He's the one who made the comment awhile ago about meeting with Bush on Iraq and being disappointed by Bush's lack of knowledge or some-such.
He might ask some good questions.
Tennessee Senator Bob Corker raised some eyebrows at a luncheon at the Chattanoogan hotel Tuesday with remarks about President Bush.
Speaking to a crowd of about 500 supporters, led by Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey, Corker spoke about a range of issues, including energy, healthcare, and his experiences during his first year as a Senator.
But his remarks about his experiences with the White House during meetings on the war in Iraq left some in the crowd befuddled.
"I was in the White House a number of times to talk about the issue, and I may rankle some in the room saying this, but I was very underwhelmed with what discussions took place at the White House," Corker said.
"Forever Wrong: Five Years of John McCain on Iraq."
For the details on John McCain confusing friend and foe in Iraq, see:
"Four Strikes and You're Out: McCain on Al Qaeda and Iran."
If Corker says uh, uh, uh anymore i will throw something at the computer.
We have had 5 years of no answers, no solutions, no way to pull out. It will take a strong person to simply say, Bring the boys and girls home. What is more important the illusion of winning by beating some Arabs who have no tanks, no planes, no humvees, no rocket launchers, but know how to dig a hole, bury a bomb and have an American vehicle drive over it.
Where are the 400,000 Iraqi's we trained the last time Petraeus talked to us.
such a maverick.
Where did you find your texas icon... would love to get one for myself
I am listening to the Corker/Petraeus hearing. It is amazing that the Republicans still support this war.
It's not so amazing. The Rove/DeLay assault on the Republican party included removing anyone with the ability to think and act for themselves and replacing them with dim-witted ideologues. This is what has killed the Republican party.
It's the same thing JohnPaul and Bernie the Rat did with the Catholic church. Anyone who showed any signs of intellect or independence was removed and replaced with dimwitted bishop and cardinals who would toe the right-sing line.
Bottom line: to late the train as left the station... and the GOP is no where to be found on that train!
And what's with Susan Collins, she sounds sickly?
sorry i just now saw your question...
i did google images for 'blue texas' i think, and found pics that way...
good luck!
Imaginary ends justify corrupt means...
Again.
Actually, your talking point regurgitation is beyond silly.

Join me for the next war, won't you?
That was back in January 2001.
And call it what it is, McCain's idea of "victory" is just STALEMATE. That's the best he can hope for at this point.
SImply untrue. Big, fat rightwing lie.
Latest Gallup Poll
When asked the following:
"If you had to choose, which do you think is better for the U.S. -- to keep a significant number of troops in Iraq until the situation gets better, even if that takes many years, or to set a timetable for removing troops from Iraq and to stick to that timetable regardless of what is going on in Iraq?"
35% said "Stay"
60% said "Leave" REGARDLESS of what is going on.
There have been 3 or 4 other polls that have reflected the same feeling.
it's only when Saddam decided to take off his CIA leash that Dubbya 1 got pissy with him.
Saddam was no danger to the US, and yet his country was wiped out for a neocon pipedream of easily accessible oil.
As for the rest of that piffle you spouted, you cannot simply impose democracy on that kind of culture and expect it to work. It has to grow organically in tune with the cultural tenets at hand, and since Iraq is basically a big religious/tribal mess, it won't take hold.
It's one big clusterfuck for stupid, shortsighted short-term strategic gain.. just like Iraq's befriending int he 80's, or the support for Bin Laden's mujahideen in Afghanistan, or the central american rebels trying to overthrow legally elected governments...
The US needs to stop sticking its fucking fingers in every hot pie and then complaining when it realizes it got burnt.
the only option is to remove all troops and beg forgiveness from the world.
anything else will only kill, maim and injure more human beings for nothing.
