Kerry and Feingold form alliance on Iraq - Yahoo! News

The cottage industry of questioning motives, left and right, when it comes to any action at all by any Democrat, while no one but Helen Thomas has had the temerity to ask Chimpy why the hell he wanted to go into Iraq in the first place, as all of his stated reasons have turned out to be lies, is beginning to get on my last damn nerve.

The press should be questioning everything Bush and Cheney do. They have lied to us all repeatedly, they have outed a CIA officer, neutralazing Intelligence assets around the globe who were monitoring Iran's nuclear program. they have violated the constitution again and again and again with signing statements and secret spying programs, they have virtually robbed the U.S. treasury and put us in debt up to our grandchildren's eye-balls, they refuse to answer questions legally asked by congress (one the rare occassions when any are asked by this Rethug cover-up congress, and thats's only the beginning.

But here we get treated to every possible motive Kerry and Feingold could have, when they try to get our military the hell out of that nighmarish quagmire Bush got us into.

Ask the hard questions or get out of the news industry!

Kerry and Feingold form alliance on Iraq - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON - One epitomizes the Washington political establishment as the Democratic Party's most recent presidential nominee. The other is the quintessential Democratic outsider, proud to be the only senator to vote against the USA Patriot Act.

Notwithstanding their different histories, Sens. John Kerry and Russ Feingold joined forces last week to push a proposal that would have required troops to leave Iraq by July of next year. And they may soon have something else in common: Both are considering presidential races in 2008.

'It seems to be a marriage of convenience,' said Democratic consultant Dan Payne, a former Kerry Senate campaign strategist. 'Feingold wants to be considered of presidential stature, and Kerry wants to look like he can work with others to reach a compromise.'

Both Kerry, D-Mass., and Feingold, D-Wis., insist that politics has nothing to do with it.

'Not on subjects of war and peace,' Kerry said in a telephone interview. 'Not on subjects that involve young Americans in uniform in harm's way. As far as I'm concerned, the only consideration is what's the best policy, how do you advance the security of our country, and what do we do to do it?'"
