Carter blasts Bush (Lord Luv ya Jimmy!)

[Keith]

I also thought Carter was a weak president, but definitely a great person.

However, he backs off, and now the Democratic congress is backing down to Bush but removing the timetable deadline in the bill - of course, the media is now saying how Bush has this great victory. Victory? Not in Iraq- we have screwed up so badly over in that country. The strongest nation in the world against a two bit dictator with a weak military and going into our 5th year and things are worse than ever. We've lost - 9 soldiers yesterday - whether we stay or pull out, a disaster is Irag. Sad, sad, sad.

As a taxpayer - I don't mind paying my share - but lets find the 2.3 trillion dollars that is missing from the Defesne budget - stop asking me for more money and dig in to the pockets of those who are stealing the money. Haliburton, Blackwater, etc.

Since the democrats have backed down, why don't they all just pack up and go home and let Bush become the sole leader of our nation. Just enact into law the May 9 directive he issued stating that if another event like 911 happens, then he can declare martial law and take over all the government - most of Americans probably don't know about this - I know the media was too occupied with the Paris Hilton and Britney Spears story to report it.. but it's true. Bush/Cheney needs to go - but I really don't think most of this country really cares. Sad, sad, state of affairs.
