#1 I suspect that a "revision" of the AUMF-- while the war is still underway-- would be a very difficult thing for the Dems to pull off.

Any change of langugage would only be an overtly obvious attempt to usurp the Commander in Chief's constitutional authority to conduct the war.

It's all bluster, or sound and fury signifying nothing.

#2 Dumbasses.

The AUMF is not a computer file whose name you can change and voila! now thew left runs executive warmaking powers.

There are real consequences with losses of real lives, American lives.

You can't agree to a war and then later decide that you are against it, not without winning the war. We have real live citizens who have staked their very lives and well being on a positive outcome to the war. The left may think they owe no one anything for their high minded idealism, but they do owe those servicefolks consideration and support this thing to its only acceptable conclusion. It is their moral obligation to support these citizens who are risking their lives to win the war.

It is not a choice. It's an obligation.

Real consequences will follow regardless of the outcome.

#3 My brain and the brain of the average donk have to made out of completely different material.

My brain says there is only one acceptable conclusion to this war. Victory, winning, success or whatever you want to call it.

In the donks brain however, this outcome is completely unthinkable and the only outcome they can think of is the the outcome that is unthinkable in my brain, failure.

#4 "...we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Hey Democrats! Remember those words? He must be wondering whatever happened to that Democratic party. In a just world, Kennedy would rise up from the grave and toss both Pelosi and her little dog Murtha into the Potomac as an example to the rest of them.

#6 The graphic made me laugh out loud. Also appropriate, though different, would have been one of a 90 lb weakling throwing sand in the muscleman's face.

#7 "I would propose that this conference be carried out under U.N. auspices, with robust involvement from various Iraqi factions, neighboring countries, key Middle East nations, the European Union and others, with the hope of brokering deals on securing Iraq's borders, disbanding militias, finalizing the constitution, establishing divisions of power and oil resources, and other issues."

What a freakin' donkweed (don't know if that tag's been ™ yet, but this is a family website)! Problem is all the ideas above are the CAUSE of Iraq's problems now. A UN Conference? Been done. Involve Iraqi "factions"? Been there/done that. Involve neighboring countries & key ME Nations? Ever heard of Syria & Iran being involved? Or, Saudi hate-funding of Paki madrassahs to start all this $h!t? Involve the EU? See: France, UN, Oil for Kofi Program...nuff said. "Brokering deals" on sealing the Iraqi border? How 'bout just freaking doin' it? Disbanding militias? See: Bush/2007 SOTU Address & readjustment speech the week before the SOTU. Constitution's been finalized. And, finally, the Iraqis are "hashing out" the remaining issues (oil profits, etc.). It's almost as if this guy's ~~stuck in 2003/2004~~ been readin' the MSM. What a putz.
