Keith's comment last night - a MUST see!!
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/052407A.shtml

Any other president from any other moment in the panorama of our history would have, at the outset of this tawdry game of political chicken, declared that no matter what the other political side did, he would insure personally - first, last and always - that the troops would not suffer.

A President, Mr. Bush, uses the carte blanche he has already, not to manipulate an overlap of arriving and departing Brigades into a ‘second surge,- but to say in unequivocal terms that if it takes every last dime of the monies already allocated, if it takes reneging on government contracts with Halliburton, he will make sure the troops are safe - even if the only safety to be found, is in getting them the hell out of there.

Well, any true President would have done that, Sir.

You instead, used our troops as political pawns, then blamed the Democrats when you did so.

1. I am forwarding this....
to everyone in my address book, Democratic and Republican.

I think this will become an historic comment. And it should.

2. We can always rely on KO to shout it out; he did a great and necessary
job of it last night. I dearly wish the Dems were listening...
