On bozos with short memories...

The U.S. Senate today effectively placed the pall on extending the Patriot Act:

As Congress raced toward adjournment, the bill's Senate supporters were not able to garner the 60 votes necessary to overcome a threatened filibuster by Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and other lawmakers who opposed the provisions. The final vote was 52-47.

By the actions of the Senate, one would truly think that our nation is not now nor was ever at war. Hell, there are some in the Senate who wouldn't know victory in a war if it came up and bit them in the ass:

Some Democrats objected to the frequent use of the word victory. "What is victory? Nobody has defined what victory is," Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said.

The Dems were of course again stunned today when the House called for another vote on a resolution that:

"...honors the tremendous sacrifices" of U.S. forces and praises Iraqis for voting in parliamentary elections Thursday. It says U.S. forces would be required in Iraq "only until Iraqi forces can stand up so our forces can stand down, and no longer than is required for that purpose."

"Setting an artificial timetable for the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces from Iraq, or immediately terminating their deployment in Iraq and redeploying them elsewhere in the region, is fundamentally inconsistent with achieving victory in Iraq," the resolution says.

Of course, shining the light on the den of cockroaches that is the DNC (and their RINO counterparts) every once in a while is a prudent practice for the benefit of the voter. Just a good reminder of just who the "fifth column" is in this country.
