To the left, and the MSM, it only takes four senators to make a 'revolt' or a 'rebellion.' As has happened before to the Bush administration, the slim republican majority is not enough to overcome the RINOs in the bunch. These four are politicians playing politics with our lives.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona is again the leader of the pack that includes Sens. John Warner of Virginia, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine. The media calls it a 'revolt.' I call it a push to give the enemy an upper hand.
All Bush is asking for is what the Supreme Court said needed to happen, that is, to codify the way our intelligence operations have been operating. Bush said that those activities will stop unless they do. He further explained that he will not put our soldiers at risk of breaking the law or of being sued by a terrorist for trying to do their job. And until they do, we will no longer be able to get the helpful information we've been getting to stop future attacks. These politicians are risking our lives. We're the ones they need to be interested in protecting, not our enemy.
I have not been this angry with what's been going on in our government since Vietnam. Only this time, the battle ground will soon be in our streets if these RINO's and the democrats get their way.
McCain's attempt at equivalency with the terrorists is sickening to me. All the detainees we've captured are still alive, doing well, with a medical plan that no other prisoner in the world has. I remember the last time two of our soldiers were captured by these terrorists. They hacked them up with machetes.
McCain's objection is that if Bush's request was passed, that the terrorists will do the same. To think that this enemy would do the same is insane. They slaughter them. We could only hope that the terrorists would do the same. They would be alive and well. In reality, the terrorists have no use for health care of their prisoners. They kill them.
McCain misses the mark entirely when he says that the Bush request would put our soldiers in some kind of jeopardy. It is us, here in the United States that would be in jeopardy, not our soldiers. Time has run out. Let your Senator know that you don't want them to give up on fighting this war, to do so would be at our own peril.

 AP - President Bush fought back Friday against a Republican revolt in the Senate over tough anti-terror legislation and rejected warnings that the United States had lost the high moral ground to adversaries. "It's flawed logic," he snapped.
