Are you on dope, IMC?

You're not implying that Republicans never do this are you? Because it will be easy to compile a whole list of bills with Republican sponsored pork added to them and another list of Republicans calling Democrats obstructionists. This isn't a Democratic trick, this is a Washington trick. Both parties do it and they do it often. You don't really want to go there.

I'm going to need some proof of this. I'm sure that if it happened, as you claim it has, that there is a youtube video or a news account of this someplace. Otherwise, I'm going to have to call BS on this one. (Of course your oil claims are just as bogus, but that's a whole other post.)

Are you implying that the Bush administration used our troops as bait? I don't know about you, but I'm not real keen on the idea of putting America's sons and daughters out there as bait for the terrorists. When I go fishing I expect to lose bait. I want the fish to eat my bait. I'm not too worried about whether or not my bait lives or not. I'd be pretty surprised if that's the role Americans want their sons and daughters to be playing.

Ummm... you might want to check the news today:

"As Gates arrived in Iraq, three bombings -- two in Baghdad and one in Diyala province's Balad Ruz -- provided a rude counterpoint to that message.

Two car bombs went off in central Baghdad. The blasts killed 12 people and wounded 36 in the commercial area of the Karrada district, an Interior Ministry official said. The U.S. blamed al Qaeda in Iraq, but gave a lower death toll, saying two "possible" car bombs killed six people and wounded 27.

In Balad Ruz, a female suicide bomber detonated explosives at the house of a former U.S. detainee, killing at least 22 people and wounding 33, according to a Diyala security official.

The U.S. military also blamed al Qaeda in Iraq for a car bombing Friday in Dujail, north of Baghdad. The Interior Ministry said at least 30 people were killed and 45 wounded; the U.S. said 31 were killed and 40 were wounded."

Gosh, haysus...all of that and you only found one female suicide bomber...which was IMC's point.

Where there used to be many...they are quite infrequent now. But in that country...they will always exist. Just not like they have.

I know...I know....that's nota positive in your commie liberal view. Surely cannot be considered good, can it?

...."surge worked beyond our wildest dreams...." -The new messiah.

Ain't no spin to it, davieboy...the liberal congress approves all spending. You'll learn that in your remedial class here eventually.

You can complain all you want about republicans...but nearly two years into it...you complain about what's happening, and its democrats doing it...only you have no shame or blame for them.

Just more of your second face showing...

Spending requests come in from anyone...liberal congress approves it. Even you can't squirm out of this one, davieboy.

Some people just refuse to face facts. Do you know why you seldom hear anything about Iraq from the MSM these days? It's because there are seldom anymore suicide bombings happening now. Sorry Democrats but Iraq is no longer your road to the Whitehouse this election. If there is bad news to report from Iraq it is now treated as the main news of the day but they never report the good things taking place over there on a daily basis. The things that Americans really want to hear are the good things we're doing but it doesn't fit the liberal medias agenda so it is not reported. They don't want us to think that our troops are anything but murderous thugs. It's pathetic!  

Brain Williams did say that and I don't care if it made a youtube video or not, I watched it myself on NBC the night he said it. Youtube isn't exactly the Encyclopedia Britannica you know.

And of course the Republicans add their share of pork to bills but John McCain fights against those bills until the pork is removed. And that is why he didn't vote for those military appropriation bills. Obama on the other hand, has never seen a pork filled bill he didn't like.
