What control or input does anyone, other than president or those that serve at his pleasure, have over the conduct of the war?
I could put bumper stickers on my car, on my forehead, and it wouldn't change one damn thing.

:D

The opponents of this war had virtually no impact on anything affecting it.

If the democrats had half the hair on their 'nads that they claim they have, they could have pulled the FUNDING for the war back in '02.

THEY DIDN'T.

And guess what?

THEY WON'T.

Everyone of their ilk have drank the Kool-Aid of "It's Bush's fault the war is..." whatever...

Point a finger and blame the other guy...but don't worry about FINDING a way to end the war...elect ME and I'll reveal my Super-Secret Plan to make the world safe and warm and fuzzy and all.... :pukeface:

Congress has the control of the money...no cash, no pay for bombs, airplanes, troops, the war itself...

Put the money towards those little fuzzy-huggy projects and kiss OBL's ass and everything will be better...

Ain't happenin'...

Know why?

Democrats don't have the balls or the guts to put THEIR careers or money where their mouths are...-

If there were term limits...the "war" would have been over back in '04...

But, no guts, so...more war...

You get what you pay for...and obviously, some Democrats are getting paid PRETTY well...

O,BTW, no flag lapel-pin - you're shooting yourself in the foot before you even step outdoors...heard of PA.? He'd have won even more states if he wasn't such an idiot in the "public-perception" department...but we already heard what he thinks of folks in the Bible-belt and those that like the feel of cold steel in their hands on a cool, crisp fall morning...so this flag-lapel-pin thing is just another blip on the "Oh 5hit!" scale of screw-ups that his campaign is trying to find some high-ground on...

Hey! Barack! Get out of the freaking hole and pay attention to a different set of idiots...you're not winning anymore converts using the same set you have right now...

What an idiot...and the other clown? She's wanting to put on shoes too big for her ego to handle...

Boy, if I were a Super-Delegate, I'd be looking to ditch my vote and leave someone else to handle this abortion...it's going to be a lose-lose scenario anyway you look at it...the the final "lose" will be that first Wednesday morning, following the first Tuesday in November...

President-elect McCain.

Nice ring to it, eh?

Nonsense

Nonsense is thinking Iraqi insurgents would be defeated if I switched to saying yay Iraq.

I can appreciate Obama's personal statement regarding 'pieces of flair', but the plain truth, when you are mass-marketing yourself across mainstream America, is that perception is reality. The perception is that he doesn't want the symbol of America attached to his person.

Yep, You're right.

"Yay Iraq" won't help much.

On the other hand, a little "Yay America" might help. Damn sure wouldn't hurt.

Try it, you might like it.

Splain. The post above yours by MGburger said that Dems could have pulled the funding but didn't. So lessee, it's the Dems fault for not stopping the war, and it's the Dems fault that the war is past lost.

Got it.

I have a hard time cheering on flawed, doomed Boooo-****. Or standing behind a fool like "W."

Is "Yay America" synonymous with "Yay Bush?" Seems like this is what some of the population demands. I hear the term "Bush Derangement Syndrome" bandied about, as if there were no such thing as "Clinton Derangement Syndrome" eight years ago.

Then you know where I stand with hippies.

Me saying Yay anything isn't going to stop any violence. And I do say yay America, just not yay war with Americans in it.

So, America is flawed, doomed Boooo**** ???

Oh, yeah, I forgot, you're from Berkeley......

With or on hippies?
