The Fire At FireDogLake

Update: Jules makes note, as well.

Looks like whatever fire they have going at FireDogLake has resulted in a total meltdown. Bush should be impeached for holding our troops "hostage". And they wonder why we call them the nutroots.

Last night we heard the President of the United States declare that he would refuse to allow US troops to come home from Iraq until they achieved “success” as he and only he defined success. “Return on success,” he told the troops, adding that “the more successful we are, the more can come home.”

Mr. Bush also called for Congress and the American people to unite behind his polices. He did not ask for their guidance, nor offer to work out a united policy in genuine consultations with both parties. His approach was unilateral, as it has always has been.

What should Congress do with a President that defiantly tells the nation that he will hold over 100,000 soldiers hostage unless they achieve a “success” that is essentially undefined and likely unachievable? Has Congress so limited its constitutional role that there is nothing more to do but send the hostages more weapons and rations and tend to their wounds and their families?

Is it possible they don't understand the concept of "commander-in-chief"? It's obvious they don't have a clue as to the military mindset.

God these people are so dumb it is breath taking. If it wasn't for the fact that they have some how fooled a large number of people into voting for them it would be funny.
