Former vice presidential candidate John Edwards, who is considering another run for the Democratic presidential nomination, said Saturday the United States should start pulling troops out of Iraq immediately.
The former senator from North Carolina told reporters America should "make it clear (to Iraqis) we are leaving, and the best way is to start leaving. We should take 40,000 combat troops out now."
Edwards, who has said he regretted his vote as a U.S. senator authorizing President Bush to invade Iraq, said he would ask the country's military leaders for a strategy "to have the (rest of the) troops out in roughly 12 to 18 months."
"There is no chance other countries in the world will help Iraq as long as we are an occupying force," he said.

Edwards is a shallow, opportunistic jerk.
Another idiot blowing his wad of b.s..
Edwards, Democrat traitor to the hilt. What a butt head!!!
Was he on The Waltons?
Oh, well.
This guy was a real cute space-filler with Kerry. Two major schiesters and losers. The Breck Girl did not do much for the campaign except the normal spreading of liberal lies and BS. If he were smart, as most libs are not, he would keep his mouth shut and continue to make his whip-lash Harry money.
Failed VICE presidential candidate. Someone who "served" ONE term in the Senate where he accomplished nothing.
I am so sure America cares what he says.
It's as if these dems are living on another planet. Don't they see what's happening in the Mideast? Aren't they the least bit curious as to why Iraq isn't joining with Iran and Syria in trying to destroy civilization? Could it be because Iraq now knows there's a better way to live than to try to blow itself back to the seventh century? I heard on Fox this morning some dem whining about how 60% of the American people think we're going about Iraq in the wrong way. I figure 50% of those are stupid idiotic dems who are anti-Bush losers and quitters no matter what the issue is, and 10% of that 60% are Republicans who are mad because we didn't turn Iraq into an Iraq-shaped glass parking lot in the first place. This cut-and-run cr*p just makes me so mad!!
Yes, I think you may be right!! I believe he played the part of "Elizabeth"!
{frantically searching for photo evidence}
But to the Liberals, losers advance, winners must apologize for winning.
...and the rest should read "to the mercy of those who would butcher them."
Yes, but his hair looks good!
The figure primping in the background is the Breck Girl, no?
America should "make it clear (to Democrats) we are not leaving, and the best way is to start ignoring democrats.
So sorry, I know it's the dinner hour, but this is a lovely shot.
The public does not want this. It is precisely this shadow of George McGovern looming over the Democrats that keeps many people from trusting them. They are just plain Not Serious™ about the war on terror, and the war on terror is serious business. |
Sure, John. The good people of North Carolina wouldn't elect you for dog catcher and your take on foreign affairs is as weighty as your hair.
My mistake. It's obvioulsly Mary Ellen, NOT Elizabeth!!!!!!!
(eewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)
Agreed. Does he still sport that growth on his lip, too? I always wondered why he didn't get it removed. I suppose he couldn't find a doctor in North America that would take his surgical case.
Edwards is a shallow, pandering, finger in the wind, thumb up his ass, blow dried, ambulance chasing metrosexual.
But is too stupid, to realize how by 2008, the country will be quite proud of the work our fighting men have done in Iraq, and quite impressed with the President who never waivered.
It sure seemed "smart" at the time, but how many democrats today put on their resume that they impeded the cold war at every step, prefereed the Soviet dictator over President Reagan, read Poetry with Ortega, and did every thing short of assisinating republicans to try to prevent missile defenses?
The honors you saw theis country give to Reagan will never be repeated in the death of a democrat ever again.
Unfortunately, his old man missed out on a more important withdrawal.
Edwards? What's he doing in the news again? Is there an ambulance strike?
Yep. Much to his ill fortune.
John (The Skirt) Edwards doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to military policy.John should talk to the military experts before he opens up his mouth and makes a fool of himself.
Edwards Wants Immediate Iraq Withdrawal
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
You cant always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
The Breck Boy still has national ambitions and is appealing to The Moonbat Left.
this loser could not even win his home state or birth state reminds me of loser "al gore" all he had to do was win Tn. and the election could not have been stolen
edwards is sdrawde spelled backwards and so is he.

You gotta concede one thing about Edwards: For being in his early 50s he does look good. I hope the same can be said about me when I turn 50.
Outstanding pics y'all
and that is snatched!!
