Don't forget about what LEVIN said on 4-29-04 ........
Senator LEVIN says Bush offered "to cut and run" in Iraq.(Senate floor)
Mr. LEVIN. Madam President, in the midst of the ongoing upsurge of the violence in Iraq, President Bush has offered two options for the United States. The first option is to stay the course; the second option is to cut and run. That is a false choice between staying the course and cutting and running. It is too typical of the black and white approach that this administration has repeatedly and unwisely taken.
Levin is a slimy political hack!
Yup, that's what I was thinking about. The talking points have already been written.
I hate Levin as much as the next guy, but he's saying that Bush is telling America there are only two choices-- his way or anybody else's way (which he says Bush would call cutting and running) and Levin is mad that Bush, in his opinion, isn't allowing for a third or fourth or fifth option that might be concocted by Democrats in DC without calling it cutting and running. He's not saying Bush has ever advocated cutting and running. He's actually more closely saying that Bush has accused Democrats of advocating such a policy.
