And the 06-08 Dem platform solidifies. Should be a fun election cycle.
And where exactly do y'all plan to redeploy our troops? Saudi Arabia? Jordan? Turkey? Iran? Israel?
To get out of Iraq and to try to avoid the political stigma of advoctating a cut-and-run policy (which is exactly what they're doing) the DemoRats been floating this idea of a "strategic redeployment" in neighboring countries for several months now. One of the guys I work with, who's a hard-core lefty, even suggested this to me as a viable policy during an intense debate we had last week. So its definitely sinking in among their rank and file left-wingers who know nothing about military operations and the real geo-political world.
My question here is (rhetorically, of course) has anyone of these DemoRat ignoramouses bothered to ask the aforesaid countries if they would even allow massive numbers of U.S. forces to be based on their terrotories? Israel would probably be most happy to have them, but I'm sure that one of the reasons for invading Iraq was because we absolutely had to get out of Saudi Arabia. I'm sure the Saudis do not want out roops back. What sheer stupidity!!!!!!!
Just like gelatin - translucent, shapeless, and repulsive. To paraphrase Osama bin Laden, if people have to choose between a strong horse and a jackass, they'll choose the strong horse.
Ha! You call that a platform. I especially liked the part about stationing the troops elsewhere in the region. A pull out without a pull out. This is a party that's struggling to redefine itself and failing miserably. 2006 isn't going to be a good year to be a Democrat.
