More hapless Libs speaking out of their ass

Interesting..... the DLC traitors seem to be slowly backing away. Or do they just want it to appear that way?

The Democrats don't have any plan. Well, actually they do, but they were holding off until after Thanksgiving recess to announce it. It was so important, they put it off for later.

The only misleading being done in Washington is by the Democrats and that IDIOT Howard Dean. It's the old game of misinformation. If you state it as truth long enough, it will eventually be perceived that way. Josef Goebbels of the Nazi regime in WWII was the KING of it.. The Democratic party has co-opted it, although they keep stepping on their own dicks.. Oh, in Hillary's case, her tits... God that woman is homely.

Blueturk has a quote for you...

Idea of the Week: What To Do Now In Iraq

the Bush Administration has committed a long series of mistakes in the aftermath of the removal of Saddam Hussein,


Here are three ways the U.S. can do exactly that:

First, we should formally disclaim any interest in permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq; clearly shift the primary responsibility of defending the country to the Iraqi military (with embedded Coalition troops), and adopt a joint military strategy based on proven principles of counterinsurgency. The last point means abandoning Vietnam-style "search and destroy" missions against the insurgency, and instead focusing on progressively securing territory where reconstruction can proceed and normal civic life can resume.

Second, we should launch a new political strategy aimed relentlessly at winning Sunni support for the new government, and at isolating jihadists. We still have considerable leverage among Shi'a and Kurdish leaders; we should use it to push for confidence -- building measures like the integration of communal militias into the Iraqi army and police forces; a blanket amnesty for former Baathists not implicated in atrocities; and for intensified talks with Sunnis on supplemental protocols to the proposed constitution that would ensure a viable central government and minority rights.

Third, we should muster all our diplomatic resources to create a more supportive international environment for the new Iraqi government. It should not be that hard to establish a UN-authorized international contact group to coordinate political support and economic assistance.

We should cash our sizable chits with Saudi Arabia and Egypt to work directly with Iraqi Sunni Arabs, using economic incentives where possible, to undermine support for insurgency and encourage political engagement. These Arab states should also push Syria (in conjunction with potential U.N. sanctions) to finally close off travel routes into Iraq for jihadists.

Those are some excellent suggestions. But the fucking chimp doesn't do anything except try to make us forget about Iraq! God damn it our leadership is worthless!
