Bush Failed to Lay Out Plan in Iraq, say Congressional Democrats

VOA News ^ | Nov 30 2005 | Deborah Tate

[Hadean]

[Kerry] said the president's speech did not address the need to include support from Iraq's neighbors.

Support from who? Iran? Syria? What a dolt.

[FormerLib]

What was their exit plan for Kosovo and Bosnia again? I seem to have missed that one.

Bush Failed to Lay Out Plan in Iraq, say Congressional Democrats

Maybe the Democrats can't read?

National Strategy for Victory in Iraq

[4rcane]

Bush spells out his plan
Instead of saying, its a bad plan then spell out their own plan.
The Democrats say, Bush has no plan.

It seems that the "V" word isn't in their vocabulary.

"He's only been laying out the plan repeatedly for the last two years: train up the Iraq military, kill terrorists, and leave."

Exactly!

What they want is a date and time so that our enemy will lay low and when we're gone undo what Bush has done and make this war a disaster.

[dirtboy]

Congressional Democrats are criticizing President Bush's speech on Iraq, saying he failed to detail a strategy for the eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops.

I'm glad these guys weren't around during WWII. They would have demanded that FDR give detailed plans in public for the Normandy invasion.

[gaspar]

Speaking of "V", this is from the Voice of America. The smarmy-cutesy VOA is a shameful element of our foreign policy mix.

[McGavin999]

Well, see, that's why we have an all volunteer military. Some people aren't sharp enough to understand very plain, clear english. They would probably be able to understand it if the President drew pictures for them. Would that help?

That seal is, is so "french" of them!

[OkiMusashi]

Here we go again.....


Lytle: What is the U.S. exit strategy in Iraq?

Rumsfeld: It's what I just described. It is to see that we work with the Iraqis to pass off to them political responsibility for their country -- they already have a cabinet, they already have a governing council, they already have city councils all across that country, they're working on a constitutional process -- and see that they assume more and more of that responsibility as fast as they're capable of doing it. That's our goal. AND THE SAME THING'S TRUE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY. That's our exit strategy. - Wednesday, September 10, 2003

Sheeeesh .... Talking to Dems is like talking to a brick wall.

"This is something that really needs to be discussed," Mr. Lugar says. "What are the components of the Iraqi security forces? How do they interact with each other? Is there some central command that is Iraqi as opposed to the United States? Is there any coordination, as a matter of fact, between security forces town by town, as these towns are secured?"

Way to go 'Loogy... you 'stinkin POS!!

[InterceptPoint]

Methinks the Dems are starting to get worried that this war may be "won" before the next election. That would be a teal tragedy in their eyes. There is definitely a sense of urgency in their message. They're worried. No doubt about it.

[don'tbedenied]

Posting a document called "The Plan" on the Internet was simple but brilliant. Anyone who's been serious about following the War knows what the plan is but the D's and the MSM have been pretending there is no plan. So viola, a "plan" --37 pages long and available in PDF. Makes the D's have to say they don't like the plan which then forces them to actually state a reason they don't like it.
As you can see from the confused response to the "plan", there is no coherent criticism.

[Continental Soldier]

Once again the MSM has rushed to circulate the cowardly and traitorous responses of the Stalinist democrats of the anti-American party. In a democracy such as ours, one can only weep for those who will lose their lives because of those traitors.

[Kimmers]

LOL....

[Zacs Mom]

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.

But it cannot survive treason from within.



An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners openly.

But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely,
his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys,
heard in the very hall of government itself.

For the traitor appears no traitor.

He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims,
and he wears their face and their garments,
and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men.

He rots the soul of a nation.

He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city.

He infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A Murderer Is Less To Be Feared."

Cicero, 43 B.C.

PS ~ FYI, in cased any of you missed reading the thread which featured this U.S.News & World Report article: The (Very) Big Lie ... it's a damn fine read!

From the LA Times article "Democrats' War Opposition Not a United Front " (of all places):

"Many Democratic political strategists and foreign policy analysts have long believed the party can benefit more from criticizing Bush's handling of the war than from specifying an alternative."
