"The administration does not act like there's a war going on"

i posted earlier on the resolution up before the house tomorrow... i would bet my last nickel that it's straight out of the karl rove playbook... some things just have a certain smell about them, knowhutimean...?
Nearly four years after it authorized the use of force in Iraq, the House today will embark on its first extended debate on the war, with Republican leaders daring Democrats to vote against a nonbinding resolution to hold firm on Iraq and the war on terrorism.

and, even within the r's, the small, quiet voice of good sense is drowned out by the cacophony of the ideologues...
"I can't help but feel through eyes of a combat-wounded Marine in Vietnam, if someone was shot, you tried to save his life. . . . While you were in combat, you had a sense of urgency to end the slaughter, and around here we don't have that sense of urgency," said Rep. Wayne T. Gilchrest (Md.), a usually soft-spoken Republican who has urged his leaders to challenge the White House on Iraq. "To me, the administration does not act like there's a war going on. The Congress certainly doesn't act like there's a war going on. If you're raising money to keep the majority, if you're thinking about gay marriage, if you're doing all this other peripheral stuff, what does that say to the guy who's about ready to drive over a land mine?"

we send our children to die for the aims of global empire and bush takes issue with people wanting to formally pledge their love to one another and be recognized for it by society... how sick is that...?
