#1 Be more effective? Thats the call? You have better plans?

I tell you what useless congress, I know you have NO plans. WE in fact have over nine.

How about being effective in supporting the commander in chief for a change? huh? Give that a whirl.

To quote the only good line of the week, you are a bunch of pygmies.

#2 It is increasingly clear that the administrations policy has served neither the needs or the people of Pakistan nor security interests of our country
Yup, Bush has failed Pakistan. That's an astonishing sentence, even for Reid.

I understand that Biden's working on a plan to solve this by partitioning Pakistan.

We believe events in Pakistan and elsewhere convincingly demonstrate it is long past time for a more effective strategy for dealing with Pakistan, the related situation in Afghanistan, as well as addressing the other threats and challenges America faces around the world.

And your suggestion is what, exactly?

"failed" is now joined by "derailed". The Dems have doubled their vocabulary.

#3 Life is made up of solutions, not problems.

Unfortunately, it's also chock full of those who haven't figured this out. Yet. Those are the folks you can still hope to lead around by the nose to win elections.

#4 In past I have suggested that the RNC set up a "school for Democrat leaders", with a course called "Basic Foreign Policy", tongue in cheek.

Then I realized that the Democrat ignorance and incompetence in foreign policy is so incredibly dangerous, that this isn't funny. The Republicans should set up a school like this and *pay* to get Democrat leaders to attend.

Be as nice as possible to them, but lay down the law. They cannot continue bumbling about like a drunken bull in a china shop without risking not only the United States, but also entire continents or the world itself.

If they want to do something for "the environment", a great start would be by not starting World War III because they don't know any better.

Lyndon Johnson screwed the pooch with Indochina. Jimmy Carter lost five friendly nations to communism and a vicious theocracy. Bill Clinton resulted in the War on Terror.

That is not a coincidental pattern.

#5 "Let's tell them that we have a plan... but let's not tell them what it is. That's always worked well for me..." -- John Kerry, overheard in the Senate cloak room.

#6 These "Democratic Leaders" could never hold down a job. Let alone a management position. If there is a problem, it is not the employee's responsibility to just notify management about the problem, the best employee also recommends solutions that resolve the problem.

These pin heads can't even begin to offer effective solutions. There complaint is just another slam against management in disguise.

#7 *correction* If there is a problem, it is not the employee's should read If there is a problem, it is not only the employee's

#8 I find it deeply disturbing that we allow known or suspected traitors serve in the highest offices.

#9 I find it deeply disturbing that we allow known or suspected traitors serve in the highest offices.

It is because of the liberal left and the fact we don't enforce the laws of being a traitor anymore.

#12 I wouldn't bet money on Harry Reid discovering that water is wet, much less having a "plan" for dealing with Pakiwakiland. The man is a certifiable charlatan, and deserves to be hung by the people of Nevada. Unfortunately, I don't see anybody with enough cojones to do the job there.
