Zach LarkinsRATHER MISGUIDED
Has it come down to this? I know the Democrats of the USA want to cut and run from Iraq. I know they believe in ‘time-outs' instead of a swift kick in the rear end. I know they believe that prison rehabilitation actually works. I know more and more each day how misguided they are. But this is beyond comprehension.
They now want a provision in the war funding legislation that earmarks US$74 million for secure peanut storage. Shades of Jimmy Carter. I suppose if they don't get a guarantee that peanuts will be protected, they will cut off funding for all the troops far away making sure they can sleep peacefully at night.
President Bush was right when he said, "I like peanuts as much as the next guy, but I believe the security of our troops should come before the security of our peanut crop."
Hear hear!
And people wonder why the Republicans laugh at the Democrats.

Political Certainty
It may be unrealistic for Democrats to expect a full pull out by a certain date in the near future, but at least they are looking forward,
As to the "everything comes before the troops" nonsense, our troops have been sent into the midst of chaos, with inadequate supplies and armament, poor food supplied by Halliburton and in insufficient numbers.
There are a number of Americans who get their news from Fox News, believe the latest story from Washington with non-skeptical naivety. God bless them and thank the same God that they are diminishing in number.
