"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. " It's hard to imagine -- a Republican president said that. It's fu*king unbelievable considering the present climate Republicans have created. It does demonstrate a massive erosion of the values of earlier Republicans in comparison to the current crop. I think what it clearly shows, is that active participation in a real war gives you very different perspective. It's too bad Mr. Bush never served... never had that perspective... maybe we wouldn't be in this mess now. |

"Annika1980" wrote in message ups.com... Not true. Joe Biden has a plan. Harold Ford has a plan. Murtha has a plan. Bush's problem is that he listens to nobody but Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney. I'm not sure that's true, Brett. He listens to God. And all those other voices in his head. Of course, I'm never sure if he's really a smarmy, ignorant fratboy, or just playing the part. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |

"MarkČ" mjmorgan(lowest even number wrote in message ... In other words... They had no plan. If they had an alternative plan, we'd have heard it. Maybe if you got your news & views from someone other than Brit Hume or someplace other than Fox, you'd have a clue. Here's Murtha's plan, or at least the first version I found after five minutes with Google. This one's dated 4/17/06. http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press.../pr060407.html Here's a shorter and earlier version, dated 11/17/05: http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press...51117iraq.html And hey, Murtha more or less answers your rhetorical question on "why Dems don't offer their plans." Because if a plan is given, and happens to disagree with Dear Leader's plan, the person offering the plan is swiftboated, labeled a traitor or "defeatocrat," and dismissed as a terrorist sympathiser. IOW: The deck is stacked. The Republican slime machine is poised to dump its filth and bile on anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader. It takes cojones to speak to power, and Murtha's got what it takes. By contrast, Dubya and Cheney are cowards and draft dodgers. I think "chickenhawk" is the proper term. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |

Dubya's only defense is that he's delusional. Cheney and Rummy fixed the intelligence around a policy that they'd published years before 9/11. It's called "Project For a New American Century." It's public info. It's the neocon workbook. Look it up. Cheney's aide (Libby) was indicted. Do you not recall that whole scandal? Do the names Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame ring a bell? Rove escaped indictment by the skin of his teeth. Open your eyes and get a grip, Mark. Yes, Mark.....Open your eyes to the fact that to some democrats, there is nothing any republican president can do to prevent them from a kind of blind hatred that is all-consuming, and totally impossible to stem. No republican can ever do anything right to these people, and every mistake they make becomes an evil lie, made intentionally for only the wrong reasons. Trying to reason with people like this is a complete waste of time. |

I see why he hasn't spoken up about his "plan" more clearly. Step #1 of his "plan": Leave Iraq, and be ready to respond from outside of Iraq!! What a joke. Step #2: Spend the money we would have spent on Iraq on other stuff. Ah! So never mind earlier gripes about spending too much, or growing governemt...we'll still spend the money... Step #3: Reengage by withdrawing from Iraq (?????) Truly revealing that you see this as a legitimate "plan." -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |

Why? Because in two years, when nothing has immproved...the Dems won't be able to whine that "if only we had BOTH...boy THEN you'd see how great we are!" OK. You've got both. Time to put up all that you haven't shut up about for so long. This should be interesting. Same with Rumsfeld. OK. He's out. What now, Dems?

"rafe b" wrote in message t... "MarkČ" mjmorgan(lowest even number wrote in message news:b615h.11349 And the Democrat's PLAN offered as alternative was....... what again?? Before 11/7/2006 there was no point in the Dems offering a plan. And besides, nobody asked their opinion. The majority party spared no effort to shut them out of the decision- making process, at every juncture and at every level. How convenient....And they never made any speeches on the floor of congress either? My goodness, how could the republicans keep so many politicians quiet? And all those talk show guest appearances.....Why did they keep their brilliant strategies from us then too? Well, now they are free to give us their insights. I am eagerly waiting for all the terrorists to suddenly go away...... |
