What The Democrats Delayed Could Have Saved Lives Of Americans In Iraq
Want to know what repeated, useless debate in the Senate by Surrendercrats accomplished? It delayed the building and deployment of life saving material like the MRAP vehicle, which I posted about back in April. Back in April I noted the hypocricy of the Surrendercrats who demanded these vehicles be deployed but then held up the funding for them while trying to push Bush to surrender Iraq to al-Qaeda. Now we see that these vehicles, which could have been going to the Iraq theatre in the coming months, coming out later:
In briefings with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, “he made crystal clear that vehicles delivered sooner within this calendar year was most important to him, as these vehicles offered the potential to increase the safety of our deployed forces,” Young said.
So far, the Pentagon has 6,415 MRAPs on order, Young said. On Tuesday, Gates asked Congress for permission to shift at least $1.2 billion more from other programs to speed up production of the vehicles. Military and congressional sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, had originally said that figure would be $1.3 billion.
Congress holds the purse strings, and the lives attached to those purse strings. These vehicles were able to start massive production months ago, but the partisan games of Pelosi and Reid left them in limbo. Apparently, given the silly slumber party Reid scheduled and his participation, the Dems aren’t losing much sleep over these things.
3,600+ lives could have been saved if Bush has waited to invade until the UN inspectors completed their task.
The Chimp is the beast with blood on his hands.
So, Sooth, how’s that impeachment of Bush working out so far? Think he’ll be out of office before January 20, 2009?
No matter how many times the Left repeats their mantra about the inspectors doesn’t make it true. We were all awake during this time.
The inspectors were booted out in the late 90’s. And Saddam was tricking them most of the time. Check it out. You might see some things, Lefties, that you don’t like.
And frankly, the fact that the Lefties BELIEVE that Saddam was allowing the inspectors in, is a joke.
And tell me this, how many times have the inspectors been WRONG? And how DEADLY can their wrongness be? OH, that’s right. We aren’t supposed to believe that the islamofacists want to chop our heads off. Riiiiiight.
And if Bush hadn’t waited to go to the UN as Baker insisted, we might have found more WMD’s and interrupted the insurgency plans.
Reliance on a corrupt and failed UN is for chumps. Is that how you define yourself, Sooth?

Sorry for the triple post. I’m traveling and on wi-fi.
