Iraq’s national government is refusing to take possession of thousands of American-financed reconstruction projects, forcing the United States either to hand them over to local Iraqis, who often lack the proper training and resources to keep the projects running, or commit new money to an effort that has already consumed billions of taxpayer dollars.
And as if that’s not bad enough, there’s this:
The United States often promotes the number of rebuilding projects, like power plants and hospitals, that have been completed in Iraq, citing them as signs of progress in a nation otherwise fraught with violence and political stalemate. But closer examination by the inspector general’s office, headed by Stuart W. Bowen Jr., has found that a number of individual projects are crumbling, abandoned or otherwise inoperative only months after the United States declared that they had been successfully completed.
Gotten bad enough for ya yet, you pathetic 28-percenters?
The only thing any these people ever understand is the big hammer approach … Butt … Unfortunatly the Big Hammer IE Impeachment is firmly planted up pelosi Ass.
If pelosi does nothing the blowback may cost the Dems 08 by folk not bothering to vote.

If you could explain exactly how an impeachment proceeds, that would be helpful.
Don’t be like Sheehan when asked about how she would make law if elected. She evidently has not ever considered taking civics, because she does not know how the congress works if her answer is any clue … and it is.
Dumping it totally on Pelosi is not accurate. Nor is that her position if Conyers is telling the truth.
He said that if HRes 333 picks up 17 sponsors, up from the current 14 sponsors, he will get a floor vote on it.
I trust you understand that he can’t do that without Pelosi’s ok?
So if you really want impeachment of Cheney to go thru call Ron Paul to get him to co-sponsor the bill.
That would leave only two more needed to reach 17.
Brad,
Here is another one that fits in this thread’s category.
The Iraqi’s do not like Patreas and the Iraqi government may ask Washington to recall him.
I guess that would be a surgeical reversal by Dr. Maliki? Things are getting curiouser and curiouser over there in Kansas.
I forgot to link to the story mentioned in post #3, so here is the link.
And while I am at it, can you believe that The FBI Says Gang Activity In Military “Threat To National Security” ????
I thought Hillary was the threat to security, not the troops !!!!!
Support the troops who are a threat to national security?
Oh my what color is the fear monger doin a heckuva job Homeland danger level today … red state red ????
And to top it off the bushie’s are acting like a whore who pays her Johns instead of them paying her!
The brilliant bushies send americans over to shock and awe then to build stuff for them.
The Iraqi’s go on vacation and say they do not want the stuff built for them, nor the General, and close with “the troops can leave at any time” but while they are here it is ok for us to kill them.
Meanwhile Saudi Arabia is sending troops into Iraq to fight the Shia the bushies put in power, and the bushies want to sell those Saudis billions in weapons while at the same time telling them to stop incursions into Iraq.
As Iran amasses troops on the eastern border and Turkey amasses troops on the Northern border.
You are doin a heckuva job bushies.
Pelosi is smart, she plays a chess game. She puts pressure on the Bush regime one move at a time, gradually pushing them to more and more outrageous claims as less and less people trust them. Smart.
But Pelosi plays it safe, sticks to the rules and doesn’t take risks. Is this really a winning strategy against an opponent who ignores the rulebook, takes huge risks and who has no interest in playing safe?
I guess we don’t need impeachment if we have an new president Petraeus?
He admits having arguments with the president of a sovereign nation he purports to be serving.
We will listen to the commanders on the ground is a deferral to the military ruling over civilians.
A reason for the 28% of the US population who still supports Bu$$h to rejoice.
The Ohio 2004 ballots that were under court order to be retained – so an audit could be performed and election fraud proven – *** of votes switched to bu$$h, *** votes marked for Kerry covered with white stickers and then remarked for bu$$h,.. then run through and optical scanner, *** unused/unmarked ballots now gone missing – likely marked for bu$$h,.. and then counted in the total bu$$h vote count. The 2004 ballots are now lost/missing/and-or destroyed – proving election fraud by team bu$$hCo will now be difficult or impossible to prove.

In August of 2005:

So, with the most money ever to fix things:
(HuffPo). After allocating the most money in History for just such problems, is this the answer:
(CNN). Do we need to take a hard look at what happened to the “most money in history” two years ago, and whether it went to “fix” bridges in Iraq?
It could have fixed the busiest bridge in Minnesota Or Katrina victims … but … they are democratic states, not bushie states.
Definitely another “you have to be f**king kidding me” department matter.
