Far more non-sucker Dems than Reps.
Iraq War Resolution Act.
House against - 126 Dems, 6 Reps.
Senate against - 21 Dems, 1 Rep.

That is about the same as the vote on Afghanistan and a Libya vote
would not come out that well.

BTW you didn't say how many voted FOR.

But enough total suckers to carry the bill in a Rep Congress.
Too many suckers.
Here's one guy who wasn't buying it.

Hey, why is Greg talking about Iraq?
I thought this was about Afghanistan.

I am trying to talk about Libya but Plume can let Iraq go.
Every time I say anything she responds with Iraq.


What point are you trying to make about Libya? Are you contemplating
that Obama is going to try to order in significant numbers of ground
troups? I don't see that happening.

Some wag suggested we arm both sides in these fundamentalist, backwards
countries to the teeth, let them fight it out, and then shoot all the
members of whichever side emerges, and then shoot whoever wants to take
over until there is no one left who wants to rule. At that point,
sometime in the future, it is possible a reasonable form of democracy
might arise.

That's a *bit* too cynical for me.

Well, according to the right Obama dithered and did nothing, and now
he's a war-monger. Did they flip before they flopped?

I just want to hear our exit strategy. It really does not look like
air power is going to displace Qdaffy and we will soon find ourselves
in a similar position to what we were in with Iraq.

If you listened to any news outlet (no Fox doesn't count), you'd know
that we'll be handing off more of the air bombing to others.

I still remember the early talk about the NFZ there when it was
"humanitarian" to save the Kurds with the bonus that they would topple
Saddam if we could just give them a chance.

I don't think Obama would go in but who knows what the next yahoo
might do if he has it all teed up.

I agree. Let's try and keep Jeb out of the White House.

The GOP is going to have to push the teahadist nutcases, birthers, women
haters and Latino haters out the door before it attracts many reasonable
national candidates. Even Romney, who is at least mostly rationale, is
kissing the ass of the nutcases.

When we have Democrats like Clinton and Obama, who needs republicans?
When they come in, they keep all the same people the GOP had.

Vote for Nader or Paul then. See if that makes a difference.


They have become redundant. That is why they were taken over by
religious fundamentalists.

Obama has? Really? That's a new one.

I am not sure who I will vote for. Obama is not standing out as being
much more than the 5th Bush brother.

Feel free to vote for Palin.
