1. Cobra Ann Coulter calls Voinovich a "cry baby."

:eyes: Gawd I wish someone would drop her into the center of an Afghan tribal village. :puke:

3. did you see, "Never Say Never Again"?

Remember what the villian tried to do to Kim Basinger's character?

:hi:

[TahitiNut]

14. Domino?

Nope... not offhand. I remember the character, Domino, and Max van Sydow as Blofeld and Klaus Bradauer as Largo, but it's been too long since I've seen it to know what you're referring to.

12. Wouldn't that violate the Geneva Conventions?

That must be covered under some weapons ban somewhere.

[TahitiNut]

16. Well .... she probably does qualify as toxic waste.

5. Voinivich is a pretty moderate Republican....

He was the mayor of Cleveland,OH which is a pretty liberal part of Ohio (see Dennis Kucinich) so I actually am kind of surprised it took him THIS long to say this.:eyes:

6. Right on!

Is the dam finally cracking?

Another GOP senator urges pullout

WASHINGTON — Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday the U.S. should begin pulling troops out of Iraq, joining Richard Lugar as the second Republican lawmaker in as many days to suggest President Bush's war strategy is failing.

He said the Iraqi people must become more involved and "I don't think they'll get it until they know we're leaving."

The Ohio senator's remarks followed similar comments by Lugar, R-Ind., the previous night. The two GOP senators previously had expressed concerns about Bush's decision to send 30,000 extra troops to Iraq in a massive U.S.-led security push in Baghdad and Anbar province. But they had stopped short of saying U.S. troops should leave and declined to back Democratic legislation setting a deadline for troop withdrawals.

"We must not abandon our mission, but we must begin a transition where the Iraqi government and its neighbors play a larger role in stabilizing Iraq," Voinovich wrote in a letter to Bush.

Lugar and Voinovich said they were still not ready to insist on a timetable for withdrawal. But they both made it clear their patience was gone.

Once Iraq's neighbors "know we are genuinely leaving, I think all of a sudden the fear of God will descend upon them and say, 'We've got to get involved in this thing,'" Voinovich told reporters.

10. Hagel. Collins. Lugar. Voinovich. Warner's half in. Sununu will be next.

They're leaking. But watch for it. They're also looking to give Bush breathing room to "get it right" before the next election.

They must be held to account for the three years when they did zero oversight for this flawed and deadly negligence of duty.

Bush cut back in the war against al-Qaeda. Bush lost the war against Iraqi insurgents after the Army and Marines won all the battles. Bush gave us Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, Fallujah, the renaissance of al-Qaeda, illegal wire taps, no bid contracts, billions in stolen money, alliances with totalitarians, and all but recruited the monsters of London and Madrid.

Job one remains: hang everything that he's done around his and the Republicans' necks.

15. I've heard Tom Coburn isn't far behind - nt

13. Meanwhile the next war is possibly brewing

When you get a chance, please visit this poll that I have up in the General Discussion Politics Forum.

The question being polled is as black and white clear cut as I could think of to write it.

It is: "Under Absolutely No Circumstances Can the U.S. Allow Iran to Acquire Nuclear Weapons"

Do you agree, Yes or No?
