn’t listening to you when this war first started, went in and did what he should have, this would be long since over and we would have won. But he DID listen to people like you, and we are where we are now.

Then you have this story by JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer Sun Mar 18, 7:03 AM ET, talking about vetoes.

The president with the fewest vetoes in more than a century, George W. Bush is poised to make up for lost time as congressional Democrats move legislation the White House says is unacceptable.

One folks,

In July, Bush issued the only veto of his presidency, killing a bill on the use of federal money for stem cell research. The veto stuck when the House failed to get the two-thirds majority needed to override it.

That is the cleanest record since the veto-less presidency of James A. Garfield. He was shot four months after he took office in 1881 and died several months later.

By comparison, Bill Clinton vetoed 37 bills over two terms, George H.W. Bush 44 in his four-year term and Ronald Reagan 78 in his two terms.

George W. Bush's low numbers reflect his cooperative relationship with the Republicans who ran Congress during most of his first six years. Democrats see it somewhat differently.

OK, you want to know why? They were not giving him looney bills. Bills that make no sense. Bills that are NOT what they are. Bills saying one thing with a bunch of provisions which ACTUAL create something completely different and unrelated.

"My view is that the country paid a huge price for a Congress that acted like it was not an equal branch of government," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel ( D-Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Caucus.

You, Congress, or anyone else, ARE NOT equal to the President. He is the only one. Sorry to burst your bubble there chairman. Believe it or not, unless you are willing to work together, you can not get anything done. Oh yeah, like you are doing now. Getting nothing done.

Don’t forget, coming right up, the President's Radio address complete and uninterrupted.
