5. Emanuel actually pissed me off--big time.
That litany of all they "accepted" without too many whimpers and a whole of flagwaving and trying to be more patriotic than each other to get into this mess just pissed me off royally.

3. They are EARLY, EARLY, EARLY today! Poor little repukes are probably crying in their coffee cups
because they had to work so hard this week.:cry:

I wonder if the Democratic BIG GUNS will speak today? Conyers, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Jim McDermott, Barnie Frank, George Miller, Charlie Rangel, John Lewis (speaking NOW!), Nancy Pelsoi, Steny Hoyer, ect...?

I heard 30-40 Repukes will vote for this resolution. That should royally piss off the WH.:7

7. They begged for and got
an extension of time for debate only to begin dragging out the same tired old men to try to stretch this out into the weekend to avoid the 6 PM news cycle.

The dems are countering with extended hours last night and an early start today.

4. Do the pukes actually think that americans are buying their rewritting of history or facts?
First puke, we sent the troops in with better equipement then the army has ever had in the history of the US. He left out the fact that it was reported that Humvees lacked armour, he left out the fact that troops weren't sent in with body armour. Second puke to speak more Rewritting of history, 1/3 of the colonies didn't support the war with england, America didn't declare war on Hitler ( half truth as america did declare war on Japan and Hitler then declared war on the US but hey its a puke speaking , America didn't cut and run obn the dough boy's, though a puke prezinut did send the guard in to destroy tent city that dough boys set up to protest they didn't recieve the benefits promised to them. Facts just seem to be beyond the pukes mind set and get in the way of their agendas.

11. and let's not forget about the OIL!
I can't believe the CONS deny this with a straight face. That the real reason we went there was for the oil, not Democracy. What a pile of horseshit and lies! :grr:

19. It's an open question
whether "getting" the oil was the reason. Certainly it is a factor. The other oil related factor which cannot be ignored is that if Saddam had gotten out from under the sanctions he would have turned the spigots wide open driving down the price of a barrel of oil.

So here are two oil motives, capture a supply while propping up the market price to the benefit of the Saudis.
