embiggen Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush, on a collision course with Congress over Iraq, said Friday "I'm the decision-maker" about sending more troops to the war. He challenged skeptical lawmakers not to prematurely condemn his plan. "I've picked the plan that I think is most likely to succeed," Bush said in an Oval Office meeting with senior military advisers. The president had strong words for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who are lining up to support resolutions opposing his decision to send 21,500 troops to Iraq. He challenged them to put up their own ideas. "Some are condemning a plan before it's even had a chance to work," he said.Posted 1/26/2007 10:36:00 AM link Didn't he just say 'let's work together' the other night, or am I hard of hearing. I feel like we have been cast into a dictatorship with statements like this. Now, he has approved the killing of Iranians who want to kill anyone in Iraq. Two more years of hell with this bloody war! It continuously makes me sick to my stomach. This week alone has been one of the deadliest that I can remember. Jesus! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 His arrrogance is only surpassed by his stupidity. As has been shown time & time again, Bush/Cheney are gonna do whatever the fuck they want. When you've loaded the benches with judges that have been hand-picked to justify your agenda Congressional oversight & inquiries are like a fly buzzing around the ass-end of a cow...just a minor inconvenience. And of course, when in doubt, just lie your ass off & try to make the bastards prove something. Jess if you want to read something that will really horrify you, may I suggest the John Dean book "Worse then Watergate". This Admin., and Cheney in particular, are masters of secrecy and deception & truly are running a 'shadow government'. I doubt if any of the committees on the Hill have the slightest idea of what is really going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheney has been a part of the White House since Nixon and it's time for him to go. he should really be sent to jail like Scooter Libby for this Valerie Plame stuff. I'm ready for a street protest against this war. haven't seen any of those lately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Valerie Plame alone should be enough for charges of treason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The Plame thing, egregious as it was, is small potatoes, and barely even registers among the truly fucked-up and evil things that Cheney has done, if he even was involved with that at all (though I suspect he was).

John Smith Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 In an interview, Pelosi also said she was puzzled by what she considered the president's minimalist explanation for his confidence in the new surge of 21,500 U.S. troops that he has presented as the crux of a new "way forward" for U.S. forces in Iraq.

WilcoFan Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think that Bush and his administration sit around talking and evoking names such as Roosevelt, Truman, Andrew Jackson, and Abe Lincoln and comparing those great presidents to this administration. I think that they honestly believe they know better than everyone else and that history will ultimately judge them as visionaries and equals to the aforementioned presidents.
