    Money governs......the peoples money
    Without Biden laying out a plan and an end goal he will lose the public, especially in an election year
    Bush had this problem in the 2006 election with Iraq

    Problem? He was re-elected.

    Actually, correction: 2006 Election?

    He was elected in 2000 by the Florida Supreme Court

    then re-elected in 2004 by the people.

    What does 2006 has to do with anything - with GWB?

    The war was a large factor in the Republicans losing a lot of electoral power
    Bad wars kill parties in charge

    The 2006 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, in the middle of Republican President George W. Bush's second term. In a political revolution that broke twelve years of Republican rule, the Democratic Party was swept into majorities in Congress, the governorships, and state legislatures across the country, which was the first and only time either party did so since the 1994 elections. These elections were widely categorized as a Democratic wave.

    In the Senate, Democrats won a net gain of six seats to take a narrow majority in that chamber. Democrats picked up 31 seats in the House of Representatives, and after the election Nancy Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House. In the gubernatorial elections, Democrats won a net gain of six seats. Nationwide, Republicans failed to win any congressional or gubernatorial seat that was held by a Democrat going into the election. This was also the first time since 1994 where a party did not lose a single incumbent in a gubernatorial or congressional election.

    newsflash, Republicans made America into the Russians during the Iraq war. What do you think Putin's true support is amongst the people?

    Your wikipedia snippet makes no mention of the war and its effect on the midterms.

    Just your opinion, unless you can find a Foxie :p headline to make the point, it is moot. And BTW is your point that Dubya and gang lied about reasons to invade Iraq and that is why Reps lost?

    Pres Biden hasn't lied about Ukraine, but former Pres Dumpus sure has. Over in a day, never would have happened under his watch. PooPoo had a brilliant strategy to invade. Did I miss any other beauties?

  9. Ben Hodges is 100% correct here.100 FRIGGING PER CENT CORRECT.

    Regular viewers will know that I think the smartest decision the Ukrainians have made of late it to NOT send their men into the minefield meatgrinder the way the Russians would have but instead focus on trapping them within zones and cutting off supplies and taking out their senior command. Americans want to watch tv and see the little drama advancing every day. Pardon my English but IT DON'T WORK THAT WAY. That's how the Russians work. "show me a problem and I will throw 20,000 men at it and then show you 20,000 dead men."

    The only point I would add to this article is that in regard to taking out senior command, taking out logistics hubs, taking out oil depots, ammo dumps, and aerial defenses, winter does not make much difference- as the Russians learned last winter. Let the Russians continue to pile bodies into the various front line areas and let em dig in all they want. Then cut off their supplies. The Ukrainians are vastly, vastly outnumbered. They cannot do Ghenghis Khan dumbo stuff.
