Did he say that he hopes the report is bad, so that Dems benefit from it, or was it just a matter of fact statement of the absolute truth that progress in Iraq hurts the Dems electorally?

I think the context is that they can't be for the war against the war and for the war.

i wonder if that is his way of supporting the troops?


soooo.....success in iraq is bad for dems. wonderful. wouldn't success be good for all americans? aren't dems americans? don't they want us to succeed?
apparently not, as party is apparently above country, and an election win is more important than success in a war that was approved by our congress. not by the prez, altho dems in office at the time would like us to believe it was the case.

i am disgusted by his comments.

My favorite word to describe them used to be demChiComCrimocrat
dem Chinese Communist Communist Criminal rat
but I don't know how to make a word out of dem Terrorist Emboldening Treasonous dog.. Maybe I'll just call her Nancy

I think there are parallels between Bush and x-42. Both have done everything they could to insure that the minority party became the party with the majority. Regardless what you consider a liberal, Bush should never be considered a conservative.

Wow, where to begin. First, you say Al Qaeda is our enemy. Then answer this: Why did we invade Iraq? Saddam, as evil as he was, had very few connections to Al Queda, if any at all. Think about this. Why in the world would SH ever want to deal with AQ?? It was all about power of his country with his guy, he would never allow AQ to run things. And if you want to say it was WMD's, LOL, I don't even need to respond to that. Next, it is funny in a way how f'ed up this war has been handled yet you still want to bring dems into this. Who was in power for all those years? Or do you think it has been handled appropriatly?

And if some of you want to get into a quote battle, I've got plenty to share from the bush administration (you know, the one's who are actually running this cluster) that many in this country have simply covered their ears over. "Mission Accomplished" ring a bell???? There are plenty more, all you have to do is ask.

When people realize who is responsible for this war and how it has/is been handled and stand up and start asking quesions instead of pawning it off on dems, America will be much better off.

So are you voting for Hillary Rodham or Barak Hussein Obama?

LOL, thought you'd dodge it... You really think the war has been handled appropriately? Appropriately meaning: with the troops safety in mind, with a clear objective, with a clear exit strategy, hell, how about just a clear thought.

true...
Starting pre-emptive wars for the purpose of attempting to create middle eastern american style democricies is hardly a classic conservative type move without question. And he is certainly not even remotely close to a fiscal conservative either. He has many outrageoiusly liberal tenedencies in all the wrong categories.
