1. Just what George wants. They are getting us ready for the

September report. They'll keep working this and working this until 2009 begins to look pretty good.

4. The stealing of what we came for has to be complete.

Some of our subjects may disapprove, so we must beat them down good for awhile.

5. '09? How about '99.

so many here forget our Baghdad Embassy is the size of the Vatican! Folks, we aren't getting out of Iraq.

Not in 2009, not in 2099.

7. I Wish You Were Wrong

Defunding is the way to go...and we need to pressure the 6 obstructing Repugnicans standing in the way of up or down votes and then force booshie to veto...then hold firm about passing through a bill until either he compromises (troop withdrawls and a timetable) or he loses all his funding.

The dirty secret is that boooshie will find other ways to fund his war for profit. If the money is cut, he'll borrow it from other government operations or just float more junk paper to China and others. Thus not only does he need to have his funding of this invasion cut, but also have laws passed to prevent him from stealing it from other places.
