    why do congressional dems have to have a plan for iraq? they dont make foreign policy…they fund it

    the only plan they need is to cut the funding

    this was the big lie from the repugs

    stay the course aint a plan…its an insane state of mind that is bankruping our great country

    god bless the usa

    It was those darned hackable Diebold voting machines, duh!

    I still want to know how the Dems are supposed to have a plan for Iraq when the GOP hasn’t let them in on a large swath of the intel and strategy thus far.

    Are they supposed to just make it up?

    That worked so well for Bush.

    The plan is to watch Baker et al do their thing. After Baker et al check in with Pelosi with full briefings

    This is the part where daddy Bush steps in to fix Jrs mess. Thats been the pattern for all of W life. But of course this time it was going to be ‘different’

    Good thing Al Gore wasn’t in charge on 9/11 huh? (/snark)

    They managed to ‘not lose’ by winning.

    Why are Democrats treated like children in comparison to the Republicans?

    Aren’t they both like children?

    BofA Diebold and the other companies don’t market ATM without a paper trail. Imagine if an ATM started to spit out $100 bills for free. Or you make a deposit and claim that you put in $1,000,000. The politicians are just as guilty for going cheap with Diebold and other companies.

    We have paper crap shooting out of our machines here.

    Not really sure why you think a machine so hackable that people can break it with their minds is going to produce paper records that won’t be ‘hacked’ (seriously, receipt paper is cheap, folks, and so is the generic ink). At least with a machine problem you’ve got a lotta forensics tools available. It’s not like NVRAM can be wiped that easily.

    UJM : as always, the House and Senate may move laws which the troops are required to act upon (unless they feel very, very pressured to). If the Republicans are worried about 2008 screwing them over for supporting Iraq, there’s no way a veto will be used against an innocuous evil like ‘will attempt to save lives at all cost’, which is a perfect way to lose the traditional war of killing all the bad guys.
