White House: "This legislation would substitute the political judgment of legislators for the considered professional military judgment of our military commanders," according to an administration statement.

Um. Did I miss something? Where is our party's response to this pathetic perversion of our system?

Our leaders in Congress surely know that they are supposed to be in charge of the generals and not the other way around...

1. Oh, as if THEY really listened to the generals either.
They initiated the war without listening to anyone but the military yes-men, threw out any of the military folks who disagreed, and have since ONLY listened to those willing and able to bounce back their ideological nitwittery.

3. Q: How come Harry Reid hasn't said that yet?

That's my question.

Is it just me, or is that... Doesn't any elected Democrat have the guts to say what you just said?

Maybe I shouldn't post when I am really pissed off. But how the hell can Junior and his minions get away with sayng something that stupid and outrageous?

6. I really wish I knew.
Maybe they should surgically implant a constituent-to-congresscritter 1-way radio so we can give them responses they SHOULD be using to this crap.

4. Yeah but..., but..., but... Our commander in chief does not have the same control
over us civilians as he does the military. He has to do this, see?
