Bush Bashes Dems

ABC News' Lydia Thew reports: In his radio address this morning, President Bush again called on Congress to pass a clean war supplemental funding bill. The President criticized Democrats for passing legislation with a withdrawal date for US troops attached, as well as spending unrelated to the war in Iraq.
"When Americans went to the polls last November, they did not vote for politicians to substitute their judgment for the judgment of our commanders on the ground," Bush said. "And they certainly did not vote to make peanut storage projects part of the funding for our troops."
Bush said military leaders will tell Congress this week that $1.6 billion must be transferred from other military accounts to cover the funding delay. "These actions are only the beginning, and the longer Congress delays the worse the impact on the men and women of the Armed Forces will be," Bush said.
The President plans to meet with congressional leaders to discuss emergency war funding on Wednesday.

Sorry, Shrub, you are wrong. If voters could have thrown you out of office last November, they would have done it. You are a mess. Congress, do everything possible to destroy this evil neo-nut, war criminal filled Administration and its illegal war.

The votes were cast to end the war, as the american people stated. Now onto throwing out the rest of the criminals. And anyone remaining in support of this war killing field mess you created.

When the American people went to the polls last November, they voted against you personally, Mr. Bush.

Uh, I think the American people were lulled into voting for a bunch of Pro-Life NRA card holding "MODERATE" Democratic candidates. Furthermore, if you actually read the exit poll data you would find that the majority of Americans were voting against corruption, not defeat in Iraq.

Just as we defeated Germany and Japan in WWII, and then offered a helping hand to get them on their feet again, so we are doing with Iraq. A legacy of friendship and peace is still enjoyed today with these former foes. Freedom is worth fighting for, GO BUSH!

Not confronting evil, not going on the offensive as we did in WWII, has disastrous results. If shallow liberal thinking prevailed in the early 1940's we would all be speaking German and Japanese and bowing to a Fuhrer or Emporer. Pres. Bush is not only correct, but is a brilliant visionary.

dear mr. frebident, a reminder:
generals and soldiers are operatives of destruction that take and hold foreign soil.
it is not their job to implement policy.
they have perfomed admirably as always.
you are at the helm and have looked away in utter incomprehension at even your own idiocy!
HAR HAR HAR.

Sorry, Bush Jr. Even members of your own party didn't vote for you. I guess we voters are The Deciders, now.

Stop playing games with troop lives. Get the funding rolling and support the troops in action.
