Many reasons, too not change anything, in The Emergency Military /Defense Spending Bill

3/25/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

First and foremost, Democrats passed a complete Bill, Senators can pass it, or not, Bush can sign it, or not, the Bill is complete and will have to be passed by the Senate, if they want funding for the conflict in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. Democrats, don’t have too change anything, that is the strength of this Bill, it’s has to be passed and it has to be signed… if the President wants too fund the war, until he leaves office, Bush has too sign, Democrats, don’t need Bush, Bush needs the Bills funds.

And hear is the next bulwark in why Democrats, don’t have to change a thing, leave the Bill, as is… Bush will have too sign it… Republicans will play up the Troops, need for reinforcements and equipment. America, the Troops are supported by Private Contractors in Iraq and in Afghanistan, in many instances and they will not take a chance, on leaving the US Troops, out in the cold, in harms way, or in the middle of a firefight and the Military’s Generals, will not… let me repeat this, the US Generals, will not leave US Troops in harms way, so… Republican…Conservatives… Senators… Pundits… Surrogates… fox news, you can bluster, wine, cry all you want, the Bill, will remain and await your signature, President Bush.

Now the reasons, why? This Bill’s, Pork is no better, or no worst. America, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and the RNC fox news, take close look at the Last three Military Funding bills, passed, all by a Republican, Bush controlled Congress, every Bill had Pork, Ear Marks, too the high heavens… nuff said.

What exactly are we funding, in deploying and Redeploying US Troops and is it US Military support Units, that do this work?

Or is it Private Corporations? And if not paid, will these Corporations, abandon our Troops in the field? Is this the reason for Republicans statements about, cutting off funding will hurt the troops?

I want an answer to these questions, we need to know what would happened, if we withdraw troops form the field to defensible positions? “With-in Iraq and around it’s borders and in neighboring countries?”

How will Withdrawing too base, in Iraq work? How ill redeploying too the Borders of Iraq work? Can and will our allies in the region, allow the US Military, too base US Troops in their countries? And a big question; I want to know “WHO” handles the Support of moving US Troops?

I want an answer too these questions, please, I want every time a statement is made about, Democrats want to cut and run and abandon the troops, or cut off re-enforcements during a firefight, answered. I know Democrats do not want to do any of these things but, just telling them that’s, is not what you mean, or want to do is not enough.

Question and Answers for the Upcoming Congressional Debate on Iraq withdrawal and redeployment and Deployment.

When attacked with these insane statements, by Republicans, make them flesh it our, force your answer right behind there wild assertions, State who will do the withdrawing? How can deployment too, a new areas, “with-in Iraq work?

Once redeployed too the borders and bases with-in and around Iraq, US Troops can and will make quick strikes on Al Qeada and be close at hand for support of Iraqi’s Police and Military and their training, explain it too these fear mongering Republicans, who continually twist the true Plans of Democrats, they want to attach, your plan, start explaining the facts of the plans, as they could be done. Do not keep saying, “that’s not what we want to do” say to the American public; “were not going too leave Iraq, completely,” you and America, needs to know we cannot leave Iraq completely.

America needs to know, however that, reducing our footprint and removing our troops from the needless cross fire’s of Sectarian, or Civil Conflicts in Iraq, these cross fires our not the position for US Troops to be in, they our however a position for Iraqi’s too be in and settle for them selves, not the US Military.

Explain Al Qeada is now the US Militaries primary mission in Iraq, with Training Iraq’s Military and Police a secondary mission, cutting off arms and insurgents coming to join the fight in Iraq is a primary joint mission as well as attaching and eliminating Al Qeada, in Iraq. These positions need to explain, every time a Republican uses those talking points.

America the last 6 plus years, is the result of accelerated, outsourcing of Government

And a benign neglect, of Domestic Governance.

Walter Reed, is truly the tip of the iceberg, VA Hospitals and the two totally different DOJ and VA Disability Measurement Systems, along with the Bush administrations reaction too Katrina, is showing America, Tax cuts and perpetual war, are more important, than the good of ALL the Nation, rather keeping America fearful of Bush and Cheney’s enemies, is paramount, investigations and by-partisan Commissions, Bush ignores, are a waste of time;

Impeachment is the answer, start with Censorship and Impeachment of Alberto Gonzales and move directly to Bush and Cheney, which will get Congresses attention and move the Nation.


GAO, Salon.com and several other organizations have reported on the deficiencies we see encapsulated at Walter Reed Hospital. There holding hearing, in congress, I call them show trails, they listen, speak outraged and, fall all over there selves, with hard questions, for facts, already in evidence, those in charge, fall on swords, and blood let, preferably others, beneath them, Generals and the like, or ilk.

America, Walter Reed is another symptom of the leadership, not solely Bush & Cheney but the Republican Control of Congress since 92’ and the direction, America has been on, downsizing, outsourcing, privatizing government, all in this scheme sold America’s majority, that Government is no good and business and the free market is the best for delivering services, one big problem, private business has no feel for delivering services to people, who can’t pay, or are in distress, or emergencies, only profits, they can’t deliver free.

Anyone who believes we are on the right course for America, is not really looking at the true condition of America and all of their people. The Rich have no problems, except for an occasional, Stock Market drop. The poor have little voice, but as of November 7th 2006, democrats are trying to give greater voice to them and their plight, under the contract for America and Neo-cons, leadership, has had a disastrous effect, on the lower middle classes wages, down too the poor, homeless and destitute, stagnated and under attacked of their institutions, like Unions. Not all was bad for Democrats, we did have Bill Clintons, leadership and prosperity was had by all, rich and poor, but for some reason, the rich hated Clinton’s economy and they hated, literally all of America, rich and the poors, boats raising.

America’s poor started too have choices for the first time in a long time in America; the American dream was in sight for the last 6 years of the Clinton Administration, even with the impeachment. The outsourcing started stepping up and followed with downsizing and privatization, the dream went away faster than Bush giving away the bulk of the surplus, too the rich and if you tie in lope sided trade agreements and the effects of the 1987 Immigration Amnesty, starting to have and effect on Labor, the slide for the middle class, down to the vulnerable poor, laden with a failed war on poverty and gangs, tied too low paying service jobs, you see the end results today.

Some will say this a lot of theory, but it all does come together, for those most effected by the present situation facing America, every indicator, that has happened to the poor, has been disastrous, but the worst that has happened to the rich is just embarrassing, or a slight drop in their portfolio’s.

The past Congress, rubber stamped so much, it will take years too correct and the worst of the changes that happened mostly if the favor of the rich, these changes will be in place for decades, so finding the money to help the poor, will take raises in taxes, a perfect prescription for Republicans to scream, tax and spend, after cut and give, tax money, too the rich.

When, every Domestic practice and safety net set in place, has been cut to the bone, that acknowledge the poor and all that is left, today is few anemic programs and volunteers donations, even Education is cut to the bone, your at a disadvantage and only those with money and privilege have power, the poor are so far off the radar, today when the power shifts on Nov. 08’ it will be a real test of America’s righteousness to even the playing field.

Returning America to its greatness will be a trail; I pray we are up to the task.

Why the White News Shows, Networks, Pundits and Host, are not questioning…

are… or is, Hillary, McCain, Romney, Giuliani, Edwards, White enough for Black America, or White enough for White America?

03/02/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

This trumped up question; “is Obama black enough?” has been banging around the almost completely White News Shows, this question, is posed among a few Black Elitist, or kept alive by a few Nationalist Black leaders.

Let me say from the outset, this question, is not discussed, or even a question too the main stream of black voters, most of black America voters, are not monolithic, they hold there cards close, listening too the positions on the issues, before announcing there backing and most of black leadership, are just as couscous of positions and issues, this does not sit well, with White America’s Pundits especially this early Presidential season, Whites want to know what do blacks thinks about Obama vs. Hilary, seeing Hillary has the early polling among black voters.

And since this question has been kicking around, the latter polls of blacks early support, of Hillary has shifted considerably, too Obama among the black community, but this has not stopped Whites, from keeping up asking the black enough question and some Black Elitist, Standley Crouch and S. C. State Sen. Robert Ford comes to mind constant critic's of black leadership, are asking the question, it’s as if, Obama doesn’t have enough history, so he’s questioned about being black enough, no slavery history, so the question, as if just living in America and being considered Afro-American, is not enough for the black elitist.

I’ am going to ask a question not even the Elitist on both sides of color spectrum, have ask:

Is Hillary, McCain, Romney, Giuliani, Edwards and the rest… BLACK, or WHITE enough for Black America?


There kick that around for awhile, Black America wants too know… inquiring minds want to hear… the answers by WHITE and BLACK America. Got elitist of all stripes, chew that questions for a few weeks, I dare someone too pose it… seriously, ask a few of your Black and White guest, Pundits, Analyst, Surrogates, National leaders and elected officials, America is waiting to hear.

It amazes me to hear Civilian and leadership, say; “We Support the Troops”

oh really, then stop leading, in lies, covering your lack of leadership, with this, we support, coverall statement.

03/01/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Training the troops is the first and most important, step in supporting the Troops, all the troops, whether there in the field, or on the parade grounds and all in between, proper training prepares our treasures, for “going in harms way.”

That training is the underpinnings of why US Troops are the best trained in the world. America, the President, Congress and military Leadership, make that faithful decision to send US Troops into the field, all of us owe them, everything, with no corners cut, were not a third world nation, we can afford the best.

There is no emergency, no reason to not train to highest degree and it’s incumbent upon Civilian Authority to due diligence, Novembers election said they wanted a new Congress, they wanted Oversight and Accountability, after more than questionable Intel and failures to find what our Civilian leadership swore to us in the run-up to attack in Iraq. America wanted no rubber stamping failure, no more saying anything and blindly agreeing, America wants no more of that leadership, by Bush, Cheney, Rice, no more, America is holding Leadership accountable.

And for all who want to call, Congress, micro managers of the conflict in Iraq, there doing a disservice to America’s discourse, they want the old, BLIND following of any and all pronouncements by the out of power, out of leadership Republicans in Congress and the lone Independent, parading as a age old democrat.

Equipment, is the next step after training, whether you’re in the field, or states side, preparing too go abroad, into the field, the equipment is paramount, America has the best equipment in the worlds Militaries, they match up with every Nation, of the world, in ability to produce weapons, for offensive and defensive protection, America has the ability to produce, more than enough, but for some odd reason, the present Administration, has incorporated a private business concept of servicing the Military, that has not kept up with needs of the 20th, or 21st century Military. Not enough Armour for Troops, not enough Armour for vehicles and Tanks, shortages, that have cost lives and injuries that proper equipment, would cut down those losses, of lives and equipment.

If you support the troops, than you must support them with all, I repeat, ALL the equipment necessary, too get any job, any mission done. Just to let the America and the Media know, America’s Troops are the best, the initial mission, the US was sent into Iraq to complete, has been completed, with flying colors… but here’s the rub, Bush, Cheney refuses to acknowledge there great accomplishment, they have completed that mission, every News Network, knows this is FACT, Saddam is Still DEAD.

The only mission left in Iraq, for US Troops is training Iraqi’s too defend their Nation against all, insurgence, even Al Qeada, too train to defend the borders and the new mission, now that the first mission has been completed, is hunting down and crushing Al Qeada, it does not take 150,000 US Troops to complete a job against Al Qeada, who total at best a little over 5,000, that is the story, not being told the US people.

America keeps getting this, “we support the troops and you can’t support the troops and not support there mission,” the US people have spoken loud and clear, we want out of Iraq and the media has to keep challenging the Administration, about the sound bites they keep saying, Republicans keep voting against the Nations will, with no consequences, in the press.

Last but not least, Troops Rotation and rest, a small percentage of America pays the highest price, more importantly, less than 1% of the Nation is paying the price for this miss-guided foreign policy catastrophe, it is true America knows the difference in a war and conflict, Iraq is not a war, it is a conflict a Civil War for Iraqi’s and a Conflict for American Troops, with a few Al Qeada, whom we are at war with, but to call Iraq, the CENTRAL FRONT IN THE WAR ON TERROR, is wrong.

But America knows, oh to well, we wave good by, too some few Americans and may perhaps for the last time and in some instances, they return to there loved ones and many return injured, many just not the same, a casualty of war, this is just a few of the reasons, Troop rotation and rest are so important, many of those in Iraq are on the their third rotation, some there fourth.

This must stop, we owe these brave Americans, time with their loved one, their duty may cut them off… until eternity from many who love them and they love most.

Now America knows Afghanistan is a righteous War, we support the troops and we support the mission, but not with out proper training and equipment and rotation, in Iraq, we support the troops, but not the mission, America dose not support, ESCALATION, America does not support, STAYING THE COURSE.

America can tell the difference in FAILURE (s) and WINNING, America knows the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan, one is a mission completed, not pronounced and the new mission not stated in Iraq, in Afghanistan, a righteous war a mission not even close too completed, as long as Osama is free, he carries a, adjudication, of the American people, not brought to the American people’s well of justice.

America knows the Difference between JUSTICE, a RIGHTEOUS WAR AND BULLCRAP SOUND BITES.

It’s strange, everyone who wants the draft, wants a SHARED part of the real War on Terror,

in the Nation and everyone who doesn’t want a draft, feels we draft wanter’s, should follow there lead and leadership and Failure.

02/26/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

The present administration, is filled with people who avoided the draft, or never were in any of the services, but they all know war, Bush has a dubious service record himself, but he has been in charge of America’s response to 9/11, he promptly wasted, our good will, around the world when, righteously hunting down, Osama Ben Laden, Bush, made an a brought, left turn into Iraq, Bush Cheney Rice, Powell and a host of spin-masters, along with the help of our co-opted News Media and a pliable Republican controlled Congress, sold America, Iraq.

And when ever an American wants to bring in the draft, were told, we don’t need the draft, when today, almost the entire nation and the world, knows America, needs a Draft, just to protect it self. Bush seems to think, now, a few more troops, just for Iraq, would be nice, but we just need to stay in Iraq, Bush believes, as long as the US Troops stay in Iraq, killing and being killed, the enemy will not come to America and he repeatedly, say, “we have not been attacked since 9/11”.

A shared responsibility and Nationally shared feeling, is just what America needs, for the War on terror, Iraq is a side show, in the war on terror, Until Bush gets serious about Afghanistan and Osama, and gets America and the world back in the hunt, we will continue too flounder, in Iraq. Reducing our footprint in Iraq and increasing our footprint in Afghanistan is the strategy for the nation, the right tonic for what ales the national psyche.

Bush is stuck in his tunnel vision. He believes his own hype about no attack, since 9/11 and because of his staying in Iraq and he believes, if we leave Iraq completely, as he believes Democrats want to do, is the wrong move and his house of cards, will come attacking America, Alqeada has done the damage they wanted, on 9/11 and until America gets serious, in Afghanistan and brings Osama to pay, we will be stuck in Bush’s failed strategy.

Iraq is a distraction and Alqeada is too small a mission for 150,000 US Troops, Iraq’s training is even too small for the US Contingent. Bush is far too vested in staying in Iraq, he is thinking too little of the real treat, too America. The US will not leave Iraq completely, but we will lower our presence, we will concentrate on Alqeada and we will crush them, where ever we find them and their murdering, hate filled ideology.

I have one additional request of the Media and America, Islam is a violent Religion and should said so, this comes from Muslims, the Peaceful statements by Bush are wrong and he should be called on it. I say this because, the ones who believe it to be peaceful, are getting a pass, they are afraid to make loud concert, unending stand, for the peaceful statements and they should be made too defend their assertions, America no more silence from those who silently proclaim, the faith is peaceful, they must speak up, unendingly and consistently.

Dr. Condi Rice drew a parallel with Nazi Germany’s overthrow

, to congresses, suggested change in authorization, on RNC fox.

02/25/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Rice says it’s a continuum of our original mission. Poppycock, Boulder-dash, horse cookies, we didn’t change the authorization of WW II, so why would we change the Iraq authorization. Answer Miss Rice, is Iraq mission was completed and there is not a continuing treat to the US, as a matter of fact, there was NO FIND, of the original treat, WMD’s, or an Alqeada Connection, organized to attack, or threaten the US, No Nukes or it’s reported Labs, there was however a congressionally voted mandate, in the original authorization, of 03’ and that has been victorious.

There is no continual mission, the original mission is finished, done, completed, The US and Coalition Troops, have completed, there mission, Briton is leaving, Southern Iraq in force for good reasons.

Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove all of this leadership, are beyond the pale, of fixed ideology, they believe they can keep with the parlor game of words, America, is sick and tired of this RNC, Republican Congressional game, many Republicans are staying the course and playing the funding game, this is a strategic move, by the administration, they keep their party unity posing false straw arguments about, cutting funds and of troops in the field, being left in fire fights, without re-enforcements.

Bush and Republicans, While coldly calculating and caring nothing for those same Troops, in harms way, being ill equipped, half trained, fighting and dying in an extended mission, that keeps changing and has no purpose, but to extend the failure, until Bush leaves office, Bush will do everything, including attack Iran, to stay in Iraq and unless, Republicans wake up, Bush will stay until, 09’.

America’s enemies are training in two places, for two different reasons, Afghanistan, is for a coming long overdue war, with America, they have trained and re-equipped, a spring offensive is in the air. In Iraq, they are practicing, the skills at countering a foreign invader, they are honing there hate among them selves for themselves and a new evolving hate for Americans.



At this 08’ year, Republicans will see the awful truth, America’s Main Stream, will bring about a VETO PROOF CONGRESS AND PRESIDENCY, this will be Republicans reward, for defying the Nations Vote and Mandate, in 06’ and 07’ I commend the Democrats in Congress, please keep pushing, your showing the Nation, exactly what Republicans and Bush really are, it becomes clearer and clearer, with every BLOCKED VOTE IN CONGRESS.

Iraqi’s job and mission, includes fighting Alqeada and that is a “separation,” Miss Rice,

Miss Rice, that is not the question, but you want it to be. The US Troops, mission, NOW is, Alqeada, Training, Border Security, that is not the original mandate, that Mandated mission, has be completed, by the US Troops.

02/25/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Baghdad’s security Plan today, is wholly different from the authorization voted on by Congress in 2003 and that Congressional Mandated Vote, has been completed by US Troops, in Iraq and they performed that mission, there completion was admirable, they performed, over and above the mission, they have a deserved win, but the Administration, refuses to acknowledge their victory.

Our Treasures are walking the streets, being attacked and returning fire, kicking in doors, day and night, doing the job of the Iraqi’s Security Forces, their Mandated Security jobs and yes, Iraqi’s Mandate includes, securing, the sovereign territory of Iraq, border to border and fighting, tracking down and even killing Alqeada, there’s no “separation,” Miss Condi Rice.

Saudi Arabia, is supporting Sunni’s in Iraq, with money and weapons, clandestinely, Jordan and Syria are doing the same and to think, Iran, is standing around twittel-ling their fingers, while an age old border enemy’s, interior fighting and future is in doubt and could foster a regional war, the possibilities are high, it could spill over into Iran and anyone who thinks, they are not involved, is beyond imagination.

Iran can see the train wreck, which is Iraq today, the US is lead by a failing Us Administration, stuck in it’s failing stubborn, tunnel vision, want to keep Alqeada as part of it’s joint actions, saying stupid things, like Iraq wants us there and, were searching for Alqeada. When in fact the US is deeply involved in secular civil actions that are wholly Iraq’s sovereign preview.

Cheney is running robo calls, on the Media, in since, punk ing them with statements, they know are not true, daring everyone to question him, Cheney has lost creditability in so many areas and he needs to be called on it by the Media. As long as he can make, these outrages statement, that have no basis in facts, he will continue to throw crap on the walls, of legitimate discussion.

If you support the troops, you Must support the Mission, “NO”

this is a non-sequiter argument, you can do both, Democrats and Congress, must knock this flawed arguement down

Definition: of non sequitur

1. Incongruous statement: a statement that appears unrelated to a statement that it follows
2. Unwarranted conclusion: a conclusion that does not follow from its premises


02/20/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

It’s false argument posed by Bush and Republicans, all tied together, with attacks by Media and Republicans in Congress, they first attack, the non-binding Resolutions, saying; if you want to stop the war, “Cut the Funds, or De-fund the Troops in the field,” Use a Binding Resolution, de-funding the money, Republicans say, when in truth, Republicans won’t allow any Resolutions, from Democrats too do anything, to force troops to be removed from Iraq, their duplicity, saying their against the surge, but refusing to anything to stop it.

Democrats and the Media, must destroy these Myths, Next when Republicans say, you can’t support the troops and not the mission, Democrats must make it clear the mission has been completed, the mission they were sent into Iraq, is over, the only mission left is Alqeada and there mostly in the Anbar Province, America needs to hear this over and over.

So Murtha plan or no, those who wish to end the war and bring the troops home would be well-advised to get busy pulling apart the argument that ending funding for the war will harm the troops. As Tom Matzzie of MoveOn has argued, Democrats need to directly rebut the Republican charge that Democrats are threatening the safety of American forces in the field by pushing restrictions on war funding. "Cutting off funding as described by the media and White House is a caricature," Matzzie told The Politico. "It has never happened in U.S. history, and it won't happen now."

Republican try to say, “Cutting funding, or De-funding, will stop re-inforcements from coming to the aid of troops, in a fire fight.” This a pernicious statement and wholly, untrue.

Congress, can stop the war, by cutting funds to continue, but would never, stop troops from, re-deploying, or withdrawing from and area and the few Alqeada, are not strong enough to stop the US Troops from moving anywhere they chose.

Here’s what is not being spoken, Bush has decided to force and ignore the Nation and Congressional Democrats, by moving troops into harms way, over their explicit objections, even Republicans objections, Bush will leave them in harms way, even after funds have been cut, this is criminal, from the start and Congress must say so.

“What Bush did, by surging troops over to Iraq, ill equipped and untrained, together with forced rotations and cutting short and extending stays, in the firing line, is nearing an impeachable offense.”

Make Impeachment real to Bush, with impeachment and moving Congress towards, tying any and all money, for Iraq and Afghanistan, too Training, Equipping, and Troops Rotations, will bring the conflict and mission change, needed in Iraq.

The mission has changed, Alqeada is the mission, in Iraq and America’s leverage is Re-deploying and withdrawing, there in, lies our most power, a real clear alternative is needed, by Congress, too Bush’s Forced Escalation, Failing Forward, Repeated Surging, up, down, in out… one failing after another.

America wants a real clear Plan, in opposition, not just opposition.

Pressure is Mounting on Republicans

and The Nation, will become increasingly dissatisfied with Republicans, blocking the Nations mandated progress, getting America, Out of Iraq.

02/19/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

With every Vote the Republican are seen as the road block to progress in Iraq, Republicans keep Failing Forward, in Staying the Course, in Iraq, they are seen as keeping Americans in harms way, to stay in place until and enemy gets tiered of killing each other and Americans.

No more questions, America knows the answer, the mission has been completed, Americans know the answers to the Civil War in Iraq, that is a conflict to US Troops, of which Iraqi’s must find and answer, amongst them selves. American troops, our precious treasures, have given their blood and lives, to secure a stand, free from Saddam, that mission has been completed with flying colors, Iraqi’s must stand-up and make the sacrifices necessary to forge a Nation, out of America’s sacrifice and lead.

Americans can continue the mission to crush Alqeada, from the streets of Iraq, Anbar and Baghdad, we can complete that mission from secure, defensible bases, Quick Striking Alqeada and we must secure the Borders as well, which will enhance our allies and the neighbors in the Regions. This is the mission that will check, all insurgencies from Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan. This mission will allow a majority of the troops in Iraq, to be re-deployed to Afghanistan, in the all-out HUNT, for Osama Bin Hidin’ (Laden).

This is Right and only mission, it is the REAL WAR, the one fight, and the Nation does and will back this fight, without ambiguity. Let’s not forget the proxy fight going on in Western Iraq, Alqeada wants this fight, so let’s give it to them, let’s give them a fight they will drag there battered bodies from.

Jack Murtha’s Plan to tie complete, Training, Troop Rotation and Rest, along with complete equipment for all troops in Harms way, is a right way to move forward. America will back, this mission, No US Solider, Standing opposed, in the breach, shall have all training, equipment and the right amount of time, at home with there families, before and after Rotating. I must say to deny, or cut short the time our, Treasures have with there families, when they could lose there lives, it is an added inhumanness, America, should never be known for.

America is wise enough to know, we will not cut and run from Iraq, America knows, Republicans, want to push Democrats to take extreme measures, they juxtapose, “Binding with non-binding and use inflame-mous words, like De-funding the troops in the field.”

America knows the vote gave Bush the power, to got to war, it was 77 to 22, Democrats and Republicans, all voting in the majority, since that vote, America has FOUND, No WMD’s, Lies, fixed Intel, Profiteering, Failure after Failure and Bush and Cheney have kept up the lies, and a Republican controlled Congress, Stonewalled, every attempt to get Accountabilities and Oversight.

Now today it’s a new day, a razor thin line divides the Senate and Republicans are blocking every move to bring the mandate, the Nation voted for, on November 7th, 2006 to reality.

Answer the Questions, ALL of them

Answer the Questions, ALL of them, Are Iranians, selling weapons? And bringing them into Iraq? Or are Iraqis’ buying and bringing in weapons? Are Insurgents from outside of Iraq, buying and bringing weapons in? Is Saudi Arabia, supplying money and weapons, from outside? America don’t be snowed, ask ALL the questions, why is Bush only wanting to show Iran’s connections? And not those inside Iraq’s Shiite, Sunni Militia’s, who we know are killing Americans.

02/18/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

America, Iran shares a border, with an age-old enemy, so what happens, affect them greatly. America, covertly sent and sold weapons to Afghan Mujahideen fighters, of which Osama Ben Hidin’ was chief amongst, as well as selling weapons to both sides of the Iraq, Iran war, back in the 80’s, included in these US weapons sales was chemical precursors, for production of WMD’s.

The US wanted Both Iraq and Iran to kill each other, brutally.

The CIA sold the shoulder fired “Stinger Missiles,” that in large part forced Russia to leave Afghanistan; the American made and sold weapon, killed Russian soldiers by the hundreds and their Military Helicopters. Now Bush wants America to focus only on Iran, don’t be fooled again, America don’t just drink Bush’s COOL AIDE, without knowing our nations History, it’s not JUST Iran, selling, giving, shipping weapons, into Iraq.

I don’t want anyone selling, shipping weapons into Iraq, to kill my Treasures, but no one is watching the doors of Iraq and Saudi Arabia and Syria so if foxes are walking in and out of Iraq, bringing murderous weapons. Stop with the feigned anger, you knew Mr. President this was happening over the last 4 years.

Go after all, agents with murderous results for Americans and Iraqis will be trained to do the same.

I want hard proof of all involvement, not factional, political assertions, designed for steering the conversation, one way, or controlling another. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, all and others are selling; giving weapons; let’s hear a full report on all of them.

America, watch, closely everyone using the word: “De-Funding,”

America, watch, closely everyone using the word: “De-Funding,” Bush and Republicans will repeat this word, over and over, do not be fooled, Bush could end the conflict in Iraq, today, Bush repeatedly chose, “FAILING FORWARD,’ to extend the war. Congress can only tie, amendments to the funding, but it will have the popular majority effect, this Republicans fear, they say; “Democrats say, if they were the President today, they would end the conflict today,” so Republicans want America to believe a Democratic Congress, today can end the conflict, Congress has a Blunt instrument, the Power of the Purse. Democratic Congress will always keep the pressure on Bush, it’s his responsibility, and it’s largely Bush’s Failure.

02/18/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Why waste time, with these non-binding Resolutions? Here’s why? They show the Country and the World, Congress has respect for the Office of the Presidency, one soon, that will be in the hands of a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress will have to make the right steps, even then.

Republicans hate the process, the Democratic Majority process, being employing in Congress, they have given, every opportunity to Bush, to gain their CONFIDENCE and the confidence, of the Majority will of the Nation.

Step by respectful step, Congress is bringing there power to bear, making a clear distinction between the Presidents failures and the will of the Nation, played out in the Majority Congresses actions.

Bush chose, Failing Surge Forward, Stay the Course. That is Bush’s Strategy.

Just because Republicans, call Democratic Congressional moves as, “leading to De-funding,” doesn’t make if true.

De-funding is a scare word for Republicans, they imply, Democrats are going to take bullets, out of guns, in the middle of a firefight, or prevent troops from re-forcing in the middle of a fight, nothing could be father from the TRUTH.

Bush remember, can stop the conflict, in Iraq today. He can declare victory and re-deploy, he can withdraw, Bush has the power to do all this, but he refuses, so as long as the will of the Nation, remains in the ballot box and does not, make it LOUDLY KNOWN, in the public arena’s, Bush will continue to FAIL FORWARD and ignore Congress. Write, E-mail, your Representatives and make it known:

America, tell your Elected Representative, too go to the president and bring our Treasures out of Iraq’s crossfire’s, no more troops, put in Harms way, no more failure, no more surging and failing forward, no more.

*******************************************************

Republican Strategists, want to make, Congressional Resolutions, that are non-binding, sound un-necessary… just jump to the Cutting of Funding and stop the war, pull the rug out from under the troops. Republicans Strategy is, Force Democrats to own the war, then the losing of the war is Democrats, as it stands, today, for the most part, the losing of the war is, inextricably, tied around Bush and Republicans necks, tied to the lying Intel, bringing America (ns) into Iraq, for the most part.

Republican, know that Democrats are being respectful of the process and giving every chance for Bush, too come back and gain the confidence of Congress, but you will never hear any Republican speak about this, non-binding Resolutions, first step, in the true manner, with which, Democrats, now in a thin control of Congress, are making their moves.

Democrats are respectful of the Presidents position; he is the CEO, the leader of the US Government and foreign Policy. Not one Republican in Congress has spoken of the disrespect… Bush has shown for Congress, or the people, or the elected WILL of the Nation, by pushing ahead, with the “surge,” without Congresses Confidence, against the Majority Nations WILL.

Bush pushed ahead, with his repeated failed surges, with out Congresses confidence, because he knows, he blew Iraq and if he can, delay leaving, and he delays Losing Iraq. So he’s been speech-a-fie-ing, saying; more troops, stay to win, winning is staying, stand-up a Democracy in the Middle East, rhetoric, baffling too the Majority, with bull crap, sound bites, re-run, warmed over failing Forward, strategy statements.

America, please remember, in the last, do-nothing-congress, under Republicans control, failing was rewarded, with rubber-stamping, every failure questioned by Democrats was, blocked and killed, accountability, ask for, in Bills, Amendments and Resolution, by Democratic party representatives, no, demanded by Democratic, elected Representatives, in both Houses of Congress, was summarily dropped from consideration, by Republicans.

So here we are today, finding out about all the corruption here and in Iraq and in Afghanistan, Congress, now in control of the democrats are battling with Republicans, who do not want all there legislation looked into closely and republicans do not want the majority of the nation will to carried out, they will frustrate, with PROCEDURAL MOVES, over and over, again and again.

Republicans hate the majority of the Nation and their elected Representatives and they will never do the will of the Nation, some in line for re-election, will eventually step up to the White House and tell the President, to stop the bull-crap-bull-headed, stubborn and stupid emperor behavior and come back to Congress and bring his humility, roll up his sleeves and work on a by-partisan solution.

Black people are not asking, each other;

”Is Barak Obamma, black enough.” Janet langhart Cohen, together with her husband William Cohen former Secretary of State, book; “Love in Black and white.” Is not a focus of black people in America?

02/15/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

I won’t say no one is talking about it, but there are very few, blacks, I know, posing this question, this is a media manufactured and driven question and it’s not important to blacks, were not monolithic, in our thinking. White America is pushing this question, because they want to hear what black people have to say about Obama.

Black America, is listening to all agents, vying for the Presidency, and have reserved there collective judgments as too who, will best lead the Nation into a 21ts Century, in need of course corrections and real change. Black people as a whole knows that, a man, any man is not Black people’s savior, we have commonsense enough to know, our future is tied, inextricably to all Americans, we want better schools, secure job, affordable health insurance, Immigration, Ports, Borders and a secure Nation, many want the conflict in Iraq ended as it is today, they are not cut and runners, but they know, who and were the majority of our enemies our and there not in Iraq.

Blacks want New Orleans rebuilt, Affordable Housing, and a clean environment, lower prices for Energy; blacks want the deficit cut and aid restored to the States. Higher Education made affordable for our youth and access opened for Americans, of all colors, especially those who have suffered, from an un-level playing field in institutions and businesses, for centuries. Black America seeks a real conversation about America’s racism.

There are much, much more, issues touching America’s Black population, all the very same areas, that all of America is interested in seeing, our beloved Nation raising to the heights, of Peace and Prosperity, we are capable of, but we must address, the gap between the rich and poor and that takes, people coming together, together we must come America, all of America, must come together.

Black America is deeply interested in Darfur and the Congo, we see, genocide and our country, bogged down in Iraq, yes we want our enemies brought to justice and we want no more failure by our leadership, plain and simple, these and more are the interest of black America, whether Barak Obamma is black enough, or some such derivative questions, is not even on black America’s radar, at least in the circle, I circulate in.

Chris Matthews, on Hardball…

he says: Re-deploy to the desert, what, just waiting in the heat, He says; “deny the troops re-enforcements.” Chris Matthew says.

02/15/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Chris, Bush lied to get America’s treasures, into Iraq, bad Planning has kept them there, exposed and dying, Bush has surged up and down, he has failed up and down, repeatedly… America is tiered of failure. Literally every Administration prediction, has been wrong, Bush & Cheney deny they did anything wrong, “Last throws, assumptions, were winning in Iraq,” is still wrong.

Re-deploy is the right first step in, getting our treasures out of line of fire, in what is mostly a Civil conflict, look Chris, “Iraq for the US, after Bush’s repeated failures, has put the US between a Rock and a Rock Hard Place.” Bush and Cheney, never planned to secure the borders of Iraq, that failure, has left, open access, for “Insurgents, weapons,” human Iraqi US soldiers lives are on the FIRING LINE DAILY and Bush wants to “stay to course and surge in more soldiers.”

America has too, get out of the middle of the Civil conflict, in Iraq and the best move is to secure the borders and retire to bases, were they can, form quick strike forces, and finally crush the remnants of Alqeada. Re-deploying to the borders of Iraq in addition, will reassure our allies in the region, were committed to securing Iraq, it puts Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia, all on Notice, were not leaving, at least not right away. These moves will free-up troops for Afghanistan, as well as, an all-out hunt down, of Osama Ben Hidin’, remember Osama.

“This will also put Iraq’s Government on notice, it’s time to stand up take the weight, and fight to the last man for their country, Iraq must put all on the line, now.”

And the statement about Denying the troops in the field, re-enforcement and that this Resolution, will lead to the next step, cutting funding, or setting in place, standards, that any troops sent into the field, must be fully equipped and trained and have the proper, rotation for rest and family.

This Resolution is the right first step, it’s respectful of the President, it says, we have heard your Plan, Mr. President and we are not convinced, we have no confidence in your plan, please bring us a another plan. Now Bush chose to force his plan down Congresses and America’s throat.

Bush has deployed the troops in the field, to circumvent Congress, there is no urgency for Bush’s action, but to set in motion, his repeated failed Plans. Congress has the power to set in place benchmarks, to this willful action, by the president. And when this action by Bush, FAILS and it will FAIL, Congress will have to take steps to get Bush to come back too congress with a better plan.

Bush’s job is to make and lead a plan, Congresses job, at the point of making Plans, Congress, can have confidence, or not have confidence, Bush can blunder ahead, or redraw his planning, to gain support and confidence of Congress and the People. Chris, you clearly know, Bush has chosen to ignore Congress and the American majority and fail forward again. Bush has the Power to move forward, he has the pentagon budget, to make moves, Congress has the power of legislation and of the purse, Bush wants to play his hand, he says, I don’t need your approval and Bush is right, but he makes this move at his peril.

Congress can however, move to the extreme and de-fund future Plans and short of this extreme measure, make benchmarks and standards and much more, so that Bush must be meet these steps, too proceed. And that is not denying re-enforcements too troops in the field. Bush can continue to leave, troops in harms way, after Congress, set parameters and be impeached for maleficent in office. The ball is in Bush’s court, be it known Chris, Congress will no longer, rubber stamp failure, no more. Now every Congressman who argues for this failed Plan of Bush’s, only looses votes and widens the take over on Congress and the presidency, can you a veto proof majority in both Houses of congress, in 09’.

House Debate, Resolution 63;

02/13/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

House Debate, on Resolution 63, Why Trust, Bush again, failure is all he has delivered, Republicans want Dems. Majority to drive the conflict in Iraq, just take over, Republicans say; “it’s silly, it’s a joke”… When Republicans were in power, they debated nothing, they rubber stamped every utterance from Bush, and denied amendments and debate… Now we will have full debate and a vote, one step at a time and Republicans hate being put on the record, without a chance to twist and muddy the discussion and vote, they hate not being in control.

Republicans simple hate, being put on the record, one step at a time, this keeps their rhetoric clean. Rep. David Dreier wants to ignore the majority and blindly continue to follow the failed Presidents, ever-repeated plans. Republicans rant and rave about, winning and finishing the mission, the truth is the troops have won their mission; they have completed the task set before them admirably, the mission they were sent into Iraq to complete, the victory has come, they are done, Bush refuses and Republicans refuse to announce their Victory.

The next mission is to secure the borders and crush the remnants of Alqeada. Iraq’s job is, to start reconciliation talks and command and control their countries land and cities. The Troops must re-deploy, to defensible positions, first with in Iraq and the borders, then many troops can go to Afghanistan, and hunt down, Osama Ben Hidin’.

It’s a phony argument, Democrats do not support the troops in the field, by this resolution Democrats, will not take bullets out of the guns, in the middle of a fire fight, we will however, not fund more troops going into Iraq, we will force Bush to remove our troops from harms way.

Congress is sending a message, NO CONFIDENCE IN YOUR PLAN BUSH… come back to Congress with another Plan and we will look it over, do not force Congresses hand, let’s work together, not dictate to the Congress, do not ignore our, confidence. The plan is to leave Iraq, eventually, Republicans Plan is to stay the course, until we win… win what. Republicans want Political Government to replace a religion, Muslims will never trade, their faith for our Government.

It’s illogical to say, the only way to support the troops, is too blindly continue to follow a failed Plan, during the first and second World Wars, Dieppe was a mistake, a failure, lives were lost, in a failed Military mission, fail it did. Through out the wars, we supported the troops. Now today, we have had one failure after another, Bush refuses to acknowledge, his abject failures, this debate is exactly the debate we should have had, before we went into Iraq, it is an embarrassment, to have this now, with troops in the field.

That is the fault of the Republican controlled Congress, who refused to have oversight and accountability, repeatedly rubber-stamping every failed appropriation, one after another. The Democratic Minority could not even bring an Amendment, a Bill, or Resolution to the floor prior to 07’; the Democratic Minority were shut out of the policy making, from start to finish, all rush to a vote-into-IRAQ, based on fixed Intel.

Republicans want to stay the course, or prefer Democrats, now in the majority, take over the war, anything short of a Binding Resolution, cutting funding, which leaves democrats holding the failure, which is Bushes COMPLETELY.

America Voted, no confidence in Bush and Republicans. No more troops, no more phony Intel, no twisting the truth, the majority spoke loudly on November 7th, 06’ OUT OF IRAQ.

Condi sound like, she's been bitch slapped, by the Unitary VP. Cheney from the Start

Condi sound like, she been bitch slapped, by the Unitary VP. Cheney from the Start, if she were a man, we’d call it “Punked.”

02/12/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

More importantly, George Bush really thinks he a President, Cheney has Punked Bush as well and holds unilaterally much of the Presidents Power. The “Unitary Vice President,” we have all been pointing to Bush and it’s been Cheney all along, pulling strings and twisting Intel.

Richard Armitage sounds like he had more power than the faces out front, of the Administration, or at the least, what America has been led to believe, are the Bush leadership. Bob Woodward had more knowledge then Congress ever had and that’s not saying much, even Bob Novak had more inside knowledge, before the War.

Libby’s defense is falling short, if he is depending on Tim Russert, the time line doesn’t fit and besides, the truth of the run-up to the attack on Iraq is coming clear and Impeachment is even clearer, impeachment of both Bush and Cheney and at the least, the censorship and even impeachment of Alberto Gonzales.

If you can keep count, the Republican Controlled Congress got repeatedly Punked, Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearl, Rove and by the FBI, the CIA and even the Defense Secretary, including the Attorney General and the National Security Advisor, are the only ones left, who still believe they not being used. I for one don’t believe a word coming out of the mouths of this administration, not one word.

Please tell me these Corporate Bought and paid for leaders have a real Plan to fully protect America, hell we still have one of our greatest cities in shambles, all under the their collective watch.

A Fair Plan for Illegal Aliens/Immigration

02/12/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

I write this as a Plan for the Illegal Aliens and the Border Control problem, in America we are engaged in two conflicts, one a legitimate war, in Afghanistan and illegal conflict in Iraq.

First, the Borders Ports and Air and ground transportation; locking down the access and entry points is paramount, during a time of war, but should be thought of as crucial for the integrity and security of the Nations people, porous access points undermine commerce and employment, compromising trade and a host of issues related to health and human services.

America has a Immigration system in place that works, but is slow and needs, staff to step up too the 21st century problems, Immigration Control officers need help in enforcing border and Port security, Structural enhancements can work with facility increases in bed space and enlargement of Court facilities to handle adjudications.

Second, be it known, America is not stupid, they know, both parties want the votes of these Illegal aliens, now estimated to be around 12 to 20 million people in the USA and America knows, they have come illegally and once here, compounding the laws, by the breaking and entry into the US, by having children, obtaining Housing, illegal Social Security Numbers and taxes paid and more, much more.

These problems for the US and the Illegal aliens are not insurmountable, as many in Congress and in the news, want America to believe. Many say no to Amnesty and that is the right step, but what do you do about the illegal, underground population. Some want a Guest Worker Program, to allow, each year workers to fill jobs, many say Americans “won’t do, or won’t take,” both of these statements are untrue, there are no jobs, Americans won’t do, or take, There are however Jobs, not offered at a living wage.

Evidenced by LA County, alone, there are near 200,000 homeless and an untold number of unemployed in that California County alone, they will work any job, offered, even Agricultural Jobs, the Right and their allianced business community wants America, to think, they want America to think, Americans won’t do these jobs and that is not even close to being true. Wages are the only factor in these jobs, a living wage offered will be accepted and I believe, even a low wage will be accepted, no one has offered these jobs to the Homeless and unemployed.

Now extrapolate these two segments of the US Citizenry, across the nation and you have more than enough workers for American business.

American business since the 1987 Amnesty, together with Congress and law enforcement, have collectively turned their backs on illegal Aliens, streaming into America, that is a crime, there has been tacit, suppression of wages, by American Businesses.

Solutions, a PLAN;

First, what to do about all the illegal Aliens in the US? Much has been said about not being able to “Rounding up millions of Illegal Aliens and besides that would be breaking up of families, that is wrong.” First you’re talking, or arguing to Americans, about not following the law, by trying to “GUILT AMERICA INTO A FALSE PREMISE AND ARGUMENT.” When, anyone breaks the law, in America, American know, you have to be adjudicated Husbands, Wives, Children are all effected by, say the father, or Mother, or both breaking the law, they can be found guilty and sentenced to fines, probation and jail time, or both. Now American Citizens and families, go through this every day, unfortunate as it is, it is the law Americans have come to know. And if charged and convicted, families are affected, one or more, of the adults can go to jail and families survive.

It is this conclusion of facts, that Americans believe and know are facts, for there citizenship and are why, many want the laws followed and do not want Amnesty, given to those, who have openly and blatantly broken numerous laws, of the USA.

How does America get the illegal Aliens to come forward?

First, Offer a Resolution, or Bill, that states: All illegal Aliens, in the US, must come forward and be documented, starting a date certain and from this date certain, until a date certain, they will have this time, to come out of the shadows.

During this time, all illegal aliens will be documented using the McCain & Kennedy Bill; all but two provisions in that bill will be utilized, the 11 years of Classes, Fines, back taxes arriving at one of three, or four final positions. One their will Temporary Guest Workers, Guest Workers and Legal Guest Workers, seeing as these individuals have broken the law, compounding those broken laws, fines and back taxes are not enough, however classes as good, they will show to their families, good behavior, a model worker, their children born in the USA, will become citizens, they will be the only Citizens, this will alleviate, both side desires for voters, which is unfair, to the legal US citizens and too all those standing in line for entry, LEGALLY to immigrate into the US. Now simply retiring to the borders and applying for entrance is ok, by not to gain citizenship, once having broken our laws, before having legal status, is what prevents, ever obtaining Citizenship.

Now, the three statuses, with in the McCain & Kennedy Bill will work, but creating a Yearly Guest Worker Program is not necessary, America has 12 to 20 million ILLEGAL GUEST NOW, they can be documented and set in differing, Guest Worker capacities.

WE still have B! And B2’s and more for other immigration purposes, in place and working. No form of Amnesty, outside of National Security is needed, or fair to US Citizenships. For all Illegal Aliens who refuse to come forward and be documented, upon revealing there presence, they will be treated as illegal aliens under normal immigration statues, they will be adjudicated and have a status of Held, or Bound Worker Status, especially for those with children and families, this status is temporary and can be followed with deportation at it’s extremes.

This is no perfect but, US Lawmakers and the Illegal Aliens and American Buisnesses have compounded the problems, we face.

The law passed by Congress will force the majority of Illegal Aliens too, “Round Themselves Up,” this law will make it too problematic for most to remain the shadow’s, most will come forward as I say, seeing they will be documented and it is fairer for The present US Citizens and for those who are applying to come the US legally.

This is the best Answer, I could come up with for all, neither Political Parties has what it wants, VOTERS beholding to them and the US Citizens, get a fair answer for what is a perplexing problem, one that does not compromise the Laws, Americans have had to live under, all of their lives.

Keith you may want to modify these ideas, but at no point, should any form of Amnesty be allowed, even after jumping through 11 years of hoops, however their children can and our CITIZENS, the ONLY CITIZENS.

The Congresses Job and The President Job

Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough and many Republicans, believe Rep. Harry Reid (DSL) is scared of a vote to end Funding, not even remotely true.

02/06/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

News shows love this arranged argument, this false argument, they want to suppose, their out of order straw argument is valid and it’s not, the Nation wants out of Iraq, the election showed that was clearly the position of the Nation. Republicans and Pundits, paid Analyst and surrogates, want to add in their, expose some factions vote, we want to, show how scared, some of these Democrats are of cutting of the funding, i.e. De-funding the troops in the field, that is what they code in their arguing for, more resolutions in the most acceptable Resolution, so Republicans, by party line vote, blocked the vote to discuss the excepted and most by-partisan Resolution.

Republicans want too included two additional arguments they want a vote on de-funding the troops and they want McCain’s, Resolution, which agrees with the Presidents failed Plan and which, McCain signed on too after the meeting at the White House, just before the 06’ Elections, of which, all the Republicans in attendance, signed on too as well. Republicans, refuse to wait to vote, after the by-partisan Resolution has been, discussed and voted on.

This agreement, Levin & Warner, was a hedge for those who didn’t agree with the President, this is what Bush wanted, he wanted the Republicans to introduce all false arguments as valid, as the Nations resolved majority turned against Republicans and Bush, they knew they were out of power, after the election, so to force as best they can, votes on all minority views in additional Resolutions, even the borderline Resolutions, even the funding question, but Republicans and the President, continues frame any funding questions as “not supporting the troops,” “cutting off, Armour and Bullets, in the face of the enemy,” these and others continued falsehoods are fostered on the American viewing publics ears and there, absolutely false.

Bush knows, it’s Congresses job, too hear the Presidents Power of the Plans for War, agree, or not agree and fund, or not fund, Congress reserves their Constitutional Executive Power of the Purse, however they can hear the plan and not agree and not fund, this is the Power and job of the Congress, but because, of News Shows, Echo Chambers and Pundits, Surrogates and Analyst, they have been able to keep this false argument before the American public, frustrating the Majority’s voted valid argument and resolve, it’s like 7 out of 10 say, we vote “no confidence in the Presidents Plan” and the 2 of the 3 minority, want to do what the President plan lays out and the remaining 1, wants to take away the Congresses power to use the Purse, which force can be used too subtlety persuade the President to follow the Majority’s, voted mandate.

The Vote was taken in November and the 3 out of 10 lost, so they want to scream and cry about their argument is as valid as the majority’s and want EQUAL billing and a vote on their arguments, at the same time as the majority voted Resolution to discus, just too talk about the majority mandated will of the Nation.

It’s the Presidents job to come up with plans, if the Congress will is to not agree with the plan and if the President dose not agree with Congress conclusion, after turning the Presidents plan down, the President can find another plan agreeable to the Congress, or force the Plan the President wants on the Congress and the Nation mandated majority, however Congress can in turn vote non-bindingly, “we disagree,” and a non-binging Resolution is a “vote of no confidence, in your plan, Mr. President.” Finally, Congress can, control funding and can use it too, cut off funds for the war.

Here’s where, the News Shows and the Pundits, Surrogate and paid Strategist and Analyst, foster the false argument, repeatedly arguing, into the Echo Chambers, willing to create and allow and support any arguments voiced as valid. Ok, this frustrates the new majority, because those fresh out of power want the new majority to be fair with them, knowing they were not even remotely fair with the new majority just weeks ago.

The New Majority has decided too, broker a By-Partisan Resolution Levin & Warner, that closely fits the Nations Majority view, as a first step too exercising their Congressional Constitutional Powers, this first step, a vote of NO CONFIDENCE, in the form of a by-Resolution. The next step, if this does not bring the President back to Congress with another Plan, Congress can go “Binding Resolution,” and next Congress can “cut off funding for future war plans” and force the President too start re-deployments and withdrawal of troops.

Bush wants to call congress on their power and make using it embarrassing, too exercise, this is only possible, if the false arguments, that using the Power of the Purse, will take a bullet out of the troops rifle, in the middle of combat, it’s like Bush wants surrogates to argue, as valid, Democrats in the majority, will send troops out in to harms way, with empty guns to defend them selves, when that’s not true, not even remotely true, Bush can keep the troops there, KNOWING he has no FUNDING to keep the troops in bullets, that would be on Bush, not Congress.

Bush must make it appear, the Nations Vote was wrong and Congress is wrong, so he has forged an agreement with his outgoing party to frustrate the Nation and their elected Majority. Think about it, Bush would never say to the Nation, your all wrong and I’ am right, Bush will never say; I Bush will not listen to the Majority’s of the Nation, I Bush will refuse to listen to your elected Majority Representatives, they and the Nation will do as I say, I Bush will do what I want, YOU DON”T TELL BUSH, BUSH TELLS YOU… WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

Bush is saying this and more, in his actions and his ignorance of the will of the Majority’s elected Mandate… I AM Bush, do as I say, stop telling me you’re the majority, I do not care what you want and I AM the majority and I Bush AM not going to do what the simple minded minority-majority wants me to do.

Now my (R) party is engaged in frustrating the New Democratic Majority, so I Bush do not have to face the Nations Mandate.

Republicans want to neuter their own power, or make Congress afraid to use their Power, it’s reverse Psychology, this Power of the Purse is not really power, it’s Un-American Power, if you use it and it only kills our troops, in the field, if we use it, just do what the president tells us to do, (he, he, we want Americans to hate you like they hate us). Give us our Vote, for our Resolutions and castrate yourselves, so the ONLY POWER REMAINS with BUSH.

Republicans want to take off the table, any cutting off of Funds

and give McCain’s Resolution a pass, to foul the waters and say, if you want a vote on the Levin & Warner Resolution, give us our resolutions, they also say; why won’t you Democrats, come up with an alternative to Bushes Plan, we turned down Bushes plan, it’s Bushes job to come up with an alternative, if he doesn’t want a vote of “No Confidence” and Congress will vote no confidence… get it… it's Bushes job, it's not the senate’s job and if it wasn’t Bushes Job, the Senate would be running the war.

02/06/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

I’ am always amazed at Republicans, they want a fair floor in the Congress, don’t treat us as we treated you, we want our voices and resolutions heard and voted on, even though we did allow you to vote on anything, but what we Republicans brought to floor for well over the last 6 years. Now the Majority is on the other foot and some Resolutions and Bills will not go together, after we have this discussion and vote, we will consider your Resolution.

Republicans want to take all talk of cutting off funds off the table, they want to gut the Democrats of that power, then they will not have to vote for the best non binding resolution, they also do not want Democrats to come up with an alternative Plan, and they play this falsehood to every echo chamber they find, next they say; you can criticize, but not if you don’t have a plan, as if that argument is valid, it’s not.

It’s Bushes job as President to come up with the plans, together with the Military leaders and if Congress does not like the plan, they have the Right and Power to turn it down for funding. This is not, as Republican want all to know and believe, IT’S NOT, NOR NEVER CAN BE, NOT… SUPPORTING THE TROOPS, its just not so, not even remotely true. But Republicans keep saying it’s so. The News Shows Host must call them on this, if no Democrats are there to rebut this blatant and false, argument, parading as fact, their straw argument.

First rule of twisting the truth: get them to argue with your false premise, preferably, several false arguments.

Republicans are continuing to say, you can’t say leave Iraq, if you don’t have an answer for what will happen, when we leave, this is another false statement, yes we can leave and Iraq will find it’s level and either the Iraq government will stand up, or it will fold.

I believe this, about Iraq, the present Iraq government is a model of the US leadership and Private Contractors in Iraq some want to help and most are receiving tons of money, they are getting kickbacks and so are the Iraqi’s, they no more, know how to Govern, then the Republicans governed for the last 6 years, just like three blind mice, anything Bush said they blindly followed, never asking any questions, no ethics Committee, no Oversight, Republicans never wanted any one to take a close look at what was purposely going slow, milking every dime, fix this and wait for them to blow it up, each contract was bloated and kept getting bigger, because of the continued attacks, a self perpetuating economy.

The sad part is, when Bush found no WMD’s and it took very little time to break down the few Alqeada, the insurgence were next, they became unwilling partners in this fares, I wouldn’t be surprised if, they is some twisted way are not getting kickbacks and cuts, black-marketing goods, they have become use to the underground economy and the local power they hold.

Why else would Republicans, block a vote, knowing that block would spell their doom as a party Knowing the Nation will explode, when they carry out their plan to keep a vote from the Democrats, why would they as a minority hold, literally the same position against the surge, but block the vote, just to discus the Resolution that dose exactly, what they all agree they want? And the bringing up of the two competing resolutions is crap, they can vote on them next, after the Resolution they know is best, just not now and Republicans know it.

There is a lot of truth in these words and a lot of questions that need to be ask and answered.

If Republicans block a vote on Discussion of the Resolution,

those opposing, will pay a heavy, heavy price; Republicans will be now seen, as keeping the Stay the Course Failed Strategy in place in Iraq and defying the November Elections.

02/05/07

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Republicans want two other Resolutions voted on, one that divides Democrats the other that divides Republicans, the one on the docket for a floor Discussion vote is the best of the non-binding Resolutions. Republicans have until 5:30 today too back off, or suffer the wrath of the Nation.

You know in a way, the nation bears a large part of today’s events in Congress, the people who voted to keep these blocking Republicans in office, share today’s events, some in the Nation wanted these Republicans to stay in office, they wanted there votes to block the majority of voters representatives and today, it will show.

This will escalate the Democrats too, move to a binding Resolution, that’s the next step. The President wants too get the Democrats to cut off funding, so he can say, there endangering the troops, I Bush will send as many troops as I see fit and Congress has no say, not even purse strings say, they cannot block my lead, the purse string power is not really power, unless I Bush the King agree to let them use it, I am the Unitary Executive King, I have spoken.

Any cut in funding, against Bush sending troops, will be shown as not supporting the troops Bush believes, if he sends them, the Congress has no other duties, but to fund his every moves, when it comes to wars, they serve only to rubber stamp, his will. And the Nation voting and saying they want out, is their right, but has no effect on, I am the King, they have but to follow my lead and SHUT THE ____-UP.

You can poll your grandmother and it makes no difference to me, I am the King, Kings don’t do what the majority votes to have happen, I’ am the only decider when it comes to wars, if I the King, send troops over a cliff, into an ABYSS and spend money into a black hole, the Congress the Nation have but to comply and keep their disloyal mouths shut. I have lead America through, mistake filled leadership and, I am not sorry for having spent American money and lives, I King Bush, will spent all of these until, I win, if not, I will turn it over too the next President and it results and mistakes will be there’s too solve.

Democrats have plans; many, for instance, ISGR, Baker & Hamilton; OUT OF IRAQ, George McGovern, William R, Polk and many more, some bi-partisan, some purely Democratic, some Republican.

In the meantime, Take an immediate POLL, ask: How many think, there should be a vote, to allow discussion on the Resolution on the floor of the senate.
I know, there is no way, in AMERICA; one News show will post the POLL, or the RESULTS.

Minimum Wage Verses, Tax Cuts for Business, one has been ongoing the other has been waiting.

02/01/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

I see where you have been championing Tax cuts for small businesses and want them tied to the minimum wage increase, I find not strange to hear an devout Republican wanting this combination. Democrats for year, nearly ten years have been trying to get a wage hike for workers across America and for years the major opponent to workers getting a raise has been Republican predominantly.

Lets look at the last 9 plus years, there have been Tax increases and Tax cuts, there has been Ear Marks and the has been Pork Projects, much on both sides of the Isles and you sir have had your share of both.

Since the last two rounds of Tax cut your party rubber stamped into the Tax landscape, which greatly these last two time, benefited the upper end of the American tax payers, was suppose to spur jobs and small business growth, well there has been some jobs alright, but there has been job lost and the ones replacing these lost jobs, has been jobs of lower wages.

I for one have watched, B1 Visa and others, filled the high tech jobs, while Service Industry jobs have come in place of the Manufacturing job, which paid a higher wage, Outsourcing, Downsizing, Off Shoring, Corporate Headquarters moving out of the USA, taking Corporate Welfare with them and jobs, has been a fact of life.

For 9 plus years since the last wage increase, American big and small businesses have had it all there way, the cost of Materials and production goes up, they pass it on to the consumer, Taxes go down, nothing is passed to the worker, the cost of health benefits goes up and the that cost is passed at a rate of 10% plus for the last 6 plus years to the workers, Cost of living goes up, wages have not kept pace, the Feds cut LGA Funds to the State, the State, cuts Funds to the Cities, the State and Cities raise the Cost of services, a stealth tax, for consumers is realized for the workers.

At every turn over the last 9 plus years workers have had no choice, no raise that was for them, but Business has had every advantage, to adjust there bottom line on the backs of the consumer and the workers, labor deserves a raise, just for them.

Now doom and gloom from, mostly Republicans, about having to fire and not hire and telling everyone who will listen, this wage hike will kill jobs, these statements from people who will CHOOSE to retaliate, unless they are given some advantage along with the workers, well sir where were you when you cut taxes for the Businesses, I’ve heard no raise in wages for labor at that time, or for the cost of benefits for workers from you when you voted for these Tax cuts, but now I hear you want business to get a Tax break.

I say, raise the minimum wage and no to tax cuts for business and shame on you being for there, ONLY for businesses, in cutting taxes and not being there as well for workers, you neither cut nor raised anything for workers. It’s time workers got something just for workers, businesses, will have to adjust there bottom line and a little less profit will not hurt them as a stagnated wage has hurt the American worker.

US Troops sent into Iraq have won the conflict,

NOW Planning the withdrawal and Re-Deployment, is the next STEP, Stop the scare talk by Republicans.

01/28/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Republicans want to keep the focus on, precipitous withdrawal, Cut and Run, Defeatist is a word, only Republicans and Conservatives use they want the focus, only on the more horrible aftermath, which is a LIE, Iraq already is HORRIBLE and can only get a little worst, either NOW, or after more US deaths and Alqeada, well the US Troops have crushed Alqeada in Iraq, there are at best around 1,000 Alqeada in Iraq, mostly in one region, Anbar province, there are a few regions of Iraq, that are engulfed in a Civil War, between Sunni’s and Shiite’s.

News Shows have the best opportunity’s to keep bringing the discussion, back to the EXIT PLAN, Iraq is a Victory for the US Troops, Bush refuses to let go and DECLARE that VICTORY, because he wants some of the credit for defeating the Civil Conflict and he want the argument coupled with Iran, Alqeada.

Alqeada IS defeated in Iraq, Iran is not the problem, Bush and other want to link, to Alqeada, or the Civil Conflict, yes there are some Iranian, Syrians, insurgents, but These agitators are not the US’s problem in Iraq.

Bush wants, to force a conflict with Iran, over a few crossing the borders to join the fight in Iraq, not as big a deal as Bush wants the American people to believe, Bush now wants the Nuclear questions about Iran to tie in to Iraq, he cannot make the connection openly, so he being as provocative as he can, by moving in the Gulf, hoping for a provocation to attack and embargo Iran, then he will impose a No-Fly Zone and his linking and distraction, will be complete.

By keeping Iraq going, it complicates, that’s what Bush wants, this nefarious connection, but at every opportunity, Congress and the news Shows need to keeps pushing for Bush to declare the Victory, at least keep asking every Surrogate and Apologist and Conservative Annalist and especially Administration Official and Pundit spinning for staying the course, hold their feet to the fire, ask them why won’t Bush DECLARE THE VICTORY, the US Troops have WON, the US Troops deserve this STATEMENT, from Bush. America, tell your elected representative, too talk about bringing the Troops HOME and do it in a fazed withdrawal and re-deployment.

Ask these questions about the Victory and withdrawal and Redeployment and keep asking!!

Declare the VICTORY, Tell America and the TROOPS what they deserve to hear, the US has defeated Alqeada in Iraq.

The Civil Conflict is Iraq’s to win or lose, we can help, but they must lead.

Democrats want to fix, a fixable Social Security

Democrats want to fix, a fixable Social Security, Republicans want to kill it and open up Risk, on the Stock Market, allow more winning and losing for Pensions, that’s the difference between the two party view.

01/26/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins


Wake up call Republicans, the Main Stream, voted against Republicans, because they were tired of Republican leadership, tired of drunken spending, tired of earmarks, tired of, crooks and lies, tired of arrogant attitudes of, America didn’t vote out Republican, just for a whim Republicans attitude of “we don’t need the half of the country, they don’t think like we do and talk against our leadership, their all un-American to us Republicans,” Republicans are too sure of their selves, they want everyone to agree too do things that are not in there interest, the issues, like Social Security, Republicans and Democrats simply spent every dime that came into the SS Trust Fund and both parties know, putting the money back is the simple answer.

Republicans are fundamentally against social engineering, Republicans believe in the strong surviving and the weak falling to the wayside and oh yeah the poor are good for wars, the poor that is. Republicans believe the free market is the only way for the people to live, no matter the ones at the top, keep all the wealth and only want a chance to make a dime of the retiree’s pensions, putting their hard earned money into the Stock market, where it’s fair game, higher risk, some will win and some will, you know lose.

Democrats don’t want gambling with people’s future’s, and want the money back and that’s the difference, Democrats know they agreed to take and spend the money, both parties, signed the I.O.U’s. Clinton proved by Paying down the debt and putting money back in the SS Trust Fund, you make it secure, Democrats want to do that for Medicare and Medicaid.

Republicans want to get rid of Social Security; they don’t want to pay back the money signed away. And America here’s the way Republicans and some Democrats play the Trust Fund, they say, there were 10 or 12 people, working for each retiree, back in the day, now there is three and soon two, working for each retiree.

America, News Show Host, Elected Representatives, just one person with “GUTS,” ask these Questions about Social Security; how did… Clinton shore-up Social Security? How much Money since 1935, has both parties signed away… and SPENT out of the SS Trust Fund, the TOTAL AMOUNT, get and answer? What would happen, if ALL the MONEY taken out of the SS Trust Fund were PUT BACK, every DIME?

For those who voted for Bush

For those who voted for Bush "Whatever you voted for, you did not vote for failure." And for those who did not, [failure is what you got.]

01/26/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Bush gets it, but remember, he has never admitted the obvious, in the face of failure, time and time again Bush does the exact opposite, so surge he wants, surge he gets, Republicans are hurting from all the scandals and the losses and Republicans feel they lose because the people were against, the bad guys and not the Republicans.

Republicans don’t get it, they supported a mistake and when the mistake is shown to be a fiasco, they call every one who, doesn’t want to follow and stay the course, with the lies and failure, a defeatist. Republicans, America gets it, and failure is what Iraq is, and the Civil War is not the US Troops fight, Alqeada in Iraq are not that many, Alqeada is plentiful in Afghanistan, America, what is not a failure is the US Troops, they have completed the task set before them, they are winners, it’s time to step back, and let Iraq step forward, American Troops will re-deploy to defensible position around Iraq and on the Borders.

So here we are today, unable to stop Bush from, pouring out American Treasures into the boiling cauldron, that is a burgeoning Civil Conflict, with very little Alqeada to fight, except in Anbar province, Bush is pushing too share some, any success in Iraq Civil conflict, there is win in Alqeada, they have refused to give bush a victory, so all that left is the Civil Conflict, Bush will pour out as many lives it takes, either Maliki breaks with Muqtada and disarms him and that will not happen, Muqtada is so strong now, it would take 120,000 US Troops to do it all by there selves, using over whelming force, the Powell doctrine.

But be it Known America, Bush has failed, the US Troops have won the conflict they were sent do. It always amazes me when Conservatives and Republicans go to Iraq, every solider they talk too wants to stay and don’t want to leave and all say, a cut and run will be bad and not one solider speaks against the conflict, it’s a mixed mess, Bush has them in, the US Troops want to kill Alqeada, but have very few targets and the Republicans and Conservative know this, so they tie the two conflicts together when they come back to the US and get on TV and the Conservative Talk Radio, if you separate the two one is a war, the other a civil conflict.

Bush does this as well, speaking like the Civil Conflict is Alqeada and the Alqeada is the civil Conflict. Bush goes on after making these miss-leading statements to Rah, Rah the public, he’s talking too, he pumps up his rhetoric, we must not lose to the terrorist, America, Bush lumping the two together, don’t drink the KOOL AID, this is the same trap in speaking, he has pulled on the News Show Host and Bush’s surrogates and Conservative analyst and the American people, America has woke up to this tactic in speaking, now don’t let any apologist try it again.

Iraq ‘s Alqeada has been crushed by our Victorious Troops, Democrats, start proclaiming their Victory. Democrats must separate the two… ONE IS A, DIWINDLING WAR WITH THE REMANTS OF ALQEADA; THE OTHER IS A CIVIL CONFLICT, WHICH IS IRAQ’S CONFLICT TO WIN OT LOSE.

No one voted for Bush to fail, but fail Bush did, now it’s time to take our victory and step back, the civil conflict is Iraq’s, we fight in Iraq, Alqeada and Alqeada is small and manageable, today.

Turn this failure statement by Bush on its ear

Republicans in the Resolution committee, wimp-ed out

Republicans in the Resolution committee, wimp-ed out, Norm Coleman, was the most striking, for me seeing he was so against, the surge, but as usual, he wants to quibble about nuances.

01/24/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

They don’t want the cutting off of funds, they don’t want the surge, so they make meaningless amendments, to gut even a non-binding Resolution, then when they have no more option and do not want the surge, they vote against the resolution.

Voinovich, Lugar, Corker, Berkley, Murkowski and 4 other Republicans. Coleman’s Amendment, wanted:

Coleman's amendment which would have made a distinction between areas rocked by sectarian violence like Baghdad, and places like Anbar province where U.S. forces are fighting insurgents. The amendment signaled disapproval of sending more troops to the former but not the latter. From the Mercury News, MercuryNews.com

Coleman is still in the Bush surge camp, he has not resolution to change course, he wants Bush to change course, but his TV sound bite was just that a sound bite, for the TV, he’s in big trouble back home, he voted with the president at near 98% clip for the last 6 plus years.

Republicans site the enemy is listening, as reasons to speak like there, a reason for there not voting to get the troops out of Iraq, it’s what I call speaking out of both sides of your mouth, with the public and the present majority in Congress, but the truth is The minority will talk loud and do nothing, but allow Bush to escalate, so they as a party can keep the troops in Iraq and conflict engaged, until 09’, they it will be completely the Democrats conflict to lose and LOSE will be the words, Republicans, Conservatives and every right-winger can and will repeat into any and all echo chambers.

After Bush leaves office, the “get us out of Iraq voices,” will be coming from the suddenly anti-war Republicans and they will point their campaign right at Democrats. Congress has to rein in Bush before; he finds a provocation to attack Iran.

I don’t want to do anything that would endanger the troops;

America keeps hearing from Congressperson, almost exclusively Republican, Conservative, I don’t want to do anything that would endanger the troops; well what would endanger the troops? We need to hear that fact base discussion.

01/24/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

America and I hear this oft-repeated refrain, mostly heard by the RIGHT, Capping troops levels, will that hurt the troops in the field, yes if there’s no contingency for extraordinary circumstances, but if there is an allowance for the unexpected, Congress can cap troop levels. Whether it’s binding, or non-binding, Congress must act, The ISG is a Plan and the Resolution offered by Sen. Biden and Dodd, with Sen. Chuck Hegel, it’s a step, I would prefer it be BINDING, but none the less, this is a first step… BUSH is already implementing, his surge into Baghdad.

Secretary RICE was ask at the last Senate Hearing; what happens if Maliki doesn’t act? She had “NO ANSWER,” none, nada, zilch, bubcus, and "0." And he could of ask, what was consequence, for all the last times, we surged, I’ll tell you a fat “0.”

There has been some who suggest, Congress can cut off the money for the troops, some say now money, some say future money, but the truth is BUSH already has the funds too do what He is doing, so that’s straw argument, used to try an inflame some in their base. Congress can stop future funding, but “no funding of today troop movements,” can be affected by Congress, for “today’s troop surge,” being moved forward by Bush as we speak and write “today.”

Congress must ACT, to stop Bush…

Iraqi’s are engaged in a Civil War, that started 1,500 years ago, surge–up, surge-down, Bush, Cheney, Rice, And those who think, let’s give the President the deference, once again… America voted and said, “LET’S NOT AND SAY WE DID… AND WE DID.”

There are TWO Clear Majorities Voices,

Iraq’s 60 to 80% majority say;” it’s OK to kill Americans,” America voted and 65% still says; “get the Troops, out of Iraq’s Civil War.”
01/24/2007
By Bruce H, Scroggins

Barbara Boxer, said it best, Iraqi’s say; it OK, by a clear majority, to kill Americans and the American people want, Congress to get US Troops out of Iraq, Re-deploy, then make a hard right, into Afghanistan and go after Ben Hidin’ like a the police went after Rodney King, like the police went after Amadu Dialo, no more nambi pambi, repeating escalations, been there done that, go upside Ben Hidin's head and down the other side, then repeat liberally.

Congress cut off the money… bring the troops home and the first step is to re-deploy to the bases and the borders of Iraq and send a huge portion to Afghanistan and gut both borders, drag Ben Hidin’s guts out into the PUBLIC SQUARE. Not another American life for people who believe and say, “it’s OK to kill Americans.”

Congress, EVERYTHING is on the table, nothing is off the TABLE, Take freaking Gloves off, yes there are families and troops, who say, the conflict their in is OK, or the right thing to do. But there voices, overwhelming voices, of families who speak in the MAJORITY, no more repeat “Escalating Surges,” been done, didn’t work, when it was thousand more and thousands less, didn’t work.

The time for change was several yesterdays ago:
The time to act is NOW.

With, every word out of Bush’s mouth, his approval as leader/CEO of America, Drops

and the State of the Union will bring the basement closer than it ever has been before, with every word.

01/22/2007

By Bruce H, Scroggins

America is fed up, all the way to their political convictions, more on both sides of the political divide Republicans, Democrats and Independents, are coming to the conclusion, America as a Nation is at stake and Bush is not listening and not acting in the nations interest. All the Polls show support, approval falling like F-14 with engines out of gas, for two full minutes. There’s no re-start, there’s no fuel tanker, it’s now up the Bush to eject, or crash and America, will not stand for a crash, we will pull the eject button remotely, with the battery back-up fail-safe… IMPEACHMENT.

The tide is rising, in America, the web is leading and the grass roots is following, with every… every word coming from Bush’s mouth and the State of the Union, will bring the collective voices to a deafening crescendo. Bush will say very little about Iraq, or Afghanistan and Osama Ben Ladin remember the murder of thousands, Bush will offer plans about Domestic issues, Bush wants to change the focus, from his not listening to the majority.

So, here comes the State of the Union, it will as plain as the smirk on his face, Bush will move in completely opposite direction from the will of the nation and in the State of the Union, speak as if, the nation will to get out of Iraq, was never important to him, he will speak like the Nations clear November election, had no effect and he cares little for what the people want. Bush will speak like there never was an issue about what the nation wants, with him.

Bush will advance state based plans for Health Care, no plans for big budget ideas, like the Medicare /Medicaid Bill, or Social Security, Bush will pointedly stay away from the hot button issues, he will speak glowingly about the economy and jobs, not about what kind of jobs, Bush will talk about making the Tax cuts permanent nothing will be heard about, New Orleans, this is a bet.
