Bush cuts Congress off at the knees - sends 3200 troops into Baghdad
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6283817.stm

<snip>
More than 3,000 US troops have arrived in Baghdad, the first deployment of extra forces promised for the Iraqi capital by US President George W Bush.

As the deployment began, the US military said four soldiers and one marine had been killed in the restive western province of Anbar.

<snip>
The 3,200 extra troops sent to Baghdad are the advance guard of a 21,500-strong deployment ordered by President Bush earlier this month.

Before he can really fuckup again. Like invading Iran or NKorea or any other country.
This nitwit is trying to start WWIII for fun and profiteers.

3. Ms. Pelosi was correct. RUSHING troops into harm's way.
Political pawns are all these soldiers are.

4. Bush has been marginalizing Congress - often times with their consent
from the get-go. The 109th Congress was a welcome mat of abuse...practically begging Bush to be their King. While the rubber-stampers gained in some way..probably in $$$$ - America lost (and not just America)...stand up for America or my own personal government gravy train...hmmm...we know what they chose.

6. They only regret the added money public office brought them
but they'll still make money and profit from their actions while in office...those not facing jail terms

7. Yup. And he'll cut 'em off again when
he unilaterally bombs Iran. Congress and the American people will wake up one morning soon to discover it all happened the night before and it's too goddamn late. He's also cutting off the legs of Pelosi's infamous table --- the one impeachment is off.

8. The unitary executive dictator must be stopped. We will come up with a way under the constitution.
