1. Between the Christo/fascists on the "right" and the democrat/Quislings on the "left." We are sincerely screwed.

2. Cenk Uygur is either an incompetent "reporter" or a blatant liar.

Tell us Cenk: exactly what are these "different" plans Congress has proposed? The ONLY PLAN the Dems have proffered is unconditional surrender!

The Democrats have been getting our troops killed from day one with their defeatist rhetoric and declarations that our military is doing nothing in Iraq but raping women and purposely killing civilians.

I realize that you and other liberals despise our soldiers but the reality is that our troops are brave and courageous men and women displaying amazing heroism every single day.

3. Robert Byngham. Unconditional surrender? Please, open your eyes and stop watching faux news. You are an unenlightened fool.

4. Dennis,
It is you who is unenlightened! With all the democratic political correctness, it is no wonder why are troops are just sitting their with hands tied behind their backs. If the Dems would actually back off, we could have kept going full force in the war!, but no we just sit there and take the side road bombings.

5. Cenk, have you forgotten that congress voted to send our troops to Iraq in the first place? Would they now vote to cut funding? Sorry pal but your comments are the one's to be construed as asinine.

6. Robert, livinxsacrafice and lou,


You guys make no sense. Congress has been giving George Bush all the money he wanted for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And if you read newspapers or magazines (TV is overrated) then you would know that we are going full force. the problem is we are not fighting a country but random people and the difficulty of determining who is the enemy and who is a regular citizen. If the troops are not succeeding then it is an issue that has to be corrected by the leaders of the military, not congress or the administration. I can't believe you guys will blame the liberals for what is going on in Iraq. They, like many of us, bought what Bush and Cheney were selling. We got screwed but to think that you would support the role our military is playing right now as shields to the Iraqi citizens then you need to reconsider what you are really supporting. Our soldiers are dying, I want them to accomplish the mission, wait they already have. Saddaam is gone and there are no WMD's. I don't remember anyone saying at the begining of the war that we plan to occupy it too. This is a book that is being written on the fly. We have leaders in very important political positions that have no idea how to truly run a government or to lead in a time of crisis. They are rich businessmen who realized that they can get wealthier if they are able to regulate, or deregulate.

7. What a bunch of PC crap! Last time I checked when you volunteer for something, you're not being held hostage. Youre expressing a willingness to undertake a service. A HUGH Thank You to the brave men and women of our volunteer military, and to our commander-in-chief for never wavering in his support for them!

10. Not only is the bush kid holding the troops hostage damn it!!! He is holding all of us hostage with his so call war plans and policies.

As for the Democratic Congress, well, I'm certainly not happy that they just haven't stoped giving this Rat any more money (in my opinion here is were they are being week!!!). However, what exactely can Congress do when theyt DO NOT HAVE THE 60 VOTES NEEDED???? Who out there with a brillient political mind, can answer that one???

Patty at 2:40PM on Sep 10th 2007

11. Oh and I forgot. For over 6 years we had a GOP Congress, what did they do??? It was a free for all, let IDIOT have it his way 100% of the time. Many of them are either gone because they were voted out or had to leave in shame. Not that they know what shame is!
