Well it put a smile on my face today when I saw on the Drudge
Report that my Grand Ol’ Party was going to make those democrats put their cards
on the table and their votes on the record. I side to myself, it is about time somebody
on my side started to mix things up.
Here’s how it started out in this
report.
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Republicans, sensing an opportunity for political advantage,
maneuvered for a quick vote and swift rejection Friday of a Democratic lawmaker’s
call for an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq.“We want to make sure that we support our troops that are fighting in Iraq and
Afghanistan,” said Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill. “We will not retreat.”House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi had no immediate reaction to the planned
vote.
Well Nancy, it is probably best. It is always so painful to an ear to hear you speak
anyway.
A day after his comments, a U.S. field commander in Iraq countered the position
of the usually pro-military congressman.“Here on the ground, our job is not done,” said Col. James Brown, commander of
the 56th Brigade Combat Team, when asked about Murtha’s comments during a weekly briefing
that American field commanders routinely give to Pentagon reporters.Speaking from a U.S. logistics base at Balad, north of Baghdad, two days before
his scheduled return to Texas, Brown said: “We have to finish the job that we began
here. It’s important for the security of this nation.”
It is important indeed. I is nice to hear too. I just wish the democrats would start
listening and stop playing politics with our troops.
For far greater commentary, “Keep Digging”. Thanks to OSM for
that. I hope they don’t mind I use that. If they do I am sure they will let me know.
Michelle Malkin - You have to see this funny.
