One of four GOP presidential maybes in Iowa over the weekend, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback argued that Republicans should not shy away from declaring their support for the war. “I think we should talk about the war,” he said. “I think it’s time to have another debate, another national debate about the war.”

This guy is nuts.
Israel is adamant about attacking Iran and Dummy and Rummy have been instructed to consider it a must, on the to-do list of the “Project.”
Cheney/Rove say it’s the bottom line, so it’s the bottom line.
Rove doesn’t mind a “cut and run” from Iraq, as long as it’s in an easterly direction.
Crude is still bouncing over 70 dollars, so the “Project” is still loaded in the breach….waiting.
And the “oil-traders” know all about that “Project.”
Chairman Mao Tse-tung had his little “red book” but Dummy and Rummy have Karl’s talking points to cover the holes in the “Project.”
It seems like the roof of the “Project has more than just one hole in it and the rain started dripping through.
But “The Project For The New American Century” is stuck in the mud, or sand, if you will. And the neoconservatives/Zionists/evangelical-tag-alongs/ and those willing to risk their heads for a billion are getting nervous.
The “Plan” is always great, until all those “never-thoughts” start tugging on your skirt. And the flashlight turns out to be a cylinder used to store dead batteries.
The “Project” People never heard about Murphy or his laws?
This guy is nuts.
“It’s time to have another debate.”
Huh. And when was the FIRST one, Senator Brownback? I seem to recall the Senate handing away its power to the President, and the GOP vilifying anyone who dared to dissent from doing so.
At least he is playing his politics smart. Republicans need to stick to the support for the war on terror. Any Republican running away from the issue might have a tough time on election day.
Joe,If this was really a war on terror, I’d agree with you. It isn’t, and never has been; it’s a war for political power, period!
LOL
Exactly, CF. Debate is just another word for wedge. Under GOP control, Congressional “debate” on Iraq has been non-existent.
The GOP only wants a “debate” on Iraq when an election is coming up.
Sen. Brownback is carrying Karl Rove’s water, just as former Sen. Dole did in smearing John Kerry during 2004.
That’s up to you to decide Jed. I’m just making a point that it is smart politics to support the war for Republican sake.
Well Joe,The republicans are now stuck with supporting this war, since they started it. What’s left for them to debate?
Like GW Bush said:BRING IT ON!
“Any Republican running away from the issue might have a tough time on election day.”
So I guess the sixty plus percent of americans who support an immediate withdrawl dont vote republican?
Do you know something about voter registration or voting machines that we dont know? When was the last time congress critters defied better than sixty percent of voters and then won?
NO INCUMBENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Republicans debate? ROFL
What happens when they run out of talking points? Oh, that’s right, they just keep repeating them over and over again, so they can catapult the propaganda.
Yeah RD, remember how a lie becomes the truth? By repeating it often enough.
This is not a pipe… this is not a pipe… this is not a pipe…
A lie told often enough becomes the truth………….Lenin
Frontline is running a documentary tonight called The Dark Side. No wonder they wanna gut PBS!
The Oregonian’s TV critic Ted Mahar (sorry, no link to review yet) had this to say:
If you watch only one documentary this decade, make it “The Dark Side.” Also, record it. …
You will want to rewind from time to time to be sure that you really heard what you heard. …
Tenet, a holdover from the Clinton regime, quickly reported that the World Trace Center and Pentagon attacks were the work of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaida operating out of Afghanistan.
But Cheney needed to sell the attack as somehow effected by Saddam Hussein.
“Dark Side” details how the weapons of mass destruction fiction was concocted and sold. Some commentators have accused Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush of cherry-picking bits of intelligence while ignoring other bits that did not fit the scenario.
Those who tell the tale here indicate that no cherry-picking was involved. The details were all invented.
Oh and did you hear the comment from John Kerry today concerning the republicans trying to label his suggested strategy “cut and run”?
He noted that in fact, his wasnt a cut and run strategy, but a reasonable alternative to the bush strategy of… wait for it… LIE AND DIE!
heheheheh
Yellowback has it goin’ on with his invade the world/invite the world strategy! If yellowback is fortunate he will spend the rest of his miserable life in exile, in israel, with the rest of the traitors!
Viva La Revolucion Blanco!!
I watched Dark Side tonight. I found it more respectful and informative than F. 9/11.
Like Ive said all along Bush, Cheney, Rummy and the rest pulled the right strings and manipulated this war. The Dark Side doc. proves my opinion.
Tie in the connections to Haliburton etc. and you have a very uneasy feeling about the way the world revolves.
Makes me sick
I just got home, but I want to watch the Frontline episode, so I missed it.
Yeah, GaryC, and the senate killed a bill yesterday to provide haliburton with, um, shall we say, more appropriate oversight. Continue the war, stay the course, and haliburton profits will rise. No surprises there.
The haliburton oversight bill was dead on arrival. And this amid the controversy of no bid contracts and David Safavian, the white house procurement chief in charge of such contracts was convicted of four felony counts of corruption. Looks like Haliburton wins again.
I wonder if guys like Nathan signed up as a haliburton soldier on purpose, or if it just happened after he volunteered. No wonder he is so mad.
He probably joined up thinking he was serving his country, only to discover it was haliburton he was really fighting for. Haliburton’s bottom line and the coverup of bushco lies to further the neocon agenda.
Nice mission.
Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex. Nobody seemed to understand what that was. Now we get to see it live and in action!
Republicans worship at the altar of their War God Bush.
