Recently, Colin Powell told NPR that the surge can't last past next summer. Patreaus has recently said that by next summer "we'll have to get a lot smaller." These two guys have affectively set a timetable, dictated by the diminishing resources of the U.S. Army. Again, redeployment by next August sounds like a given. <BR/><BR/>What's really happening in the media now is a contest over whether or not the Administration can, between now and next summer, spin this whole Iraq mess into a victory for the President and the Republicans in 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-71808374272064060212007-09-06T11:58:00.000-04:002007-09-06T11:58:00.000-04:00It is so sad- really pathetic.I grew up, as many o...It is so sad- really pathetic.<BR/><BR/>I grew up, as many of you might have, in an environment where being in politics had some element of actual public service.<BR/><BR/>Which often meant delivering difficult bad news and it meant taking stands that your constituents might not like.<BR/><BR/>Part of the work was to gain understanding from your but to do what must be done for the good of the many.<BR/><BR/>Today- weak, selfish, pandering, cowardly actions that serve the good of the few.

Feinstein is the one I want to see go, but she will be safe and we'll probably lose Boxer to Schwarzenegger, and that scenario is even worse.<BR/><BR/>At this point I haven't a clue as to how to change the situation, it seems as if the citizens no longer matter and they aren't even trying to hide it.<BR/><BR/>I want my country back.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459751273157119630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-14049998961366851252007-09-06T08:30:00.000-04:002007-09-06T08:30:00.000-04:00I agree Shaun that the Democrats are cowards.

They are afraid of being lableled as not supporting the troops because the way to stop this mess is not tpo pass ther $50 Billion Bush wants to help fund the war. He can use money already approved to do that. But the spineless Democrats need to be taught a lesson. When the Party's base has moved very left on this issue and the leadership is trying to occupy the "middle ground" it is ttime to replace thoise Democrats and vote for more supportive of where We The People are on this major issue. Pelosi is my Congresswoman and I am hoping someone runs agaisnt her and wins next Fall.<BR/><BR/>Good post.Charles Amicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961937751462567571noreply@blogger.com
