20,000 troops actually equals about 5,000 boots on the ground for the stated purposes (which we can bet are more lies, given this administration’s track record).

This fact makes it impossible that this presidential action is anything other than political.

He is testing this new congress in a game of very dangerous political chicken. If they do not stand up now, he will see it as political cowardice, and roll right on over them on his way to Iran. If they do stand up to the idiot prince, they can be blamed for the loss of Iraq.

It is time for every citizen to come to the aid of his/her country, including our congress-critters. This is no longer a matter of Right and Left, GOP or the Democrats.

The independents and the moderates have spoken, at the polls.

To defy us, is a dangerous thing to do, for congress-critters and presidents.
