Anyone watching "Dana Perino
She claims that the congress does not have the right to micro-manage the war. Let's see now. Congress has to give the president the right to go to war, spend as much as he wants without oversight, and no member in congress has the right to seek peace with the enemy.

2. They're not. Plain and simple.
Now, if they were reviewing and approving military operations that would be 'micro-managing'. They've approved funds for the Prez to the last dime, and if the fool would get a clue he could embrace it and come out smelling like a rose.

Instead, he chooses to pick another fight and pretend he's a tough guy. Pffft! He's a fool.

6. He's holding the troops in front of him like a shield
Reminds me of the criminal that is faced with a wall of cops and grabs the person closest to them and points a gun to their head.

5. I guess that makes it Bush's war and Bush's war alone.
He top dog, the big cheese, head honcho, the decider. It's all his fault and if the world court is looking for someone to charge with a war crime then it's him.

7. She also said something to the effect of this...
When questioned about what the American public wanted...

Yes, the lying weasel is aware of the American public wanting a change in direction in Iraq, and they got it.

Ummmm...someone needs to tell her that a surge was not exactly what the American people had in mind.

9. The President has the right to be stupid
but that doesn't mean we have to put up with it.
