They should have been tossed the moment they broke the dress code...
When they walked in the door...
.... and interesting that the General's microphone didn't work for the first minutes of his testimony.....

Not to worry--Congress agreed that the President should consult, assess, prepare and submit a report.
you weren't just supporting the troops. you were trying to imply that others don't.
guess what?
almost everyone and their pomeranian supports the troops.
It is being written by the white house. There is no actual written report from Petraus
hmmm. seat are awfully comfy on the bandwagon, aren't they? too bad it's pulled by a team wearing blinders.
What bandwagon? According to spike, Cerise & I are the only supporters of the war in America.
Dude, you must really be paranoid.
I was reaffirming because of statements "I've" made.
I promise you it had nothing to do with the line that aren't there that you are trying to read between.
As far as moveon.org, I don't believe they DO support the troop.
I couldn't care less about what you support, or anyone else that doesn't support.
I DO care when certain people of position in our government bad mouth them though.
I can't make it much clearer than that.
If you still think I'm insinuating something else, it sounds like a personal problem.
It’s hard to fathom how much of the rhetoric surrounding the war on terror, Bin Laden, Iraq and the overall question of national security is due to the 2008 presidential campaign, and how much is simply due to the human propensity for leaking hot air. No sooner was the Bin Laden tape released than Democrats began shouting that our failure to capture him was emblematic of our failure to wage a successful war against Al Qaeda. Which was naturally followed by the chorus of “We’re less safe than before 9/11”.
Only a moron, a politician looking to get elected, or a combination of the two, would honestly believe that we are not safer now than we were at 9/11. There has been a tremendous amount of progress made within the intelligence and law enforcement communities on key processes and procedures that has our information collection, analysis, coordination and cooperation between the various agencies working better than it did six years ago.

WHITE HOUSE STATISTICS CONFUSE AND DISTORT
Despite Republican claims that casualties and sectarian violence in Iraq are down, the numbers tell a different story:
Washington Post — “Recent estimates by the media, outside groups and some government agencies have called the military’s findings into question. The Associated Press last week counted 1,809 civilian deaths in August, making it the highest monthly total this year…” [Washington Post, 9/6/07]
Associated Press - “This year’s U.S. troop buildup has succeeded in bringing violence in Baghdad down from peak levels, but the death toll from sectarian attacks around the country is running nearly double the pace from a year ago.” [AP, 8/25/07]
Los Angeles Times - “Bombings, sectarian slayings and other violence related to the war killed at least 1,773 Iraqi civilians in August, the second month in a row that civilian deaths have risen, according to government figures obtained Friday.” [LA Times, 9/1/07]
Icasualties.org - June, July and August 2007 marked the bloodiest summer so far for U.S. troops in Iraq with 264 soldiers killed. [icasualties.org]
Do dems know something about Petraeus that the rest of America doesn't know?
Why would they withhold that information?
