WASHINGTON — Two potential 2008 presidential candidates appealed Tuesday for the Senate to support their call to withdraw U.S. combat troops from Iraq"by a hard and fast deadline,"a position putting them at odds with most of their fellow Democrats.

"Our country desperately needs a new vision for strengthening our national security, and it starts by redeploying U.S. forces out of Iraq,"Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin wrote in an e-mail sent to 3 million people nationwide.

"It's time for every member of the Senate to send an important message that we must change course,"the senators wrote, imploring recipients to"take a stand against the senseless'stay the course'Bush policy"and tell their senators to vote with the two Democrats.

In what promises to be a highly partisan election-year showdown Wednesday, the GOP-controlled Senate plans to take up the proposal by Kerry and Feingold that would require the Bush administration to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by July 1, 2007. Redeployment would begin immediately, under the proposal.

At least six other Democrats have publicly or privately indicated support for that position in recent days. The Senate will vote on the proposal by week's end.

The Senate also will consider, and eventually vote on, a separate nonbinding resolution that has the backing of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and, his aides say, a majority of Democrats.

Possible White House Hopefuls...

Possible? More like: Remote, fat-chance, negligible, out-in-left-field, slender, insignificant White House hopefuls.

The good thing is that Kerry will have a chance to go on the record for the war again after he voted against it.

The party of Cowards try desperately to change the subject away from the fact that AQ in Iraq is on its heels and in dire straits, and are using this regurgitated BS to once again give hope to their compatriots in Iraq. The Democrats must not allow our mission in Iraq to be successful, and for many reasons.

I wish it was back in the 19th century and the citizens could simply grab their arms, form a committee of vigilance, and take matters into their own hands. Our system is irrevocably broken to be allowing this open treason and cowardice go unanswered and unpunished, IMO.

Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts ...

Dammit. Get it straight. It's Sen. John Kerry of Vietnam.

Has Kerry been to Vietnam? I'm surprised that's never been mentioned...:-)

[jveritas]

Exactly. Besides that both are traitors both of them are just political clowns who have an absolute ZERO chance of becoming President.

Glad to see the Democrat party can pull together on something!

I fixed the title.

Much more appropriate!!!

Well, you know how modest he is.

Although if you press him on it, he will reluctantly tell you about the time he rescued an entire submarine crew patrolling the Mekong Youjane Delta after having both his arms and legs blown off by an enemy bazooka.

Didn't they just lose a vote on this very proposal, 6-93, last week? Shouldn't that vote leave these distinguished Senators somewhat silenced, at least temporarily?

[coconutt2000]

If I were the suspicious type, I'd think that they were put up to it by the DNC to make Hillary look more moderate.

[Personal Responsibility]

Excellent work! You have a future at the Onion or Scrappleface!

[sgtbono2002]

Kerry is still having orgasms after being responsible for the lives of thousands orf Montagnards.

How can this POS wake in the morning and face himself in the mirror.

[magslinger]

Thanks. If I was writing for a satire site I would have come up with something totally implausible like:

John Kerry Keeps Same Opinion For Half Hour

Laura needs "surrender monkeys" to go with the butt monkeys.

Like most blood sucking vampires, the Senator cannot see himself in a mirror!
