When does the funding end?
Doesn't Bush need a new spending bill soon?

The Democrats have a choice to make. After this disgusting speech, they can either enable this war criminal once again, or they can send him an immediate withdrawal bill.

That is, of course, if they choose not to impeach him, of which the excuses have officially dried up.

What do you say, Ms. Pelosi? The ball is in your court.

2. He will get the Money.
Edited on Thu Sep-13-07 09:45 PM by OHdem10
He has to be sure the cash is there to psy the Shieks
so they can take care of their people. Reporters from
their explain this is how things are done. The Shieks
keep their people happy on Middlc Class Americans's
Tax Money. What do think would happen if there were
no money???

GWB was honest enough to say the War is not going to end
He constantly referred to Iraq as our ally. He said
he is establishing a strategic(enduring) permanent
relationship with Iraq. Compact much like Korea, Egypt,
Israel. How much money do we send them each year???
Iraq is our permanent ally in ME. I have not seen
many people comment on this.l

This is huge. No one talks about it.

3. Silly Rabbit
Iraq has more or less been officially dedicated by Bush as our 51st state, so the funding CAN'T end now (or ever)! Methinks that this speech tonight was intended to quash once and for all (at least during the remainder of his Presidency) the notion of withdrawing/redeploying most of our troops from Iraq and, consequently, further debates about funding the occupation. Whether or not he will be successful in selling his new vision for our involvement in Iraq to the general public at large remains to be sign but I doubt that he will win many converts and I wouldn't be surprised if even some of the supporters of this endeavor and particularly those serving in the military or have loved ones in the military might feel a bit cheated knowing that what was initially "sold" as a "cakewalk" would result in an "enduring relationship" with Iraq.

4. The candidates enabled bush to start it and continued to fund it....
for political reasons. They didn't want to look bad or lose some political ground. Why should we trust a candidate that has played political games with peoples lives the opportunity to be president and continue to play politics with the issue? Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY candidate that hasn't played the political games from the beginning and he is the only candidate I trust that would not play political games again as president. This is huge, what if the new president decides they don't want Iraq to get worse and be a part of their presidency, then what? More political maneuvering? I trust the one candidate that has been straightforward the whole time. Dennis Kucinich!
