Treasonrats Jumping The Gun
House Democrats are already dismissing the Petraeus findings -- which are not due for another five days.
Chuck Schumer, “This is a policy of last resort! This is a policy of desperation!” Working hard on his attempt to rewrite recent history, Schumer continued his diatribe with: “And let me be clear: the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge!” Then, in a decidedly mean-spirited, patently lying attack against our own soldiers, Schumer continued his invective with: “The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, ‘We have to fight al-Qaeda ourselves’. It wasn’t that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords had to create a temporary peace here on their own. And that is because there was no one else there [US soldiers] protecting them!”
Congressional Democrats are trying to undermine U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus' credibility before he delivers a report on the Iraq war next week, saying the general is a mouthpiece for President Bush and his findings can't be trusted.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pointedly referring to the Petraeus testimony as "the Bush report presented by General Petraeus," as opposed to an independent assessment by the top military man in Iraq that has been billed for months now. "Progress is not being made," Pelosi insisted in a Capitol presser this afternoon, no matter how some people might want to "cherry pick" stories of success. "The plural of anecdotes is not data," she added. "We will see what the Bush report will be at the end of next week," Mrs. Pelosi said. "The facts are self-evident that the progress is not being made. They might want to find one or two places where there has been progress but the plural of anecdote is not data."
The Bush report?" Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin said when asked about the upcoming report from Gen. Petraeus, U.S. commander in Iraq. "We know what is going to be in it. It's clear. I think the president's trip over to Iraq makes it very obvious," the Illinois Democrat said. "I expect the Bush report to say, 'The surge is working. Let's have more of the same.' "
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California — also referred to the general's briefing as the "Bush report."
Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Gen. Petraeus' report was potentially compromised by the White House's involvement in drafting it. "If the same people who were so wrong about this war from the start are writing substantial portions of this report, that raises credibility questions," he said.
Democrats said they put more faith in a report Tuesday by the Government Accountability Office that showed Iraq failed to meet 11 of 18 political and security benchmarks set by Congress.They also favored an analysis due today by Gen. James L. Jones, former U.S. commander in Europe, that is expected to say security gains have been "uneven" and Iraqi security forces are ill-prepared to stand alone, according to a CNN report.
.
And this from those that respect our military and the awesome work our troops have been doing and accompolishing.
"Are these leaders asking the American people to believe that the testimony of a commanding four-star general in the U.S. Army should be discarded before it's even delivered?" said Brian Kennedy, spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican. "If so, these statements completely ignore what's truly at stake in this war and suggest that neither the commander in chief nor our chief commander on the ground have any regard for the lives of the men and women fighting for this country," he said. "It's appallng, and I think the American people — rightfully — will continue to stick by the decisions of our commanders and troops on the ground when it comes to what is best for their safety and security."

... if the islamomaniacs actually took over this great country, these treasonous DNC traitors would be the first ones to feel the sword! Then the Hollyweirdos would be next, eh?

Again, it's not the report--it's Bush. They are so full of hate of him and this country, that they'll do anything to push her down, make her people the worst on the planet and some of our fine citizens believe them!
Do they really think that if we lose the war that the terrorists won't follow us home? That they'll let us live? If you do, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Hmmmm, I thought the Chain of Command went like this:
President
Sec Def
Generals
The report is ultimately the Presidents report because he's the Commander-in-Chief, not General Patraeus.
The Democrats in Congress approve sending the General over to do a job and then call him a lier before he even reports back to them on how the job is going. The Democrats here remind me of the Democrats in the movie "The Tuskegee Airman" when the give Col Benjamin Davis a job of equip a Black Fighter Squadron and then hold back the recourses he needs to do the job and then criticize him because of problems.

These three diminutive screwballs didn't ascend to power; they were an accident of history. No party, even the slipping Democrat Party, can intentionally elevate the collected IQ of 12 shown in this picture, and not suffer some consequences.
Schumer is the only genuine villain in the bunch. Reid is simply a small-minded outhouse shoveller who found his way into politics, Durbin is a grovelling di**weed bought and paid for by the lefties in his district, but Schumer is an amoral, lying slimebag. Spend any time at all in Manhattan and you know why Schumer is in the Senate.

If every aspect of the war in Iraq was exactly as it is now, but with a Democrap president, these people would be praising the success of the war.
You have to remember their support of our efforts in Bosnia(which according to Pres Clinton were only going to last a year). Bosnia was a war we really had no reason to be involved in. Once our troops were involved in Bosnia though, the Republicans put aside their opposition and fully supported the military operations. The repubs knew we were already committed and the lives of American troops depended on the full support of the Congress.
These democraps have no such morals. or any morals. For purely partisan political reasons they will jeopardise the mission and endanger the troops. Treasonous and self-serving bastards they are!

Can anyone tell me WHY all those democrats looked like they are always constipated or some other bowel disorder.
Maybe a box of X-lax would put smile on all of their faces. We already know what they are full of.
Or maybe they are just Anal-retentive, I mean look at the picture above of the Muzzies trying to do whatever they are doing.

Darth that is what amazes me, the fact that they do not get it at all. The terrorists would behead them just as much as they would any of us if they had a chance. How stupid or self involved is that not to realize it.

Lynn your right.
The Dems are experts at using key words to push their propaganda. Key words here like you said are Bush report instead of Gen. Petraeus' report.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 8, 2007 06:11 PM
Bob thank you so much, that is so true and they sure as heck are calling the Gen. a liar. This is so terrible what they are doing.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 8, 2007 06:13 PM
Rhod that is a great run down on them, thank you. You are so right, I think they will suffer some consequences.

Tom exactly, I hated that we were in Bosnia helping the Muslims back then. But instead of protesting the war I was sending care packages to the troops, including crayons and things for them to give the children.
