#1 US House wants Iraq pullout by next April Fools' Day

I suppose all sense of irony is lost upon these traitorous bastards.

#3 TRUTHOUT/OTHERS > basically, no one in the USA should expect a withdrawal or pullout either wid this POTUS [Dubya], or any GOP-DEM successor to Dubya. All the hoopla is only about MINOR OR LIMITED SCALEBACK /REDUX OF MILFORS in relation to level = scale of insurgent actions, or inthe altern MEANINGLESS "TALKING POINTS/PR" FOR 2008 ELEX. Very few GOP-DEM pols in the USG support a major and or total withdrawal of US milfors from either Iraq or the ME region, at least for the duration of the WOT + insurgency within Iraq proper. Can label it MURTHA-ISM, or "Talking the Talk but NOT Walking the Walk", etc.

#4 "Tis why many dedicated anti-US Islamists, Terrorists, etc. are now realizing that, to save Radical Islamism and its agenda from defeat, America itself must be attacked, destabilized and warred against from within. GOOD NEWS FOR ISLAMISTS > RUSSIA > RUSSIAN TERRITORY TO ENLARGE [by 0.46 Milyuhn square miles] DUE TO DISCOVERY OF HYDROCARBON IN ARCTIC. Also, CHINA > TOLD RUSSIA IT IS OFFICIO AGAINST US GMD/BMD/ABM RADARS AND MISSLES BEING SET UP IN ALASKA.

#6 That margin can turn. End Shiite encroachment and Sunni terror will lose its decreasing support base. That is already happening. And the al-Sadrites took an ass-kicking this week when then mortared the Green Zone.

Al-Jazeera has already reported the "Tet Offensive" analogies that surfaced in the dhimmi press. The terrorists might attempt to capitalize on that comfort to the enemy.

#7 Is it anything more than posturing? Unless the Senate passes matching legislation this can't become law.

One third of the Representatives are up for election in 2008, so let's take a look at throwing out some of the idiots. That should solve the problem.

#8 and a pony.

I'm waiting for the polling people to ask "Not that you'd want it to happen, but do you think the military could do a better job of running the government than ~~the morons in~~ Congress?".

#9 TW ALL of the reps. are up for election in 2008 and a third of the Senate.

Do you think we could get by if we don't elect anyone for a few cycles?

#10 Congressional incumbents are like vampires, you just can't get rid of them.

#11 pure posturing - they can't override a veto with those numbers

#12 I play Doom and Quake, yes there is a way to kill Vampires, blow them to small pieces with a grenade or rocket, they then will not regenerate.

#13 Of course you're right, Alan. *sigh* Clearly I must stop trying to think before my morning nap.

Sadly, if we don't elect anyone, the current crop will insist on staying.

#14 Time to bring back the "Throw the Bums Out" movement of the early 90's - remember? Term limits? Contract with America? It worked then and can still work now. We just need a Gingrich type intellect with a Reganistic personality. Fred? (Thompson that is). Hell even Pruitt could be the Fred we need.

#15 Nothing but bluster and appeasing the left's moonbat fringe.

Anyone who knows a respectable amount regarding our troops and equipment in Iraq will also know that it is impossible to withdraw within that timeline.
