Iraqi Troops Supported, Sad American Troops Not

Hey folks,

I do not know about you, but I’m tired of the Traitors in our Government {Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, and some others} playing politics with our troops lives. I’m tired of the quest of their to lose the war. To surrender to the enemy. I’m tired of them doing NOTHING. I guess in a way, I’m happy they have done nothing, because what they want to do, will damage this country, cost me and you more money than ever before {Taxes}. End free speech. Change the very way this country is. They would also remove any chance of us, Americans, from removing them from power. They would create a tyranny. If the were able to do what they wanted.

But let’s talk about the troops. Our brave men and women in the war. That volunteered to go there fight and die for THEM as well as us. Now they have a right to free speech, just like anyone else. They have played games and made political statements. Fine. Then they had another opportunity to support the troops. They failed to a second time. Now? Well, according to the BBC, at lease the Iraqi troops are being supported. BBC -First steps to arming Iraq's soldiers

Providing the army with new weapons is an important part of the plan to modernise Iraq's security services and make them self-sufficient. The BBC's James Shaw went to the US army's Camp Taji, near Baghdad, to see one Iraqi squad receive their new M16 rifles.

The convoy of four armoured Humvees and two black 4x4s rumbles down the highway heading north out of Baghdad.

Blue lights flash, sirens wail, the soldiers manning the turrets on top of the Humvees swing their machine-guns from side to side.

Get this.

So far, fewer than 2,000 have been given M16s. The official strength of the Iraqi Army at the moment is more than 143,000.

The man in charge of re-arming the Iraqi soldiers is US Army Lieutenant Colonel Don Easter.

"We're looking at the entire Iraqi Army," he says.

"We're looking at a process that's going to take well beyond a year, and could be upward of two years, depending on if there are any pauses in the process throughout this time."

It is a mammoth task, but in itself only a small piece of the effort to modernise Iraq's security forces and make them self-sufficient.

And all this takes no account of the fact that pressure is mounting on President Bush to end the US involvement in Iraq.

That might mean disengagement from the country before this and many other programmes have been completed.

That’s right folks. WE are arming the Iraqis. We are trying to get them to a point where they can stand on their own, which would mean, we LEAVE. Job completed . You know, what they, LWL WANT. The Looneys want us out. But they want us out BEFORE the job is done. They want us to lose. They want to create a failure there so they can blame Bush. It’s truly sad that OUR own men a women, are NOT being supported by their own government. Insead of supporting the troops. We get stories like this one. According to the AP -Pelosi says Bush has 'tin ear' on Iraq

President Bush has a "tin ear" when it comes to Iraq and should compromise with majority Democrats on a war spending bill with a timetable for U.S. troops to leave, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

With hopes of getting a new bill to President Bush before the Memorial Day weekend, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that Republicans "don't want a retreat date in there, a surrender date."

Noone but the Traitors Do. The President will not sign ANY bill that does.

The White House and Congress failed to come up with a deal last week after exchanging offers and Bush's chief of staff said after a Capitol Hill meeting Friday that "timelines for withdrawal are just not the right way to go.

McConnell spoke of the need for legislation that would pass both the House and Senate, where Democrats hold a slimmer edge. He mentioned a proposal advanced by Sen. John Warner, R-Va., and other Republicans that would set standards for the Iraqi government to meet and condition reconstruction funds on progress toward achieving the goals.

"It's what can pass the Senate," McConnell said.

To Pelosi, however, "This is too little, too late. This would have been an appropriate measure maybe three or four years ago. But the accountability is very meager in the bill," she said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

The public wants accountability, said Pelosi, D-Calif., and "that is where the president refuses to listen. We've worked in a bipartisan way with the president on trade, on immigration, on our innovation agenda, on many issues. But when it comes to the war in Iraq, the president has a tin ear. He just cannot hear, except that which he wants to hear on it."

You are a Twit Traitor Pelosi.. YOU, Reid, Murtha, and the like ARE ACCOUNTABLE for using Soldiers lives for political gain. YOU are accountable for not supporting the Troops. YOU are guilty of TREASON. You should be removed from office. Period. The only thing that keeps you, Reid {who has declared the war lost already} and others in office, is the fact that there seems to be no Republican, Democrat, or Moderate, with enough moral strength to stand up and call for you to step down or be removed. You need to be investigated, and charged when and where needed. The blood of our men and women, sons and daughters, is on YOUR hands. SUPPORT the Troops already!

Asked whether Congress would send the White House another spending bill with a timeline, she said, "We're working on what we do now."

"One thing is for sure: By the time we leave here to honor our war veterans and those who have given their lives for our country on Memorial Day weekend, we will have legislation to fund the troops," Pelosi said.

Not if you put timetables in. This is getting old REALLY fast. You are either too ignorant to see what you are doing, to blind by your hatred for Bush, or worse yet, are doing this on purpose, with full knowledge.

Listen to the American people. Listen to The Troops. Listen to Sen McConnell.

"I do have the votes to uphold the veto. We need to stay away from a surrender date," McConnell said.

"Look, we need to have a compromise if we want to get the job done before Memorial Day. We know how to get there. It's to take out the surrender date. Any kind of reasonable benchmarks on the Iraqi government I think are going to have broad bipartisan support. That's clearly the way to get there," McConnell said.

It’s been 104 days without funds to support the Troops. This is YOUR fault. YOU are to blame. Not the President. Not the Troops, Not the American people. YOUR fault. Stop playing childish games with the lives of our Troops and fund them. You people really make me sick. You are completely disgusting. You are completely incompetent. You are committing Treason. It IS just that simple.

The Movement Is Growing

Hey folks,

It seems the movement is growing. More and more people are starting to get more and more serious in dealing with Traitor Reid. No I haven’t heard from the White House yet, if ever, but I have noticed a lot more people calling Reid to step down or be removed. You heard it here first folks. I told you what would happen if they take over. I warned you that the Democrat party was completely taken over by the LWL {Left Wing Looney fringe} I started to tell you that they were walking a very thin line between practicing their freedom of speech and Treason. I told you when they crossed that line. I have been saying now for a while that Reid and Pelosi are committing treason and need to step down or be dealt with for what they are. Now?

On the Senate floor, Senator Lieberman gave a great speech pointing out the idiocies of Traitor Reid. Way to go Joe. A Republican Senator started calling for Reid to resign. The Washington Post has this opinion piece by David Broder.

Here's a Washington political riddle where you fill in the blanks: As Alberto Gonzales is to the Republicans, Blank Blank is to the Democrats -- a continuing embarrassment thanks to his amateurish performance.

If you answered Harry Reid, give yourself an A. And join the long list of senators of both parties who are ready for these two springtime exhibitions of ineptitude to end.

He pointed out.

On "Fox News Sunday," Schumer offered this clarification of Reid's off-the-cuff comment. "What Harry Reid is saying is that this war is lost -- in other words, a war where we mainly spend our time policing a civil war between Shiites and Sunnis. We are not going to solve that problem. . . . The war is not lost. And Harry Reid believes this -- we Democrats believe it. . . . So the bottom line is if the war continues on this path, if we continue to try to police and settle a civil war that's been going on for hundreds of years in Iraq, we can't win. But on the other hand, if we change the mission and have that mission focus on the more narrow goal of counterterrorism, we sure can win."

Everyone got that? This war is lost. But the war can be won. Not since Bill Clinton famously pondered the meaning of the word "is" has a Democratic leader confused things as much as Harry Reid did with his inept discussion of the alternatives in Iraq.

Now many more people are coming out and getting brave enough to say what needs to be said. I want to share this with you folks. This is from Family Security Foundation, by Pamela Meister.

Traitor, n. One who betrays one’s country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.

Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed what many Americans have suspected for some time now: that the Democrat Party is not only weak on defense, but weak on national pride.

Reid stated that, "I believe myself that the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the President knows - (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday."

Reid’s fellow Democrats were curiously silent regarding this proclamation from on high, except for florid Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, who came to Reid’s defense. "Who are we surrendering to? This is an unconventional war and it has to be dealt with in unconventional ways. ... What is failure is this bankrupt policy, this ineffective no-win policy of the administration."

As a result of the backlash by the White House and Republicans, Reid tried to backpedal, saying he meant that we would lose only if we continue to follow the "president’s path." But it’s not so easy to fool the people in this age of instant communication and new media. Reid cooked his own goose by saying exactly what he meant.

Meanwhile, despite their constant carping and criticizing of the progress in Iraq, it seems that Democrat leaders are more interested in dishing dirt than getting the real scoop on what’s happening. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (who recently traveled to Syria against the wishes of the White House) and other top House Democrats passed on attending a bipartisan video briefing on Iraq by General David Petraeus back in March, as did Senate Democrats. The only exception was Michigan Sen. Carl Levin, whose voice has been one of the only ones on the left saying that the funding rug should not be pulled out from under our troops.

With friends like this, who needs enemies?

One of the few constant voices of reason on the left has been that of Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. Targeted by far-left bloggers and 527 groups during the 2006 election because of his unwavering support of our mission in Iraq and the war against Islamofascism, Lieberman lost the primary to newcomer Ned Lamont, only to win the general election by a large margin as an independent. (Hint to would-be candidates: elections are rarely won on one-issue platforms, especially against popular incumbents.) Lieberman, who still officially caucuses with Democrats on many issues, was quick to take Harry Reid to task over his treasonous "the war is lost" comments.

"With all due respect, I strongly disagree. Senator Reid’s statement is not based on military facts on the ground in Iraq and does not advance our cause there. Al Qaeda’s strategy for victory in Iraq is clear. They are trying to murder as many innocent civilians as possible in an effort to re-ignite sectarian fighting and drive us to retreat from Iraq. The question now before us is whether we respond to these terrorist attacks by running away as Al Qaeda hopes - abandoning the future of Iraq, the Middle East, and ultimately our own security to the very same people responsible for this week’s atrocities - or whether we stand united to fight them. This is exactly the wrong time to conclude that we have lost the war in Iraq, or that our new strategy has failed. Instead, we should provide General Petraeus and his troops with the time and the resources to succeed. We should not surrender in the face of barbarism."

We live in interesting times when Democrats embrace not those who would have us win armed conflicts against brutal enemies, but those who would rather we tuck our tails and run at the first opportunity in the name of political expediency. During last year’s campaign, Lieberman was dropped like a hot potato by his Democrat colleagues. One of those who turned on Lieberman was fellow Connecticut senator Chris Dodd, who is now a candidate for president. It wasn’t until he won re-election as an independent (thus making his vote important in a slim majority situation) that Democrats again began to speak of Lieberman as a friend and associate. The term "fair weather friends" certainly takes on new meaning in Washington D.C.

Like President Bush, Lieberman has never faltered in his belief that a strong offense against Islamofascists is essential for not only America’s survival, but for that of all of Western civilization. He has taken a lot of political heat for it, but refuses to water down his views in order to appease the appeasers on the left. Saying what you mean and standing by it shows true character. Joe Lieberman has it. Harry Reid, who felt he had to "clarify" his remarks last week, does not.

Over the past four years, we have had to listen to many Democrats make unconscionable remarks regarding the war. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois likened our soldiers to Nazis. Sen. Ted Kennedy said that, under American control, Abu Ghraib represented "Saddam’s torture chambers re-opened under new management – U.S. management." Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania said Marines had "killed innocent civilians in cold blood" in Haditha. He made these atrocious, unfounded statements even before the military could begin conducting an investigation. DNC chairman Howard Dean said the idea that we will win in Iraq is "plain wrong." This continual degrading of our troops by liberal Democrats goes on and on and on. Yet none of these people have truly been taken to task for their remarks. As they pander to the anti-war, far-left wing of their party, Democrats continue on their crash course toward what they hope will be a White House victory in 2008 – long-term consequences be damned.

Former Senate Majority Trent Lott (R-MS) was forced to step down when he made a comment at a birthday party that many interpreted as being racist. Words indeed do have consequences. (Just ask Don Imus.) What of Harry Reid, whose words at a press conference last week were much more serious in that he gave hope and comfort to our enemies? What consequences will he have to face as a result? If the aftermath of Nancy Pelosi’s ill-advised trip to Syria in a foreign policy role is any indication, Reid doesn’t have much to worry about. Smug agreement by his fellow Democrats and a lack of gumption in the Republican Party means that Reid, in spite of declarations that would make even the likes of Benedict Arnold blush, will continue to be in a position to try to make President Bush look like a fool at the expense of our national security. Al Qaeda likely now is planning to simply hold on until America finally tires of war and partisan bickering and pulls the troops out. Then the real blood bath can begin, in Iraq and wherever else these terrorist thugs hold sway.

Harry Reid should be called upon to step down as Senate Majority Leader, before he can do more damage – if that’s even possible. But Reid’s rhetoric, like that of his counterpart in the House, shows that he has no honor. Winning in Washington has blinded them both to winning in Iraq.


Yes folks, the movement is growing. Gaining speed. Gaining power. We cannot stop until the Traitors step down or are removed. If we allow them the freedom they have now, to do ANYTHING without question nor accountability, they can and very well MAY, destroy this country. I warned you about this. Now others are starting to join with my voice. We MUST deal with these Traitors before it is too late.

I’m Buying President Bush A Pen

Hey folks,

He is going to need one. He is about to spend the next two years vetoing the insanity of the Traitors and the LWL {Left Wing Looneys}. Seriously folks, these people are too ignorant, or worst yet, know and just do not care about the foundation of this country. They do not care about the Constitution. I keep telling you this. Now I’m not alone. More and more people are starting to call them what they are. Traitors, and dangerous.

One good reason is simple. They are showing you on a daily bases who they are. Their own words and actions condemn them. Like this story from the AP -Reid offers bleak assessment of Iraq war, By ANNE FLAHERTY

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday the war in Iraq is "lost," triggering an angry backlash by Republicans, who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops.

They were NEVER on the troops side. The NEVER cared about the troops.

The bleak assessment — the most pointed yet from Reid — came as the House voted 215-199 to uphold legislation ordering troops out of Iraq next year.

Reid said he told President Bush on Wednesday he thought the war could not be won through military force, although he said the U.S. could still pursue political, economic and diplomatic means to bring peace to Iraq.

He is no expert. He is an idiot. He has no clue. Period.

"I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and — you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows — (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," said Reid, D-Nev.

They have been salivating, chopping at the bit, waiting for another attack. If they could get away with it, they would probably arrange it themselves. This is how sick they are. We are in a war. The surge is working. The enemy got lucky in this case that they were waiting to exploit. But the surge IS working. One more time, they cannot survive a victory in Iraq. So they will do ANYTHING they can to end it with a loss. "We support the troops?" Yet OK. Idiots.

"I can't begin to imagine how our troops in the field, who are risking their lives every day, are going to react when they get back to base and hear that the Democrat leader of the United States Senate has declared the war is lost," said Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Absolutely, Senator McConnell. He is attempting to hand them over to the enemy. He and Traitor Pelosi are withholding the crucial funds they need. They are still playing politics. Can you say stalling while our troops are dying? Still attempting to take over the roll of Commander and Chief, which is unconstitutional. They have and are planning to again, to travel the world to meet with America’s enemies and world leaders attempting to create their own foreign policy, which is unconstitutional. Giving a date of surrender to the enemy, undermining the President and helping the enemy, which is not only unconstitutional, but the very definition of treason.

Then you have this, just the latest, from Reuters -House approves voting rep for Washington DC, by Thomas Ferraro

The capital of the United States would get its first full representative in the U.S. Congress under a bill approved on Thursday in defiance of a White House veto threat.

The Democratic-led House of Representatives voted 241-177 to expand its chamber and provide a representative for the District of Columbia, a city commonly referred to as Washington in honor of America's first president.

Mayor Andrian Fenty called the action "a great and historic day for the residents of the District of Columbia" and urged the Senate to give its needed concurrence.

Not that they care, but THIS would be unconstitutional also. This will lead to another veto. It goes on to say,

Foes charge that giving the District, capital of the United States for more than 200 years, a representative would violate the U.S. Constitution, which declares that House lawmakers be elected exclusively by the states.

"D.C. is not a state and the Constitution clearly limits representation in the House to states," said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee.

Accordingly, the White House has said if the bill was sent to Republican President George W. Bush, he would veto it.

They have crossed the line folks. These people are just completely insane. They are trying to destroy the country. In the midst of all this, they have done NOTHING, zip, zero, NOTHING for this country. They have accomplished NOTHING. Passed NOTHING. Improved this country in NO WAY.

Between all these things, you have the Stem Cell bill, veto guarantee. So let’s count shall we? War spending veto. Stem cell bill veto. This new representative thing veto. You get the point. Meanwhile our troops are NOT being supported by them.

You know what is truly sad about this? They truly believe that you folks are stupid enough to let them do whatever they want. They truly believe, and apparently they are right about this one, that there is NO Republicans that have the guts, moral fortitude, or intelligence to stand up and call for investigations, or demand them removed. Even Bush doesn’t seem to stand up to them with the only exception of the Iraq deadline.

I’ve been warning you, they are on a quest for tyranny. Constitution be damned. If you are not careful, and a LWL member takes over the White House in 08, there will no longer be anything to stop them. You want to live with a tyrant in complete control of your life? In a country you cannot even recognize? All I can say is vote your conscious. Open your eyes. SEE what these people are attempting to do. This is not a war in a far off land. This is home. You WILL be effected. Your LIFE will be effected. This country that we enjoy now, will be effected. These people do NOT care about anything but them in power. They will sacrifice ANYTHING to keep it. Our troops, the Constitution, and yes, even YOU. Your free speech. Your money. Your very way of life. Someone with the power and authority to actually do something to stop them, needs to grow a set, and take these people on. They need to be knocked back into place and told, just DO the job the people voted you in for. Run the country.

War on War Funding Getting Serious

Hey folks,

I know that this seems to be a daily topic. That is because it is. Both sides are getting more and more serious. Since yesterday, when ABC of all people, reported how well things are going with the surge, {It’s working} the opposition has upped what they think is pressure to convince President Bush to give up. We are winning. I told you yesterday that they cannot allow that. In response, President Bush has increased his resolve. The words are getting tougher. Tactics harder. It is getting serious.

According to Reuters -Bush, Democrats clash over Iraq war funding,

President George W. Bush and Democrats in charge of Congress clashed again on Tuesday over funding for the Iraq war with no end likely soon to a defining battle over how long American forces will stay.

At a White House Rose Garden news conference, Bush skewered Democrats for going on a spring recess without approving $100 billion for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, a day ahead of leaving on his own Easter vacation in Texas.

He repeated what has been a near-daily vow to veto legislation approved last month by narrow margins in the Senate and the House of Representatives that would impose a troop withdrawal timetable. If he vetoes the legislation, lawmakers would have to begin anew on a funding bill.

"Democrat leaders in Congress seem more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than providing our troops what they need to fight the battles in Iraq," Bush said.

According to the AP-Bush calls Dems 'irresponsible' on Iraq , He said,

"Democrat leaders in Congress seem more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than in providing our troops what they need to fight the battles in Iraq," Bush said. "In a time of war, it's irresponsible for the Democrat leadership — Democratic leadership in Congress to delay for months on end while our troops in combat are waiting for the funds."

"They need to come off their vacation, get a bill to my desk, and if it's got strings and mandates and withdrawals and pork I'll veto it," the president said. "And then we can get down to the business of getting this thing done."

Now of course they respond in the usual way. "It’s all Bush’s fault." The American people want this." blah, blah, blah. None of this is true. But they are liars. Why expect anything else?

Then you have this comment.

"If President Bush vetoes funding for the troops, he will be the one who is blocking funding for the troops. Nobody else," said presidential candidate John Edwards.

Wrong. YOU are the ones that put pork in the bill to buy the votes. YOU {The group of Traitors} are the ones playing politics and using our soldiers as pawns. The President is doing what is best of them. He is the one trying to do whatever it takes to WIN. He is winning. Which pretty much means you are losing.

The Washington Post reported Bush Unwilling to Compromise on Iraq Funding,

In remarks at the Rose Garden today, Bush said he thinks he has the support to sustain a veto, and that if Congress is intent on putting troop withdrawal requirements in the funding bill they should do it soon so the process can move forward.

Ultimately, he said, Congress will need to approve money to fund the war effort, or risk a situation where troops in the field are left without necessary equipment or the rotation of different units is thrown off schedule. Military leaders have said that by mid-May funding restraints could force them to leave some troops in the field longer than planned because the money would not be available to equip and train replacements.

They quoted the President as saying,

"Delays beyond April and then into May will effect the readiness of the U.S. military...Enough politics. They need to come back. If they want to play politics, fine. They ought to do it quickly...I'll veto it. Then we can get down to the business of funding our troops."

They do not care about the troops. They do not care about winning. Actually, they own defeat. As I told you yesterday and repeatedly. They cannot allow us to win in Iraq. They cannot survive politically if we do. They have invested ALL in our defeat. They will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. I do not believe that the President will be backing down anytime soon either.

About that, I have some advice for President Bush. If I were you, I would start looking into the Constitution a little deeper. I have said in the past, but officially said yesterday, Reid, Pelosi, and those that follow them, are Traitors. Again, One who violates his allegiance and betrays his country; one guilty of treason; one who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to an enemy, or yields up any fort or place intrusted to his defense, or surrenders an army or body of troops to the enemy, unless when vanquished; also, one who takes arms and levies war against his country; or one who aids an enemy in conquering his country.

It was all over the places yesterday in radio and TV. "The word ‘Traitor’ is being thrown around out there. What do you think?" The ‘T’ word is starting to be used by some. How do you respond Senator?" ETC.

I’m not throwing the word around folks. If it walks like a Duck, and quacks like a Duck, guess what, it’s a Duck. If Reid, Pelosi, and those that follow them, walk like a Traitor, talks like a Traitor, guess what, they are TRAITORS.

They are trying to undermined the President, strip him of his CONSTITUTIONAL position of Commander and Chief, in a time of war. They are attempting to micro manage the war. They are global trotting around the world , meeting with our enemies. They are telling our enemies what we are planning to do in the war. They are telling our enemies, "Just cool it for now. We know our President is an idiot. But just sit back and wait, we will be leaving Iraq on this date. Then it's all yours. If our troops are still there, don’t worry, WE are seeing to it that they will not have the supplies they need. They will be all yours."

I’m not throwing the word around. I’m publically calling them Traitors. Yes, Mr Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, NBC, ABC, or whoever, I said it, mean it, would even come on your shows and say it again in person. I stand behind it. If I were you Mr. President, I would start to treat these people as who and what they are, before a single one of our men and women’s lives are lost at the hands of these Traitors.

LWL Leader Reid and Loyal Hack Feingold, Want To Leave Troops Stranded.

Hey folks,

It is official. No doubt about it now. LWL {Left Wing Looneys} Leader, and Traitor, Harry Ried wants to leave our troops on the battlefield without food, equipment, or anything else they need in the middle of a war. He is essence, wants to turn our troops over to the enemy. He wants America to lose this war.

According to the AP -Reid may move to cut Iraq war funds by ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday he wants to cut off money for the Iraq war next year, making clear for the first time that Democrats are willing to pull out all the stops to end U.S. involvement.

There is a reason for this increased push now. More on that in a bit.

Reid's new strategy faces an uphill battle because many of his colleagues see yanking funds as a dangerous last resort. The proposal increases the stakes on the debate and marks a new era for the Democratic leadership once reluctant to talk about Congress' power of the purse.

"In the face of the administration's stubborn unwillingness to change course, the Senate has no choice but to force a change of course," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who signed on Monday as a co-sponsor of Reid's proposal with Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis.

They HAVE changed course you moron. The surge is WORKING. This country, the administration, and the President himself, are not gutless cowards as you are. But that’s not the reason for the push.

The move is likely to intensify the Democrats' rift with the administration, which already contends Democrats are putting troops at risk by setting deadlines.

"It's time the self-appointed strategists on Capitol Hill understood a very simple concept: You cannot win a war if you tell the enemy you're going to quit," Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday at fundraising luncheon for Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

Of course it will be vetoed. So Reid said,

"If the president vetoes the supplemental appropriations bill and continues to resist changing course in Iraq, I will work to ensure this legislation receives a vote in the Senate in the next work period," Reid said in a statement.


So no food, weapons, ammo, anything. Then tell the enemy, "This is the day you will be able to take our troops." There is NO other explanation. That is a TRAITOR.

Fox news was reporting this last night. They report,

The legislation by Majority Leader Harry Reid and Wisconsin Senitor Russ Feingold is the "next step" in the Iraq debate, a spokesman for Feingold told FOX News on Monday. The new legislation essentially gives a hard deadline to language passed by the Senate last week in a supplemental war spending bill.

The supplemental war spending bill listed March 31, 2008, as a suggested goal for withdrawing all U.S. combat troops from Iraq. The new legislation would reinforce that date by preventing funding for the mission after that deadline.

"No funds appropriated or otherwise made available under any provision of law may be obligated or expended to continue the deployment in Iraq of members of the United States Armed Forces after March 31, 2008," reads the measure.

Now I know that this will most likely go nowhere. The last bill passed 50-48. There is no way that all the Senators will want to become a Traitor to their own country. I would hope anyway. But just the idea that they are writing and trying to pass this, shows them for who they are.

"Congress has a responsibility to end a war that is opposed by the American people and is undermining our national security. By ending funding for the president’s failed Iraq policy, our bill requires the president to safely redeploy our troops from Iraq," Feingold said in a written statement.

{Sigh} It’s NOT opposed by the American people, you simpleton. LOSING is. We were not doing good at the time of election. The American people wanted a "new direction." That is what they got with the surge. We are WINING. The surge is WORKING. You, and the rest of your cronies see this. YOU cannot survive politically if we win. Hence, THIS is the reason for the push. Cause our defeat before we DO win.

Then you have Newsmax.com reporting,

Vice President Dick Cheney repeated Bush's veto threat on Monday, saying lawmakers setting deadlines for withdrawal were calling for a U.S. "retreat." The effort was pointless, Cheney said, because lawmakers would not be able to muster the two-thirds majority needed to override Bush's veto.

"It's nothing less than an attempt to force the president's hand," Cheney said in prepared remarks at a reception for Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions. "They're going to find out that they've misread George W. Bush," he declared.

He’s not going to turn over his Commander and Chief title to a bunch of Traitors. Just simply, never going to happen. If they cut the funds. The deaths of the soldiers and any American lives lost after, will be solely on the hands of these Traitors. The President will not quit. Especially now that we are winning.

There is now NO doubt who our new Leaders are, and what they are all about. I said it yesterday, and I repeat it today. These people are Traitors. They should start to be treated as such. God forbid we get a LWL member in the White House in 08, along with keeping the LWL in power in Congress. This country would be doomed. The only thing we could do at that point, is hope theat the damage is not irreversible for sometime in the future.
