#3 "A dozen leading congressional Democrats." Hmm so the rest of the Donks either don't care or don't have the cajones to sign a letter? I was listening to Menendez (Idiot-New Jersey) this morning n FNC and he refused to stray from his talking points and address issues (vis-à-vis Rumsfield). The donks offer nothing but resistance/subterfuge and nothing helpful. When you try to pin them on substance, all of a sudden things become fuzzy and abstract but nothing approaching clarity. You cant fight a war in the abstract it has to be fought with clarity or it is not winnable. The bottom line is they can't get rid of Bush, Cheney, or Rove, so they have to try another target this election season and surprise it's Rumsfield. Fortunately, Rummy is prepared to defend his actions as was witnessed in his recent column that sent Donks squealing like Napoleon in Animal Farm.

#4 October 1964

Dear President Lincoln,

We do highly recommend you rid the War Department of leadership which has fallen upon those least capable and will result in further unnecessary death of our gallant soldiers. It is known that our armies are lead by a drunkard and another who suffers from severe cases of depression. They have lead us to nothing but stagnation and ruin before Richmond and Atlanta. We call upon you to replace the failed leaders and the policies that have brought us to this abyss.

Yours truly,

The Democratic ~~Copperhead~~ Caucus of Congress

#5 The Dems are paid (under the table) by subversive reps from Iran, etc.

#6 other congressional party leaders criticize Bush's policies in Iraq, calling them part of a "stay the course" strategy that has not made the United States more secure

If we are not more secure, then the MSM has been hiding the repetition of attacks on American home soil.
There may have been one or two terrorist attacks here since 9/11, 2001, but I strongly believe America is more secure. Numerous planned attacks have been foiled and cells and financing have been neutralized.
In short, WTF are the donkeys talking about ? You can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts. But then, according to Limbaugh, the donks are believing their own lies.

#7 This is just part of the Democratic strategy that Zell Miller laid out in 2004:
Defend America with spitballs.
When Zell said it he was using a rhetorical expression. However Pelosi and her crew mean it literally.

And Lincoln's response? "Find out what brand he drinks, and send some to all of my Generals".

#9 Cordially invite them to butt out. DOD is an Executive department.

#10 Want to really cause them fits? Have someone in the house propose changing the DOD back to the War Department run by a Secretary of War.

#13 In his speech today, Bush pretty much told the DEMs, we ain't gonna do it your way.

#15 The country would be better served by considering changing the civilian leadership in the Democratic party.
