You HAD Republicans, giving the terrorists exactly what they wanted - an unwinnable war in Iraq that would drain American resolve and resources. You HAD endless political posturing while the people's business went untouched and ignored.

Now I'm not saying the Dem's are any better .. to me they're about the same .. but Rants like this are EXACTLY what is wrong with America: "My party's better because I said so."

Speaking of an unwinnable war in Iraq - the Shi'ites have won ... not America, not the Terrorists .. the Shi'ites.

Second place goes to the Terrorists .. who have one again proved the American Military Might is all Shock and Awe Bluster with no thought or staying power.

American is last ... actually the Democratic Party is specifically last, because the R's will claim it's all the D's fault .. the R's did their damnest to support the American Military and win this thing, but the D's forced this tragic loss on American, so "Vote Red".

Mark my words .. NP says Obama is the D's choice, I say the loss of Iraq will for decades be blamed on the D's.

Funny, after six years of republicans running things, and screwing things up, it's all of a sudden the democrats fault.

funny, didn't seem to be any terrorists before Bush got us into this totally unjustified war, now it's the democrats fault.

funny, after six years of the republicans ignoring the people's business, its the democrats fault.

funny, after six years of the republicans lying to the american people, its the democrats fault.

doesn't seem so funny to me at all.

maybe people like you, Jim, need to open your eyes and get your head out of the sand!!

Jim,
The democrats are too busy trying to surrender right now to 'take care of the people's business'. As soon as this is accomplished, we can look forward to the tax increases - aka the people's business.

Mr. Sartwell, why should God help a country that does as America; ignoring the needs of its own to pillage and destroy another? Why should God help a country (USA) that has brought death & destrutction to a country that had not provoked such rage? Why should God help a country (USA) that cannot seem to follow the simpliest instructions; "love one another as I have loved you?"

Seems like a no-brainer to me Mr. Sartwell. The USA is in for a long session in the "woodshed!"

Shalom

"You wanted endless hearings, investigations and political posturing "

The rest of us call that "accountability". Perhaps you should look into it.

Folks, this LTE is indicative of what the GOP has to offer. Finger pointing with no solution and supporting a war we should NEVER have started.
What makes this letter so wonderful, though, is that it is representative of 28% or less of Americans. The "Core of Ignorance" or "Bush's Base" still believe that this President is "For the troops" and that everyone else is "Against the troops"!
Bush vetoes a bill that provides MORE support for the troops because it contained "NON BINDING" benchmarks for getting out of Iraq. Obviously, Bush doesn't support the troops!

God bless Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.

What a stupid LTE.

"funny, didn't seem to be any terrorists before Bush got us into this totally unjustified war"

"God bless Iraq, Iran and Afghastistan"

Huh?

Denzien - You are right, and the reason there are so many hearings and investigations now is because there hasn't been ANY oversight or accountability for six years.

I disagree, last-VOR.

The reason there were not hearings and investigations is the party in charge would have been investigating themselves.

The reason there are now hearings and investigations is pure partisan BS. Pisses me off - too many other things need to be done.

btw .. what's a VOR ??

In pilotspeak, a VOR is a "visual omni range". They are ground based navigation aids that emit radio signals to aircraft. The receiver in the aircraft will pick up the VOR signal (each VOR in a given geographic area has it's own frequency, starting at 108 MHz, right above the FM frequencies) and a needle will tell the pilot if they are heading to or from the VOR or what heading they need to head towards one.

VOR's have been around for decades and are still used but are being replaced by GPS.

Whenever lastVOR posts I think of this.

Don't blame me, I voted for ______________ (the guy that lost but, had he won, every single one of our problems would be solved and we would all be living in a peaceful utopia and defecating dollar bills.)

I ask god to bless those countries that we have ravished.

I don't ask him to bless the USA, simply because we are a country of idiots.

HAHA!

Why would you ask God to bless anyone if you don't believe in God?

Merely trying to annoy?

I guess I didn't read today's paper, didn't know we had ravished (methinks you meant ravaged)Iran. Yeah, Afghanistan was a milk and honey utopia before we got there.

Why are you asking God anything Brian, I thought you were an atheist?

JDR, Dan - Voice of Reason. I'll let you guys be the judge as to whether I qualify as one. Maybe not the last but increasingly rare. Wouldn't you agree?

However, navigatonal aid works, too.

man o' man! talk about defensive democrats.
attached the minimum hike to the war funding bill? and "benchmarks?? heres another clue.

An Oilshed Event in Iraq

Can't very well call this one a watershed event. Make a big check on the Democratic proposed benchmarks for a Maliki scorecard. The oil law has been voted out of the cabinet and will become law at the end of May:

The Iraqi Prime Minister said that the Iraqi Cabinet accepted a draft law which states how Iraq's oil profits will be shared, it will also outline terms of how foreign oil agencies will be able to operate in the country, Iraq Development Program reported.

Under the terms of the new draft law, the Iraqi National Oil Company (INOC) will be independently functional and joined with oil companies around the country.

Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister stated that the oil sector's profits will be put in a central account and distributed according to population and that the draft law will be put into action by the end of this month.
Read the article here. This is very big news - though it does not seem to have hit the MSM yet. Only a few days ago, the Washington Post was criticizing the Maliki government, stating that negotiations over the proposed hydrocarbon law were hopelessly deadlocked. What a difference a week makes. My hat is off to PM Maliki, and my respect for him grows each week. This is a huge political step forward for Iraq - and it will be an equally hard blow to Harry Reid and company.

Update: The Kurds don't like this law as it will greatly centralize the government, but with less then 60 seats in a 275 member parliament, they are not going to be able to win on the vote.

VOR, I don't always agree with you but find you persuasive and civil. I hope you will hang out.

Consider yourself a navigational aid. Just have to let you know it's not the newest navigational aid for us pilots, but still used regularly. However, GPS rules.

Bush now says Iraq's violence like the violence in this country....Whew! Guess things are worse here than I thought. Oh, that's right, McCain said he could walk the streets safely...Mission Accomplished!
