Where Were You, 6 Years Ago Today?
My friend Ogre has a very good thought for today,
"It's not a day for campaigning. It's not a day for complaining. It's a day for remembering. The United States was attacked, plain and simple. Don't whine about why government hasn't given you enough. Don't complain about why something wasn't investigated. Just think back and remember. Thousands of people were killed on this day — simply because they were Americans."
Well that didn't work out well, did it? Instead, the lefty-loons have decided they would spend the day attacking a genuine American hero and Capital Hill!
"Anti-war Senate Democrats bluntly told Iraq commander General David Petraeus Tuesday his troop surge strategy was an abject failure in its prime objective — forging an Iraqi political settlement.

Several Senate Republicans also expressed unease with US war policy, as the general and US ambassador to Baghdad Ryan Crocker endured a roasting on a second day of high-stakes testimony to Congress.
Petraeus repeated his contention that the surge was working, and said US forces could gradually be reduced from their current 168,000 strength, to pre-surge levels of around 130,000 by mid 2008.
But committee chairman Senator Joseph Biden said: "we should stop the surge and start bringing our troops home."
The past couple of days makes you wonder if Congress is trying to get their numbers down to single digits. Their behavior to General Petraeus is truly despicable & disgusting, and they deserve to be tossed out of office!
Expecting such things, I refused to watch or read the news that day. Ghouls, the lot of them.
