I see the cut and run congress is at it again way to go dumbasses show weakness to our enemies and sell us out in the sandbox , we should do a recall vote on every congressman that voted on that, first they vote to send us over here then they won’t fund us or equipment now they vote to bring us home before the job is over what bullshit what kind of message does that send ??? congress is nothing but a bunch of defeatist cowards
Joe, darling, you took the words right out of my mouth!
Joe….It’s a damn shame you and all of our Military have to be half way around the world and have to listen to the INSANITY coming out of Washington….
If they are going to Cut and Run then we should UNLEASH EVERY MAJOR WEAPONS SYSTEM that we possess on the entire country of Iraq so there won’t be anything left for these ISLAMIC MONSTERS to take over . And i am dead serious about that …. I have had enough of their bullshit …..These socalled Professional Politicians are the only reason our Nation is in the sad state that it is and has been for several year now…Hell ,Decades..
They may be Americans , but i Despise these SOB’s as much as i Despise Al Qaida….Every last one of them that has undermined our Military’s efforts to accomplish the mission they were sent over there for CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL as far as i’m concerned .
Joe, i wish you a safe and speedy return as i wish for all the Men and Women serving in harms way….And i hope to God you don’t ever have to go back ….
I’m going to go calm down because I’m Pissed …I’m Pissed Off and Ashamed of what My country is doing to all of these truly Great and Honorable Warriors….THEY DO NOT DESERVE THIS!!!!
Could someone please publish a list of which way each one of those sniveling sycophants voted. Treasonous individuals who should be run out of Washington on a rail, Preferably with the rail in a vertical position. They are such a sickening bunch of self serving bastardos spreading their “El Toro Poopoo” or ” Bovine Scatology” as General Swartzcoff (sic) put it.
Joe66 - Do not lose heart!
“Evil thrives when good men do nothing.” The Eagles will not allow evil to thrive.
I am so p—— off. I cannot believe they would do that to the troops. They do not deserve the support, safety, and freedom that each Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, Marine or Coast Guardsmen has secured for them.
Not a one of them would equal a pimple on a piss poor privates ass.
So much for that!!!!!!!!!
We must remain united, we must remain committed, we must prevail, and we must not fail. We must let every one of them know by raising as many voices as possible - that we are not the silent majority!
Nevefr Again!!!
They are about to leave for their summer vacation and not go back until after Labor Day. During that time every Eagle should send their congressman a picture of or an actual yellow or white flag with the words “Official Surrender Flag of the Dishonorable ( and the congressmans name).
Politicians abandoned the troops and the country in Vietnam and are about to abandon them again. They have abdicated their responsibility.
Members of the Eagles that have the knowledge should put together a document outlining all the charges against every member of congress that constitutes treason and a failure to live up to their oath and then selected members of the Eagles - perhaps fifty - one representing each state should hold a moot court and
(sorry my heart monitor went off - lol) continuation of the above thought.
court and have someone prosecute, someone attempt to defend and then convict and sentencve them for their treasonous act. If nothing more it would tell them someone is watching, someone is listening, and someone sees them for what they really are.
They stand disgraced before the grave of every servicemember who has ever “been sacrificed on the altar of freedom”.
Oops there goes the montior again!!!
correction- - monitor!!
Those who voted today fully expect the general public to forget within 48 hours.
IIn the halls of Congress we are on par with sheep, as we fall out and vote them back in year after year.
Make your personal list of elected surrender monkeys, next time up go out to defeat them, collect alum. cans to fund anything or anyone who will run against them.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend…period
Word will travel fast in the halls of Congress.
One of the penalties of refuseing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors/
Plato
Someone please post a list of how the House Members Voted as soon as it becomes available…. I’m afraid it will take a mushroom cloud over a major American city to make these so called elected leaders, and their moonbat sheep to realize we are truly at war.
May I give four good reasons why we must finish the fight in Iraq?
Go here watch all four video’s, will help you focus.

Common sense tells us that most of Congress is a group of Progressives (read Socialist/Communists), Quislings and Fifth Columnists. Our Republic is in grave danger if this group is allowed to prevail.
The only good thing about this situation is that Bush still has the veto and will use. However, I get the feeling that survivability of the Republican party is fast taking precedence over our national security in Congress.

NOW will we write the letters, make the phone calls and send the faxes !!!!!
IF NOT US, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
P.S.
Contact not only those who voted Yea but call and thank those who stand with you as well !!
Might want to tell those who didn’t vote to get off the damn fence. They remind me of John Edwards when he was one of our Senaturds.
P.S.S.
Thanx for the emails Mr Diehl and Brother Mike.
I flipped a coin and it came up TAILS !!!
Thank you both.
Mr S
I’ll see you in Charlotte. Let me know When & where !!
Jumpin’ back up
Soapbox
IF NOT US, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
its interesting, they talk about how bad the government in Iraq is- is our congress the example the Iraqi government is following? ( the pot calling the kettle black)
Don’t forget to write the faxes to the wavering/ Senators also:
ask these questions of our esteemed wafflers::
YOU will embolden our enemy to transport their DEATHWISH Jihadism, YOU will allow our enemy to kill by the millions in the countries we abandon, and You will Thrust a Knife into the back of our Might and Military. I ask WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF WINNING A WAR?
Do you Senator or House Rep want this jihad death to come here? Do you Senator or House Rep want the Blood and Torture of Millions on your Hands…AGAIN? Do you want to tell our military that you just used them for your own political gain “at that moment”?
I ask again WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF WINNING A WAR? I want an answer.
God Bless the moderate Moslem. They will die in Iraq, Afghanistan North Africa- Like they do every other place Congress has a Running Yellow Streak. And those moderate Moslems in this country… do you think they will “suddenly” have ANY influence on those that love hate and death? Do you really? Then you believe a Lie. Not a Chance will that happen!
I ask WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS, Petraeus, and WINNING A WAR against jihadist and those that are willing to murder any that oppose their view? I want an answer.
I could tell you what HAS happened in Sudan and What WILL happen in Iraq and what DID happen 30 years ago in Cambodia and surrounding areas. BUT YOU KNOW the ANSWER.
It was not American Troops that lost or will lose but the TURN AND RUN lowlifes in Congress that LOVE their backend and their “seat” more than the USA and US Military!
Many American Congress Representatives, then and now, HATE the fact that AMERICA CAN WIN A WAR more than they hate the jihadism and Terrorist of this world.
So, Are you with the USA or Against the USA?
Do YOU love what the USA stands for or do you HATE IT?
IF you Love it are YOU going to FIGHT FOR IT?
Are YOU going to risk everything for it?
Like our Military Has NOW and in the PAST?
part of a letter I faxed
I am so angry right now, that I need to wait before I try to put it into words! Crummy, no conscience, two faced politicians trying to stick it to our troops again… and for what? Political gain. Got plenty of expletives rolling around right now, but won’t print them here. Arrrggggghh!!!
Soapbox…….A Big HELL YEA from Suffolk……It’s 4:30 here…..Stopped by before going to work and am glad i did!!
Eagles Way UUUP !!!!!!
DeputyDawg……..Thanks For the list….My finger hurts just thinkin’ about it….Ha!
Joe66,not to worry.I know this is a slap in the face of all that serve,but this will NOT pass.We will fight it as if it would,but there is not a snowballs chance in hell this legislation will survive.GOD BLESS all you troops,YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Well this leave s me bitter history repeats itself once again the retards we elect to congress and the senate sit in office and get fat off the hard work and sweat of the common american citizen they sit there oblivious to the real world they try to give our country away to illegal immigrants and give millions of them amnesty they quit supporting the president because he isn’t in their party or they disagree with him because he says something they don’t like , I am glad Al Gore or John Kerry aren’t in office or John Edwards either and god help us if Hillary or obama gets in office. It’s a GODDAMN SHAME for what we elect to represent us! Congress and the Senate sold out our troops during VietNam and they are gonna do it again and blame someone else like always The Viet Nam vets did not lose that war our politicians did because they didn’t have the balls to finish the job then and they don’t have them now.Record the name of every Senator and Congressman who votes yes on pulling the troops out then when America is attacked again you have a list of the guilty they sold out the troops and America when they voted yes and all because elections are coming up Pathetic defeatocrats good luck at winning the white house in 08. RECALL!!!!! that is a word we should look really hard at we need to recall all who voted to cut and run RECALL RECALL RECALL that is the only way we will make the cowards listen and hear us RECALL!!!! What congress did they just hung us out to dry Listen up you congressional rats from this point on every service member that is wounded or killed in the war on terror is on your heads I personally hold you cowards responsible you sniveling bastards what the hell is wrong with you ??? I wish one of you had the guts to answer me but I bet you don’t
Something to think about..For thirty years I have advocated that people Register as Independents..I vote for people not party’s..If 55% of registered voters, registered as Independents, the politician couldn’t assume a certain amount of party votes then work up from there…They would have to work for for all there votes. We would get a better class of politician. One who knows that if he/she doesn’t do their job they will be out in the next election.. Also term limits on Senators & Congressman . Ten years Max……………
NC Eagles, we’re in the process of getting rid of Walter P. Jones (R) who voted for this bill. We want to replace him with RET. ARMY MAJOR JOE MCLAUGHLIN. The Major took the time to visit us on Military Appreciation Day last May 19.
Also, like my friend and shipmate Jim Diehl says, by registering Independant, you take away all the partisan empowerment they think the have. You can’t vote in the primaries but who cares? Make them work for your vote. Keep them guessing as to how you’ll vote right up until the end. Make them sweat!
Yakfisher, proud Independant who has never voted a straight party ticket!
Notify these traitors (human debris) that they will not receive one penny for their campaigns and no volunteers. Let them beg on the streets. Sorry, but I can’t post what I really think of them or I will be thrown off the website.
Yakfisher We cant get rid Walter B. Jones soon enough !!!
yesterday and the day before was to late!! How much longer is this jacka$$ going to not represent us
We need a Recall
Muppet,,,Is this what you wanted tosay::@#%^&()*)($%@(_*&%**(>>>>>>…….
Jim, that helps, but my blood pressure is still too high.
Here’s a link for sending appropriate comments to these “in-your-face” arrogant elitists.

Jim D. …………..#22 You’re Damn Right!!!!
Eagles UUUP!!!!
All- I have to tell you that as I walked the halls of the Atlanta Home Dec Show today, I saw an empty building which used to burst at its seams with bustling buyers looking for the next big retail “hit.”
I was saddened as I overheard a woman complaining about how she must close her store because she cannot get people to shop. I became enraged when the next comment she produced was, “The economy is so bad because we, as Americans, just had to elect the most retarded man in the USA as President…this damn war in Iraq has ruined us all!”
I was shocked and though, in a professional setting, was about to become unglued! As she approached me I lightly touched the bold pin of the American Flag on my breast and smiled wanly at her.
It was then that a heart-breaking satisfaction and patriotic pride soared thru my whole being as the woman she was walking with quietly whispered- “My son died in this ‘damn war’ so that you could continue keeping your doors open to commerce and free trade rather than close them under a dictator rule defined by old world religion.”
With that she turned on her heel and walked away.
The woman stood there with her mouth open and a look of horror on her face and as my eyes met hers and she realized I had overheard the conversation; it was then that the severity of what had transpired struck her and tears rolled down her cheeks.
I walked over to her and said, “Ma’am, that woman and her son represent America and you have been weighed, measured, and found wanting. God Bless You.”
As I walked away I meditated on the event and realized that this “minute” occurrence changed three women’s lives forever; a lamb became a lioness, a dove became an eaglet, and an eaglet became an Eagle- as the evolution of America should be.
May this event inspire you as it did me. God Bless and Eagles–Soar!
With all my love,
Gabi
GOOD JOB GABI
Thank you Gabi,,,,,,,,,,,”TRUE EAGLES UP NOW”
