Boy, those 'Rats sure use a lot of words and fancy phrases for a bunch of people who don't say much and don't even know what in Hell they're talking about.
WOW! That is very strong language from the RATS.
I need to be clear. Everything they want is the exact same thing the President and our military has done except for redeploying our troops before the end of the year.
In other words, Mr. President we agree with you on everything, but you have to cut and run before the end of 06.
I urge all Democratic leaders to take their ideas and fold'em five wways and them....well, you know the rest.
To where? The on-going battles in Okinawa?
SO the talking meme right now is the Republicans are distancing themselves from president Bush, while the Dems are all united, holding hands and singing "We shall overcome?"
What do the terrorists want? They want the US to cut and run from Iraq.
What do the democrats want? They want the US to cut and run form Iraq. (list few statements of cutting and running from Iraq by Murtha, Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, etc…)
Vote for the safety of America, vote Republican.
Of course they have to start off with the Vietnam comparisons even though every REAL expert on Vietnam says this is NOT Vietnam. While every American lose of life is tragic it's less than 5% of the numbers we lost in Vietnam. A month ago the Rats were claiming Iraqis were losing 120 lives a day to violence but according to the Pentagon Report it was 3600 for the months of May and June then 1600 for the month of July which averages to 58 lives per day. Not good at 58 per day but not even close to what the Rats have been claiming.
Nan has so many great ideas , why doesn't she seek the office of the presidency ?
I'm sorry, but if you are really trying to work with someone, you don't do it by telling them to change to porve that "that you recognize the problems your policies have created in Iraq and elsewhere".
As to their "plan", I'm pretty sure their first two bullets are already in place: Our troops largely are doing "counter-terrorism, training, logistics and force protection"; we are ALREADY in a phased redeployment, having removed 15,000 troops, and will remove more as they aren't needed.
On their other two points, those are just meddling in the affairs of a sovereign country, namely Iraq. There's no changes possible to the constitution of Iraq right now, because as the Vice President of Iraq noted last week, the Sunni's have NOT SUBMITTED ANY REQUEST FOR CHANGES. And since the problems in Iraq are sectarian violence between citizens of a sovereign country, there is no justification, or precidence, for another nation to call for an international conference to "to support a political settlement in Iraq".
Imagine if Russia called for an international conference to support a political settlement in the United States between the democrats and republicans, and you can see how offensive that suggestion would be to the now-standing Iraqi government.
The Democrats proposal pretends there is NO IRAQI GOVERNMENT. NONE of their steps involves the Iraqi government in any way, nor are any a result of request from the Iraqi government. They ignore the government because, just like they feel with the Bush Administration, they seem to think the Iraqi government is illegitimate.
I thought Irey had a great rebuttal to this.
As for the lastest from Nancy, vacuous as always and offering nothing.
