Uh, TGIF reader peeps.
I know I sound down - it's because Democrats failed to muster the needed votes to advance a bill calling for the retreat surrender redeployment of U.S. forces in Iraq. I just don't understand the Republicans and even two Dems (!) who refused to support this attempt to win this war support our troops combat terrorism fight global warming save the whales pass a bill. I guess they didn't hear America's call for change during the midterm elections.
To make matters worse, reports coming out of Iraq indicate that since the "surge," terror attacks and U.S. deaths have sharply declined, things that will no doubt fuel this administration's foolish goal of "winning" this conflict. I've complained before about the Republican's compulsion of always having to "win" every war. Until they learn that winning forces someone else to lose, we will never be a sensitive and caring society. At least there's a good chance our next President will be a Democrat, so this situation will probably change.
Scooter peace out.
