The Looneys Must Be Loonier

Hey folks,

Happy FRIDAY to you. You know, the LWL has to be beside themselves. They have to be. Just yesterday I told you about the Democrat Debate. You know, the one where they said , “Screw you.” to the anti-war crowd. “If we can end this thing to blame bush before 08, we ill. No doubt. But if we get into the White House in 08? Screw you!, we will NOT bring the troops home and cause defeat to be blamed on us.”

Then I see this in the New York Times last night. NYT-Senate Urges Bush to Declare Iran Guard a Terrorist Group By David M Herszenhorn

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 — The Senate approved a resolution on Wednesday urging the Bush administration to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization, and lawmakers briefly set aside partisan differences to approve a measure calling for stepped-up diplomacy to forge a political solution in Iraq.

Since last month, the White House has been weighing whether to declare the Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist group or to take a narrower step focusing on only the Guard’s elite Quds Force. Either approach would signal a more confrontational posture by declaring a part of the Iranian military a terrorist operation.

Appearances by the Iranian president Mahmond Ahmadinejad on Monday at Columbia University and on Tuesday at the United Nations where he said Iran would ignore Security Council resolutions about its nuclear program, seemed to toughen the resolve of Senate Democrats, who had been hesitant to take an overly aggressive stance.

The Senate resolution, which is not binding, also calls on the administration to impose economic sanctions on Iran.

ARE you following this?

Even if the White House took that step, policy experts said, it was unclear that it would be anything more than a symbolic gesture without the cooperation of nations that, unlike the United States, still had substantial business dealings with Iran.

AKA Russia and North Korea. But, uh, who cares?

The measure, proposed by Senator Jon Kyl, Republican of Arizona, and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman an Independent from Connecticut, who usually votes with Republicans on war issues, relied heavily on testimony earlier this month by Gen. David H. Petraeus, the commander in Iraq, and Ambassador Ryan C Crocker the top American political official in Baghdad.

They heard the truth and are responding to it.

In negotiations, two crucial paragraphs were deleted from the measure in an attempt to reassure critics who had said the proposal seemed to urge the Bush administration to deal with Iran on a war footing.

GET THIS!!!

Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, a Democrat and the majority leader, voted for the proposal after initially urging caution. “We certainly don’t want to be led down the path, slowly but surely, until we wind up with the situation like we have in Iraq today,” he said Tuesday. “So I am going to be very, very cautious.”

He voted TO label Iran’s military a TERRORIST organization!!

Senator Jim Web, Democrat of Virginia, warned Tuesday that an early draft of the proposal “could be read as tantamount to a declaration of war.”

“What do we do with terrorist organizations if they are involved against us?” Mr. Webb asked in a speech on Tuesday. “We attack them.”

We do, we should, we will, if need be.

Even with the two paragraphs deleted, Mr. Webb voted against the resolution. So did a number of other Democrats who are among the harshest critics of the Bush administration’s handling of the war. The measure passed by a vote of 76 to 22.

TRANSLATION time, those owned by Soros via MoveOn.org.

Among those voting against it was Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. Democrat of Delaware, and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who said he feared that the administration could use the measure to justify military action against Iran.

The rest of this article is about Biden idiotic idea of dividing Iraq. You can not divide what you do not run. You are doing enough division here.

But seriously folks. They nuts must be absolutely losing it right now. First, Tuesday night they heard this.

"I think it's hard to project four years from now," said Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the opening moments of a campaign debate in the nation's first primary state.

"It is very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting," added Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

"I cannot make that commitment," said former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina.

Then yesterday, in what is like a holy grail to some, the NYT they read this? They cannot be too happy right now.
