Rhetoric
By now I’m sure you’ve heard that our beloved Senator, Harry Reid , has co-sponsered a bill that would force a pull out of our troops. The only problem is, King George will veto it and the Dems don’t have enough votes to override.
This makes it as much of a dog and pony show as the nonbinding BS earlier this year.
I know it’s about appearences, but why do they waste the time and money, when they already know the outcome.
Have you noticed that the Dems haven’t kept any of their promises about big oil or the power of committee chairs?
For Harry’s stance on big oil go to the Las Vegas Business and Politics blog.
As much as I hate to agree with the President, to set an exact date for our pull out is to give our enemies in the middle east a very convenient timetable and to kill any chance at all for compromise. Not that you can expect compromise from zealots, but, it’s still nice to dream.
I hear people say that this rolling cluster fuck is nothing like Vietnam, but both were started by lies, (Google for the Gulf of Tonkin), neither could be won because of the nature of the enemy and the unrealistic ideas of the idiots running the war, and finally, we are about to say that the losers we put in power can now handle the situation and run like hell for home.
Good men and women have been killed and maimed for nothing.
It’s a soldiers job to die for his country, but where is it written that they should die for Haliburton?
