Impeach Reid and Pelosi
The Crypt (H/T The Tank)reminds us why we originally named this site Impeach Reid and Pelosi dot com:
Pelosi, Reid to announce new push to end Iraq war
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) are expected tomorrow to announce a new coordinated effort to force votes in July to end the Iraq war, according to Democratic insiders.
Reid has already publicly declared that Senate Democrats will offer four Iraq-related amendments to the upcoming 2008 Defense authorization bill, including a proposal by Reid and Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) to set a firm timetable to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by next spring.
Pelosi is planning to announce ...

Here We Go Again
Continuing with their strategy of "if we say it long enough and loud enough it must be true," Harry "Surrender" Reid and Nancy "I Heart Syria" Pelosi said today (again) that the surge has failed. What a surprise.
Their letter to President Bush starts off with three quick lies:
1. "As many had forseen, the escalation has failed to produce the intended results." The last boots just got on the ground last week. How could we have produced all of the intended results this quickly? In fact, the President has said that the earliest we could begin to gauge The Surge would be September. All of that notwithstanding, this is still ...

Who is Lying?
W. Thomas Smith, Jr., asks a great question over at The Tank: Who is lying, Harry Reid or Gen. Petraeus?
While Reid is in Washington talking about our "failed" Iraq war and describes Iraq as "an epic tragedy," he said: "The President’s troop escalation is now complete . . . ."
Smith contrasts this with what Gen. Petraeus was telling CNN:
I think it's important to remember that we're still a week and a half, two weeks away from having all of the surge forces even on the ground for the first time.
So CNN asks for clarification:
General, just to be clear, you do not have all of your troops on the ground in country in ...

Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner
Turns out that the "new direction" the Dems have taken in Congress looks amazingly similar to the old direction of the Dems: fund your pet projects even if it means circumventing the process.
From a story in today's WaPo entitled, "In the Democratic Congress, Pork Still Gets Served,"
When the new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives passed one of its first spending bills, funding the Energy Department for the rest of 2007, it proudly boasted that the legislation contained no money earmarked for lawmakers' pet projects and stressed that any prior congressional requests for such spending "shall have no legal effect."
Within days, however, lawmakers including Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) began directly ...

In Big Oil’s Back Pocket
From CNNMoney.com:
A new survey by the National Retail Federation said rising gasoline prices are a growing worry for consumers and retailers as prices at the pump hit a record high for a sixth straight day Friday.
The motorist group AAA said the average price for a gallon of self-serve unleaded hit $3.129 in its latest reading, based on a daily survey of up to 85,000 gas stations. That's up from Thursday's record of $3.114.
The group warned in congressional testimony this week it believes that more record prices could be on the way. It's forecasting prices will approach $3.25 a gallon over the next 60 days.

The Dems Surrender
Harry Reid threw up his hands today in the universal sign of surrender as he and the Dems surrendered to President Bush over the issue of troop withdrawal timelines.
The New York Times reports:
"Congressional Democrats relented today on their insistence that a war spending measure sought by President Bush also set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq. The decision to back down, described by senior lawmakers and aides, was a wrenching reversal for some Democrats, who saw their election triumph as a call to force an end to the war. A Democratic effort to include timelines prompted Mr. Bush’s veto of the original bill last month, producing a political impasse."
"Representative Steny ...
