The Capitol of Douche-dom
The summer of douche culture continues. I may be on the liberal side, so I tend to try to understand what Democrats are up to in the Senate, but this slumber party debate was bullshit.
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
The idea was to make Republicans look bad, and to try and convince other, not just the 4 they knew would vote for withdrawal from Iraq, to defect. Didn't happen, everyone ended looking like a gaseous bag of douche and us taxpayers are stuck for a goddamn takeout pizza bill. Hope you guys got heartburn.
I understand they have to keep up anti-war momentum by holding these motions and writing up Amendments. But why bother if you know you don't have the votes. Party lines die hard. You assholes missed the boat when you approved the supplemental. And these Republican jackasses making the same noise, purely driven by the '08 elections, all to no avail.
So Bush's numbers are going to continue to fall, big deal. He got what he wanted, more troops to do whatever. I don't know exactly what the strategy is, but I hope it really is something other than conquer and hold. I'll leave it up to the generals. If nothing substantive can be told of this surge until September 15, so be it. Civilian oversight is necessary, but they can chill out for 8 fucking weeks. Can't wait for them to go on vacation.
There is good news, however, in Iraq, as far as their government goes. The Sunnis and Al Sadr's Shiites are back in Parliament after a boycott, so at least they have a full room of guys to voice their grievances, or simply express their lust for power. If you're going to have a bipartisan democracy, these guys have to show up. If American military can get out of their way and not undermine Al Maliki in the process of pursuing Al Quaeda, they could be alright. Maybe not. We'll see.

They want to appear radical to their leftist base and moderates who want to end the war. The Dems are all in on the same con. Did you catch Obama's fence straddling non-speech?
The narrative is that things get so bad in the fall that the dems are their to say "I told ya so." Iraq is unwinnable. Their so called "free" elections were a farce. No Iraqi army is going to die to protect a Maliki government. The powers that be want an endless american present to protect hopefully privatized oil fields.
Privatized oil fields, hey, how perfect. But will that whet the (possibly Hillary's) Dem greed and we hang out there, reap some oil bucks and say "It's gonna take a few years to fully withdraw?"
That's EXACTLY how it will go down. A Dem insider gets elected like Hillary, who says: "an immediate complete withdrawal wouldn't be 'prudent.' Iraq is a mess but it's not our fault." ka-ching.
