WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 — Democratic leaders in the Senate vowed on Sunday to use their new Congressional majority to press for troop reductions in Iraq within a matter of months, stepping up pressure on the administration just as President Bush is to be interviewed by a bipartisan panel examining future strategy for the war.Speaker to be Pelosi endorses lynching enthusiast and Abscam unindicted co-conspirator John Murtha for Majority Leader:
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in line to become Speaker in January, is throwing her support to Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) in the race for Majority Leader, a move that will be an early test of her influence and will weigh heavily on Murtha's contest with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) for the post.And Alcee Hastings has a really good shot at chairing the House Intelligence Committee, despite having been impeached and removed from the federal bench for corruption:
With Rep. Alcee Hastings a frontrunner to be House Intelligence Committee chairman, he’s already facing unpleasant publicity stemming from his involvement in a corruption case years ago.We haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet - emasculating our counter-terrorism organizations by making surveillance, interrogation, and imprisonment illegal; maybe making US soldiers subject to war crimes trials at the Hague...there's lots of fun to come.
Special thanks to those on the Right who sat out the election because their pet peeves weren't addressed to their satisfaction. Enjoy.

Sigh....My apologies to the People of Iraq for leaving them to the wolves. I'm sorry for my country I really am.

I voted a straight conservative line, so don't blame me. And Mel Martinez is a really GREAT choice for the RNC. Sure to appeal to the conservative base: Abramoff, Amnesty advocate, and so on, and so on, and so on...........

One more point, CREW, the SOROS group, is AGAINST Murtha. I NEVER thought for a minute that I would be agreeing with CREW. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", "strange bedfellows", and all that!!!

That's right - no more mere "culture of Corruption." We're going way beyond that now.

Poor Bluto. I am seing a lot of fear and anger here.
While I am certain that all of these things are apt to cause some fear in some people but really most aren't afraid of those things.

And Howie show me a poll that says that the Iraqi people want us to remain in Iraq. The only ones that want us to stay are al Queda.

John is just a senile old man, sans John Murtha. But he knows math.

The Left have good grounds to attack Murtha as he has proven himself to be of no good help to Africa. Why say that? Remember Rwanda? Guess who was on the House floor and could have stopped cutting off any further military assistance after the slaughter there? When words about 'quagmire' and 'mission creep' were spoken as reasons to FLEE a genocide, guess who raised not objection and patently agreed to that when those words were spoken? Yes, John Murtha.
And is there a type of conflict where John Murtha *will* give a blank check to a President? Will go against the hawks in his party that want the President to be held accountable? Will actually stand up to endorse the idea that even after a President has fully explained the conflict that he will give MORE TIME to have it explained, by that point, a THIRD TIME to him? Why yes, yes there is. It is: Haiti.
So, to John Murtha, a million or so dead is NOT a reason to step into a problem as there might still be some people left alive to be saved, I guess. And to him Haiti is MUCH more important than Iraq... and that turned out swimmingly, didn't that, the kind of fight that Murtha endorses: Haiti.
I really do have to comb through the Congressional Record a bit more, there are such *lovely* quotes against Mr. Murtha from members of his own party....

Murtha. A slap in the face to all brave Marines fighting in that backward assed part of the world.
