Senate backs troop withdrawal from Iraq
WASHINGTON (Reuters)
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday endorsed a March 31, 2008, target date for withdrawing American combat troops from Iraq, moving Congress a step closer to a showdown with President George W. Bush over the war.
By a vote of 50-48, the Senate defeated an amendment that would have stricken the withdrawal language from a $121.6 billion bill that mostly would fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A final vote on the bill is expected later this week.
Bush has promised to veto any legislation with dates for withdrawing from Iraq, including a measure passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday.
HERE is the Roll Call so you can see who voted and how
– 46 of 48 professed Pubbies voted for the amendment. Cut-and-Hagel voted against, Enzi didn’t vote.
– Lieberman also voted for the amendment.
– 48 of 50 professed RATs voted against the amendment.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
We must never forget who our enemy is, not only Islam but also the Dems. The Dems want people to forget about not only 9-11 but all the other attacks that the followers of Islam have done. We must not let this happen.
There are 51 Dems and 49 Republicans in the Senate. The vote was 50-48. I guarantee every Dem except Lieberman voted to set the timetable…and Johnson is still out sick…so that means very few Republicans crossed the aisle.
There were two (2) RINOs involved: Hagel and Gordon Smith. Lieberman voted with the ‘pubbies.
The reaction against Hagel and Smith should be swift and terrible.
What in God’s name were they thinking, handing the reins of government over to the Socialists in a time of war? Sheer idiocy!
All the world terrorist organizations and regimes send their great thanks and congratulations for these 50 traitors!
When the President vetoes this treasonous and defeatist bill ( and he said several times he would) he should go on national TV and address the nation on why he is vetoing this bill. He should tell of how those that voted as they did are aiding the enemy and that what they did is an act of treason imo, it is stabbing our troops in the back.
You are right WT about the President vetoing this bill and going on tv to explain his veto. That would be leadership. Five years as governor and six as president and Bush still does not know how to handle the media. At least he probably will veto the bill.
Sadly, Bush is sorely lacking in communicating with America. We don’t know what or why about so many things because he doesn’t think to explain. That was one of Ronald Reagan’s many great traits, finessing the bully media and communicating with the people.
And if you notice, the withdrawal deadline is right before the elections, so the dummycraps can wave their finger in the air and brag about how the republicans failed on terrorism!
The dummycraps know exactly what they’re doing–they had that power for over 40 years and when we took it from them, they got all pissy and decided that they would stop at nothing to get that power back. Temper tantrum throwers.
Granted, maybe the Iraqis need to step up to the plate, but we have to have a presence there to back them up and keep little Handjob from taking over the entire Gulf! It’s not rocket science.
But the dummycraps and RINOs don’t seem to recognize that.
Too bad, none of dummycraps running for President are worth much. None of them has any idea what they’re doing and will screw this nation up six ways from Sunday!
ok dont u have anything better to do? ur so biased and narrow minded….theres always a reason for everything…find that out and then make ur comments.
by the way i doubt u can single handedly stop islam growing..although good luck. (not) u cant see a whole religious group as bad or dangerous..theres exremeism in all religions, and im all for israel being wiped off the map and america being blown up ?…ill join if i have to…try and stop me.
ur tryna take away peoples rights…u want peace? pfffff. explain to me what part of what ur doing now is peaceful? huh
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee………be careful what u say u may hav a bomb drop on u…
It is extremely surprising to see how a war supporter reacts to actions made by the good guys to end the violence in Iraq and put a stop to the ever increasing American casualties in this very unpopular war, I do not see any reasonable excuse for the continuation of this hostility, we all know that such an aggressive behavior only creates more problems rather than solutions, since most Americans are no longer in favor for the continuance of U.S. military actions in Iraq, don’t you think its time to reconsider and join the flow of the masses?
Wrong O Lardass, the American People want a victory and want to quit screwing around with this insurgency.
Lardass you don’t even deserve to be on the same page as that picture, Those men are America’s heroes, those are real Americans getting ready to put it all on the line, for Asswipes like you, just to ensure that you have a right to make stupid statements as you have above.
and … Ayatola, Eat shit.
Aaliyah, great points. Now go back to shaving your legs and bring me that menu. Now, or no tip for you! What’s the Islam Bomb? Three girl babies with firecrackers attached?
And Lord Antagonist, you’re striving for intelligent commentary but you’re still just stupid as you were last time. Then you were defending your lover boy, Vlad Putin, now you sound like Nancy Pelosi.
“Lord Antagonist”. Hahahahahaha. Is that what your husband calls you?
Unfortunately, you’ve made a wrong impression about me, first, I’m not a female, second, any form of relationship is not part of any of my short/long term genuine goal, it’s a pity that you haven’t noticed that having a family is the greatest obstacle to one’s accomplishment of his/her predestined achievement! You don’t know me very well, my personal ambitions range from being a successful arms industrialist (to ensure a steady supply of weapons to Terrorists that shares my same agenda) to being the secretary general of the United Nations! (in which I will dissolve NATO and create the new Eurasian Federation). Are these too difficult to attain? I’m not even in my 20’s, I have all the time I need to prepare. Although I’m not certain if my current field of study which is medicine will be of any benefit for me to accelerate my plans, what do you suggest?
Let me see if my guess is right some where in
the Persain Gulf is this little under water boat
SSBN-726 class FBM submarine.It can carry 24 ballistic missiles with MIRV warheads is hanging around.So Lord Antagonist and Aaliyah you want to play hardball be my guest and see the magic
of turning sand into glass…By the way thats
3 times MIRV or a total of 75 warheads which
are all over 100 kilo tons each…
LordAnalcyst – you do sound young. Like a young know-it-all who really knows little. If you finish medical school and make diagnosis the way you make ignorant statements, there will be a lot of dead patients.
Your goofy statement about having a family being an obstacle to one’s achievements could be the perfect excuse to the Third World stagnating centuries behind the developed world. Third Worlders, your pets, have large bunches of kids.
But how do you explain America’s great achievements in much of the 20th Century when American families trended to be large? Your parents certainly had one child too many.
Besides, I think your purpose for posting here is not to debate, but just to antagonize.
Lardass
Here’s my suggestion, take a short piece of rope and a big tall tree and save the good people of the planet the trouble.
LA:
I suggest you find someone really good to discuss your disorder. It could be a simple as a borderline condition, or maybe even a full-blown psychosis which can be treated with drugs and therapy.
Your unremarkable political and personal “philsosophy” is derived from the summary you found, somewhere, of the Great Man phenomenon, or something about the Uber Mensch, which consists largely of the delusions of the sexually ambivalent, the power hungry, and the emotionally deprived.
The manifestations of your sick egomania are apparent to anyone who reads your posts; the only possible conclusion is that…in the vernacular…you’re a pathetic loser with an anger problem, mediocre grades in school continued rejection for despicable hygiene and personal appearance, and a barely suppressed desire to get even with the world.
Arms industrialist? You would then need to know that a screwdriver is a tool for work, and not a device to scratch your rashes, and that power equipment means something other than “vibrator”.
“Medicine” is not a field when it means simply the daily application of pimple preparations and
de-sensitizers, and the United Nations has enough coffee boys to last a century or more.
You, kid, are a moron.
LA–
If you are going to be a man of medicine, I would NOT want you treating me for any condition. I would probably have to turn you in to your superior for malpractice.
You are rude, condescending and in urgent need of a maturity pill. Remember, as a physician or nurse, you first “do no harm.”
Aaliyah–
You simply need to grow up and smell the coffee.
Do you really think that you will still have the freedom to say such things in a Muslim run world?
Do you really want to be told what to do and when to do it? And that you can’t have a job because you’re a woman? And have no rights whatsoever?
And remember, that thing about dropping a bomb on us is known as a terroristic threat, even if it is meant as a joke and it is a federal offense. Someone might just not understand what you meant it as.
Just remember, both of you, that due to soldiers past and present, you have the right to say such horrible, nasty things. So lay off and get on with your little lives and let the rest of us live ours.
Lynn:
These two are squeakers. A couple of smelly little mice wishing they were rats.
Don’t let them bother you.
Aaliyah and LordAntagonist,
One thing: bwaaahahahahaha
Good luck with those “dead” end plans you have. And I find it hard to believe that you are in med school LordAntagonist. I see med students pretty much every day of the week, and you clearly are operating beneath them. My guess is you are a washout from med school.
And had the liberals of this country not saddled our military with touchy feely RoE, this conflict would be over with. Let our military do what they are trained to do – blow stuff up. And show those who would oppose them what brutal, swift punishment they can administer.
Tom…….”Bush is sorely lacking in communicating with America”……I agree, I wish he would say it like it is. He does sometimes and when he has I want to applaud him. But too few times he is like that.
Lynn, your right, the Democrats plan this whole thing, they know exactly what they are doing and I hate to say this but they are experts at doing this kind of thing with the help of the media at every turn. whew Sorry about the long sentence. hahahahaha
Senator John Thune got it right when he said to his fellow senators that didn’t know where the front on the war on terror is: “Drive ten minutes to the Pentagon that was attacked on 9-11-01, drive to NY and see the gaping holes in the ground…drive to the field in Pennsylvania
(Shanksville) where heroric passengers took the plane down! That’s where the front on terror is.”
God bless Senator John Thune and Lord, deliver US from evil, Amen! PS: Of the 2,996 murdered Americans and foreigners (120) of 9-11-01, 1,000
have yet to be found or identified; 2,996 slaughtered in three states in three hours by 19 evil Islamomaniac terrorists in the name of Allah
Ackbar!
