After the ten hours of congressional campaigning in which it became obvious we are being led by a bunch of Republican "made men" - enforcers given their orders by RNC/BushCo godfathers - I see that we now relate to the rest of the world in with self-interested political jingoistic partisianship.
Republican Louie Gohmert (R TX)was a prime example pretending to more military wisdom than Murtha.
Republican Rep Lynn Westmoreland (R GA) who can't recite more than 3 of the Ten Com mandments is another.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. House rejected setting a timetable for a military withdrawal from Iraq after a 10-hour debate Friday in which both parties previewed their election-year strategies on the controversial war.
Lawmakers approved, 255-153, a nonbinding GOP resolution stating that the Iraq conflict is part of the war on terrorism and no deadline should be set for pulling out the troops."
