WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush on Saturday accused Democrats who are moving anti-war legislation through Congress of using troops as leverage to win domestic political battles.
"Unfortunately, some in Congress are using this bill as an opportunity to micromanage our military commanders, force a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq and spend billions on domestic projects that have nothing to do with the war on terror," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "Many in Congress say they support the troops, and I believe them. Now they have a chance to show that support in deed, as well as in word."

3. Since dimson is such a total failure, someone has to start making

logical decisions to protect the troops.
What a dickwad; "spend billions on domestic projects that have nothing to do with the war on terror".
The 'war on terror' isn't the only thing Americans need to be concerned with, but he doesn't 'get' that.

6. Military Support for GOP Is in Free Fall (read it and weep, re-pukers)

Pardon my tardiness. While searching online for interesting political tidbits, I came across a two-month-old story of towering significance that received a paltry amount of media exposure. The Los Angeles Times reported in January that the Military Times's annual poll of active-duty service members found support among them for the Republican Party is dropping significantly. So significantly, in fact, that the 30-year trend of "Republicanization" of the military has reversed and is in a free fall.

The Times reported on a one-year decline of 10 points from 56 to 46 percent from January 2006 to January 2007 among active-duty service personnel who self-identify as Republicans. The year before, a 4-point drop cut Republican identification from an all-time high of 60 percent.

One has to infer the Iraq war is taking its toll on Republican supremacy not only at the voting booth but also among the good and honorable folks actually doing the fighting. (More at link)

Mr. Bu$h, just STFU. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, is totally fed up with your incessant bullshit. Please STFU and go quietly into the night. Go, and anticipate the inevitable summons that await you and your fellow war criminals.

7. Bush has a point.

We went into Iraq to disarm Saddam Hussein. Until we achieve this goal, we shouldn't even think about pulling the troops out. I'm ashamed that our party is even considering it.
