Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is holding the promotions of 850 Air Force officers ransom to four C-130s for the Idaho National Guard.

Way to go, Larry.

Great! That is just what we need is obstacles to progress. I will refrain from saying more due to Article 88.

I'd call him an idiot, but that would hardly differentiate him from the rest of Congress.

If you want to fight back, you don't have to organize a militia because you're already an army

Why bother? Do you really think negative comments get past his screeners?

Sounds like circular reasoning.

Constituent, "I should call my senator about this. Naw, he won't listen."

Staffer to senator, "Well, Senator, we didn't hear any complaints."

Senator, "My constituents support this decision by an overwhelming majority!!"

Constituent, "See? That's why I don't bother calling!"

The war in Iraq is a waste of troops. The only public reason fro gonig there was to fidn biochemical weapons, which they didn't find. The real reason is either to secure oil or Bush is just plain stupid (with an IQ of 92). That's why all American troops should withdraw within the year. Iraq is its on country. They can handle themselves. They don't need an army of 100,000 there to govern them and to tell them what to do.
