Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) honors all those Americans who have taken an active part in the Global War on Terror, whether as first responders protecting the homeland, as servicemembers overseas, as diplomats and intelligence officers, or in other roles;

Diplomats and intelligence officers? Like Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame?

If you read through all the Whereases in the resolution, you won't find any mention of Saddam's fantasy of one day building a nuclear weapon in this rewrite of rationale for invading Iraq. That omission plus the honors for diplomats and intelligence officers suggests the real purpose of this do-nothing legislation: it's the Joseph Wilson Appeasement Act of 2006!

Surely this signals a new era of reconciliation between the Republicans and the American people. Soon we will see an honest assessment of the intelligence loss inflicted by the outing of Brewster & Jennings, the consultancy front used as cover by Plame and other CIA agents. The drunk American responsible for tipping off Iran to the fact that we could decrypt their communiques will surely be named and given the traitor's expulsion he deserves.

All hail the coming era of honesty that will allow us to learn from and correct our errors rather than denying, obscuring and perpetuating them! All hail theJoseph Wilson Appeasement Act of 2006!

As I recall Jimmy Duncan stated publicly in late 2002 that intelligence information he had indicated that Iraq was not a threat to anybody outside its borders and would not be for many years.

He also had the audacity to predict that war with Iraq would cost the American taxpayers in excess of 200 billion dollars.

How different the world might be if Mr. Bush had chosen to finish the task before him in Afghanistan – a task which enjoyed the blessing of most of the civilized world – instead of marching off into a swamp because that ogre tried to kill his daddy.

Might get a kick out of this, from a local boy done big in the world.  It's actually rather sobering.
