Harkin calls for troop pullout in Iraq
AP ^ | March 4 2006

Iowa Senator Tom Harkin has called for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, saying it's the only solution after recent religious violence in that nation.

Harkin's comments place him among the first members of Congress to publicly state that the war in Iraq has become a fight between Muslim factions.

The criticism follows a CBS poll last week that showed 65 percent of respondents disapproved of President Bush's handling of the war, his worst marks since the war started three years ago.

A White House spokesman says retreat before victory would be reckless.

If the situation is precarious, what good will pulling out the troops do? If we lose this thing, I will place the blame squarely on the Democrats.

All members of Congress have no balls except for the silk lining in their pockets. Not one is exempt. And don't forget it! Vote them all out of office, everyone of them. This problem is so rampant, no one sees it.

What will Harkin say when the terrorists start killing farmers in Iowa?

Will he pull out to Nebraska?

What a pitiful waste of skin!

It's a 'Politics in America 101' political strategy to guess what your opposition already plans to do that you have no problem with, and then DEMAND that it be done before they make it publicly known that's what the plan is. If I wanted to spend the time, I'd bet I could find a Machiavelli reference for this.

It makes the demander look really smart to the really dumb.

Whenever I see Harkin or even read his name I think about dancing to the Dean scream.

Isn't it time for Tom to make some more claims about himself shooting down MiGs over Vietnam again (later proven false)?

"and like Kerry did with the Communist Vietnamese in Paris?"

Or like Clinton did with the Communists in Moscow when he was a student.

It's gotta be about farm subsidies! Take out subsidies and close the borders and see you food prices go up by 50% overnight. But, we have no inflation.

He's not called "Cut and Run Tommy" for nothing. Cowards like Harkin and Murtha are a dime a dozen on the left.

Instead of blabbing why doesnt he introduce a bill to cut off the funding for the war .That perogative he has ,he is not the president so he can not order troops out himself ,so I believe he should shut the old pie hole.
