We have honest-to-God petulant children in charge of a branch of our government. Has political theatre EVER been so blatant? What an embarrassment...

Political theater indeed, Me#1.

Of course, it will accomplish nothing.

I have never been more disappointed in both parties than I have been these past couple of years. I am so damn tired of everything being politized! Where was standing up for what is right and wrong in the world has gone so wrong?

I wonder how the democrats and rogue republicans expect the Iraqi's people to secure their borders, when we, the richest, bravest country in the world as YET to secure our borders EVEN AFTER a terrorist attack that killed 3,000 of it's own citizens? We can not even get certain parts of our own cities safe for our innocent children who's parents live on the goverment, we only have two parties and can not get them agree to support the troops and win a war on terrorism, yet we expect 3 different muslin groups come together and somehow be friends and agree on everything. We somehow expect the Iraqi people to know the good guys from the bad guys yet we have several Muslin groups and non-muslims (ACLU) groups in our own country working against us - so how in the hell do we expect a country who is so uncertain of who will support them - because they knew from the beginning that the American word from an American Senator can not be kept. Sad...Sad...Sad.

How can we expect the Iraqi's to do what we have yet been unable to accomplish in our country?

Senate Scuttles Troop Withdrawal Bill
Jul 18 11:30 AM US/Eastern

By ANNE FLAHERTY
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Republicans on Wednesday scuttled a Democratic proposal ordering troop withdrawals from Iraq in a showdown that capped an all- night debate on the war.

The 52-47 vote fell short of the 60 votes needed to cut off debate under Senate rules. It was a sound defeat for Democrats who say the U.S. military campaign, in its fifth year and requiring 158,000 troops, cannot tame the sectarian violence in Iraq.

I'll have to make a point of skipping the inevitable post-petulance, fatigued, doing the courageous Senatorial work for.the.people, melancholic Harry Reid media-interview paean. I know it's out there...somewhere.

Listening to Harry Reid makes my blood boil.
For health reasons I can't listed to him or Pelosi or several other of the certifiable idiots flap their gums.

Even though it's been obvious for a few years now that we would get to this point it's still so sad to actually be here watching it happen again.
