The permanent occupation of Iraq, thats what the GOP and Rick are hungry for. Sacrifice some more american boys for a lost cause. Bush and that idiot Rumsfield lost this war. No post-war planning,none. Bush should be impeached for that. Rick and the braindead gop can’t admit defeat, so we stay so some more americans die from roadside bombs. Let this ole Wisconsin boy explain this to you one more time Rick, we could stay for 100 years, the Sunni insurgency and Sadr militia will fight us for 100 years, are you with me so far? Its their country, not ours, they’ve repelled invaders for thousands of years. They will just wait us out. But no, we can’t surrender, what a bs storyline that is, like our troops will lay down their weapons and march into their prison camps, what a crock. We broke that country just like Powell said and now the neo-cons can’t fess up that a ragtag insurgency just won’t go away. Guess what Rick, most of the police and Iraq army are loyal to their militias, not Maliki. So we’ve trained and ARMED all these people who aren’t loyal to us or their government, but we should stay, wow, theres some twisted logic. The Saudi’s continue to finance the Sunni insurgency because they don’t want their Sunni brethren to be cleansed by US and Iraqi army types. Oh, and we buy billions of Saudi oil, so by proxy, were supporting the Sunni insurgency.Eventually even braindead americans will see the futility of a no-win situation and get out. But more Americans will die in the meantime because of cheerleaders like you who are too proud to admit failure. Billions wasted, thousands of deaths wasted, but big he-men like you praise the conflict, as long as your not the one doing the fighting. The army’s broken, warmongers like you are to blame, lets surge some more troops into hell, we’ll show those terrorists who’s boss. Bin Laden wants us to stay, thats why he taunts us, we’ve learned nothing in 4 years, we just keep dying.

(The) Demsâ€™ seem to have decided that their Slow Bleed strategy (v.018) wonâ€™t actually have a chance of passing on its own merits, and so they need to play Letâ€™s Make A Deal. In other words: find a bunch of morally confused Congresscritters who think their districts absolutely must have some nice juicy pork projects, and bring â€˜em the bacon, baby!

“Coalition of the Coerced and the Bribed,” anyone?

Much easier to throw rocks than to try and get something done. I am beginning to like this.

The Defeato-crats are so invested in defeat they cannot have the surge succeed. It must be like the walls are closing in on them. Gen. Petraeus looks like he has the right stuff.

I would veto this bill in a heart beat and make a speech about budgetary discipline on the flip side. Perfect positioning for Bush. This pork-a-saurous doesn’t deserve to see the light of day.

So the Republicans are voting against funding our troops? Right? Glad you were straight on that.

How is getting our troops out from the middle of a civil war “surrendering”? To whom would we be “surrendering”, besides the will of the American people?

Our presence there has nothing to do with “terra”. We are there to control the oil. Read the PNAC from 1998. The Bush Crime Family has fooled you. They have no intention of EVER leaving. Note the permenant bases and the world’s largest embassy. You have been made a FOOL.

[...] The Democrat House “Leadership” has lost control of its members as the Democrats splinter over a bill that, at its essence, fully funds the Iraq war. The far left liberals are fed up with platitudes and excuses and I seriously doubt they plan to support any more facade votes on Bills that do exactly opposite of what they want. And this can be seen as many liberals in the House leadership come out opposing the Bill slated for tomorrow’s vote (H/T Rick Moran): One of the Democrats’ chief designated vote counters, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), is actively working against the Iraq war spending bill. The leadership’s senior chief deputy whip, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), spoke passionately against it on the House floor. And one of the whip organization’s regional representatives, Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), is implacably opposed. [...]

“Immediate and unconditional surrender.”

uhh…forgive me for stating the obvious, but ending an occupation is not, and never will be “surrender”.

Retreat does not equal surrender, and it never will.

Though I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by hyperbole at a place that calls itself a “nuthouse”.
