I have one request of the Democratic Party. It's what I had in mind during the recent elections.

END THE FUCKING WAR.

Can it get any clearer than that? The executive branch's job is to carry out the laws passed by the legislative branch. If Congress passes a binding resolution requiring the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, either the President brings our men and women home, or he can be removed and replaced by someone who will. (The sequence can, of course, be reversed: Congress certainly has grounds to remove the president for the simple reason that he is not competent to carry out his duties.)

END THE FUCKING WAR.

Note that I did not say, "Try to find a way to end the war without appearing weak." I did not say, "Make sure we send the right message." I sure as shit did not say, "Make sure you don't jeopardize your electability."

I'm sick and tired of hearing our congresscretins moaning about the "messages" and "signals" we're sending to "the terrorists." Newsflash, you bloated oligarchs: you were not elected to vote on the basis of what "the terrorists" will think about it. They don't get to vote for or against your worthless, spineless, cowardly asses. We do. And if you vote to END THE FUCKING WAR, those of us who voted for you to achieve that goal will, by God, vote for you again. And the terrorists still can't do anything about it.

The same goes for all foreigners, generally. In any case, nothing we can do is going to do any further damage to "our standing in the world." You craven Congressional dipshits, haven't you heard that, thanks to your failure to do your jobs, we don't have any standing in the world. END THE FUCKING WAR and we might get some of it back.

I've been plastering:

NOT ONE MORE DIME.
NOT ONE MORE DAY.
NOT ONE MORE DEATH.

all over everything.

I like "END THE FUCKING WAR" much better.

Great diary, great comments.  If it weren't for knowing all you good folk were here, I think I'd go mad with grief, rage and frustration.  At least I'm not alone.
