Biden’s Iraq Response:
Too Little, Too Late

9/5/06, 6:31 pm EST

Now that support for the Iraq war and its chief architect Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld are at an all-time low, Sen. Joe Biden and the Democrats are finally taking their shots. But the attacks are a canard, writes Matt Taibbi:

“What Rumsfeld actually represents to the Democrats is a means of attacking the Republicans on the Iraq issue without having to explain their own vote in support of the invasion….”

Check out Matt Taibbi’s latest column and share your thoughts below.

A lot of the Republicans running for re-election right now are trying to distance themself from the administration and the war. By pushing the ‘no-confidence’ vote, Democrats are asking the Republicans to put their money where there mouth is. Do they think the war is going poorly, and people need to be held responsible, or are they going to put the interest of their party before the interest of the people?
The Democrats playing politics, but at least their doing SOMETING.

And the Republicans are trying to accuse Sen. Biden of “Too Little, Too Late”.

Isn’t that Bush’s moniker for 9/11 and Katrina? He seems to own the title…….

But he is lightening in a bottle when it comes to attacking and destroying countries without basis. Or appointing Supreme Court Justices……

C Co... aka I Smell Propaganda | 9/6/2006, 11:00 pm EST

Ladies and gentlemen:

Cake- the ignorant extremist liberal

Don- the intellegent, reasonable liberal

They are symbolic of the types Democrats running for office these days. Learn the difference and pick the right representative.

I cant tell whether I love you or hate you. I can say that you are very entertaining and hard hitting. Keep up the good work.

Michael, thanks for fixing the link.

Today at vastleft.com, see one of Bush’s most memorable quotes yet…

I don’t think that comment about this war lasting longer than WWII should be allowed to go unchallenged, regardless of my opposition to the Iraq war. The allies occupied Germany well into the 1950’s, and there was German resistance. The Iraq war, misguided as it was, ended when Saddam’s regime fell. What we have in Iraq now is a troubled post-war occupation with an organized resistance.

Capitalist Pig | 9/7/2006, 5:57 pm EST

Klaatu – You make a good point. While I do disagree with you on the war, you are right about the occupation of Germany. We did the same in Japan, and have been on the DMZ in Korea for 50years now. And when we waged war in WWII, it was all out war, no effor was made to try and not kill civillians, we decimated the enemy and his population.

Thanks, Matt, for saying all the kind of stuff I usually just mutter to myself under my breath.

Eddie Torres | 9/11/2006, 2:53 am EST

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Capita list Pig and Klaatu, Stop worrying about 1945 and 1952, you clowns. In those years, both of you would have had a life expectancy of 45 and a grand total of $520 to your names at death. You slobs. Your perspective on history reflects your obsession with conspiracy whores.

Jack D | 9/11/2006, 7:23 pm EST

Actually, KJB,
The hurtin would come to republicans regardless of their inability to govern anything but their own bank accounts if the masses of liberals actually voted. Thats why the Repugs keep winning.

Capitalist Pig | 9/11/2006, 8:11 pm EST

Jack D – You don’t seem to get it, the majority of this country is not liberal. Even if every libeal votes you are still outnumbered. The only reason the liberal agenda has found any success is because of activist judges creatively interpeting the constitution. That is really what has the left so pissed off now, they have lost the Supreme Court, so thier agenda is dead.

Let Them Eat Cake | 9/25/2006, 2:58 am EST

Taibbi seems to be another paid Republican hack…..

Lacking substance and facts-but so very Republican……

Ooooweeee, aren’t we impressed…..

Let Them Eat Cake | 9/25/2006, 3:17 am EST

What an idiot….

” All liberals don’t believe in God”- are all “Asians bad drivers”, all blacks “great dancers”, all Jews “great comedians”, all conservatives, “lousy lovers”(Whoops, that might actually be true)(Desperate enough to take Diebolds home)???

Let’s stop broad insane comments on people you seem to have no clue about….

“KJB” and “C co” are probably Green Zone refugees who only got part of the cash in their backpacks-the wonderful Republican way to show your “patriotism”…..Take Blood Money-you and your Party seem to feed off it…while our troops keep dying in Iraq…..

If anything, you better do a recount(Whoops, Repubes don’t like them words), more liberals than elephants…..

Liberals just have cheatin Repubes trying to toss out their votes…..You guys seem to Eat our Votes for Dinner or take them home to drool over and screw with–You must have really gnarly intestines…..

Hey, Repuby’s, played with any Diebold’s this month? You are so convinced there aren’t that many votes against your Fascist Party that, you will win–is that why you guys are so busy planning Cheat-Ins, again?????

What —– you goobers are…
