Hi Lee,

I was glad to see today that the Senate is opening discussion of removing the
troops from Iraq.  Not that it will most likely speed the process immediately,
but having Senators go on record could make a difference in the future.

I'm also waiting to see the roll call of votes.  The expected totals are
different depending on "where" you read <g>.. That's not unexpected though :)

This I believe is understood by most people in the U.S.


>> LL>The president is still nuts, refusing to bring our troops home.

>> He won't listen to the people, that's for sure.

True - certainly with the recent news of faulty New Orleans' pumps one has to
wonder how these people can sleep at night.

On a different note, today I read that AG Gonzales refuses to consider
resigning.. and Bush says he supports him totally.. Where have we heard that
before?  "You're doing a great job, Brownie", followed by "Brownie's"
resignation..  Rumsfeld? "He has my full support and deepest appreciation."..
and then he resigned.. so maybe this is a 'premonition' ... or deja vu <g>

> Gee.  Truman could have been talking about Bush...

True, except Bush wasn't really in uniform much at all.. how long was he MIA?
:)

> Is it any wonder that Bush's approval ratings are a mere 29 percent?

Hey, I see they are up to 30%.. depending where you check <g>

:)

Take care,
Janis
