email from Kerry for President, cut and run from Iraq

Posted on 06/20/2006 11:29:29 AM PDT by Gopher Broke

Dear xxxxxx,

We need you to stand with us -- and we need you to do it now.

In the next 24 to 48 hours, we will go to the Senate floor to press for passage of the Kerry-Feingold Amendment calling for the redeployment of U.S. combat troops out of Iraq by a deadline certain. Our country desperately needs a new vision for strengthening our national security, and it starts by redeploying U.S. forces out of Iraq so we can wage and win a more effective war on terror and give Iraqis the best chance to stand up for a stable Iraq.

Tell your Senators: support the Kerry-Feingold Amendment on Iraq

Our troops have served valiantly in Iraq. Under extraordinarily difficult circumstances, they've done their job. Now, it's time to put the future of Iraq where it belongs: in the hands of the Iraqi people and their leaders. And it's time to listen to General George Casey and acknowledge that the indefinite presence of large numbers of U.S. combat forces in Iraq will weaken chances of defeating the insurgency and weaken our ability to fight the global terrorist networks that threaten us today.

In recent days, we've seen Republican leaders in the House and Senate shamelessly reject the opportunity for a genuine, meaningful debate on Iraq. They've resorted to a Karl Rove strategy of blindly endorsing President Bush's failed "stay the course" policy in Iraq and challenging the courage and patriotism of anyone who dares to point out the disastrous consequences of their failed approach.

It's time for every Senator to reject the lack of wisdom in their Iraq policies and the lack of decency in their Iraq politics.

Tell your Senators: support the Kerry-Feingold Amendment on Iraq

We have to reject calls for an unquestioning, open-ended endorsement of George W. Bush's endless commitment of U.S. troops in Iraq. And we have to reject the "play it safe" conventional wisdom, inside D.C. punditry that would have Democrats stand on the sidelines without doing everything in our power to change policies that we know are deeply flawed and dangerous.

We urge you to tell your Senators that it's time for a new direction. Ask them to endorse the Kerry-Feingold amendment calling for the redeployment of combat troops out of Iraq by a hard and fast deadline. Tell them to act for one simple reason: it's the right thing to do -- for Iraq, and for the United States.

Tell your Senators: support the Kerry-Feingold Amendment on Iraq

Act now to add your voice to tens of thousands of others from around the country who are actively supporting the Kerry-Feingold amendment. We'll see to it that your letter gets delivered to the Senate.

This is a critical vote on the most crucial issue facing our country. It's time for every member of the Senate to send an important message that we must change course. And it's time for you to demand leadership from those you have sent to Washington to represent your views.

We urge you to act immediately -- and we thank you for standing with us on this critical issue.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold and John Kerry

"Russy & Johnny in '08!"

They can sew up the Blue State vote.

Then the next day they can declare a "moral victory."

This is a landmark occasion. John Kerry has never ventured any significant legislation despite holding office for decades.

"I was in Viet Nam"

"I have a plan"

"Seared, seared into my memory"

This guy is really turning into a joke. (even moreso than before)

Liberals are great at cut, now if they'd just run - to some other country.

by a deadline certain.

Even in typed communications, his bulbous douchebagginess still pokes through.

Kerry wants to telegraph war plans so Americans will die. Since 9/11 haven't the American people suffered enough?

The Kerry and Feingold email, and the Senate debate of a resolution to leave Iraq highlights effeminate, spiritless and typical behavior for this nation, because the United States has a well-deserved reputation for abandoning countries at strategic moments or in desperate plight. During the Cold War a few examples would be crises in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala, Cuba, and Lebanon. More recently consider our apathy towards Somalia, Rwanda, Uganda, and Sudan. The Muslims of the Salafi/Wahhabi heresy remember our failure to defend the sovereignty of our Iranian embassy, and subsequent lethargic responses to 15 major terrorist attacks under four presidents. They understand our affection for debating foreign policy models, until we escape commitment within elegant meanings for necessity, proportional response, multi-lateralism, and exit strategy. The self-congratulatory righteousness achieved is accurately perceived by those relying on us as turning a blind eye, agonizing over their losses from afar, or cutting and running.



We cannot use the words timeline, deadline, or exit strategy when those are code words for the type of actions mentioned above, and those words define us as a dysfunctional ally. The plan for withdrawal must be keyed to a pragmatic evaluation of events. All statements must emphasize that when Iraqi and U.S. governments agree certain conditions exist the disengagement proceeds to the next step. Only in this way can the Salafi/Wahhabi jihadists understand we intend to persevere in this generational conflict against them.

Dear Senator Scaredy & Feign&Old,

Pull down your slip cause your feathers are showing.
Thank God most of us Naval Officers served honorably
and aren't trying to subvert our troops in the field.

You played this chickensh** game before, but the rules have changed -
everyone over there volunteered to defend this nation, so I suggest you
