Russia had a satellite circling the earth while we were saying that we were going to in the future..

We dropped our astronauts in the water while they landed theirs on the land.

They developed engines that were more powerful than ours thus they could move larger items into space.

They built the first working space station in space.

They sent a space ship to rescue our astronauts on the international space station under construction when they were stranded there.

I would assume when a nation is 1st they would be experts.

Our problem stems from the big white hat we are trying to wear.   It falls down over our ears and eyes thus we see nothing, hear nothing and speak nothing for fear of critics.

Don't tell me you will buy me a ticket to go there because they have closed borders under their control while we have uncontrolled open border.

Ever notice how some posties drag the thread down with self serving comments at the expense of those of us who continue to try to be informative, provoking, and productive. At least they are consistent. What poltical force does that type behavior remind you of?

It's presumptuous to think that a switch from narrowly leading Republican majority to a narrowly leading Democratic majority would effect big-time changes. The margin is too small.



So why was that argument never valid when the GOP had a narrow majority?  It seems to be a valid excuse only now for those who are carrying the water for the Democrat party.

I think it proves the point that the only reason Democrats banded together to oppose the war only did so to gain seats in the House and Senate.  They had no intentions of doing anything substantive about the war.

This has resulted in half-truths to downright lies for the sake of political expediency being crammed down our throats from party operatives on both sides.

Problem is, no one in Washington seems to care anymore about what is truly best for America.  All they seem to be interested in is who has the most seats in Congress and who is going to wind up as President in '08.

There's a resolution about Iraq today. More are coming.

Let's face it -- change in Washington at the legislative level moves at the speed of mud. The de-funding of the Vietnam War took many months and tons of debate, and even then, Nixon headed it off at the pass and decided to compromise on th issue.

The new Congress has barely gotten started on the issue.

A NON-BINDING resolution- which does absolutely nothing but waste time in "officially" telling the president what he already knows.

A non-binding resolution and the hours of debate leading up to it are nothing but a pure waste of time.  Why are they not utilizing this time to work on binding resolutions.

Nothing is going to happen, period. It's too close to a presidential election for the libs to be making waves.

We'll see. There's still stuff coming through committee.

I think a bunch of politicians -- on both sides -- are waiting to see what the so-called "surge" produces. If it fails to do much, watch the binding war resolutions start coming in earnest.

Sorry Im late for the show, I didnt think it was worth responding.  What, with the rapture coming and all.  Actually, maybe the point is moot.  Who cares about the war in Iraq?  The rapture should pretty well end any questions about should we be there or not.

Back in the real world... the Democratically controlled Congress will do the same thing the Republican controlled Congress did. They will primarily do their best to stay in power by doing what they think is popular and paying no attention to either their stated ideology nor what is best for the Nation in the long run.  

Per the war in Iraq, this means they will do nothing of substance.
