It irritates me for sure. I notice he declined to say how many more billions he's asking for this time.
Yep, and Congress has still failed to pass a federal budget for the year. In fact, current indications are that they don't plan on passing one at all. And while I understand that this acts in ways to limit federal spending, I'm also dismayed by the inability of the current crop of politicians to deal with issues of money.

MR. RUSSERT: "Would you send more American troops in order to stabilize the situation?"
REP. PELOSI: "Yes."- Nancy Pelosi on 'Dateline' May 30, 2004 (and on many other occassions)

"We want to do everything we can to help Iraq succeed in the future but, like many of our senior military leaders, we do not believe that adding more U.S. combat troops contributes to success,"- Nancy Pelosi January 10, 2006.
The Republicans are stuck in an awful situation of their own creation (with Democrat's help). They don't have the ability to define a face-saving way out. On the other hand, the Democrats have built their whole platform on criticising the Republicans at every turn without providing any new thought leadership of their own. Now that they have the majority, Dems don't seem to know how to genuinely lead.
Nobody gets out of this one easily. Some basic competance in Washington would be nice at this point.

I saw the last few minutes of it but didn't really hear much as I was busy ranting to the wife about what a psychotic little, short arsed, pretend cowboy but terrified of horses, brain dead, school yard bully, toss pot he is. No offence George. Just say it like I see it.

Re: This makes me shiver
It was mentioned a while back that there were only 3 options:
1) Go Big
2) Go Long
3) Go Home
IMHO, I think Dubya has picked the wrong option.
But - I think there is another one - Go Nucular <dubya sic>
Why not glass the place, and the rest of the middle east whilst th'all are over there too.
Make the place uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years and that'll sort the F#@r's out.

Re: This makes me shiver
So we didn't send the troops that we should have sent in the first place, that the military requested. Now what?
What concerns me is that as we withdraw troops, the troops left are in an ever worsening state of security themselves. Who's going to turn out the lights?

Re: This makes me shiver
America's men and women in uniform took away al-Qaeda's safe haven in Afghanistan - and we will not allow them to re-establish it in Iraq.
Just like a Hollywood movie, all on their f*ing own again.
Victory will not look like the ones our fathers and grandfathers achieved.
There will be no surrender ceremony on the deck of a battleship.
We're looking at the helicopters off of the Embassy roof scenario again.

Re: This makes me shiver
I'm at the stage now where I have to go all "LA LA LA LA LA LA NOT LISTENING TO YOU BUSH! LA LA LA LA LA LA"
Otherwise I 'd either cry in frustration or put my head through the screen.

This is the scariest one
On one side are those who believe in freedom and moderation. On the other side are extremists who kill the innocent, and have declared their intention to destroy our way of life.
In the long run, the most realistic way to protect the American people is to provide a hopeful alternative to the hateful ideology of the enemy - by advancing liberty across a troubled region.
