[elehhhhna]

Time to storm the White House. Now.

no link yet--breaking on TV now

[acmavm]

1. Are Jenna and Barbie suiting up?

[elehhhhna]

6. They are in hiding in South America.

[SpiralHawk]

7. Yes, they have put in an emergency call to Christian Dior

to ensure they will have the hottest fashions for the Xmas season.

[CatWoman]

2. can someone PLEASE put that idiot in a strait jacket

and haul him off to his padded cell?

[Doctor_J]

3. Stop watching Fox

most of us don't give a damn what they say

[tridim]

10. But lots of us appreciate it too

Because regardless of the bullshit source it's deadly important news, especially since the WH has a direct line to Faux headquarters.

[Selatius]

4. 1966, Johnson continues to escalate troop numbers in South Viêtnam

2006, Meet your new boss, same as the old boss.

[slackmaster]

9. Crap, you're right

Bad, bad memory.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Johnson was smarter in the way he worked it.

I remember "leaks" about sending 100,000 more troops which raised all kinds of hell. Then the bastard got on TV and announced that the "rumors" were absurd...that he was sending "only" 50,000. Then everyone breathed a big sigh of relief and he was a hero for being so "moderate".

It will be interesting to see if Bush plays the same game.

[leftchick]

33. that was then

this is now. There is NO WAY politically he or the repukes could survive sending in more troops.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

36. Don't count on it.

It will be advertised as a "temporary measure" made at the "request" of the brilliant generals and the "Democratic" government of Iraq to "stabilize" the situation only until the "American Trained Iraqi Armed Forces" can "preserve the democratic government" of Iraq.

Of course the "temporary" measure will not have (God forbid) any sort of time limit on it, and will have to be funded to "support our troops" until the "mission is accomplished"..oh, wait, "until stability is achieved".

[twilight_sailing]

34. It's like watching a movie

and suddenly realizing you have seen it before.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

5. Impeach, Impeach, Impeach

Impeach eom

[demnan]

8. Time to take to the streets

People in this country want peace, by God we're going to have it.

[lancdem]

11. Bush and John McCain

Two very insane men.

[Blackhatjack]

12. No Surprise there --- He Will Keep The Plate Spinning As Long As We Let Him

He will never change course, because that would mean he was wrong --and to this day he cannot think of any mistake he has ever made.

I predict a train wreck is coming. He is going to increase troops in Iraq rather than draw them down.

[ponthedge]

16. Draft Possible?

Well..is it?

Rangel thinks so...does anyone know if he still thinks this way?

<http://apnews.myway.com/article/20061120/D8LGK3D00.html>

I am starting to feel like a big freaking patsy. No matter who is in control, we, the people, still get our guts splattered on foreign soil...:banghead:

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. FUCK THAT!

NO GOD DAMNED DRAFT! :grr: This is pure bullshit! Impeach the war mongers bu$h/cheney, NOW!

[soleft]

13. McCain's gotta be pissed

This will ruin his chance to say "But you didn't listen to me and send more troops!"

[lisa58]

21. I was thinking the same thing...

...is this intended to help McCain or hurt him?

[grytpype]

32. Yep, we are gonna see the McCain Victory Plan fail right before our eyes.

Only he is going to say, "Did I say 20,000, I meant 500,000."

[BenDavid]

44. It was McCain that has said that more

troops are needed in Iraq.Senator John McCain very clearly stated that if additional troops aren't sent into Iraq, the war will be unwinnable, and if that becomes the case, McCain said, he "cannot" ask soldiers to return to Iraq. This would be "immoral,".
If no troops are sent, then the Dems should raise the question, Is McCain going to stop supporting the troop presence in Iraq and call for withdrawal, which he said it would be immoral to ask troops to return to Iraq?
If after an increase in troops sent from America and not in country and sent to the green zone and the violence continues and soldiers continue to die, How can MCCain say this was his idea and it worked once the U.S. begins leaving?

[AndyA]

14. Message to the Dems regarding Bush wanting more troops in Iraq:

JUST

SAY

NO!!!

[Lex]

15. WOW--the political fall out from this decision should be interesting.

Seems in direct contradiction to the message the American people sent at November's election. imho.

I think he is going to completely destroy the Republican party.

[Botany]

17. I.S.G. report:

Had something in it like when we increased the # of troops in Baghdad under
"Operation, Together Forward," the violence we were trying to suppress
increased by 43%.

Bush, "I read it." ..... talking about the I.S.G. report.

[iconoclastic cat]

19. Keep us posted when an article appears

This is just unbelievable.

[zulchzulu]

20. Let's draft sons and daughters of Repigs who saw Bush events in 2004

There's got to be a list somewhere. Let's find it and ensure Bush that he has his followers all ready and waiting to join in the Iraqi fun!

[wicket]

23. Amen!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[WernhamHogg]

39. College Republicans!

I think it's WELL past time for a draft of College Republicans! College Repukes: do your duty and go "fight them over there"! The "strange" thing is, all the young Repukes I talk to seem to have some sort of mystery "medical issue" which prevents them from signing up... :shrug:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. Brilliant!! When the house is on fire throw on more kerosene.

At all costs Cover Your Ass. Too bad about the collateral damage and the GI's nominated to give the "ultimate sacrifice" so Bush and the generals can look tough.

[izzie]

24. Will not be a shock. Guys Presidents have played this before?

He has 2 years to take over the country and make it in his images and I am sure he will try. Both the Us and Iraq. Congress is not going to take its real job back like war and trade. And most voters do not care. We need a arm of the Dem. party to be called 'we want our constitution back'party.

[Hippo_Tron]

25. Time for Democrats to take a stand

Despite the fact that this war should never have happened in the first place, as a practical matter the time for more troops was 3
years ago, not now.

Congress needs to make it abundantly clear that they don't support sending more troops and that they will stop it because they will not fund such a request.

[PRETZEL]

26. trial balloon,

what better way to see how the base feels than to put a rumor out on Fox.

I'm reading the headline and "leaning" is what hits me right off the bat.

[Hubert Flottz]

27. Bush's idea of a gift for the troops!

More Combat!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

28. And the Faux anchors are now enlisting?

Where do they think they are going to get the people to send in?

[BluePatriot]

29. I hope they are just pulling a FOX

"breaking news that doesn't exist" sort of thing. Please let us know if an article pops up.

[MadHound]

30. Again, the people have spoken, and if the Bushboy won't listen,

It is up to that fine Democratic majority that we just elected to step up and put an end to this madness. NO MORE FUNDING, PERIOD! Force the bastard to bring our troops home by any means necessary. And frankly, if Hillary, Kerry, Lieberman or any others are unwilling to do this, then we have to make them aware that they will be kicked to the curb to come their next election. The American people spoke loudly on election day, no more war. If Bush boy refuses to comply, we have to cut him off at the knees. If Democrats refuse to comply, them we have to cut them down too. This is our country, our government, and if our represenatives refuse to follow our direction, then we have to put in somebody who will.

[grytpype]

31. .

Great idea, George!

[Bigmack]

35. Your pic reminds me of...

one of the differences between LBJ and Dumbya.

LBJ may have sent me and hundreds of thousands of others to the Southeast Asian War Games, but sometimes it actually bothered him.

Apparently, he sometimes stayed up late to get the casualty reports.

He knew he was doing wrong, but didn't know how to get out of it...."I knew that if I left my one true love... the Great Society... to go with that Bitch of a war, I would lose everything...."

Dumbya never had a thought about casualties and sure as hell never doubted his own stupid strategery.

[Disturbed]

37. The Plan is to bring in Troops from other parts of Iraq

into the Sunni Triangle. As many as 20K will be sent in to gain control over the territory. The Busholini Regime will not give up this territory without an all out fight. Fiasco is an understatement!

[Roland99]

38. Damnit, Pelosi! IMPEACH THE FUCKERS NOW! *ALL* OF THEM!!!!

:evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad:
:evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad:


The President is a CRIMINAL!

He's continuing to endanger American lives while wasting American taxpayer dollars to chase down a destroyed ideology!!

Poppy gave him a chance to withdraw from Iraq under political cover. Baker was sent to save the Fortunate Frat-Boy's ass but the Frat-Boy is TOO FUCKING STUPID to realize it!

He's throwing a goddamn tantrum and taking down American men and women (and countless Iraqis) in the process!

I M P E A C H ! ! ! !

[Cleita]

40. Jeeze! What a clueless boob. It's like he's on self-destruct

and plans on taking us with him.

[AngryOldDem]

42. What was it Einstein said about insanity?

This ass in the WH is walking, talking proof.

Impeach. Now.

[Neecy]

43. it's not just been floated on FOX...

Yesterday I heard a GOP shill speculate on CNN that chimpy would increase troop levels in Iraq...yes, this is his thoughtful "plan"...I believe the reason for the delay in announcing it is that the White House is trying to figure out how to sell this evil scheme to the American public. They're floating it now to see if the public, numbed by the Christmas hoopla and intent on landing a PlayStation 3, even gives a shit.
