John Edwards calls for immediate withdrawal from Iraq
Associated Press ^ | 08/07/06

Posted on 08/08/2006 7:03:09 AM PDT by presidio9

Former vice presidential candidate John Edwards said today that the United States should begin pulling troops out of Iraq immediately.

Edwards, who may run again for the Democratic presidential nomination, was in Moultonboro (New Hampshire), campaigning for state Senator David Gottesman.

Edwards says the U.S. should make it clear to the Iraqis that the Americans are leaving and the best way to do that is to begin removing troops.

He called for a complete withdrawal within a year to 18 months.

Edwards also said Israel had the right to defend itself against the Hezbollah but said there needs to be an international security force placed in southern Lebanon.

Try reading sometime. It's intellectually stimulating.

"John Edwards said today that the United States should begin pulling troops out of Iraq immediately."

How is 18 months an "immediate" withdrawal?

When the Cut and Run Democrat Congress cut spending for Vietnam it was a sign to our enemies it was time for them to go on the all out offensive.

For all of you who haven't seen it...here is a link to "The Breck Girl" on my home page. It is a RIOT...the man obsessively primps and preens until you come to the conclusion that he has Hair OCD.
