And do you think the troop escalation is just Bush's decision, i.e. that he has no competent advisers? I'm not a "Bush apologist," but I trust that those in the position to make these decisions, including the President and General Petraeus, are making the decisions that they feel are the best for us as a country, and for the people of Iraq. If our Congress feels so strongly that this is such a mistake, then yes, they have a responsibility to do something - but save me the rhetoric of nonbinding resolutions. Don't play politics with this issue - don't claim to be supporting the troops while trying to deny what many believe our troops really need to survive and succeed - reinforcements.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738547994374468742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28361043.post-49560373822225438732007-02-17T19:25:00.000-06:002007-02-17T19:25:00.000-06:00I've boiled the debate down to one talking point t...I've boiled the debate down to one talking point to answer the critcs of the resolution: this debate was about stopping the presdident's ill-advised escalation, NOT about turning turds into diamomds, as the Bush apologists would like the world to believe.jay lassiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345281883426261787noreply@blogger.com
