IRAQ: REPUBLICAN’S WAR

The American people know that the war in Iraq is George Bush's responsibility. Yet, over the past 18 months it has also become the Republican's war. Every effort to develop greater accountability for this war by a new Democratic Congress has been met with Republican filibusters, a Bush veto or threats to do more of the same. Although several Republican Senators have broken ranks with Bush's failed Iraq strategy, many others wring their hands and give speeches about their desire for a better outcome. Yet when push comes to shove, they stick with Bush.

It's time to hold Republican Party Congressmen responsible for this war. Those Republicans who feign concern over Bush's leadership of the war now have a choice: take their own responsibility as Congressmen seriously as their colleague Chuck Hagel has suggested and begin establishing a time-table to bring our troops home while also demanding a diplomatic surge to resolve the political stalemate that prevents a better solution to this war.

Iraq is not only George Bush's war: it's the Republican Party's war.

Bush has now made clear what many long suspected. He intends to run out the clock and turn his mess over to the next president. Yet, he aims for more. Everybody knows there's no good end to this war given our current predicament. As Thomas Friedman has stated, we are faced with bad or even worse options. Bush is setting the Democratic Congress, and in all likelihood a Democratic president, up for a fall. “It's their war to lose. He had victory in sight if not for the spineless Democrats who gave up on victory” – so the line goes. This is no way to conduct foreign policy or wage war in our name. As the Iraqi Study Group emphasized, a war policy must be bi-partisan to gain the support of the American people.

The Democratic Congress has been struggling with finding a successful way forward. Here's the message.

1) Tell the American people, consistently, that Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate are threatening the use of a filibuster to address one of the most serious issues before us: the safety of American soldiers and our nation. A simply majority reflecting the will of the American people cannot force a change in Iraq policy, now a super majority is required. Hammer home the absurdity of placing our soldiers and nation at risk through Congressional stalling tactics or threats of filibusters.

2) Iraq is now the Republican Party's war. Turn up the heat on Republican Senators and Congressman to take responsibility and work with the Democratic majority to find a bi-partisan solution. $10 billion is the monthly raid on our nation's treasure for staying the course. The daily, weekly and monthly numbers of dead and injured soldiers are the responsibility of politicians who are frozen by inaction, unwilling to take on their own responsibility. Stubborn support for a failed war policy must have consequences. If Republican's vote to "stay the course", they will be held accountable in 2008.

3) Support a diplomatic surge by bringing nations from around the world together to support Iraq in finding the necessary political accommodation to stand up a government that can lead them forward. Support the appointment of a special envoy who's job it is 24/7 to make this happen.

4) A focus on terrorism should be on al Qaeda and all military and diplomatic efforts must be transitioned to this effort.

5) Support the advice of many military leaders to re-position our military in Iraq and end their role of policing a civil war. A new mission is required.

This message must be consistently conveyed by all Democrats who speak on the subject of Iraq. This message must become the mantra of the Democratic Party.

Bone-Head Boehner should apologize already or just resign. He's also implicated in covering up for Mark Foley.

The only people you can blame for boner head saying asshole remarks are the idiots that voted him. This also shows us how stupid and dumb the republicans are.

Dunkling:

Of course the Iraq War is a REPUBLICAN PARTY WAR. George W. Bush is a REPUBLICAN, appointed and placed by the REPUBLICAN PARTY and their DLC COOPERATORS.

It is a drastic mistake to separate George W. Bush from the REPUBLICAN PARTY because George W. Bush is not the real leader of this country, THE REAL LEADER is the REPUBLICAN PARTY. The REPUBLICAN PARTY operates the BUSH PUPPET, not as well as the REPUBLICAN PARTY operated the REAGAN PUPPET, as BUSH isn't as good an actor as REAGAN.

NDN is DLC globalization with a different cloak to appear different, but NDN is the DLC and the DLC is the NDN that WE THE PEOPLE, the 70% MAJORITY COMMON POPULATION MUST VOTE OUT OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES before the NDN & DLC morph into something else to hide from the 70% MAJORITY COMMON POPULATION. It is plain to see Harry Reid is DLC on the DLC's NDN site. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.

John Boehner is a CONSERVATIVE RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN. When a REPUBLICAN acts like a REPUBLICAN it is to be expected. The Democratic Party has a REPUBLICAN SIDE, and the ONLY problem is the REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, the DLC, the NDN and the NDC [All DLC-Democrats] acting like REPUBLICANS. That's the rub.
