Kyl (R-AZ)on C-Span2: We most certainly are not losing the war.

[LittleApple81]

Saying that gives encouragement to the enemy. What would poor little Negroponte think he is being sent to if we say that?

WE (remember Tonto? who are "we" White man?") are in this war, he says.

We cannot say negative things because we are sending this message to the enemy.

1. Kyl is Vile...

I can not wait until Janet kicks him back to the nether regions of the Repuke party where he belongs.

[htuttle]

2. "We are winning every battle"

"We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
"We will have Peace with Honor!"

(But keep that helicopter warmed up...)

[LittleApple81]

13. Now Hatch. I give up. I reached my saturation point. n/t

[LittleApple81]

3. He says Rumsfeld did not know about the reports or the pictures.PLUUUEZE!!

[FlemingsGhost]

4. Iraq has the Tigris and Euphrates, "we" got denial.

The war is lost. Serves us right, too. It was an exercise in futility the very moment the first bomb fell.

How's that for "encouragement to the enemy?"
(And just when did the Iraqi people become our enemy? I thought we were liberating them...)

14. & assorted other little mites.

5. Please correct, Jon Kyl is from Arizona (AZ) not Arkansas!! n/t

[LittleApple81]

12. Thanks. Sorry. I would not want him either.nt

6. Now BROWNBACK (my senator, boohoo). NEGROPONTE

is wonderful, wonderful. He talked to soldiers in Iraq: glowing about schools, open democratic Iraq.
Problems,difficulties, people dead, giving their lives for freedom for people in Iraq and security of America.
I have heard his house payments are subsidized by fundie groups.

[LittleApple81]

7. He said remember why we are in Iraq. We know: OIL AND CONTRACTS

for Bush friends.

[LittleApple81]

8. Poll: Kurdish support Americans by over 90% - That was the same

BEFORE THE WAR, YOU DUMMY!!!

[LittleApple81]

9. Clinton mentioned: He wanted regime change. Why doesn't he

also say we DID NOT GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ UNDER Clinton?

[Neecy]

11. Brownback (Thumper-KS)

"This great cause, this worthy cause"....what a tool.

He mentions in passing the Kansans who have died in this debacle, then praises the mess. Now he's using a dead Kansas soldier to support the administration - I swear, these people are shameless.

[JETS]

10. How about we cancel the Presidential campaign

because criticizing King George II would bring comfort to the enemy, OK Sen. Vile???!! Give me a break!

[DinahMoeHum]

15. Who does he think he's fooling? Last week was the last straw.

In this kind of war, victory cannot happen by devastating the land and the people you are trying to help.

Military battles don't mean squat if the people you are trying to help don't support you.
Military victory cannot exist without political victory.
And * irretrievably lost the political part of the war last week, with regard to the peoples of the ME.
