Yes!!! At Last!!!

Bush's outrageousness is finally pissing off the folks in Washington. Here's some names:

Sen. Chuck Hagel, Nebraska (Republican)
Sen. Olympia Snowe, Maine (Republican)
Sen. Joseph Biden, Delaware (Democrat)
Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan (Democrat)

Favorite quote for January: Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican and potential 2008 presidential candidate, joined Democrats at a news conference announcing the resolution. "I will do everything I can to stop the president's policy as he outlined it Wednesday night," Hagel said. "I think it is dangerously irresponsible."

It's good when people can finally admit the emperor's clothing is not really there. Took 'em long enough, but that's another story. I'm just going to be happy there's some inkling of leadership taking place.

And what a beautiful headline: "Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) has authored a measure that would prohibit President Bush from increasing troop levels in Iraq without congressional approval."

I heard the comments he made, and I'm very pleased there's someone at this level talking some truth finally. He said something to the effect that when the war started the Senate was sold a bill of good about the weapons of mass destruction; the weapons were never found and we have started a civil war by displacing a strong leader from Iraq. While the US made a mess of things because of the unprovoked military attack, it was largely due to Bush's lies. Thus, Bush should be held responsible, not the US military and the citizens who are being asked to pay for the meglo-maniac's insanity.
