Democrats' Iraq timeline offers enemies a victory, Bush says
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070414/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush

Let's break some things down...
President Bush said Saturday that a Democratic plan to set an end date for the war gives "our enemies the victory they desperately want."
Who are the enemies? The Iraqi people? This is a civil war, the Iraqi people want the US out. They are fighting for their own freedom.

Bush chided Democrats for taking a spring break without finishing work on the bills, and said they'll be to blame if troops have to go without necessities as a result of the standoff.
Unlike the president who breaks whenever he feels like it. Our Democratic Senators gave him two bills before they took their break. He can blame them all he wants for troops going without neccesities, this has been a Bush failure since day 1!

"I call on members of Congress to put partisanship on hold, resolve their differences, and send me a clean bill that gets our troops the funds they need," Bush said.
Partisanship? Do you even know what that means, Mr. MyWayOrTheHighway? Maybe Bush and his cronies could have put aside their partisanship when they fire attorneys?!?

On Saturday, the president agreed with Democrats that "the American people voted for change in Iraq." But he said that is what is happening now, under a new war plan he announced three months ago to send extra U.S. troops to Iraq to calm Baghdad and Anbar Province and to install a new war commander, Gen. David Petraeus.
I voted for an end to the war, not a new course, not extra troops being sent to Iraq.

Let's make no mistake about Iraq. It is no safer. Bush wants to push this off to the next administration. God help us if a Republican is voted in again.

2. Only a FOOL believes in his own FOOLISH WAYS....bad part is he wants others to
follow him...and 25% of us do....

Bush is a man who does not Listen....its too bad...he could learn a lotta things...

And when he does listen...he ain't listening to Reason....he listens to the voice on the other end....

3. Thank you for your concern.
This country did NOT "vote in" a Republican president the last two times and there is no reason to believe they like George or the war better now than they did then.

Wishy-washy hopelessness on our side is only helpful to the Republicans who want us to give up and stay home.

4. Time to Use Logic

Bush declared victory(debateable of course what victory is) in 2003 on the deck of the Aircraft Carrier.

They BUSCHO keep on saying that they wnat to Acheive voctory in Iraq (I thought they already declared mission accomplished).

So by Omission and logic they are saying is that THEY already lost the war and are now trying to blame it on teh Dems.
