Anyone else been listening to Biden on CSPAN2 for about the last hour
talk about his bill?

He's not blustering or just shooting off his mouth. He's giving the Senate a chance for a "come to Jesus" moment. Let's see if they get there. I think that argument yesterday didn't get the effect the Rs or the Dems desired. Both sides got slapped publicly and in the press. Now let's get down to talking about ending the war.

6. Joe Biden is NOT a warmonger -
Jeez - his son is going to Iraq after the first of the year.

He wants this war to end. He wants our troops home NOW.

Wrong Joe.

3. Biden just said that he cannot guarantee that his plan will work
and that he welcomes the debate.

Hutchinson and Brownback already were on the floor in support.

Could it be possible that something might get accomplished on Iraq?

4. If they did what Biden suggests, this occupation could end
and BushCo would be out of business. I seriously doubt this will fly.

5. There were some heartfelt speeches from Dems yesterday; the rethugs
are NOT listening, and Warner is just paying lip service to Biden.

stamping Bush are the ones, like Warner, who aren't up for re-election. Maybe it's time to start investigating them for criminal or inappropriate behavior, like bathroom cruising, or carousing with hookers. It's time to remove them before an election. Maybe it's time to get that DC madam and her little black book under indictment. Sure maybe some Dems will be caught, but I'll betcha they are mostly Republican senators in there. It's really time to clean the crooks and liars out of the people's Houses, now, so we can get new blood in there that are willing to attack the huge problem of the war in Iraq, and all the bad things we have done in the Middle East and worldwide at large.

12. Last weekend, I was watching a Biden campaign event on C-span
From Iowa.

Some old man came up to him and told Biden that Grassley was on the Madam's list.
For the first time in his life, Biden didn't know what to say :P

Haven't heard anything else about it.:shrug:
