WTF?!?

A no confidence vote in the SecDef during a time of war?!?!?

Constructive criticism, by all means. We can only fix our mistakes when we learn from them. But a no confidence vote? Please. Like I said yesterday, this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The whole article reads like some sort of really bad parody. The Dems criticize the SecDef about pre-war intel/WMDs, completely ignoring the fact that the Iraq War is really 2 separate wars (but that's neither here nor there), about body armor, about making America less secure, and about how Iraq is a quagmire. The GOP retorts with the Dems not supporting our troops, "Monday morning quarterbacking," and being the party of retreat and defeat.

And nothing gets done. And nothing changes. And no one in this country has any more understanding about what really IS happening, about what really IS going on, and about what we really ARE fighting about. But hey, that doesn't matter as long as the other guy loses in November.

This shit, on both sides of the aisle, is really starting to piss me off.
