Move On: Cooking the books for the White House.
General Petreaus will not admit what everyone else knows: Iraq is mired in an unwinnable religious civil war.
McCain: He's served his country with honor and distinction and if we have to sink to that level to besmirch the honor of a fair an fine individual. I lament the level of dialogue. I hope that my democrat friends will not be guided by moveon.org.
Steph: They say many of them have taken to calling this the Bush Report and that it may have undue White House Influence.Mac: I know this man, he’s not going to allow politicization of the dedication and service that not only he is providing, but the brave young men and women under his command. This may be an indication of the level of discussion in this country, when the leader of the senate says "the war is lost", when a congressman from South Carolina says it would "hurt the democrat plans" if we succeed, Sen. Schumer says "we’re going to pick up seats" as a result of this war. What they fail to understand is that that Presidents don’t lose war snd political parties don’t lose wars – nations lose wars. When nations lose wars the nation suffers the consequences.
If we start disparaging the men and women who are serving in uniform and their honor, then I think we’ve reached a sad place in American politics.
What do you mean "reached"?
McCain laments the "level of the dialogue" of Democrats (for simply pointing out that Patreaus has already shown himself to be a liar fact fudger by the GAO, the Congressional Research Service and other experts) after the Bush campaign alleged that his experience as a P.O.W. in Vietnam had "made him crazy", and that he had an illegitimate black child?
Are you serious?
He laments this after Jean Schmidt called a decorated Marinelike John Murtha "a coward."
He laments this when people like Melanie Morgan - who somehow rates a private visit to the White House - can go around saying that Captain Jon Soltz should be "crushed like a cockroach?"
He thinks things have started getting "nasty" when Democrats point out that Patreaus numbers simply don't add up?
Really now?
I mean, don't we all understand that Democrats are allied with Al-Qeada, didn't Osama Bin Laden just say so? (PDF of Latest Bin Laden Tape)
Not to Kerry.
Kerry: Osama Bin Laden's tape is testimony to one thing, the failure of this Administration to capture and kill him. The failure at Tora Bora and the failure subsequently. He’s influencing the region. He’s still directing attacks against America from Afghanistan and Pakistan – and we have some Republican candidates for President that think he’s insignificant? That should be disqualify them from being President in the first place. This is an insult to everybody in the world that this man is still sending us tapes.
