" This votes emboldens the enemy and who doesn't think the terrorists will just follow our troops home?"

GOP minority leader John Boehner

I do! I do! But then I'm not a tool of the imperialistic aspirations of this criminal government.

If ever there was a reason for outlawing the Republican party this ranks up there. Hmmm... since when did the emotional feelings of insurgents really matter in a war of bullets? Do we really care if they are "emboldened?" If we do, hasn't four years of disasterous occupation emboldened them so much they've run out of ways to be "emboldened?"

Then there's the most ridiculous statement of a clearly warmongering insane man. Does anyone really think the Iraqi insurgents will follow our troops home? I can just imagine our nation cowering under their beds as a veritable fleet of small boats loaded with terrorists slowly sails to our naked shores; pausing only once or twice to be torpedoed by our Navy or shot down by our Air Force.

Of course there is the historical perspective. Poor England. Once they pulled out of Yorktown in 1781 our Minutemen followed their troops home. When France left Vietnam they were inundated with Vietnamese knocking down the Eiffel tower and forcing their people to eat Pho Ga. When the Dutch pulled out of Indonesia they were followed home and thrust under the yoke of nutmeg eating terrorists who kill cartoonists. When England quit India their poor citizens were forced to take calls from American morons wondering why their computer just crashed. Ok, sarcasm aside, but did the Vietcong follow our troops home in 1973? No. So you get the point. If we continue this disasterous policy the only Iraqis following our troops home will be tens of thousands of refugees fleeing the most radical extremes we have put in power. On the plus side we Americans might finally enjoy decent pita bread and a good falafal.

This is an illegal war. It was illegal the day it started and each day our troops are occupying Iraq it is a continuing illegal act. Congress shouldn't be debating the surge, it should be debating the war itself. And if the GOP really wants to support the troops it should quit assuming they like being in Iraq and start acknowledging what the troops have known since 2003; they are not wanted there, they are accomplishing nothing there, they shouldn't be there, their presence undermines, not supports, our security and the best way to support them is to redeploy them in a way that actually serves their mission of protecting our nation while respecting the sovereignty of independent nations instead of treating them as recalcitrant vassals of our empire.

You know, the Nazis were treated better by the citizens of the Soviet Union when they invaded then we were by Iraq. Think about it.

The military fears cunning linguists?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist, either.)

That answers the second most pressing question of this decade. Why was Bill Clinton, the best Republican president in decades, impeached? Why did Kenneth Starr end his investigation not by proclaiming how well the system worked, but how so horrible it was Congress needed to eliminate his office to ensure the next president wouldn't face an independent prosecutor. Why so much money was invested in so little.

Bill Clinton wasn't hounded, he was used. He was a big fish chased after solely to let a lot of little fish get through.

Wow! A true kool aid drinking warmonger. He doesn't get that Bush sought this war as little more than corporate takevover with tanks and smart bombs. Lieberman actually thought he was fighting the good fight. And of course, being a Dem he wasn't invited to the secret meetings or given the secret teachings not included in the Book of NeoConomicon, which explained what it was really all about. Lieberman, with a kiss, actually thinks he was given the true secret handshake. Typical Jew.

(yes that was made sarcastically so don't call me anti-semite)

Now he has gone all loose cannon on them and asking America, well not just America but rich people, well not just rich people, but rich donors to the Neoconomicon to actually sacrifice. Well not there children, (how ridiculous that would be, unless you're Jim Webb)but their hard won capital gains, corporate buyouts for incompetence, publicity income for flashing sexual body parts and inheritances. This is clearly treason and obviously Senator Vinegar Joe doesn't support the troops. If I was anyone from Congress I wouldn't stand too close to that traiter lest you be killed by friendly fire.

Still its a great idea and I hope someone, Hillary maybe?, further the proposal days after his assassination as the Memorial Joe Lieberman War Tax. You know, kind of like the Brady Bill, but where the bullet finishes off the brain damage.

Personally I hope he ducks when Talon News commando/prostitute Gannon pulls the trigger
