Gen. John Abizaid, US Commander warns against withdrawal timetable and suggests more troops be added. Huh? Now? After the elections? Convenient timing. Now all the Dem's have to do is reverse course and convince us all (via CNN and the major three), that we need to stay in Iraq; all in such a way as to not let us remember that retreat/withdrawl is why we voted for them to begin with.
It will be status quo with a different party (read: fooled again).
Or it will be Fantasyland for terrorists in Iraq. Either way, the US gets the shaft.

*If Representative Murtha is selected to be the majority leader, it will be a clear sign that the new Congress has no intention of ending the culture of corruption
The race to be the No. 2 House Democratic leader turned nasty Tuesday, with challenger Rep. John Murtha accusing opponents of "swift-boat style attacks" that hark back to his days being investigated in the FBI's 1980 Abscam sting. Pelosi took a wrong turn in backing Murtha over her current deputy Rep. Steny Hoyer because Murtha's record is marred by ethics questions of the type Pelosi pledged to clean up in Congress.
So much for cleaning up Capitol Hill!!!!

All this stuff, plus taxes and amnesty in just one week of their victory! Yes America, the best days still lie ahead of us..........................................not.
