The Dems talk about a "quick-reaction force in the region." ..hello...we will take people out, leaving a small group that will be even MORE vulnerable to attack and death.

That's what got me about the implicit phoniness of this mythical force. Where would they be kept and how would they be supported (and targeted for terrorist attacks themselves)?

More certainly, as soon as they were sent in to fight the now much-larger civil war, by the first day the Democrats would be calling for a publicly-declared exit strategy or immediate withdrawal.

Exactly!! Where are the media's probing questions about HOW the Dems are going to follow through on this. The Dems have NEVER had a plan except to try to destroy Bush's presidency....even if that means losing the war and destroying the morale of the troops.

I was flipping through the channels and ended up on MSNBC for a few minutes. THe blonde anchor-woman had asked the journalist in the field if the debate back home had had any effect on the morale of the troops. The reporter said "No" because the troops in Iraq firmly felt that what the American people were hearing about the war was NOT what they were experiencing. That the troops saw daily progress and despite the loss of comrades, felt their mission was important and succeedful.

The blonde anchor woman couldn't get off THAT topic fast enough and seemed pissed...she didn't want to hear that kind of talk.
